MORE CARS ON "MET." LINES. Smith Street Co. Increasing EquipmentBrooklyn Streets Cleared. The Gas Problem. The anmip.l report which the Public Service Commission is required to make to the Legislature will be an Interesting document.

The report is now being prepared, and Its contents, it is asserted, are sure to vindicate the judgment of Governor Hughes In fighting for the passage of the law creating the two commissions which regulate transportation, gas and other matters In the clly and state. What has been accomplished by the New York City Commission Is satd to be remarkablo when the fact 1b taken Into consideration that It has only been at work for four months. Improvements have been secured In the service rendered by tho public service corporations In the city which, under the old conditions would never have been dreamed of. The revelations of the investigation into tho affairs of the In-terborough Metropolitan aro well known. Tho probing Into the affairs of tho be resumed at an early date.

The In-terBorough Rapid Transit Company has terBorough Rapid Transit Company has increased Its reivice 20 per cent. In ac- cordance with the Instructions of the Commission. The Coney Island and Brooklyn Rail- road Company has announced. its counsel. William N.

Dykman, that It will pass two dividends for the purpose of providing the additional equipment nC ll.a ri I ltllllltU IU (III UIUCI3 Ul LUC V.U1UIMIO- slon and for other equipment which rep resentatives of the company, on the stand at hearings before the Commission, said under oath that they had. in contemplation. The installation of the additional equipment ordered is expected to result in a quicker movement of surface cars over tho Brooklyn Bridge, since the defective Coney Island and Brooklyn ''Railroad Company cars have frequently caused serious blocks. Another final order of the Commission, approving the application of the Nassau Puiln-iv Cnmnativ tr narmia- sion to extend Its tracks to Livingston 1 C.t ton and other streets, settled within five Hnva nf tho filino- of the nnl I In question involving material relief for the most congested point of surface transporiation in Brooklyn. Negligence of Contractors Stopped.

To the list of final orders of the commission given above might be added another class relating to subway construction which would include orders to the contractors and to the Nassau Electric Railroad Company regarding the surface conditions on Kulton street, Flatbush avenue, Livingston street, Ncvlns street and olher cross streets In the vicinity of the route taken by the Brooklyn and Manhattan subway Within a week the commission accomplished more toward the cleaning up of surface conditions due to subway construction In Fulton street, Brooklyn, than had been done In any six months before the commission came into existence. Testimony to this efTect can be received from the Fulton street merchants. The matter is of Importance to the business interests of Brooklyn because Fulton street Is Brooklyn's principal; business thoroughfare, and the section which was blocked from traffic by the work on the subway Is the busiest part of it. Few Frivolous Complaints. The commission has received approximately 550 corapIaintB regarding transit In New York City.

A fact worthy of remark is that very few of these complaints are frivolous. More of them are anonymous and therefore undeserving of attention, but even these lorm an exceedingly small part of the list. The vast majority of the complaint! have been considered by the commission of sufficient substance to require a thorough investigation. Though such investigation has often resulted in the merger of a number of In). intn a oinvln 1 1 uf hnfnra by the commission, it is nevertheless true that nearly every one of the 550 hna finnn Cl-anlarl aa a I o- nf vatna fnr iirp in wnrUintf- mil itibsolll- tion of the transit problems.

Many minor cmrinininis ttrp nanrnpti nv inp rnmmia- sioner or bv the secretary through cor respondence with the company and in this way satisfaction of a complaint has frequently been secured without the issuance of any order. An example of this method of treating a minor complaint is furnished by the suggestion made at various times during the summer and early fall by diflerent complainants that conductors on tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit llneB should be instructed to keep all ventilators open in the cars. A brief letter to the company resulted in proper instructions being immediately issued to conductors and enforced for the ventilation nf cars. The former Ranid Transit Commission had but one method of attacking the transit problem: that is. by additional rapid transit railroads.

The Public Service Commission oan do not only this, but can also order improvements in the service of existing lines, thus making possible improvement immediately, instead of after several years of construction. It has been vigorously attacking the transit problem In this Infer way. L'sing tho method of the old Rapid Transit Commission. It has smoothed out the dlffleu-ties in the way of the Fourth avenue prolect and will, within a week or so. advertise for bids for the construction of that route.

(S3 KHzabet), i i But' She Hasn't Heard From Missing Young Man, and. Is Heartbroken. NO CLEW TO FILANTE'S $64-0. Employer Still Kefuses to Accuse His Clerk and Thinks Explanation Is Possible. The police who have been looking up the record of William Grant, the eighteen- year-old clerk, who departed from the office of Anthony Fllante, a real estate man, at 729 Halsey street, on Wednesdiy last about tho time $800 In gold and $40 In kills disappeared from the safe, believe that he had an of the heart.

William la said to have been paying attention to a young woman of excellent family living not far from It will be recalled that William had a similar affair of the heart when he disappeared In July of last year, after between (500 and $600, which had been collected for William H. Agrlcola real estate broken at 1466 Broadway, had been reported aa unaccounted for. Then he wrote to a young woman that he was going away West and promised to send his picture to her In the uniform of a cowboy, which he never did, because he ended his Journey In Rochester, and afterward returned home and all was forgiven. Whether young Mr. Grant left any message for the first mentioned young woman before he dropped out ot sight on Wednesday the police are not Inclined to tell.

They admit tbey have located the young woman and they alio admit that abe le heart-broken becauae of the departure of William. Young Mr. Grant seems to resemble a chap who aome week! -ago waa rooming with a young man not far from where he was employed in a drug store. The young mail woke up one day toflnd that the chap who resembled Grant was gone. So was some of his own wearing apparel: A day or two later he received a letter through the mall telling htm that his former room-mate had needed some wherewithal and had taken the liberty of using some of hi! garments to get a loan from his "uncle." Please find the tickets ls-lued by the "uncle" Inclosed.

Well, thl! little affair straightened out all right and few ever learned the Identity of the chap who needed funds. Mr. Fllante, when seen last night, said that no message had come to him from his former clerk. He had hoped all along that William. If not a victim of foul play, would return and explain satisfactorily how the money had disappeared.

He was not prepared, he said, to believe wltnoui further proof that William was responsible for the disappearance of the money. The boy. he said, might have been held up. or even kidnapped. Such things had happened bofore.

One thina in connection with the dis appearance of William and the loss of the money, which he could not understand, Mr. Fllante said, was how the front door of his office came to be iockho and the key! to the same In the pocket of William's coat which was Inside tne ofhee. Mr. Fllante said he had been obliged to break Into his own office. There was a sign on my aoor wnicn read; 'Will be back In half an said Mr.

Fllante. last night. "It Is just nosslble some nerson or persons may have entered the office while William was alono and taking the money, forced the boy to go along with them, xou Bee, William would onlv send me Some word or return and explain, the matter could all be straightened out. 'At present I am all at sea. I do not wish to think William did anything wrong for he was one of the brightest, and most obliging clerks I ever had.

He had only been In my employ two weeks. After the first week I found him so capable that I raised his salary. I was expecting to give him another raise In the near future. The boy has a host of friends and everybody Is anxious to help him." ARGUMENT AGAIN POSTPONED. landholders at Long Beach Not Heady to Go On With Condemnation Proceedings.

(Special to the Eagle.) Mlneola. L. November 9 By request of counsel for some of the parties interested. Supreme Court Justice Town-send Scudder to-day granted an adjournment to November 16. In the matter of the Queens Terminal Company, which has petitioned for a commission to acquire by condemnation the right, title and Interest which Dr.

Carl Schmuck and a numbet of others have in lands leased or owned near Long Beach, where a wide, deep-water channel Is to be dredged in connection with the conversion of Long Beach Into a second Atlantic City. Former Controller Edwnrd M. Grout appeared for the company and was about to have testimony taken by one of his witnesses when it was disclosed that the lessees or owners wero not ready to go on. F.x-Judgo Thomas Young. John Lyon and Henry P.

Keith are among counsel for the landholders, some of whom, It was asserted to-day. hold their rights as high as $100,000. "And pay the town of Hempstead onlj $16 a year for them," Bald Mr. Grout, who pointed out the Importance of the Improvement and need of determining soon tho matter of a commission. "The refusal of theso people to sell their rights Is holding this Improvement up," he said.

The channel to bo dredged is that planned by the Estates of Long Beach and upon in its negotiations for meadow land purchased last spring from the town of Hempstead. GOOD PRICES FOR REALTY. Fifty-four JRockville Centre Lots Brought $18,989.50. (Special to the Eagle.) Rockvllle Centre, L. November 9 An Instance tending to disprove tho general cry at present that "money is occurred here this week at an auction sale of building lots In what Is called the Oak Grove Terrace tract.

The auction attracted a good-sized crowd of prospective buyers who invested $18,9311.50 In fifty-four lots, the price per front foot ranging from $10 to $24 a foot. A majority of the buyers paid for their lots in cash. ROBBED? MAYBE I An intoxicated man walked into tho Fifth avenue pollco station late Friday night and told Lieutenant Cornelius Sullivan, who was on the di sk that he had robbed. Ha was not certain where the alleged robbery had taken place, but he thought it was somewhere on Sev-enlh avenue, near the car barns. In the vicinity ot Nineteenth street.

The man safd he was James Nagle, aged 31. of 407 Nineteenth street. He is employed in the Navy Yard and was on his way home when robbed. He had received his week's wages earlier In the day, but only about a dollar remained. He said he had spent very little money in drinks and that the rest of his wages had been stolen.

The police deemed it best to lock up the man over night for safo keeping. In the morning, in the Fifth avenue court, Magistrate Gelsmar sus-poncd sentence. Police Think They Were Put Out by Three Fake Ball Swindlers. THREE MEN UNDER ARREST. Fourth Man, Who "Butted In" When Police Caught Trio, Also Locked TJp.

The members of the detective squad at local police headquarter! got word the other day that some Irresponsible persons wero about town pretending that they were collecting money for a benefit ball to be glvn In aid of the widow of the policeman of the Oak street station, who was shot and killed by a thug in Manhattan a few weeks ago. There was much indignation among the sleuths, and each vowed to the othor that If he laid hands" on tho swindlers, blood would flow. Joseph Oomringer is something of an expert In "fake ball swindlers." for he has arrested a lot of them, without much success as a convicter. it must be confessed, for it Is hard to got evidence in such rases. Gomeringer and his chum bagged three young men late last night, and one of them was a person who had been arrested before for swindling people by pretending to sell tickets to a ball that never would take place, which was for the benefit of some of the hard-worked city servants, according to the programme.

Detective Lieutenants Gomeringer and O'Connor, who travel together, were up In the Third avenue district on other duties late yesterday afternoon, when they saw three young men go Into a second hand clothing store at the corner of Third avenue and Seventeenth street. One of the men was identified by Gomeringer and his comrade as a man who had been arrested before for a fake ball swindle, and the two detectives thought that they might be working the policeman's benefit fund. So they waited until the three got out of tho shop, and then went in and asked tho man what they had been doing there. They were told that the trio had represented themselves as a "committee" of Democratic Club," and that tney had been soliciting an "ad" for the souvenir programme of the ball. They had also been trying to get the tailor to buy ball tickets and had show nthem to him.

He had not said that he would advertise or buy, but had told them that he would consider it. In view of the fact that one of the young men said that he was a reformed alderman's son. Gomeringer and O'Connor had watched where the. three young men went, which was to a liquor enlocm on the opposite corner. Tho two detectives went over, and as they entered the barroom one of the men went to the washroom and threw something dowb Into the hopper of the closet and something else into the flush tank above It.

Observing this, the officers arrested the three men. Of course, there was a fuss. The men protested and one youhg enthusiast, who had more whisky In 'him than was good for any man, could not understand why two plain-looking men should arrest three, and foolishly butted In. with a vain notion that he was doing something chivalrous. He was arrested, too, but only for disorderly conduct, as the considerate detectives put It.

Ho wanted to fight all hands, and there was still a bit of fight left In him when he waa landed, much later. In a coll In the dingy police station on Adams street. This Inconsiderate person was Edward Gorman, aged 25 years, of 562 Seventh street. Tho other prisoners described themselves Joseph Warden, aged 28 years, an electrician, of 147 Lawrence street: John Smith, whose real name is Bald to be Cleary and his address 165 Garfield place, and Peter Carroll of 295 Sackett street. They were all locked up on -a charge of vagrancy, but this may be changed to something more serious this morning.

The detectives got the barkeeper in the Baloon where the men took refuge to fish out from the hopper and the flush tank the things the man had thrown In there. From the eamo seventy-five very damp ball tickets. They read BALL AND RECEPTION of the JEFFERSON DEMOCRATIC TO HE HELD AT tRVINO' HALL, SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMHRR 3D. 1007.

The place might be in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Richmond or at Put-in Bay, In the Far North. The omcers were more Interested, possibly, In two dummy programmes which were soggy with water when fished out.

These programmes were all marked off in advertising spaces and places for "Welcome to Our Friends." "Our Omcers," "Our Purpose!" and "Order of Dancing." and then there were other written In words, such as "Taken," "Paid," "Taken by A. M. and and indications that certain persons had paid for the "ads" that were to come, some some $3. and even some $5. The police hope that If there were any victim! they will be present In court when the case comes up.

or give the detectives at local headquarters some hint as to their willingness to go forward and make a complaint. "Tho trouble is," said Gomeringer sagely, last night, "that people who are stuck hate like thunder to acknowledge It, and so we find It hard to got complaints." FELL DOWN STAIES. James Evans Is in the Hospital as a Result. James Evans, a laborer, 30 years old, was found In a semi-unconscious condition late yesterday afternoon In the hallway of the house at 1002 Broadway. The attention of Policeman Conway of the Vernon avenue station was called to tho man and a call for an ambulance brought Dr.

Meyer of tho Gorman Hospital, who said the man's skull was fractured. An Investigation on the part of the police of the Vernon avenue station followed, with the result that it was learned that Evans had occupied a furnished room In the house up until a week ago when he moved to some unknown address, but left his clothing behind. It was presumed that Evans had been drinking during the afternoon, and when he went to the house for his clothing he tumbled down the stairs, sustaining hlB injuries. He was removed to the Gorman Hospital. AUTO KNOCKED LADS DOWN.

Chauffeur Arrested for Driving Recklessly Along Manhattan Street. Salvatore Paclflco, 6 years old, and his brother, Tony, a year older, who live at "7 Sullivan street, Manhattan, were kuocked down at Grand street and West Broadway yesterday afternoon by an automobile driven by Irving Smith.

Bruokly I uj iuai chj ini is at present engaged with a corps of as sistants In Investigating tne cuuuiwuu subway equipment. When he has completed his investigation he Is expected to make recommendations to the commis sion Indicating the method by wnicn too greatest possible use can be got from the subway. A. W. McLimont, an electrical expert nminan who has built and equipped railroads, Is making a thorough investigation for the commission of the equipment of the surface lines.

Mr. Mc Limont corps of inspectors tent of examining every car of a com pany before making a final report on Its equipment. On Monday of this ween me rauj.i.- sloners made a personal inspection ot the conditions at both ends of the Black-well's Island Bridge. It Is the Intention rh. nmmiuoinn in demonstrate the Importance of this bridge.

It has power i tho hrldze for the transportation of persons between Queens Borough and Manhattan. The commisssion Is not trcaunis i hmnDi aa the nnlv means ior quick transportation betwen these two boroughs. With surface lines In Queens which can be compelled to make connections over the bridge, surface lines In Manhattan which can be compelled to make similar connections and the possibility of granting a separate franchise for operation over the bridge, the commission Is in a position to make use of this structure on which the city nas spent millions of dollars without thus tar showing any commensurate benctlt. Tncklintr the Gas Problem. Among the duties which devolved upon Commission was that of tne (ormer state inspector of gas meters, whose office was abolished by tho Public Service Commission act.

The commission. teiled that "0 tested by. the commission, and. In order it0 'secure the accuracy of such test, no I meter was sealed which did not come i within the percentage allowed by law. In ll t- hfteo lltlCCI hV tllP fontier Ul Cue Milium department, the commission substituted a wax seal, which Is placed upon the lid of the meter, so that It is Impossible to open the meter without breaking this seal.

The result of the adoption of this method of sealing meters assures consumers that, at the time the meter was tested, It was within the percentage of error allowed by law. During the month of October, with the full force of men at work, it averaged over 1,000 meters a day. or at the rate of over 300.000 meters per year. The magnitude of this work may be apprecl- i i. i wn iriven in actual I Liivotj 11..

test and has been sealed with wax so as to prevent Us being opened without destroying the seal. In addition to the work of testing new and repaired meters, the commission has taken up the work of testing meters upon complaint of consumers. Within a period of three months, the commission has received over 750 applications for the test ot meters upon complaint. In. one Instance, the commission discovered a meter which registered over 150 per cent, fast, so that for every 1,000 feet of gas consumed the consumer was charged at the rate of $2.50.

This, however, was an exceptional case. 'fi OLD LANDMARK UNSAFE. Tenants Turned Out of Fourth Ward Hotel by Building Inspectors. After 50 years of service, the old Fourth Ward Hotel, now a tenement house, and tho scene of many an exciting event ot the early days running the gamut from religious meetings to murders, was declared to be unsafe at noon yesterday and tho twenty odd families now liviug there were ordered out so suddenly that they were not even allowed to take any of their furniture with them. The building, which Is now a five story frame double tenement house, at 14 to 16 Catherine Slip.
