RESTAURANT A LA CARTE. "UNAVOIDABLE" SAYS FRANK HEDLEY Interborough Manager Calls It Worst in History of Subway. TELLS HOW FIRE STARTED. Official Hopes Operation of Trains Can Be Resumed by 4 P.M. The official statement of the Interborough on the cause and of the subway fire was given results, afternoon by General Manager Frank Hedley.

"About 8:10 this morning a short circuit was established on the cables in the manholes at Fifty-third street. These manholes are on either side of subway, and the cables in them come from the sub-station on Fiftythird street, east of Eighth avenue. An examination of two manholes chows that practically all the cables had been short-circuited and destroyed. These short-circuits made a tremendous arc and created considprable gases and smoke from the burning insulation and the molten metal. This short circuit automatically tripped circuit breakers in the substation, which cut off the power.

This automatically took power away from the third rail and the trains stopped and are standing in the same places still." Mr. Hedley said he hoped the road would be in operation by 4 o'clock this afternoon. All of his available forces are at work repairing the system. He was asked why no alarm was sent in until 9 o'clock. "Nobody knew there was a fire," he replied.

"They knew there was a short circuit. This is common, but the short circuit enlarged itself and threw gases Into the subway." Mr. Hedley was told of statements by passengers that guards had tried to hold them in the cars, and he said he could not discuss this. He was asked if there was a chance of a repetition of such an accident, and he said he did not know of anything that could have avoided it, as, wherever there electricity there is a possibility of a short circuit. Short circuits are common enough, he said, but this one was unusually heavy.

Mr. Hedley was asked whether the fire could extend to the cars, and he said he could not until further investigation. He thought the fire could have been confined to the manholes, however. He said that in his opinion today's accident was the worst In the history of the subway. LAUDS FIREMEN FOR SAVING MANY LIVES Commissioner Adamson Cites Bravery of His Men in Subway Blaze.

Fire Commissioner Adamson issued a statement this afternoon as to the part which the Fire Department played in the subway accident. Chief Kenlon reported to the Commissioner, never during his experience, as a fireman, did he face a more difficult or serious situation. In his statement Commissioner Adamson said: "The fire occurred in two cable manholes in the subway on the south side of Fifty-third street, at Broadway, It was undoubtedly caused by a short circuit. If the fire had occurred in the subway at a point where there was outlet the smoke and gases would of undoubtedly the have asphyxiated many more passengers. "Fortunately the two south bound trains, on which most of the asphyxiated persons persons were passengers, stopped about three 01 four lengths north of the point where the fire occurred.

Had the cars stopped opposite the fire, the consequente would undoubtedly have been much more serious. None of the cars were burned in any way. The situation which the Fire Department had to face was the most serious of all its experience. Chief Kenlon informed me that he had never during his service as a fireman faced a situation so serious and difficult. The firemen had to go into the subway by ladders placed in the narrow openings and through a dense and choking smoke.

They were overcome by the dozens and had to be brought out by their comrades. Men were sent into the subway in relays and worked with the greatest courage and energy until they were overcome and had to be relieved. They brought out many passengers who were limp and unconscious and some of the firemen upon reaching the street collapsed from the smoke and exertion. Under circumstances of exceeding difficulty every fireman performed his duty with the greatest courage and bravery. But for their prompt work there could be no telling how serious the fire might have been.

"I went into the subway and through the local train which was stopped at 53d street and Broadway. The floors were litered with clothing, purses and all kinds of personal belongings, which I ordered gathered and turned over to the police. The windows in a great many of the cars were broken, evidently by the passengers in their panic. So far as I could learn, no person was actually injured, except by being overcome by smoke. Of course, until all of the reports are received, it will be impossible to tell the cause of the fire or to say whether it was due to carelessness." SCHNITZSPAN IN ALBANY.

T. System Unequal to Emergency---Had All Its Rolling Stock in Use. More than 50.000 0.000 persons were held up while on their way to work from or through Brooklyn as a result of the tie-up. The agents here stopped selling ticketson immediately after the extinguishing of the lights indicated the failure of the power. To those who had alreay passed by the ticket boxes as several stations and to the occupants the one train load of passengers caught in the subway in Brooklyn--a New York-bound train that fortunately stopped opposite the Borough Hall station tickets, good for twenty-four hours, were given.

The effect of the subway accident was felt immediately by the B. R. although the general rush for the surface cars over the bridge was not well started until the majority of the would-be subway passengers had waited for about twenty minutes in the hope that trains would start again. B. R.

T. Unable to Put on Extra Cars. ouThe B. R. of the accident therefore, to did its not various send elevated stations and surface inspectors until 8:40, by which time all of the surface loop cars were being sent directly over the bridge to New York, as well as the elevated trains that usually unload at the bridge.

The B. R. T. could not put on any additional cars to meet the emergency, all of its rolling stock being in commission to carry the morning rush. An hour and a half after the discontinuance of the service the anxious parents of a number of young women and girls usually travel by the subway, but had not by then rewho, ported at their places of employment, were making inquiries of the stationmaster of the Borough Hall station for word of their missing loved ones.

Most of those making inquiries hurried away and refused to stop to give their names, but among those who did not refuse was Joseph Collra of 54 Butler street, whose daughters, Marietta and Josephine, started for their work from the Borough Hall station shortly after 8 o'clock. The former, 25 years old, is a forewoman employed by the Lane-Bryant Company in Thirty-eighth street, near Fifth avenue, Manhattan, her sister. also being employed there. They had not reported for work by 9:45 and their father, who goes to business on Staten Island, delayed going there until he could obtain word of their safety. Tremendous Crush at Atlantic Avenue Subway Station.

It is estimated that 30,000 people an hour crush into the subway station from the Long Island Railroad, trolleys and elevated trains during the morning rush hour, the trains being sent out, between 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock, under headway of one and a half minutes. Each train carries about 1,200 passengers. It was calculated that at this station alone 40,000 people were diverted to other lines of traffic in order to reach their work. About 6,000 of the 10,000 people that usually take subway at the Borough Hall rush hour were afthe fected. several hundred gers in the stalled train at the platform there remained patiently in their seats standing until 9:30 o'clock in the hope that the service would be continued.

Adding to the confusion and delay of the traffic situation was a mishap to the trolley pole of a Putnam avenue car just as it was about to enter loop line on the Manhattan side of the bridge. It blocked the bridge traffic for six minutes. Conditions at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge presented a problem to the police reserves from the Oak and Elizabeth street stations, who, however, kept the crowd in order. Thousands of persons whose destination was north of Canal street, who generally rely on the subway, came via the bridge and jammed the Fourth and Madison avenues, Broadway and Third avenue surface cars and the Third and Sixth avenue elevated lines. Commuters living on Long Island were told by the conductors of the Long Island Railroad trains, after leaving Jamaica, that the subway was tied up and they left the trains at the Nostrand avenue station and walked a block to Fulton street elevated line.

Tieup on Elevated Adds to the Confusion. This line, together with the four lines operating over the Fifth avenue division of the elevated system, were filled beyond their capacity and a tieup ensued. Great congestion occurred at the Nevins and Hoyt street stations of the subway when these crowds attempted to enter the underground system, and upon learning of the tieup there turned their attention to the elevated and surface car systems. The Manhattan Bridge Three Cent line was taxed greatly also, but kept to its schedule with extra cars. Wild Throng at Brooklyn Bridge Subway Station.

During the titation the Brooklyn Bridge subway was a scene of a wild mob fifteen minutes after the trains stopped running. On account of the slow headway of the elevated trains and surface cars across the bridge, due to the fog, more than the usual number of people crowded to the subway station. The main stairway under the bridge leading to the subway was filled with a mass of choking and humanity and the police of traffic for a time could not cope with the crush. Men and women wedged toRether until they choked the stairway, and for fifty minutes the policemen bucked this mass of perspiring and struggling humanity. Some semblance or order made out of this chaos by that time, and all those on their way up to street were filtered out of the tube, and none were allowed to enter.

A traffic officer stationed at the Bridge for twenty-two years said he had never seen anything like the mob athat interlocked there this morning.

TATUM ON STAND BAFFLES LAWYER Defendent in Divorce Action, Calm and Gives Shrewd Answers. DENIES ALLEGED MISCONDUCT. Says Wealthy Husband Was Good to Her, and that She Doesn't Want Divorce.

(Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. I. January 6-When Mrs. Mary Jane Tatum the witness stand today after testifying in her own behalf divorce brought by her husband, John C. Tatum, it was apparent that she had the sympathy of the entire court room.

Although a mass of awkward circumstances connecting her with Jack Ottman was arrayed against her, she gamely give an 1 explanation for each incident. She emphatically denied any misconduct with Ottman and asserted with an air of sincerity that he was merely a friend. In the contest of wits with the opposing counsel, Terence McManus, who is seeking to establish the fact that she violated her marriage vows, she clearly had the better of the contest, and Justice Crane was forced to caution the counsel not to argue with Mrs. 1 Tatum. She made a remarkable appearance on the stand.

Self-composed and refined, she answered the most direct, disconcerting personal questions with absolute composure. There was only one time lost her selfpossession, and that was when she denied that she desired to secure a divorce and marry Ottman. "I do not want a divorce. Mr. Tatum was very lovely to me.

I do not want to be apart from him. I have no reason for getting a divorce." She reiterated again and again that she bad no reason for asking for a divorce, and this despite the fact that she charges her husband with misconduct with Mrs. Nellie A. Chalmers. There was only one time when she became confused, and that was when she was forced to admit that prior to the commencement of the divorce 80- tion her husband had given her $1,000 a month as an allowance.

Despite this incident it was the opinion of the spectators that Mrs. Tatum had built up a strong defense. During the morning she lent the only touch of color to the courtroom. Attractively gowned she appeared in still another costume this morning. Not SO good an impression was made by the co-respondent, Jacob A.

Ottman. While he denied, emphatically, any misconduct with Mrs. Tatum in his direct examination, counsel for Tatum made him make some damaging admissions, particularly as to his interest in Mrs. Tatum. Justice Crane at one period of the proceedings asked a number of questions, which plainly disconcerted him.

He was forced to admit that, upon leaving the Roslyn home of Mrs. Tatum, he drove her to a Manhattan hotel and that he was assigned a suite adjoining that of Mrs. Tatum. He was also forced to admit that some of Mrs. Tatum's baggage was in his room at this hotel, a and the only reason he could give for this was the fact that the bellboy of the hotel had placed it there.

Mrs. Tatum's Wit a Match for Lawyer. The cross- of Mrs. Tatum was resumed Counsel McManus when the divorce suit was begun this morning. Mrs.

Tatum, who had been subjected to a vigorous and searching examination the greater part of yesterday afternoon, was apparently little the worse for her experience. When her name was called she walked quickly to the witness stand and began to parry the questions of the counsel who was seeking to secure from her damaging admissions. Attired in a black clinging velvet gown, Mr. Tatum was self-contained and was more than a match for her husband's lawyer. She admitted that she and Jack Ottman had adjoining rooms at the Empire Hotel, Manhattan, but added that Phillip Ottman, the brother of the alleged co-respondent, was also there.

Mrs. Tatum, in response to questions of counsel, admitted that after she had left the Em- Ladles of Honor, and of the Wittelsback K. U. Verein. Funeral services will be held at his late residence at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Interment following In Evergreens Cemetery.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may de obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kid neys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.

Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes lemon juice, combined with lithia, and and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everyone take now and then to keep the should kidneys clean and active.

The witness admitted that as late as December, long after the suit was brought, she had dined with Ottman. "I did not go to Rector's with Ottman in December. I lived at the Astor at the time I dined with Ottman, in December, but I had to leave there, as there were SO many detectives in the lobby watching and following me that I had to go to a friend's house on Ninety-second street." This answer was given by the defendant to show why she left the Astor and that she was not accompanied to the Ninety-second street house by Ottman.

"Didn't Tell Witnesses to Lie." At the conclusion of her cross-examination she was again examined by her counsel, Mr. Steuer. In answer to his questions she said: "I never told Cora Slade and Ethel Bellamy to lie for me. I never told them to make any statements of any kind. I never told them to say Ottman had never slept in the house and I certainly did not tell Mrs.

Elizabeth Simons that I wanted to get a divorce and marry Ottman. I am not asking for a divorce. I am perfectly happy without a divorce and I have no reason for a divorce." This concluded Mrs. Tatum'8 examination, and she was followed by Frederick C. Niblo, clerk of the St.

George Hotel, Brooklyn, who testifled that John C. Tatum, the plaintiff, occupied a siute there from November 8 until the middle of December, 1913. Mrs. Chalmers came to the hotel on October 6, 1913, and she was Joined by her husband on November 5, three days before Tatum came to the hotel. Jacob A.

Ottman was the next witness called. He absolutely denied any improper conduct with Mrs. Tatum. He denied emphatically the bathroom episode, so graphically told by McFarland, who was formerly employed as a chauffeur. He also denied ever kissing Mrs.

Tatum. On cross-examination he said he was introduced to Mrs. Tatum in June, 1913, by Mrs. Chalmers. Justice Crane began to examine the witness at this point and made the witness admit that Mrs.

Tatum knew him before she met his father and mother. He admitted that he was on a ship that sailed from New York for Nova Scotia. Mrs. Tatum, accompanied by Miss Chalmers, the daughter of Mrs. Chalmers, was also on this ship.

"It was a mere coincidence that I was on this trip. I did not know previously that she intended to make this trip. My name appeared on the cabin list as but this was a typographical error." The witness in attempting to explain his reason for renting the Central Park West apartment said that he desired to have a card club there. "I decided to give up the apartment and rented it to Mrs. Tatum, who had become ill.

I agreed with her to let her have it for the same rent I paid. I gave her 110 receipt. She gave cash. I did not deposit the cash in the bank. Ottman admitted in answer to Justice Crane's question that some of Mrs.

Tatum's baggage was in his room at the Empire. He also admitted that McFarland, who worked for Mrs. Tatum at Roslyn in the afternoons, was paid by the Ottman provision firm. "I have seen Mrs. Tatum since the divorce action was begun," Ottman admitted.

Mrs. Nellie A. Chalmers of 919 East Tenth street, Brooklyn, who is named by Mrs. Tatum as being responsible for her marital troubles, was called by the defense at the opening of the afternoon session. In September, 1913, she admitted that she had a deposit in the Mutual Bank.
