"Another point to be considered in connection with the Manhattan loop Is the fact that no provision at all has been made for operating trains or cars therein. Unless arrangements can be made with existing lines to use this loop, 'power stations and electric plants will have to be constructed, which In themselves will mean the further outlay of many millions which would not be Justified In iiny way for the short stretch unless It were mailo part of a plan of a deflnito loop' such as the Lafayette section with its congested population would be most likely to warrant. "Along those lines I shall as an official and a citizen heartily co-operate nnd til amount of public clamor or editorials as to what South Brooklyn voters are going to do to officials In opposition, such as peared last night, and on -lines, of the resolutions adopted by organizations In South Brooklyn, will have any effect upon mo whatever, nor can they have upon any official who considers merely his duty to the city as a whole Instead of favoring one section as' against another."

North Shore Trains and Trolley Lines Tied Up While the Firemen A dangerous lire in the midst of high explosives on the property of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in Long Island City, which is being developed as the Sunny-side Yards, about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon caused suspension of nil traffic on the North Shore Division of the Long Island Railroad and on the Flushing, College Polnf nnd Corona lines of the New York and Queens County flail-rpad. Four companies of the firemen from Long Island City had difficulty in preventing the spread of the flames to a quantity of high explosives.

Tho shack was morn than 200 feet long aim thirty feet wldo. The eastern end was used by all the carpenters and riggers cmployoiKon tho Job as a tool room nnd for leaving their street clothes whtl they were at work.

In a building sheathed with corrugated iron, was a lot of high explosives. When the firemen answered I he alarm the fire was gaining rapid headway. The shack stood just north of the tracks of the Long Islnnd Railroad running lo Whitestono, Flushing and Grout Neck.

About, the time the firemen came watchmen were sent hurrying up the railroad tracks to flag all trains. The lines of hose were laid across Jackson avenue at the corner of Sklllman avenue, and that also stopped the trolley traffic. The firemen, learning of thp dangerous situation of the lire worked like Trojans and- nftor -getting'" four streams going drowned out the blaze. The part of thri shack where the oil was stored was badly scorched and was burning twice before the flames were entirely out. The loss will nbout $200 on tho building, about $500 on the tools nnd about J500 on the clothing of tho men; Most of the workmen who had their clothes in the building had to go homo In their -overalls and jackets.

1 CATTLE DISEASE SPREADS. Harrlsburg, December 12 The foot and mouth disease, which made its ap? pearance among cattle In this state about a month ago, has infected. It is estimated, 100 herds. All the cattle were killed by state and Federal veterinarians, and the indemnity for these animals will reach about. Stale Veterinarian Leonard Pearson said to-day: "I think the general situation is better; we are getting the disease under control.

While ft few cases have been reported this week, the disease has appeared only in localU ties which were previously infected. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

"The platform at Thirty-sixth street is positively unsafe when crowded, as it nearly always is in the rush hours, and the wait upon the practically unsheltered platform in disagreeable weather is at any time a sufficient cause for pneumonia. B. R. T. Could Better Service, but Heal Remedy Is the Subway.

"The rush for surface cars was never as bad as at the present time and not only does it appear impossible for the railroad company to operate nearly enough cars to accommodate the persons who must from the elevated but the public Is not served properly because of tho fact a goodly proportion are dumped at Bay Ridge avenue, where they must again undergo a tedious wait and bo jammed Into another crowded car. "Under present conditions there is little to attract a man to this section to live, whereas with proper transit the growth of the Bay Ridge section and other south Brooklyn localities would advance by leaps and bounds. The section maintains Its popularity solely from the fact that It is one of the most attractive 111 Brooklyn, but without a speedy Improvement In traffic conditions, or the definite promise of improvements to conic, it will be difficult indeed to continue tho growth which has been so conspicuous In the past few years and which has, of course, been partially responsible for the present conditions. "There ran be no doubt that tho Brooklyn Ropld Transit Company could appreciably better its service by running more through surface cars, and that it could also provide more cars at Sixty-fifth street and a decent, station at, Thirty-sixth "Real nnd lasting relief, however, will not ho obtained until wu secure the construction of the Fourth -avenue subway and to allow this facility to terminate anywhere short of Forty-third street would be little less than a death blow to tho entire section which tho subway was planned to 7- WIFE GOT DECREE. Husband Made No Defense in Divorce Proceeding Case With 223 Defendants.

to tljo l'atchogue, L. 1., December 12 Justice Walter W. Jaycox held the regular special term of the Supreme Court here today. There was but one. divorce proceeding, in which Hedwig Peisingcr of New-York City was granted an interlocutory decree ot divorce from her husbandt Max l-'cisinger.

The parties were married June 19, 1903, and have one a girl. An Unknown corespondent, was named. No defense was entered. Another case tried was that In which 223 persons are made defendants. It was the case of Michael J.

Ryan of Brooklyn, ngniiist- Emma N. Cantillion, the Long Island Railroad Company nnd others to foreclose -a mortgage for given in 1S78, which, with the added interest to date, amounts to over $9,000. The property involved is at Wyandanch and is a part of a lot scheme In that section dating back to about 1892. Percy L. Housel appeared for the plaintiff.

The mortgage was originally given by George W. Co.iklln, and it is claimed that sufficient Interest payments have been made to keep the mortgage alive, otherwise it might have lapsed under the twenty year limitation of mortgages. There were eighteen appearances of the extended list of defendants, which finally simmered down to the filing of answers 'by anly nine of them. The only attorneys to eventually defend the case were Charles C. Suffern for Emma Hackett nnd the counsel for tho Long Island Railroad Company.

The case was adjourned for two weeks. BOY DEAD AND FROZEN. Rochester, N. December 12 The dead and frozen body of Robert Schults, aged J5, was found In a Held near his home in Bi rgen to-night. There was a bullet wound In the left breast, arid near the feet lay a pony rifle.

Young Schultz had started ptit the day before to look at some muskrat traps he had set. He did not return, but his parents thought he had gone to the home of his grandfather for the night. After an absence of twenty-four hours search was made; nnd the body found in the field. It. is thought that the boy was accidentally shot.

Controller Metz gave out a statement yesterday in explanation of the resolution which ho Introduced at the meeting of the Board of Estimate on Friday lnr viting tho l'ublie Service Commission to submit a form of bid for the construction of the first half ot the second section of the Fourth avenue subway. The explanation also serves tho purpose of giving Mr, Metz another opportunity to urge the construction of the Lafayette avenue loop. The proposed subway under the Flat-bush avenue extension. If built, Mr. Metz says, could be used as a termlnil for cars crossing the Manhattan Bridge in the same manner as the subway terminal Is used on tho Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge.

The cars In this way could be brought clear to Fulton street instead of 'stopping at Sands street. Though this section nnd-a half of the subway can be used In connection with the Fourth avenue route. Mr. Metz declares that in his mind It is far more essential td the transportation needs of Brooklyn to build tho Lafayette nvenue loop and connect It with that. The bridge loop in Manhattan, he points out, will be useless unless a similar loop is constructed In Brooklyn.

He reiterates his opposition to the Fourth avenue subway, explaining that In his opinion It would be years before It would give an adequate return on the money invested. He also expresses his indifference to the clamor and demands of the South Brooklyn residents. Metz's Statement. The statement is as follows: "So that there may be no misunder standing as to my attitude In connection with the resolution presented to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment ysterdny. in regard to subway construc tion, I want to make it plain that my only purpose in offering the resolution to the Board of Estimate at this time was to enable work to be started on tho Flatbush avenue extension to the new Manhattan Brldgo.

Unless this is undertaken at once it will be imposslblo to get any service out of the bridge for transnortation purposes. "Whether a subway connection is made or not over the bridge has no bearing upon the first section. It could be used for a terminal for cars from New York over the bridge the same as tho terminal at the Manhattan end of the Williamsburg Bridge is now used for the Brooklyn cars, and the cars could be brought clear to Fulton street instead of dumping passengers at Sands street, on the Bridge Plaza, six or eight blocks from any posslblo connection, or where they want to go. "In submitting plans for the subway t.e eventual running of elevated trains over the extension will also have to be borne In mind. Whether the subway section is used or not the cost of getting t' street in shape acid tho rechanging would eventually not be greater than If the entire thing wore completed nt once, and we would be assured nt least of al lowing trolley cars to run over the bridge from Fulton1 street, DoKalb avenue, Myrtle avenue, and all the other lines further downtown.

"The first section and part of th'e soe-i section to Fulton street will also bo available either for the Fourth nvenue subway, if It should eventually be built, or the Lafayette avenue subway. I offered a resolution to tho Board of Estimate nnd Apportionment long ago, which was submitted to the Public Service Commission, calling attention to the fact that the Lafayette avenue subway, if constructed, would relievo practically all the short haul section now using the Do-Kilb nvenue, Gates avenue, Myrtle avenue and Putnam avenue lines from Broadway to the Bridge, and would relieve materially the crowding of the trolley lines; and necessarily also the Brooklyn Bridge congestion, besides enabling connection to be made over the Williamsburg Bridge with the bridge loop subway In Manhattnn, which so far as any plans are now concerned will be entirely useless. Income Not the Vital Matter. "Whether we are going to get any revenue from that subway or not does not bother me much at this time. We haVe 'ncurred the expense of about $10 nflO.OOfi for the Manhattan loop and are paying Interest and sinking fund annually for the amounts expended out of our tax levy.

The longer it remains idle the less compensation we will have for the amount collected In taxes on account of Its building. Unless othor arrangements can be made which will guarantee an Income, the people of Brooklyn could nt least get some use out of this subway if the trolley cars over the Williamsburg Bridge were allowed to use, say, two tracks Instead of stopping at the Manhattan terminal of the bridge, nnd were allowed to continue through Delnncey street and the extension down Centre street to City Hall, thus taking people where they really want to go, instead? of dumping them off six or eight blocks from nowhere anu making them walk or pay another fare. "Whether anything could be collected from the trolley lines for the privilege of using this subway, is an open question, but we will be getting some return In their carrying passengers over two miles farther and delivering them where they want to go. Thl3 would also materially relieve the crush on the old Brook lyn Bridge. "In view of (he state of the public mind against corporations and transportation companies in particular, this may sound preposterous, but to my mind we ought to consider somewhat the comfort of the citizens and taxpayers who are compelled to use these transportation lines, and if we can get them something for nothing, or In addition to what they now pay tor, we are getting a return just as essentia) to our progress and development as If no got a direct- cash return from these corporations.

"I hope the Public Service Commission will be able to work out some plan thai will bring satisfactory returns to the city under our present existing laws. Personally I have grave doubts as to whether full compensation can be obtained, treating the matter simply as a business proposition, but whether It can or not the people using the trolley lines have rights and those should be considered In addition to cash receipts to the city as a whole. More and More Opposed to Fourth Avenue Subway. "The more I go Into the details of the Fourth avenue subway and the more thinking men' take the matter up. the more I feel that my course in regard' to It was absolutely Justified, and that (he building of it under existing conditions and by the city, will mean an eventual charge in the tax levy for tnterest and redemption, which will necessarily in- Conditions on Both Elevated and Surface Linss Argument for Subway.

BAD POINTS OF CONGESTION. Thirty-sixth and Sixty-fifth Streets Are Particular Sore Spots in Inadequate and Incommodious Service. That residents of South Brooklyn and Bay Ridge are compelled to submit to almost intolerable traffic conditions in order to reach their homes is advanced as one of the most potent of the arguments favor of the immediate construction of the six sections of the Fourth avenue subway as far as Forty-third street, anJ as an equally sound reason why no compromise upon a part of the subway, that does not give ultimate assurance of the whole route, should be considered. That there has been little effort to remedy tho congested conditions maintaining at Thirty-sixth -street and Filth avenue and at Sixty-fifth street and Third avenue, where thousands of passengers are night ly compelled to transfer from tho elevated to surface cars. Is one of the cnicf grievances claimed tne residents of these sections, and it is set forth that no permanent relief can bo hopod for until additional facilities ore secured.

It Is alleged that after oft repeated complaints to the Tubllc Service Commission as to the service with which Bay Ridge residents have for months hod to put up, a date was finally fixed when, a representative of the conimlsslon 'Should investigate the conditions, but that' the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company was apprised in advance of the visit, and that the company considerably improved the service on the night the investigation was made, and that since that time the same conditions as heretofore have existed. What Inquiry Into Complaints He-veals. An examination into the complaints of the residents of Bay Ridge and SiiMth Brooklyn reveals conditions that are dis graceful, and to tho observer it Is dltti- ult to see how any great improvement can be made until vast!" belter for these sections of the borough ate provided. Persons who' live in Bay Ridge, Bor ough Park, Bath Beach, Beusonhurst, Fort 'Hamilton and the other sections in the southerly wards of the borough reached by. the Fifth avenue and Bay R.dge, Culver and Sea Beach elevated lines, 1ft order to get part of the way at least In their journey home from business usually take the first train that comes along at the Park row terminal of the bridge or at the stations in down town Brooklyn convenient to them.

Crowding at Thirty-sixth Street Station Dangerous. This necessitates that they transfer at Thirty-sixth street to the train surface car that will finally take them to their destination, and at this point the congestion, as well as other conditions with which the passengers have to put up. is almost terrifying to those unaccustomed to it. On the elevated structure, where the transfer from one tram to another is made, the platform Is hardly more than fifteen feet In width, and at times becomes' so crowded with waiting passengers as to constitute a real menace to the safety of those upon It. Nor is this all.

A wait of from five to fifteen or twenty minutes is at certain hours necessitated before the right train eomo3 along, and in cold or rainy weather this wait, which has to be undergone practically without shelter, is not alone extremely disagreeable, but the passenger often has to undergo exposure which might easily have disastrous consequences. Lack of Suitable Shelter. In the rush hours In the evening, while the wait for a train is not always so there is always the, danger which Is contingent upon crowding a n.ir row and incommodious platform to the limit of its capacity and ths further fact that suitable provisions for- shelter are- totally lacking in the arrangements. Slad Hush for Surface Cars. From each of the trains arriving at the Thirty-sixth street station many passengers transfer to the Fifth avenue surface cars, and in the street the conditions ore fully a3 bad as those existing on the elevated Long before all the.

pas-genres from any one train had even a chance to reach the street the surface car provided to carry thorn further has h.n, filled to overflowing. and it Is. well night impossible for a woman to board the car at all. The scramble for each surface car is a forcible reminder of the worst features of the bridge crush only that all of the cars in tho rush hours are Jammed to an extent never permitted at the bridge, as passengers stand on the steps and fill every place where It, Is possible to cling In any manner. Beyond this there1 are no adequate-f rllitics provided here for- pas.nongora that are compelled to wait, and night 1,.

fop half llOlir tO elapse between cars. Nearly all of the cars operated from Thirty-sixth street are Bay Ridge avenue cars, and the passengers who have to go beyond this point must again transfer. From fifteen to thirty minutes is the usual time between through cars to Fort Hamilton and to other points beyond Bay Ridge avenue, s'o that passengers who have this far to go are compelled eMier to wait or. transfer twice, in most instances, as well as to be packed like Mr-dines. Situation a': Sixty-fifth Street Terminal Also Unsatisfactory.

Conditions are not appreciably better at, the Sixty-fifth street terminus of the elevated, where each tralnload that alights cotita.ns many more passengers than can be accommodated in the surface cars provided for them. The same rush for a car that Is enacted at Thirty-sixth street is repeated at this polrt. and It. is not at all unusual for womt-n to be left entirely in the scramble. How a Passenger Summarizes Conditions.

A passenger on his way home to Bay Ridge last evening summarized the conditions to an Eagle representative in the following terms: "The transit situation as is affects Bay Ridge and a large part of southerly Brooklyn is so bad as to have caused many people to taku 1-p their residence in other sections of the city, and it is also undeniable that many have already removed to New Jersey and other places where they are not compelled tj submit to conditions that are Insufferable. "The state of affairs which you have seen to-night Is a fair example of what Ridge and Ssuth Brooklyn residents are called upon to put up with every day, although there are manyy occasions when i httve seen iteven worse. do not believe that the average suburban commuter who has to travel thirty miles out of town to his home is more disappointed upon losing his train than is the resident of Bay Ridge who at Park Row luys to take some train other than the one which will carry, him to his destination. resident of Bay Ridge who misses the train for Sixty-fifth street is delayed inywhere from a half hour to an hour reaching his home nnd not only this, but ho is compelled to transfer at Thirty- OFFERMAN BUILDING, FULTON STREET (Formerly Chapman's Department Store.)
