There is to be a final conference. it was learned this morning, between the Public Serivee Commission and the Transit Committee of the Board of Estimate some day next week.

At this conference the finishing touches to the contracts will be decided upon. and then, unless something at present utterly unforeseen arises, the forms of contracts will be sent to the printer to ready for official advertising. The routes involved in the independent subway system include the BroadwayLexington avenue trunk line in Manhattan. with ita two extensions in the Bronx; the Canal street crosstown line; the Fort Hamilton and Coney Island extensions to the Fourth avenue subway in avenue route. Between these four Brooklyn, and the Broadway -Lafayette roads will involve an expenditure of at least $100.000.000 for construction alone, to which must ultimately be added the cost of equipment and operation.

From information from a11- that the advertising of the forms of conthoritative via sources to-day it may be said tracts and the specifications for the Broadway -Lafayette avenue route in this borough is likely to prove a source of some disappointment to the Eastern District, for the authorities have determined that for the present, at least, that route will not extend beyond junction of Lafayette avenue and Broadway. No Broadway Extension at Present. The Broadway -Lafayette avenue road was originally laid out by the old Rapid Transit Commission as one of the Brooklyn ends of the so-called bridge loop subway system. the Manhattan segment the. Public Service Commission sucbeing the Centre re street tunnel.

When ceeded the old board, it approved that route as laid down, with a few alterCations. Subsequently much pressure was brought to, bear, on the commission by residents Eastern District to modify the plans so that the road would be extended out Broadway as far as Jamaica avenue. Several hearings were held, and at the last one. which took place only a few weeks ago. the delegation representing the Eastern District was informed by one of the commissioners that the Public Service Board had decided to continue the line beyond the junction of Lafayette avenue and Broadway.

This announcement produced much joy in the section of the borough affected. Few of the inhabitants believed that the commission would extend the route as far as Jamaica avenue. but they all felt confident that the line would be continued up Broadway as far as Manhattan. Junction, anyhow. It now transpires the commission.

after considering the situation from every standpoint, has determined to go back to cite- original decision. In the form of contracts and the specifications about to be advertised the Broadwa avenue route, will terminate at the jungtion of those two thoroughfares, but there is every chance that an extension, running out Broadway, will be authorized before the loop is finished. "In reaching this decision," said a man in touch with commission today. made "the Public Service Commission up its mind that, if. it authorized important changes in the Broadway -Lafayette avenue route, it would also.

undoubtedly, be asked to institute alterations in the other roads involved in the independent system. Realizing that, unless a beginning were made, no new subways would ever be built, the commission, So I am informed, decided that it would be best for the public if it held strictly to the routes 'as originally planned, making any extensions that might seem advisable after the principal contracts were let:" Controller Says There'll Be No Delay. In certain civic and business circles the impression has developed that the hearings to be held by the Transit Committee of the Board of Estimate on subway routes might serve to delay the advertising of the roads involved in the independent- system. According to Controller Prendergast, a member of the committee, there is no basis in fact for. that impression.

In discussing the transit sitvation to-day the controller said: "The bearings which will be held by Transit on rapid transit should not in any way affect the prompt advertising of the subway system now under consideration. The committee del ed to have these hearings. the first of Which will take place on next Monday, as Ac Result of innumerable requests from theapublic. Milt is not the intention to limit the hearings to a discussion of the four routes included in the so-called independent system. On the contrary; we propose to hare a free discussion regarding the rapid transit needs of the city, with a view to at public sentiment.

It was never intended 16 that the two should interfere, and, if necthis can and wil be made plain at vethe conference next week.

TWO PLANNED QUIET TOUR. Thief Enters Home and Takes Money as Men Dreem of "Old World." Joseph Provent.

a florist of 131 Clarkson avenue. Flatbush, cannot sail for Europe to-morrow. as he was disposed to. The $900 that he had provided for his use while abroad was stolen by burglars, who entered his home last night. Provent slept in a room adjoining that of his brother-in-law.

Louis Schmutz, who is in with him. Schmutz had most of the money in his trouser a pockets, while Provent had considerable in his own. The entire amount was pilfered, however, and now both men are inconsolable. The Easter sales in Flatbush were large and Provent and Schmutz received a large share of the floral patronage. Their profits were very large, indeed.

Mr. Provent had been working industriously for months. and he decided before the holidays that he would take a much-needed rest immediately after Easter. Accordingly he went to the office of the Cunard Steamship Company and purchased the necessary transportation, Both florists were busy all day yesterday preparing Mr. Provent for the departure, and they went to bed earlier than usual last evening.

Their sleep was heavy, and the burglars had an easy time stealing their belongings. Although it 19 necessary to enter from one room to other in full sight of the persons in bed while awake, the burglar had nothing to fear. as both men were very fast asleep. It is supposed that the burglar took his time and worked at leisure. Captain Creamer of the Flatbush station made a thorough investigation this morning and he arrived at the conclusion that the theft was committed by someone who knew the circumstances.

"It was the work of some one who knew that there was a large sum of money in that house." said the captain when asked about the matter by an Eagle reporter to-day.

MIDNIGHT SONS BALL. Successful Social Event Given to Raise Money to Endow Hospital Bed. The Midnight Sons Association, a social and charitable body, held its annual ball last evening at Saengerbund Hall, Schermerhorn and Smith streets. Among the big crowd present were men well known as factors in politics and various local organizations in the greater city. The hall was profusely decorated for the occasion and presented a gala appearance.

From corner to corner were strung strings of smilax. Intertwined with the smilax were myriads of tiny electric lights of various colors. The lights were turned on and off, making a very pretty display. More than 300 couples took part in the grand march, which was at midnight. The march was led by James T.

Kilgallin, president of the association, and Mrs. Kilgallin, and it was a pretty sight. Dancing took up the greater part of the night and the milkmen were making their rounds before the lights of the hall were extinguished. The. ball was one of the best and most successful held this season in the hall.

The money raised by the ball--and the sum, it is said, will be large--will go to endow a bed in I some non-sectarian hospital in Brooklyn. "EDDY FAY." SAFE BLOWER. Manhattan Detectives Capture Burglar for Whom $20,000 Is Offered in Rewards. In the arrest of Frederick Cunningham and Frank Chester, who were taken into custody last night after a fight in the Grand Central Depot in Manhattan, by Detectives Bedner, McLoughlin and Daly of the Central Office, the police believe that they have made one of the most important captures in years. The men.

were lined up this morning before the 300 detectives at headquarters and one of the prisoners, Cunningham, was recognized as a much-wanted fugitive. He was recognized by Detective Peabody and other -timers as "Eddie Fay," who is one of the best all safe blowers in the country. The three detectives who made the capture are congratulating themselves, for there is about $20,000 in rewards for his capture, offered in nearly every section of the United States. His picture is in every gallery of importance in the country. The job for which the men were arrested last night was done in Richmond, Va.

The postoffice safe was blown some time between Saturday night and Monday morning and $85,000 worth of stamps and $3,000 in cash taken. BOYS BITTEN BY DOGS.

It Can Be Used as a Cemetery Without Grewsome Associations.

A distinct departure in cemetery architecture is described in Country Life in America. A year ago Edward Bok, of Philadelphia, purchased a lot in the cemetery with his mind fully made up that he would depart from the usual ugly and conventional treatment. He sketched out what he called an outdoor room--a scheme that would have all the peaceful beauty of an outdoor resting place, and have none of the grewsomeness which yet is invariably associated with cemetery lots. Eight graves were first dug. all on one side of the lot, and in each were built four walls of solid cement feet high and 6 inches thick.

rising to within 18 inches of the ground level, each grave being covered with a slab of North River slate securely cemented down. Twelve concrete pillars, 16 inches in diameter, were next erected, and 011 top of them were placed cast-iron beams. Then English ivy, wistaria, and box were planted, and the ground sodded. No grave mounds are used. so.

WHY MILLIONS QUIT IRELAND. Native Population of Only 4,250,000 Should Be 20,000,000, Says Seumas MacManus.

Ireland boasted a population of nearly 9.000,000 in 1847. To-day it is little more than 4,250,000, and nearly 50,000 of the finest, strongest, ablest young people of the country, the flower of the land, are annually emigrating, nearly 95 per cent. of them going to the United States, where went at least 90 per cent. of the total emigration from Ireland in the last century--and where to-day people with a large percentage of Irish blood number not less than 20,000,000, says Seumas MacManus in the Travel Magazine.

Ireland should have to-day. instead of 4.250.000 inhabitants, at least three times that number.

A MARVELOUS EXPLOSIVE. Nitro-Iodide Is Too Dangerous to Be Largely Produced. "What would be the consequences of firing a barrelful of nitrogen -idodide it would be impossible to say, simply because the stuff is too awful to be made in such quantities." says James Scott in the Strand Magazine.

It then resembles pepper. and only needs a few sharp breaths of the manipulator--just sufficient to make them roll--to cause each speck to ignite and explode, meantime giving off a long. thin column of dense purple smoke.
