Leaving the Flatbush border warfare to the hands of its inspectors and car crews the officials of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company started court proceedings to upset the second fare order. Counsel for the company secured a writ of certiorari for a review. of the commission's decision and order by the Appellate Division in Manhattan.

The writ was secured from Supreme Court Justice Delehanty and gives commission 20 days within which While its argued answer. before Teh the matter Appellate then Division. This method of review promises to take at least a month before any court decision as to the validity of the commission's order can be obtained. The company in its application for the writ attacked the decision of the commission as erroneous and in violation of the provisions of the Public Service Commission Law and the Railroad Law. "Copies of the writ have been served on the commission.

Mayor Hylan injected himself into the situation today by instructing Corportion Counsel William P. Burr to use "every possible legal means to protect the people' against the attempt of the traction company to force the payment of the extra fares. In a letter to Corporation Counsel he highly compliments that official on the "victory won by the city over the tratcion interests." The Mayor alludes to the fare riots as being due to an effort of the company to "gouge an additional fare out of the traveling public," and expresses the opinion that the court will sustain the order of the Public Service Commission directing the Brooklyn City Railroad Company to charge but one fare on the Flatbush ave.

24-Telegrams received by the Serbian bureau at Berne from Belgrade, Zara and Spalato convey the impression that only prompt interference by the Allies can prevent war over the Adriatic situation, as the Jugoslavs are said to have lost patience and to be ready to fight the Italians. "We are astonished that the Peace Conference permits our people to endure constant Italian persecutions," says one Belgrade paper received here. "Our peaceful attitude is praiseworthy, when we might throw d'Annunzio and his filibusters into the sea." Another newspaper accuses Italy of desiring to blockade Jugoslavia's exports and imports, and thus "strangle her." A third repeats recent reports that a reign of terror prevails in Zara, that everybody must wear a brassard inscribed: "Italy or Death," or be badly treated, and that Slavs are afraid to leave their houses. Paris, Nov. 24-Dispatches confiming reports from Geneva that the situation along the eastern shore of the Adriatic is critical are issued by the Jugoslav Bureau here.

The bureau says the Jugoslav Government has asked its ministers at Paris, London and Washington to draw the attention of those governments to the dangerous situation arising from D'Annunzio's raids and those he is reported about to make. Nitti Still Opimistic. this matter. No New Orders to Andrews. Rome, Monday, Nov.

24-Peter A. Jay, American Charge d'Affaires, had a long interview with Premier Nitti today. Neither the Premier nor the American Embassy would make any statement relative to the subjects discussed, but it was indicated that Mr. Jay received a favorable impression from the outline Premier Nitti gave of the Italian situation. After his talk with Mr.

Jay, the Premier had an hour's audience with King Victor Emmanuel. safely; falve election for has discontent proved and too political be a excitement, and it now appears obvious that the faction urging an upheaval is an insignificant minority of the nation. Socialists, who at first were so overcome with joy over their victory that they were uncertain what to do in order to utilize in the best way their numerical strength in the new Chamber, are listening to the advice of older and more moderate members of their party. It seems these older statesmen will succeed in moderating the situation so that no serious trouble may occur. It seems that the only really painful thorn in the side of the government is the Adriatic question, and efforts are being made to gain American support of proposals looking to a set- Washington, Nov.

25-No new instructions been sent to Rear Admiral Andrews at Spalato regarding the attitude he is to take in the event of an effort by the D'Annunzin forces to expand their control over Dalmatian territory, Secretary Daniels said today. Under Secretary Frank L. Polk of the State Department, head of the American Peace delegation at Paris, conferred yesterday in London with Rear Admiral Knapp, commanding all American Naval forces in European waters, regarding the situation on the eastern shore of the Adriatic, where Admiral Andrews commands American ships assigned to the patrol of a part of the Dalmatian coast under an agreement reached in Paris. Reports that D'Annunzio contemplated a raid on Spalato, the American naval base, led to the London conference, but Mr. Daniels indicated that the official on -the spot had not recommended any action in anticipation of such a raid.

Admiral Andrews has a fleet of 12 craft with a total personnel of 1,480 officers and men. His flagship is the second class cruiser Galveston, and in the fleet are the gunboat Sacramento, eight destroyers and two submarine chasers. CARNEGIE PROFESSORS CANNOT BUY EGGS NOW Pittsburg, Nov. 25-Carnegie Institute of Technology professors are so poorly paid that some of them are unable to have eggs for breakfast and at least one of them is unable to buy himself a badly needed pair of shoes. These statements are said to have been made yesterday at a meeting of the general factulty and made public today when resolutions asking the trustees to revise the salary schedule were sent to the trustees.

Almost 200 members of the faculty listened to the speakers, one of whom, Prof. Nathanson of the scientific school, pointed out that night as well as day classes demanded their attention, yet their salaries did not in many cases equal those of professors working in universities where only day classes were taught. Irate Crowds Storm Cars In Riots Over 2nd Fares; Fists Fly; Arrests Follow Police reserves and detectives from three precincts were called upon last night to quell the riotous scenes at second fare point of the Flatbush ave. line, and during the evening six arrests were made. Capt.

Michael ave. station found the going too strong for his squad of Kelly of the Snyder policemen and turned in a call for the reserves of two other precincts, the Parkville and Vanderveer stations responding in a hurry. At one time the crowd grew to over 1,000, and as each southbound car would approach Foster ave. it was the signal for a wild demonstration on the part of the mob assembled on the sidewalks and in the middle of the street. Flatbush and Flatlands residents refused to accept the refund? slip offered by the conductors and instead elected to fight against being hurled from the cars.

There were 16 inspectors on hand to carry out the orders of Supt. Morton C. Cornell of the Flatbush depot, and while only six arrests were made there were many other men who were thrown from the cars who refused to make an arrest and who were satisfied to take a chance on recovering damages in a civil suit. Car Allowed to Proceed. one stage the proceedings last night a crowd of about 50 took possession of a car at Tilden ave.

and, after paying their first fare, refused to pay again at Foster ave. The inspectors took one look at the threatening faces of the crowd in the car and decided to allow the car to proceed. Three times during the evening this same occurrence took place and in each instance the car load of passengers was turned off at Farragut rd. and the crowd dumped out on the sidewalk. Twice the crowd elected to board cars returning in the opposite direction, and when the cars reached Foster ave.

southbound, another riotous scene was in order. Whenever a carload came into Foster ave. and appeared that there were too many car who had refused to pay Cornell ordered the car to proceed without the extra fares. Police Inspector Samuel McElroy prevented a lot of serious trouble by crdering the cars to proceed when the number of passengers who had refused to pay a second fare looked too big. In all instances the inspectors made strenuous efforts to force the passengers to pay another fare, but the threatening attitude of the mob on the sidewalks and those in the cars won out over the efforts of the inspectors.

During the disorder poles were pulled from the wires and crowds piled on the cars in an effort to prevent the inspectors from ejecting the passengers. Policemen, inspectors and citizens were struck by flying fists during the worst mixup ofthe evening at just 7 o'clock. At this time a full car load, going south, reached Foster and all on board refused to pay another fare. Inspectors boarded the car and were roughly treated while they attempted to eject some of the passengers. Crowd Reinforces Passengers.

The crowd broke through the police lines and pushed against the struggling inspectors on the platform of the car. Cries for help from the car were instantly heeded by those outside the car and it was with great difto get Ambrose A Andrer of 125 Amersficulty that five inspectors managed fort pl. from the car. Mr. Andrer immediately arrested Inspector John Cavanaugh of 1571 Flatbush ave.

and brought the latter to the Snyder ave. station. Arrests followed in rapid succession after this through the urging of the crowd that passengers thrown from the cars make an arrest. Starter Robert Comiskey of 1999 Flatbush ave. was arrested by Herman Speth of 1290 Nostrand ave.

and immediately following this Inspector Michael J. Buckley of 3315 Avenue I arrested Lewis McBride, 19 years old, of 635 East 23d st. Inspector Buckley had only just returned from the Snyder ave. station himself, where he had been taken by Louis G. Niemann of 1052 East 38th st.

after the latter had been forcibly ejected by Buckley. Buckley had just Blind, Hands and Two Ribs Gone, British Sergeant Declares He Is Happy London. Nov. 14-Sgt.

BROTHERS CONFESS SAME MURDER, EACH TO SAVE THE OTHER Joseph and Harry McFaul Both Said They Slew Fitzgerald. Trial Before Cropsey. Two brothers told a jury before Justice Cropsey in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court today that each had confessed to the killing of John Fitzgerald to save the other from clutches of the law. It was at the trial of Joseph McFaul, 27, of Chapel that his younger brother, Harry, 24, testified that it was he who killed Fitzgerald and that Joe had nothing to do with it and was even unaware that he had a pistol with him or that he had a score to settle with the man he later slew.

John Fitzgerald, 18, who lived on Carlton was shot and killed in front of a poolroom near his home on May 27. Harry McFaul pleaded guilty to manslaughter before Justice Cropsey last and was sentenced to Sing Sing for 15 years. Joseph pleaded not guilty and was placed on trial for his life. Witnesses called by State's Attorney Everett Caldwell testified that both Harry and Joe McFaul came up to Fitzgerald who was sitting with a number of companions and that both of them shot him without warning. Joe was today confronted with a statement he made after the arrest of self and his brother, in which he stated that he did the shooting.

Harry came down from his Sing Sing cell and on the witness stand took all the blame for the shooting. He said that Fitzgerald had threatened George Glassy, his friend, and that he had announced that Fitzgerald would have to hurt the both of them. For this, Harry told the jury, word was passed to him that Fitzgerald intended to "croak" him. And, when Harry was summoned out of a saloon by one of Fitzgerald's friends and led over to where Fitzgerald was with an array of huskies like himself, he drew his automatic pistol and shot Fitzgerald. Joe remained in the saloon, Harry said, when the summons came to face Fitzgerald.

I Joe told the jury that he told the District Attorney he did the shooting to save his brother Harry, although he did not have part in it and did not know until afterward that his brother and Fitzgerald were gunning for each other. Aside from the threat said to have been made by Fitzgerald against Hurry's friend, Glassy, the reason for the shooting was not made clear. The case was given to the jury at 1 o'clock this afternoon. COURT WILL NOT LIFT LIEN ON MAYO HOUSE "Much Married Man" Fails to Free Property From Attachment for $100,000 Judgment. Virginius St.

Julian Mayo, described in court papers as the most married man in the United States, today made application through his attorney, J. Sidney Bernstein, to Justice Manning in Supreme Court, asking that a lis pendens be lifted from a house at 546 4th which has been attached as part security the $100,000 judgment obtained against him by Wilhelmina Meyer, one of his wives, for the fraud and deceit that he practiced upon her by going through a marriage ceremony with her when 'he had another wife and a lot of children living in Pennsylvania. Mayo owned the 4th st. house and transferred it to Lois Dudley- Waterbury, who lived in it for a time. Mrs.

Meyer-Mayo alleged that the property was transferred to defraud her out of collecting her judgment and placed a lis pendens on it in an action against Mayo and Lois Waterbury to have the transfer set aside. Mayo's lawyer said the property was given to Lois Waterbury for a real consideration and not through any desire to defraud Mrs. Meyer. This woman, Mr. Bernstein said, had a contract to sell the house, and could not dispose of it because of the lie pendens.

Justice Manning said he would release the property, if the defendants would give as security in its place, but Mr. Bernstein declined to adopt this suggestion. Justice Manning said he not vacate the lis pendens and directed that the action be noticed for trial in the equity term at once and tried when reached. Mrs. Waterbury, according to the papers filed with Justice Manning, is Mayo's latest wife, having been married to him March 18; 1918: It was prior to the marriage that the property was transferred to her.

Mrs. Wilhelmina Meyer lived with Mayo for 11 years, until the suicide of Lillian Cook, a stenographer in his New Haven radiator factory, revealed his matrimonial entanglements.

Daniel O'Connor, former secretary of the Flatlands Board of Trade, asked for the arrest of the conductor of the car upon which he had ridden to Foster but the doors of the hobble car were shut and O'Connor was carried through without getting any action. A crowded north-bound car came to Foster ave. at 6:30 p.m., and after a half-hearted attempt to get the fares the car was ordered on its way without the passengers paying.

Later in the evening another car, bound in the same direction, was sent through without the conductor obtaining his fares. Many women got into the fight last night and stubbornly refused to pay another fare. Every woman was allowed to proceed without molestation. Passengers Sent for Refreshments. Shortly after 7 o'clock a car bound for Avenue and carrying among other passengers 22 young men, was sidetracked just below Nostrand ave.

because, the conductor explained, two of the young men had not paid their second fare. The other men showed rethe fund slips slips were but the issued car crew declared yesterday ing. The young men declared they had paid two fares last night and had received the refund slips from their own conductor. Insisting on going through to Avenue the young men settled back in their seats and prepared to make a night of it. When it became apparent that the motorman and conductor did not intend to take the car to the depot the young men sent a friend to a nearby bakery for doughnuts and an improhmptu supper was served on the car.

About 11:30 eight inspectors boarded the car and after a half hour's battle ejected Thomas McGee of 3414 Farragut rd; Herman Knaup of 1086 E. 42d and Edward Brandi of 1102 E. 38th st.

Two men, father and son, refused to pay a second fare and showed a written injunction from the Public Servlice Commission giving them the right to ride through for one fare.

At first the car was sidetracked at Farragut but after a consultation of inspectors it was decided to swing the car back on the Flatbush tracks and take the pair to their destination.

McKEOWN TO HEAD FIGHT ON BROWNED Friends of Late Assemblyman's Son Threaten Trouble to 1st A. D. Leader. Superintendent of Sewers James J. Browne is facing a fight on his leadership of the Democrats in the 1st A.

D. in the coming spring primaries at the hands of Lt. John McKeown, son of the late Assemblyman McKeown. Whether young McKeown will make the race for leader or advise his friends to get behind another candidate has not been determined but the McKeown adherents are actively girding themselves for the expected fray. The trouble had its roots in the failure of McKeown to land the clerkship of the First District Municipal Court left vacant by the death of his father.

Young McKeown was an active aspirant for the place and had the support of many groups of the younger Democrats. Browne followed the advice of his captains and gave the place to Daniel McGonigle, one of their number. Resentment among McKeown's friends threatened for a time to cause an immediate split in the district but the arouble was patched up over election and McKeown was given a promise that he would be placed elsewhere. The trouble broke out again, however, when McKeown was offered a temporary appointment as an auditor at $2,400 in the new Income Tax Burenu of the State Controller's office and turned it down. Has Faith in Assistant Prosecutor Morris- Young Woman Neighbor a New Witness.

William Lemke, father of John W. Lemke, the Flushing youth into whose strange death aboard his motorboat off College Point, L. District Attorney Denis O'Leary of Queens is now delving, announced today outside the room in the District Attorney's office at Long Island City, where inquiry is taking place, that he will absolutely abide by the decision reached by Assistant District Attorney William J. Morris, representing Mr. O'Leary in the investigation.

"If the verdict of suicide is brought out of the inquiry, I will accept it." said the dead youth's father. "I believe that Mr. Morris is a fair-minded, conscientious, proficient and able prosecutor. I know that any decision he reaches will be the result of careful deliberation." Mildred Lemke Recalled. Mildred Lemke, the pretty 18-yearold sister of the dead youth, was recalled today to give supplemental testimony concerning the letter she wrote to her brother twitting him about having a woman's purple veil in his possession, the letter which was found aboard the motorboat.

She gave a "detailed explanation," it was 'announced, but whether her explanation was satisfactory or not could not be learned. A. Richland of 63 Main Max Abramson of 101 Main st, Flushing merchants dealing in women's apparel, were called as witnesses. About the only purpose their testimony served, it was said, was to show that it was not uncommon for men to buy women's clothing and women to buy men's clothing of the most private nature. Miss Annie Butler, a neighbor of the Lemkes, who was produced by Mr.

Lemke to show that his son was a normal youth, was a surprise. It was the first time her name got into the case. It is supposed she kept company with the dead youth. What she testified to was not disclosed. OBITUARY See also Death Notices, last page.
