As to the subject of transfers, the pet.tion makes the following statement: "The tariffs eliminate many transterr between surface lines and practically all transfers between surface lines and elevated or subway lines. The extensive use of transfer privlleges has greatly cheapened fares, materially increased operating expenses, opened the door to frauds upon revenue, and has produced comfort in transit to the extent that people with transfers crowd into cars to save a few blocks of walk. They have been granted too liberally in times of normal operation; they should be the first privileges orestrict In times of abnormally difficult and expensive operation. With them the average fare on your petitioners lines during the year ending June 30 last was only 3.27 cents. If the abuses which come with the use of transfers could be eliminated their use would not be so objectionable, for they concededly, by cheapening the fare, stimalate traflic.

But these abuses seem unavoidable when transfers are freely offered, and they have become, particularly in these times, a menace both to the public and to the companies. Their elimination would, in the judgment of your petitioners, be a just, Immediate and desirable, even though Incomplete, remedy for operating and financial deficiencies which now prevail."

MUMBY DIES IN 91ST YEAR Had a Grain Business in the Old Eagle Building and Read The Eagle Over Seventy Years.

to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. September 10-The funeral of Joseph Hamilton Mumby of. Baldwin, L. was held yesterday, with interment in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. The Rev.

R. H. Scott of Freeport officiated at the services. Mr. Mumby died at his home last Friday.

He was in his 91st year, and up to the last day of his life he kept in touch with the world and its affairs through the pages of The Eagie. Twelve hours before he died he asked his daughter to read The Eagle war news to him. Mr. Mumby was proud of the fact that he had lived through three wars and hoped see this country and its Allies victorious in the present war. He was a veteran of the Civil War and was a quartermaster in the 13th Brooklyn, during the war, and was on the staff of Gen.

Butler at New Orleans. In 1849 he joined the of gold seekers who flocked to California in search of wealth. Mr. Mumby was born September 18, 1828, at Georgetown, Washington, D. and lived formerly for many years in Willow street, Brooklyn.

He served for ten years as an assessor in the old City of Brooklyn. He moved to Baldwin about twenty-five yea's ago, where he developed large property holdings. He was active in civic and political affairs of his community and was a Democrat. He retained his faculties up to the last and remarked to his daughter Thursday evening when she had read The Eagle to him that he had lived through the Mexican War, the Civil War and the Spanish- American War, had seen America come through victoriously in all three, and from recent news of the present war it looked as though America was going to "whip the stuffing out of the Huns," and he hoped he would live long enough to see the finish. He is survived by his daughters, Anna Mumby and Mrs.

D. W. Pardee of. Islip, and a grandson who is a lieutenant in the U. S.

Army. Mr. Mumby's parents moved from Washington to Mott street, in old New York City, when he was a small child. While he was still a youngster his father, Robert Mumby, moved over to Brooklyn to be near the cracker factory which he conducted back of the old Brooklyn Eagle Building in lower Fulton street, near Fulton Ferry. After his father sold out the business, Hunter Manley opened a distillery in the cracker factory.

Mumby's father, with Abbott Low, founded the First Unitarian Church at Pierrepont street and Monroe place, and the first pastor was the Rev. Frederick A. Farley, who also officiated at the elder Mumby's funeral. Joseph H. Mumby conducted a flour, grain and feed business in the building occupied by The Brooklyn Eagle, but when soon after occupying the building The Eagle needed more room for its increasing plant Mr.

Mumby moved his place of business to the corner of Columbia Heights and Fulton street. When Mr. Mumby joined in the gold fever rush to California he went by way of Mexico, and from Vera Cruz rode horseback all the way across Mexico at a time when necessarily cautious, owing to the position of La Petite Montagne, which is the highest point commanding in that region. The French and ican artillery bombarded this mountain, where the Germans had built strong emplacements for heavy machine guns, and also kept up a continuous fire upon all points, where the German artillery had been endeavoring to hold back the advancing infantry. During the day the Germans threw shells into Fismes, Bazoches, Blanzy and other places in an effort to cheek the Allied troop movement.

There was a strong direct and indirect tire from La Petite Montagne. The machine gunners blazed away, but the American detachments made headway at inI tervals by keeping under any possible cover and not attempting to go ahead in large numbers. American officers say indications are that the Germans intend to cling to every foot of ground south of the Aisne as long as possible, using machine guns until the gunners are blasted from the positions. The principal resistance with which the Americans had to contend came from the region of La Petite Montagne, northeast of Revillon, where observers reported there were from thirty to forty machine gun nests entrenched on the summit of the hill. On the other the south of the Aisne the machine gunners had taken positions, and, with snipers at various points, caused some annoyance.

Lusk of Iowa was killed August 22 by the same shell which killed Captain Belvidere Brooks of New York as they were standing at the en' trance to a cave on the Vesle front. the Mexicans were very hostile to Americans. He landed in San Francisco when the gold fever was at its height, and conducted a trading post there for some years, but came back to Brooklyn in 1852, when Sands, Concord and Tillary streets were the fashionable thoroughfare of the city. Mr.

Mumby was fond of recalling in his later years that he saw the first rail laid for the old Brooklyn City Railroad, the horsecar line that was the forerunner of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, and that the first line of tracks was extended up Fulton street from the Fulton Ferry only as far as Smith street, but a few years later were extended out into the "farming now known as South Brooklyn. He often told of the alarm among the members of Plymouth Church when a large market was started on lower Fulton street and was rapidly extended up toward the church. The opposition to the 80- called invasion of the market was so great that the enterprise was finally removed over in the direction of Wallabout. KEATING MAY RUN INDEPENDENT TICKET Dowling Consents to Be Candidate for Supreme Court. Hicks for County Clerk.

Dr. Arthur Keating, anti-Connolly leader in the ranks of Queens County, friends are Democratic, planning to run an independent ticket at the November election. The scheme was discussed at a session of the Keating leaders in Long Island City last night, and an announcement was expected some time today. The proposal was to run George J. S.

Dowling for the Supreme Court throughout the Second Judicial District, which includes Brooklyn, and nominate a complete ticket in Queens except for Sheriff. James Hicks of Long Island City was discussed as the man to make the run for County Clerk of Queens, and candidates were to be put up for both Senatorships and the six places in the Assembly. Mr. Dowling, who ran unsuccessfully for one of the Democratic nominations for Supreme Court, is said to have given his consent to run on the Keating ticket. Dowling polled about 40,000 votes at the came from Kings, 9,000 from Queens, 3.200 from Richmond and between 500 and 700 each from Suffolk and Nassau.

He carried only one of the counties in the judicial district-Richmond. Petitions for independent nominaitons must be filed by midnight Thursday, so that if Keating carries out his plans he has only two days to get signatures. It was stated that Keating's plans contemplated the organization of a separate independent party to be known as the "Liberty Party," with a liberty bell as the emblem. APPRAISALS E.

"Solovei got permission to enlist," was at the office of Corporation Counsel Burr. "To do so he had to have the approval head of this department and of the Mayor. Since he received it he receives the benefit of the Fenner law and gets the difference between his pay in the Navy and his salary as head of the Brooklyn Bureau of Street Openings. His official status is that of Assistant Corporation Counsel absent on leave. He is actually classed as the head of the Street Opening Bureau in Prooklyn." Solovei was called in the draft months ago, but secured a ruling giving him deferred classification on the ground of dependent relatives.

This ruling was upset by the District Board last May and Solovei was placed in Class 1A. He secured permission from his local board in June to enlist and enlistment in the Navy followed in July. Until called into actual service, Solovei remained at his city post. He is now a clerk in the paymaster's office. In April of this year, Mayor Hylan announced officially that city workers could not enlist.

He refused permission to a number of teachers who wished to enlist and said that they seemed to think they could put their hands in the taxpayers pockets. The Mayor declined to comment on the stand that had been taken in Solovei's case. His secretary, Grover Whalen, said that each case had been considered on its merits and the fact that Solovei had dependents had been taken into consideration. It was stated by Mr. Whalen that the view at City Hall is that Solovel is really a drafted man.
