Adopt Plan for First Section. Tha board has already adopted tha route for tha first section a subway nndrr Fulton St.

to Hinsdale East New Tork. This is to be a four-track line. From East New Tork it will continue under Futton to Lafayette, turn on Lafayette, cross Flatbuah are. and. via reach Smith st.

Swinging north It will run through Smith and Jay to High and then Cranberry to tha entrance of the Fulton at. tube. That tube will be a two-track arrangement. Another outlet Into Manhattan from the Smith st. four-track line Is planed via Jay at.

In Brooklyn and Rutgers st. in Manhattan to hook Into the 8th ave. trunk In Manhattan. This provides the four-track route from East New Tork to 8th Manhattan. Northward in Manhattan.

Delaney lias laid out a four-track route under Sth now largely under contract or construction, with plans for either a two or four-track supplemental north and south line under sth ara, At Sid st. the loop line swings east and by tunnel passes under the East River to Long Island City. This Is the only two-track stretch now. laid down. From Long Island City to Jamaica a line is planned as a four-track route, principally under Queens blvd.

Jamaica and East New Tork. Between Jamaica and East- New Tork it is planned to use the two lines plus extensions. Each is now a two-track line and together they will provide a four-track Jamaica-Brooklyn connection. Each now connects with the Fulton st and from the Brooklyn boro line eastward are recaptursble. The Jamaica ave line now extends actually to Jamaica, while the Liberty ave.

line stops at Lefferts Juat south of Richmond Hill. The greater part of both these lines Is of modern construction, capable of carrying full-weight steel subway cars. It Is planned that the western ends at East New Tork be brought into the subway at some point west of the boro line, eventually. For the near future, consideration is given to their operation into the reconstructed Fulton st. as far downtown possibly as Nostrand depending on what operating agreement finally formed between the city and the B.

M. T. and on how long the city's credit available for subway construction lasts. The aim would be to make the entire line to East New Tork a subway, but this would be cut according to the funds at hand. Modified Crosstown Line.

A somewhat modified form of Brooklyn crosstown line has been laid out for consideration recently. The last former plan provided for the carrying of that line from Me-Carren Park southward across Brooklyn via Nostrand ave. as far as Eastern rarkway, with the- idea of con. nectlng It eventually with the Nostrand ave. I.

R. T. spur and extending that spur to- Coney Island or Pheepshead Bay. This was ths scheme approved by the late Boro President Ouider before he died. The Nostrand ave.

line Is recaptursble, but approaches of the city to the Interborough to find a basis for se-reement to recapture in the near future have brought negative responses. City officials state that tha I. R. T. will not discuss at present either plans for the absorption of the spur or its extension southward to the sea.

go a new route has been tentatively laid out which follows Marcy ave. rather than Nostrand across central Brooklyn to Lafayette and turns downtown on That avenue to the Fulton St. At the junction the question of how it shall be carried further has not been, determined. The present suggestions tion to tha five-power note of protest against the Nanking outrages, pre sented to the Cantonese authorities yesterday, and the sudden activity of the Northerners In checking the ad vane of the 'antonea armies to the north of the Yangts Kiver, In official Britlah quarters tha pre dominating opinion is that while the Powers no time limit fr a leply to their demands, they will brook no delay, it Is felt that the facts of the Nanking incl- lent are already well established and that the Towers would not agre to any further Independent investiga tion, hich It la -understood Eugene Chen, the Cantonese Foreign Minlc ter. Intends to suggest.

See Kdge Taken Off Demands. Shanghai reported that the com munication created unusual stir there, Inasmuch as It had, been gen erally anticipated, and Cantonese leaders expressed tae opinion that the edge of the demands was taken off to some extent by tho announce ment of Quo Tai-Ghl, Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, that tho Cantonese had made certain demands on the British Consul respecting alleged violation of Chinese sovereignty by tho British in the last few days. Reds anil hfiirse Mass on Border. Jn connection with the strained relations between Soviet Xtussia and Northern China, the Dally Mall has received word by way of Tokio that there is a large concentration of Kussian and Chinese troops on the Siberian border in preparation for possible hostilities. Japanese correspondents at Har bin are given as authority for the report that the Russians have four divisions and the Chinese one division and a half on the border.

An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Hongkong says that In conse quence of alarming reports of threatened disturbances at Welhalwei, in the British cruiser Cara-doc has been ordered to procoed there to investigate and protect foreigners.

Hia ability, integrity and independence ara unquestioned. These qualificationa are very generally recognized throughout the whole country, but. outside of the locality In which he has governed, there la still great uncertainty with regard to his attitude townrd many policies. Again, tha countrv gen erally Is ignorant of tha character of the campaign that Governor Smith would conduct as the leader of the Democratic party and of the methods that would be adopted by him In the administration of the Government as Chief Executive if elected President. "In due time, and upon appropriate ocrasiona.

Governor Smith will undoubtedly enlighten the Democracy of the whole country with, regard to nit such matters. "The citizens of Nevada' will form their own opinions, baaed upon what they learn about Governor Smith between now and the time the next National Convention meets. If Governor Smith Is nominated It will be because he has won the Democracy of the rest of the country, as he has won tha Democracy of the Eastern snd New England States. If he wins the nomination, he will win the election. "If Governor Smith becomes the leader of our party he will, in my opinion, carry the state of Nevada, and he will have my active support." CITY "GIVING AWAY" CONCESSIONS SAYS HYLAN Charges that concession privileges are being given away by the present City Administration st "ridiculously low figures." were made last night by former Mayor John F.

An oversea lous witness, who began her teatimony before she was called to the stand, cauaed County Judge George W. Martin today to adjourn until next Monday the second degree murder trial of MilWn Kenny of I7S1 Dean at.

The witness was the widow of John Calabrese, for whose death Kenny was on trial. He is alleged to have stabbed Calabrese on Christmas Eve. When Judge Martin cotrrened court, Mrs. Calabrese screamed. "You murdered, my Jack," and then collapsed.

Vincent O'Connor, defense counsel, asked Judge Martin for an adjournment, declaring the prospective Jurors might be prejudiced by the widow's outburst, 1 His motion was granted and Mrs Calabrese, scresmlng at Kenny, was carried out of the courtroom. are that It use the Fulton st. line through Lafayette from Fulton to Flatbush ave. and then either continue on the Fulton st. via Schermerhorn st.

to Smith st. or take a parallel street, possibly Livingston st. At Smith the line would connect with the te----- running toward South Brooklyn and so form a continuous line via Culver into Coney Island. The turning of the line downtown at Lafayette ave. Inatead of continuing it southward at least to Fulton If not to Eastern Parkway.

leaves a gap in the crosstown route through central Brooklyn of about l.ooo feet the distance from Lafayette ave. to Fulton st. at Marcy ave. A proposal to till in this gap and bring the line down Fulton st. has been negatived by engineering advice to the effect that if the line Is forced Into Fulton st.

there will be one ot. two undesirable results. An .1. Either six tracks must be laid in Fulton St. from that point to the Boro Hall section an expensive proposition because the street is not wide enough for them on a single level and two must laid at a lower level with deep stations or the trains from the crosstown tracks must be forced on to the Fulton st.

four-track line, which it Is declared would so crowd it as to make It Incapable of carrying the ultimate load from a loop system that reaches to Jamaica and beyond for Its patronage. As discussed now at the Board of Transportation, the crosstown line would not provide direct train connections into Manhattan. The line' of operation would be this: The two local tracks on Queens blvd. coming from. Jamaica, would feed Into the crosstown and follow that line to Smith then follow tha Bmlth-Sth st.

route and the recaptursble Culver line into Coney Island. The express tracks of the Queens blvd. line would run directly into Manhattan In one direction and in the other through Jamaica and over of the parallel "L's" to East New Tork where thy would take the Fulton st. line Into York City CANTON FACTIONS CLASH IN 4 CITIES; SOME REDS SLAIN Continue! from P' i. withdrawn from Peking algn of protett.

Coolllc Experts Compliant. Washington, -April 12 lP President ConHdse expectn compliance by the Chinese Nationalist authorities with the demands made by the United States in connection with outrages at Nanking, and for that reason ha has not given consideration to steps for enforcement of Ihc demand. Fighting today between Cantonese factions, reported at several point may nerve to delay replies to the Five-Power notes, but it also may have far-reaching results on he-whole future of China and the poli-cien of other nations toward that country. The victorious march northward of the Cantonese apparently has been uiade possible by their ability to present a united front. Pcflnllc Split Seen.

In some quarters In Washington an impression prevails that tho outbreak of fighting between Moderates under General Chiang and armed civilians or radiral-controlled military groups means that Chiang has definitely split with his former political colleagues at Hankow and is planning to attempt establishment of military control under his own dictatorship as a Moderate Nationalist. Should it prove truo that Chiang has occupied Nanking with his own loyal troops to prevent tho Hankow political wing from consolidating the Nationalist victories In that area, the whole question of reparations for the Nanking outrage conceivably might be taken out of the hands of the Hankow regime and remain ex clusively one for Chiang to deal with Admiral Hough, commanding' the American Yangtse Kiver patrol, ad vised the Navy Pepartment today that "at Nanking the Cantonese re treat has apparently stopped.
