No one vouched lor the story, but a member of the commission, when asked about it, said that it was one of the possibilities of the general subway situation. It was pointed out in connection with the story that the McAdoo plan leaves the Manhattan Bridge open, so that an Independent operator of the Fourth avenue could loop into Manhattan and keep a continuous train service in operation, naturally and logically. The matter was brought to the attention of the Brooklyn Rapid Trans.t Company but there, however, it was denied. oM that there was no and his grandparents at 720 Fifth avenue, dropped out of sight Saturday night, and to-day it was learned that his grandfather, Nicholas Frltil, has ilnce received a letter demanding a ransom of $5,000.

The letter said that if Frltzi did not pay, his grandson would be killed by having his head cut off. The communication-threatened further that if Frltzi went to the police to complain then he himself would be made away with. Fritz! did not go to the police, but other tenantB in the building got wind of list affair, and this morning they went it terror to the Fifth avenue station, at Sixteenth street, where they told Acting Captain Ivory about Mlkey Fritzi's disappearance and about the letter. When detectives questioned Nicholas Fritzi, he su'ch proposal now before the company consideration. From another source! admitted readily enoueh that what he gast and President Mitchel.

President Steers' compromise provides a stipulation that the company must pro. vide a thoroughfare over the parking of the tracks afthe more Important streets which cross Coney Island avenue, and a crossing through the parking in the center of blocks which are unusually long. It remains to be seen whether the majority members of the committee consider this compromise plan of the Borough President of Brooklyn. The same plan was advocated by the opponents of the parking scheme, when It was considered originally by the old Board of Estimate. The plan was disregarded when the board passed tho resolution approving of he.

parking of the tracks. Controller Prendergast and President Mitchell will have, their say on tho Steers compromise plan when the meets. They are not yet fully acquainted with the details and Inasmuch as. the compromise has jbeen laid officially before them they do not care just now to make any comment. It can be stated officially that the majority members of the commission will not consider, the request of President Steers for a reclsion of the resolution authorizing the parking scheme.

The majority of the committee, in view of Justice Clarke's decision, will stand by the resolution of the old Board it Estimate. The Con'ey Island and Brooklyn Railroad Company, it ts understood, will not acquiesce In the Steers compromise plan, but will "stand pat" on the resolution which was originally passed by the old Board of Estimate. APPROVE NEW FREIGHT RATES WASHINGTON GETS HEWS suggesting a practicable plan upon which the city can begin at once for tho relict of the congestion on the went sido of Manhattan end tho problem as to the Brooklyn water front said: "Tho position of the department has changed somewhat as a result of criticism and conferences with the various transportation corporations and civic bodice. "The only essential things to provide for now are an elevated freight railroad along the west side of Manhattan, coupled with float bridges above Twenty-third street, where the New Jersey railroads ci.u transfer thelrj cars from car floats to Buch a road. The construction of such a road with the float bridges Is not a staggering expense.

Transfer Unloading to East Side of West Street. "At present the west side of Manhattan is obstructed by the storage of a largo flotilla of- car floats which come over trom New Jeivey every morning and are returned every, evening. If the loading and unloading of the cars could be taken away from the waterfront and transferred to the other side of the river street, the docks would then be released for marine commerce which is thulr proper use, and for which they are badly needed now. "The New York Central must remove Its tracks from the surface of the street and an elevated railroad affords the only opportunity for doing so. Brooklyn Waterfront Problem Easy of Solution.

"The proper treatment of the Brooklyn waterfront has already been outlined in the Brooklyn Eagle. The problem there is much simpler and not complicated by such conditions as obtain in Manhattan; and the fact that the Brooklyn waterfront Is In the control ot a few corporations really affords an opportunity rather than an obstruction to Its proper treatment, since trie necessities of these corporations are such at the present time that they not only must, but will desire to work out with the city a plan for local improvement which will be beneficial to all interests.

McAdoo, president of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company conferred for an hour this morning with Tubllc Service Commissioner Wlllcox, and after the operator had gone away the chairman made public the strongest statement he has vet Riven out In defense of the McAdoo project.

McAdoo Means to Bid on Tri-borough Route. "Mr. McAdoo." the chairman of the Commission said, "states, and I so understand the matter, that his offer 1b ah offer for the operation of the Trl-borough route. The proposal now before us takes In the three boroughB and the extensions will be taken under consideration later. For the present Mr.

McAdoo thinks he has done enough In merely bidding on the parts of the route for which there are contracts to be awarded. "Naturally Mr. McAdoo desires to unite the new Tri-borough system with Ms New Jersey system, and for that purpose the links referred to In his letter wore projected. They are an integral part of the proposal. It seems to me that this Is reasonable enough." The commissioner was asked if the Broadway section of the Broadway-Lafayette loon would be omitted for good lrom the subway proposal of Mr.

McAdoo. He said it was his understanding that the section would be deferred, but not indefinitely postponed. In regard to the Fourth avenue subway, Mr. Willcox said no conclusion had been reached. He said that, in a general way, the statement that McAdoo had made a bid only on the parts about to be awarded, but was prepared to confer on extensions, covered everything.

Nothing Doing Yet by Shonts. Theodore r. Shonts and the Interborough Comnany made no move this morn tenants had told the police was substantially true.

In March his son died, leaving his wife and children dependent upon the grocer.

Frltzi wont cheerfully at the job of caring for his small descendants, but it has taken all the money he could get from his business to do It. Consequently, as he explained to-day In broken English, he hasn't $5,000, or even $500, and doesn't expect to be able to pay the ransom demanded of him. Story Told by Little Pal of the Missing Boy. Acting Captain Ivory, following instructions under the new police regime, turned his information over to Detectives Pucciano and Devoti, assigned to his precinct for night duty, and they went out to try to get some trace of the missing boj and his captor. They learned more from seven-year-old Charles Curry than from anyone else.

Charley and Mlkey were "pals." and Charley "was with Mlkey on Saturday night. Charley told the detectives that he and Mlkey were playing in the street late Saturday afternoon when a strange man asked them if they wouldn't like to go to a moving-picture show. They said they would, and accompanied the man. who promised to buy them soma candy, too. Charley could give ly a meager description of their acquaintance.

He was tali, the boy thought, smooth-shaven, dark complexion and wore a blue suit, a light colored sweater and tan shoes. How old he was Charley couldn't say, and the detectives admit they haven't much of a clew In the description.

They claim that Instead of only ninety being out, an was stated yesterday, there are more than 300 employes on strike, for higher pay and the right to organize a union. They say that 150 fitters more will go out to-night.

It is six years since there has been a striko In the factory, which last eight weeks, and an agreement was then made with the Boot and Shoe Makem Union, whicn will expire on April 15, 1911. Wichert Gardner announce that they' will confer with their employes. The strikers say that the Eoot and Shoemakers Union is siding with the capitalists and that is the reason they aro organizing this strike, for the purpoue of getting a union of their own. While the firm says that the workers are getting from $20 to $35 a week, a welt taster, thisthis morning showed an cnvelopo in which he had received $73.35. but out of this amount he says he had to pay a second latter, a finisher, two sewers, a heeler and a bottom finisher, so that the net balance for himself for the week was $15.

If they remained until April there would be the dull season when the mployers could dictate the terms. Superintendent Grlffln of the Wlchcri Gardner Company said to-day that th" Boot and Shoemakers Union, acting tip tho their agreement, are filling the places of those who have gone out. He anticipated no trouble, and feels sure that thu contract will be carried out.

There hss been no trouble about the factory on the part of tho strikers. No sooner said than done. With a ruBh the women emptied the hall and, several hundred strong, started for Downing street. With unexpecte good fortune they encountered Mr. Asqulth en route, and belore the Premier realized the sltua-t'on, he was surrounded by irate Suffragettes.

It was not long before he recognized that ho was in a hostile camp, for without any preliminaries, Miss Henrietta Williams struck the government leader, at the same time ejaculating: "You tax women as heavily as men, yet women are not represented in Parliament." Shrill police whistles brought officers from all nearby quarters, and. as the women struggled among themselves for the privilege of getting at him, the Premier was hustled into a taxicab.

Confirmation of The Eagle's exclusive story that the Interborough would propose to construct a BUbway with a large block of its own capital, is being heard everywhere In Manhattan to-day. It Is said that the proposal will be to build the 'Manhattan subway on a 50 ner cent, basis, the city to pay $35,000,000 and the Interborough to nay 535,000.000, the Interborough afterward to equip and operate the subway. It Is being pointed out to-day that the McAdoo and Interborough projects, as well as the Bradley, Gaffney, Steers proposal of two years ago, provide for downtown tunnel for Brooklyn, feeding the Heights section and the business administrative center nearby.

The lack of such a tunnel. Insisted upon by the men who are risking private capital, is believed to indicate that here is a weak point In the Trl-borough plans, and one which the final proposals may rectify.

For a considerable time pandemonium reigned in the vicinity of the ministerial residences and government offices. Shrieking women, many of them armed with bamboo poles that had been used to support banners, but now served as lances, fought like Amazons, desperately attacking the police, and clawing and kicking to such good purpose that the police line was broken and the officers forced to temporarily retire. Police reinforcements were hurried to the scene, and hurling themselves against the rioters, checked the advance. Women and their male sympathizers were hurled to the ground. In many instances, the officers literally dragged the women out of the fighting zone, and thus saved them from being trampled to death by the mob behind.
