Big Hole Torn at Base of Railroad Pillar-Adantic Avenue Flooded. Lieutenant John Wood, sitting: at his desk in the Atlantic avenue police 3:15 o'clock this morning, happened to look out of the window and was startled to see a beavy col.umn of water shoot skyward with a roar. It had been a dull night, but suddenly the morning promised to be Interesting. Just about the same time Policeman Charles Schefferdecker bustled into the station to report that the big fortyeight-inch water main in Atlantic avenue, carrying water from the Catskille under great pressure, had broken and there was the mischief to pay. The enormous pressure proved too much for the pipe and the metal band parted as if it had been nothing but stiff cardboard.

How strong the force was which was seeking outlet may be gauged from the fact that though the pipe was eighteen feet underground the water bored through the earth in no time and dug a big hole eight feet by ten at the base of one of the iron pillars supporting the elevated structure on which the Long Island trains run. The pillar is on the Brooklynbound side. Lieutenant Wood did the only thing he could under the circumstances and had the switchboard man "plug in" 011 the Water Department's wire and notified the department that the palticular section of Atlantic avenue, opposite No. 1671 rapidly taking 0n1 the appearance of the Grand Canal of Venice. It was some time before there were mechanics on the ground who understood the art of dealing with a great broken main and in the meantime there was a mill race 011 the avenue.

Fortunately, no cellars were flooded, but the water grew deeper and deeper DEATHS -On Wednesday. April 18, 1917, JANE VAN COTT MORSE. wife of Richard Morse, daughter of the late Joshua Si. Van Cott. Funeral from her late residence.

As a result, commuters from Rich- mond Hill, Jamaica and other pointa were delayed getting to their offices. and hours after the break some of them had not yet arrived. The Water Department experts 1 laid the break to the great pressure of water piped down from the tains. LIEUT. C.

A. Herradora, president of the All America Chamber of Commerce, will also speak. Recruiting for Regular Army and Navy Increasing. That recruiting for the regular Army and Navy is steadily increasing is due, recruiting officers say, principally to the publicity the papers have given to the dire need for men in all branches of the service. Yesterday the Navy enlisted 27 men out of 111 applicants and the army 40 out of 112 applicants.

The daily average, as estimated by army and Navy officers in charge of Brooklyn recruiting, has been for the past three weeks, in the Navy 116 men a day and in the Army 14 a day. The average number of applicants has been between 76 and 80 a day. The Navy is going to open a new sub-recruiting station in the rooms of the Triangle Social Club at Thirtyseventh street and Thirteenth avenue, today and expects to get big results from that section of the city. Professor Joseph Bowden of Adelphi College, Miss Sylvia Loines of 3 Pierrepont street, and Miss Josephine Luebers of 1129 Dean street are all working every day to aid recruiting in this borough, Wolf Wanna, a full blooded Pueblo Indian, living at 233 Hemlock street, is the latest addition to the "aid recruiting ranks." He goes around the city every day in his auto urging young men to join the colors. ONE LABORER STILL MISSING IN CAVEIN Second Victim Believed Dead Under Mass of Debris -Search for His Body.

Until the mass of debris at the bottom of the subway excation at Hanson place and St. Felix street, where the collapse took place on Tuesday, is cleared away, it will not be known whether any one other than the Italian hopperman, who died in the ambulance, perished In the big slide. One Italian -Salvatore Failla. 52 Hester street, laborer, Manhattan--is missing. He was at first thought to be safe, but later it was reported that he had not appeared at his home.

The cause of the collapse is still the subject of investigation. When the debris has been removed permitting a thorough examination of the surroundings, the engineers will be better able to reconstruct the accident in their minds. The Public Service Commission's engineers have found no reason yet to change their original opinion that a slide of sand at a point near the wall of the Hanson Place M. E. Church was the beginning of the trouble.

It seems that the workmen became frightened and ran away when they might have checked the flow of sand with planking. The Commission's engineers laid emphasis on the fact that they had found absolutely 110 fault with the construction work put in by the Cranford Construction Company. The shoring and the sheathing were done with care and with an eye to the safety of the men. Today a gang of men was at work shoring up the sides of the structure and moving cautiously. There will be no digging in the debris until everything has been made perfectly secure.

This may take several days. At the engineer's office of the Public Service Commission it was said today that the front walls which fell from the two houses at 147 and 145 St. Felix street would be replaced. CHILDREN BITTEN BY DOGS. Two children in East New York were bitten by dogs today.

The great "kidnapping" mystery of Nostrand and Atlantic avenues has been dispelled. Remember that two Jamaica, women getting off a train Nostrand avenue in the dark of night, heard a woman scream, saw a man "drag" her into a taxicab and hurry away at great speed? Dastardly crime in the heart of a great city. Police not on the job. "Dreadful," to succinct language of the immortal Alfred Jingle.

Business of detectives hurrying here and there to find out which of the missing women of Brooklyn had been kidnapped. Perhaps the poisoned needie had been used preceding the kidnapping. Today the police were able to announce that they had plumbed the BROOKLYN'S ROLL enlistments OF were HONOR reported today: NAVY fermion C.

This action by the committee was indicated several days ago when Borough President Mathewson of the Bronx, its chairman, let it be known that he would not consent to rushing the through and expressed doubt city's financial ability to matters undertake the work at this time. He wants the whole matter threshed at an executive session of the Board of Estimate for the purpose of ascertaining where the money for the improvement is going to come from. All the other members of the committee, President Pounds, President Marks of Manhattan, Aldermanic President Dowling and President Connolly of Queens were in favor of adopting the proposition as submitted by the Public Service Commission, but were persuaded that a short delay would not kill the improvement, while, on the other hand, the Board of Estimate would have more time for a thorough consideration of the matter.

Chairman Mathewson's report says that the committee has not yet been enabled to take up in detail the communications from the Public Service Commission relating to the proposed transit improvements in Brooklyn. "The additional cost for construction and land for the Ashland place route would be $2,200,000," according to the report, "to be borne by the city, while the other changes (Adams street relocation and two new staions) would entail no less than $1,600,000 in addition." "The question arises as to whether the city can undertake any or all of these changes at the present time, and the committee believes that it should have the opinion of the Board before aking action. It will submit the matter to the Board in executive session, but as the time limit for the construction of the Ashland place connection will expire today (Friday), the committee recommends that. the route be not approved at this time, but such withholding of approval to be without prejudice to its resubmission by the Commission." TO PICK 3 ERASMUS BOYS FOR TOPICS BEE Candidates From There Narrowed to 8, Preparing for Final Tryout. The three members of the team which will represent Erasmus Hall at The Eagle Current Events Bee to be held Friday evening, April 27, at the Girls' High School, will be chosen next Tuesday.

There are now a squad of who are preparing for the final tryout, under the direction of George E. Boynton, head of the history department. These eight meet every afternoon in Mr. Boynton's office, and each of them brings with him ten new questions on current events. These eighty questions are answered by all the candidates.

Next Tuesday there will be a written quiz. The three making the best showing will form the school team. "Preparation for the contest started a month ago," said Mr. Boynton. "At that time, 350 who are doing current events history work were asked to prepare themselves.

Twenty volunteered for the contest. Twelve were afterward eliminated. I feel sure that the Erasmus team will be in fine trim by the night of Current Events Bee." Some of the questions recently submitted by the candidates are: "Name the countries of the Entente Allies and their capitals." "Name ten important places, including battlefields, in the European war." "Name the members of President Wilson's Cabinet who have resigned." "Name the British, French and Russian officers who will come to Washington to confer on the war." CYCLIST BADLY HURT.

FIRST "TRAILER" CAR MAKES DEBUT HERE ARMY Two Trolley Cars Hitched Together Operated on Flatbush Avenue. TO SOLVE TRAFFIC PROBLEM. B. R. T.

Officials Not Yet Ready to Comment on Success of Experiment. In an effort to find a solution of the problem created by congestion on the surface trolley lines in the crowded downtown districts during the rush hours, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit has inaugurated a series of experiments with "trailer" cars--two trolley cars hitched together and having one unit of operation, The first double car made its pearance on the Flatbush avenue line yesterday, and ralroad men who watched its operation found that in the congested downtown districts it saved considerable track space and carried as many persons as two single cars can that are required to maintain a certain distance between them for purposes of safety and traffic regulations. The motor car, at the front, was one of the B. R. convertible cars with all the seats facing forward, and the entrance at the rear.

The entrance had been remodelled, and had folding doors and a step that folded up, SO that no one could board the car until it came to a full stop, and the conductor pulled the lever. It was equipped with a pay-as-you-enter apparatus. The "trailer," hitched on behind, was one of the new center side door cars. It was attached to the other by coupling and air-brake and power connections SO that the motors and brakes of both cars were operated by one motorman. The conductor of the "trailer" signalled to the conductor of the motor trolley and conductor of the first car signalled to the motorman, just as is done in train operation on the elevated road.

Officials of railroad company declined to express any opinion as to the feasibility of this method, saying the experiment had not progressed sufficiently to enable them to make decision. PERSONAL.
