The order was vacated on motion of Sewell B. Tyng. of counsel for the company, Mr.'Tyng argued that, in effect, it prohibited the continuance cf the company's business, and as such the law re quired that William Hepburn Russell, counsel for the pollcyholdexs* committee, to whom it was granted, should' have served notice on the com pany. After the order had been vacated. Mr. Rus sell served n#tice on the Mutual Reserve, and an other order to show cause was granted on which arguments will be heard this morning. Counsel for the Mutual Beatrix have twenty days in which to reply to the papers served in the suit brought by Mcses Garfunkel. an assessment policy holder. Commenting on this. Mr. Russell said lnst night. -It is customary in such cases to give the defendant at least one extension of time in which to answer, and had they asked us for the twenty d*ys' extension I should have been wining to give It to them." In an affidavit made by Henry H. Brown, an as sessment pollcyholder of the Mutual Reserve, it was brought out th.it the company had informed him that hia premium had been increased from |n>K to $&", no. and that a •special call" had been made on him for $129 00. Mr. Brown lives at N"o. 3.35U Sedgwick avenue. Kingsbridge, the Bronx. He took out a policy in 189:?. The company gave him the option of paying the regular premium and accepting a reduction in the face value of his policy.

Gill, veterinary inspector for this district for the State L partm»nt of Agriculture. said yesterday that because the department lacks money with which to carry on the work of inspect ing cattle it is the present practice or six slaughter houses in this city to buy on every Wednesday, in the open market at the Union Stock Yards in 61st Mutt, sick, emaciated cattle, infected with tuber culosis, and that these cows are killed by the hun dred every nek and sold ny unscrupulous dealers to the poor, chiefly of the East Side. "How do you explain the existence of such con ditions in this ■ -:tyV he "-is asked. "I will answer that by telling an incident. The Commissioner oi, Agriculture, Mr. Wieting, lives at Cobleskill. N. V. His house is about one hundred fe*-t from the railroad. One night, a short time ago he heard the mooing and coughing of catile. and inspected a carload, which he noted was tagged for New York City. He found the cattle to be thin, and believed them to be sick. Mr. Wieting tele graphed me, and I went to the slaughter house to which the car had been consigned, and upon test ing the animals found that most of them showed positive lesions of tuberculosis. By my order all were killed. "These men don't have government inspection, upon the plea that they are not engaged in Inter state commerce. They kill the sick cows, after the local health Inspector has left their plants, usually at night. They are successful in getting the in fected cows served up in bolognas, cheap steaks, •etc. "We have inter* Governor Hughes, and with his forceful personality, engaged in correcting the miserable: conditions l should say we will secure the needed assistance properly to handle the situa tion at an early date." SOUTHERN PROPOSITION OPPOS Haraiiran and Others Do Not Favor Flat Rate of 2 1-2 Cents m Mississippi. Jarkron, Miss.. Feb. 13.— Colonel E. L. Russell, of the Mobile. A Ohio Railroad. representing the Southern Railway, acting under instructions from President FTn'ey. submitted to the House Com mittee on Railroads to-day a voluntary offer to establ'fih a flat passenger rate of 2V> cents a mil* on interstate business, the experiment to be tried for twelte months from April 1 The head> of the other railway systems, includ ing President J.

" What is adequate sen-ice within the meaning of the public service act?" This is one of the ques tions asked the officers and operating heads of the various transit companies within the jurisdiction of the commission of the Ist District, before which they appeared yesterday afternoon. No definite conclusion was reached. ; It was the first of a series of conferences planned by Chairman Willcox for an Interchange of views with an idea of accomplishing a general improve ment in service without the formality of hearings and orders. Every company was represented, at the request of the commission. Those present were E. P. Bryan, president, and Frank Hedley. geneva] manager, of the Int»rborough Rapid Transit Com pany: E. W. Winter, president; J. F. Calderwood, vic^-prcsider.t and general manager, and W. S. Met. ■ den. chief engineer and general superintendent, of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company: John ll Hems. president of the Coney Island & Brooklyn company: S. F. Hazelrigg and Mr. Muller, of the Staten Island lines; E. A. Maher, president of " the Union Railway Company: Alfred Skin, president, and A. E. Kahlbach. of th» New York City-Inter borough company, and Mr. Fuller, president of the Queens < Toiinty trolley system. All the members of the Public Service Commis sion were present at the conference. Speaking of what had been done after the railway men had gone. Chairman Willrox said; "I called the^e men for the purpose of getting an interchange of views. It seemed to me we could all profit by coming to some understanding as to .iust what adequate service means, and that it might he possible to get an improvement of the service without the formality of bo many hear ings and orders. Of course we do not intend to do away with hearings ar.d orders I simply wanted to put the views of the commission before the responsible heads of the companies so, that they might know what to expect, and in turn to learn from them what their ideas on proper tran sit facilities were. "Those present seemed to think the conference had been of much benefit, and expressed the hope tViat other such meetings would t>e held. No def inite conclusions were reached. The railway men made no promises. We u-=ked none. We simply asked them to see if it would not be possible for •js to co-operate in improving the service. "Of course it seems impossible now to give an adequate service during the rush hours, but I *aid my Conception of adequate service In the non-rush hours would mean a seat for every passenger. Tt'.at seemed to surprise some of them, but 1 do not remember that any one denied the principle. I think I made it perfectly clear that our concep tion of adequate service did not mean that every car or train should pay expenses or that every line should pay expenses. They have got to get away from that." TELL ABOUT COLD CARS. Public Service Commission Hearing on Interborough Order. Nearly two-thirds of the elevated cars operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company on February 11 were cold, according to statistics pre sented by an inspector of the Public Service Com mission yesterday, that is to say. nearly two thirds of the cars had a temperature of less than 50 degrees. This information was made a matter of record at the hearing requiring the transit com pany to show cause why it should not maintain a temperature of not less than «0 degrees in all ele vated cars in operation. Commissioner Eustis. whose home is in The Bronx, said that on account of the many com plaints regarding ccld cars on the elevated he had gone to his office on the Ninth Avenue "LT on Monday, Tuesday and yesterday. On Monday, he said, he could see his breath in the car. and judged from that it was cold. He had no ther mometer, but it was easy to see that the people in the car were uncomfortable. Inquiry nt the 15r>th slice* terminal, he said, brought out the fact that there was a difference of Opinion among the enintoyea regarding the meaning of the si.:?ns supposed to indicate the amount of beat to be turned on in the cars. One employe toid him that '"Heater 3." for instance, meant that all three fuses should be turned on. Another's in terpretation was that only Fuse No. 3 should be turned on. The report of the inspector showed that 117 cars w - ere tested for temperature on the various lines between 6:20 a. m. and 9:ir, a. m. on Tuesday. Of that number seventy-two showed temperatures beiow 5" degrees and foriy-five showed tempera tures above T.O degrees. About 6S per cent of the cars had temperatures varying .between 41 and .".0 degrees and -H per cent varied between &1 and Less than 1 per cent of tbe cars showed a te.tnperature above til — ' Alfred A. Gardiner, representing the Interbor o'.igh. asked more time to prepare his case. "Our officials have been kept pretty busy with hear ings.'" he said, "but you must remember that they must give some time to the operation of the road* under their charge." The hearing will be resumed at o p. m. to-day. RYAN. BELMONT. SCHIFF SUBPCENAED. Their Testimony Wanted in Attorney Gen eral's Suit Against New York City Railway. Thomas F. Ryan. August Helmont and Jacob H. Schiff L-ve bren subpoenaed as witn*»ss^s in the trial Of the suit begun by Attorney Genera! Jack son to declare forfeited the franchise < f the New- York City Railway and to dissolve the company, which is set down for Monday in Part 111 in Spe cial Term of the Supreme Court. For several days process servers from the At torney General's office have been trying in vain to serve subp<rnas on Frank S. Gannon and H H. Vreeiand. director* of the company. Attorney General Jackson declares in bis nftl davita ti.Ht the franchise of the company should be forfeited on the ground that the corporation was insolvent for more than a year prior to the tim* it w.-nt int.. the hands of federal receivers. Herbert B- Limbor*: is special counsel for the At torney General in this case SAYS METZ HINDERS SUBWAY WORK. Bronx Real Estate Broker Accuses Con troller of Discrimination. Edward Polak. of the Association of Bronx Real Estate Brokers, in an open letter to the Hoard of Estimate and Apportionment, which meets 10-day. assure- '. hat eugust body that the city has a debt- Ir.currlns capacity of $113.0G0.000. and that H is high time that it advertised for bl.ls for the so caOad tri-borotigh subway. In order to make sure of the Controller-s opposition. Mr. Polak accuses him of bias in favor of Brooklyn and the Inter lioroußli people. He say*: Mr Metz does not approve of building subways in Manhattan and in The Bronx but he purpoM* " A "nd 115,060.800 for docks In Brooklyn. He also l,urpW« to spend 53.000.0u0 in Brooklyn for what mist eventually be nothing more than a branch to the existing subway routes. There seems to be a idled effort on his part to compel the city to R<*c»-pt private capital to build subways. He la doing all he can to exhaust the city's resources by advocating the spending of money on things which are unimportant compared with subways. He tells us boldly. "I am opposed to the city building subways. Those routes ought to be built by private capital." This shows very plainly why Mr hf«u cannot nee any monry In the city'- treas ury for - i leva vs. Does Mr Metz remember that the citizens by a referendum •>>(»• (1 f over sev enty thousand In 1904 votfd for municipal construc tion of subways? Is Mr. M'-tz going to fly in the face of the expressed will of the people? SLIPS ON ICE AND FALLS TO DEATH. Hartford.
