STUDY IN CONTRAST
WHAT CHICAGO PA VS.
Less Than One-Hundredth:
of Grade Crossing Work.
In the Borouph of Brooklyn. New York.
It Is costing upward of $2,500,000 to abolish
Frad> crossings along some twenty miles
of railway, of which amount the city Is
being assessed to pay one-half. In Chicago
it has cost $53,662,000 to abolish grade cross
ings along some, seven hundred and fifty
miles of railway, of which amount the
city's share lias been less than $500,0<X).
These facts are brought out in corre
spondence between the Controller's office
and the city's legal department in the con
troversy over the share of the cost of
grade crossing elimination work along th«
Bay Ridge bran, of the. T^ong Island Rail
road for which the city is being assessed.
Fart of the responsibility for the condi
tions which this startling comparison dis
closes is placed by the Controller's engi
neers at the door of the Corporation Coun
sel office in failing to properly interpret
the provisions of the law under which the
grade crossing elimination work is being
carried out
Notwithstanding that the act expressly
•forbids the cost of any betterments being
made a charge againrt the city, it is stated
the joint account for the work, of which
the city pays one half, has been loaded
with an excels well beyond $1,000,000 for
■what are palpably railway betterments.
The controller's office has refused to make
the payments in question, and the matter
will be fought out in the courts under man
damus proceedings instituted by the rall
vav company.
One of the strongest instances of over
charge for betterment work not authorized
J.y the act is the depression of the railway
company's right of way over a mile and a
half of what is known as the Bay Ridge
section. For the -whole of this distance the
original railway was operated in an open
cut. over which existing streets and ave
nues were carried by adequate viaducts.
FYom the Bay Ridge terminal for a mile or
Tr.ore the railway was operated upon an
ascending grade of from 26 to- 126 feet to
the mile, with a maximum grade of 63 feet
to the mile.
By dps inclusion of this stretch of line
within the scope of the improvement, the
right of way at th*» beginning of the section
reareet to Bay Ridge is to be depressed
over two feet, and th^ depression is to be
continued to the. other end of the section.
This will involve excavation at the points
nf maximum grade of some twenty feet be-
Jow the gTade of the original roadbed. In
addition, the entire width of the company's
right of way over this distance is to be
graded into a roadbed, so that, for half a
mile where only one track previously ex
isted, there will be two tracks when the
improvement 1» completed.
This Tvnrk is being don» over a section
of the railway where originally no grad*
erodings existed. Five adequate viaducts
which now carry existing streets and a-ve
rue* over the railway are to be torn down
find n«=w- structures erected wide enough to
nodat** additional tracks laid upon
the new roadbed, with former heavy grades
filminated by depression of the right of
way.
Th" accompanying photographs show the
original one track line with the kind of via
duct which now carries intersecting streets
over the railway, and the work of the im
provement in progress at the same point
showing the extent to which the roadbed Is
being widened to accommodate additional
tracks and lowered to remove excessive
grades. The \iaduct shown in the photo
graph is one of those to be torn down and
replaced by a steel structure sufficient to
carry tie street over the widened roadbed
st a much lower grade.
RAILWAY'S ATTITUDE.
When the railway company first filed
plans for these extensive improvements to
this Bay Ridge section of its line, the Cor
poration Counsel in a written opinion de
clared that, inasmuch as the grade crossing
act authorized only such changes as were
necessary to abolish grade crossings, if any
changes in grade over this section were
nought by the railway company for the.
purpose merely of improving its operating
facilities, such changes clearly did not come
within the purview of the act authorizing
th* worV.
The railway company absolutely refused
to accept this interpretation of the law.

ler"s engineers, assumed an attitude of hos
tility to the whole improvement and threat
ened to order a complete stoppage of work.
even while admitting that the railway had
previously been Inoperative because of ex
cessive grades.
The impasse resulting from the stand
taken by the railway company brought
about a compromise, described by the Cor
poration Counsel in a subsequent opinion,
in which it was declared that the plan
proposed by the railway company should
be accepted, inasmuch as the carrying out
of that plan was essential to giving the
railway a grade reasonably fitted for the
nature of its traffic and other purposes of
operation.
Acting upon thiE compromise opinion,
which the report of the Controller's engi
neers states gave valuable concessions not
warranted by law to the railway company,
with no compensating tangible benefit to
the city, the railway company's plan was
assented to on the basis tliat the cltv was
to pay one-half the cost of the entire
work
Another important feature of the rail
way company's plan for the improvement
of this section of its line is the excava
tion of a tract of land to be used as a
freight yard. This land, the report states,
is above the level of the surrounding
streets and greatly above the grade of the
railway as it existed at the time the act
was passed, except the very small, portion
that was used for two sidings
BLOWS HOT AND COLD.
The Corporation Counsel in his first
opinion unequivocally held that the exca
vation of the site of this proposed yard to
the proposed grade of the railway must he
done at the sole expense of th?> railway
company. Under the compromise opinion
subsequently given the freight yard exca
vation was included within the scope of
the improvement on»»-half the cost of
which is to be borne by the city.
The reports of the Controller's engineers
point out that this extensive reduction in
gradep, including the freight yard layout,
on thip section of the railway Is being se
cured by the company through loading the
city's share of the cost for abolishing
grad" crossing- with ehargrs clearly ex
cluded under the section of the law prohib
iting bette-inents t\hether provided for in
the act or not.
It is pointed out that th» elimination of
grade crossings in itself is a work that
Justifies a very considerable expenditure by
the railway company for the freedom en
joyed thereafter from crossing repair
charges, watchmen and gatemen's wages,
the necessity for reduced speed and the
danger and consequential damages in case
of accident.", with a possible complete tem
porary suspension of traffic.
In Chicago, the reports say, a vast cross
ing elimination work has been under way
since 1302. Details of the part of this vast
undertaking that has already been com
pleted, given in a report made to the Board
of Estimate, fhow that some seven hun
dred and fifty miles of track have been
elevated, involving the abolition of some
eight hundred grade crossings, at a cost of
$53,622,000, and that the city's share for the
work done was less than $500,000.
Commenting upon the certification by the
Brooklyn Grade Crossing Commission of
claims against the city for its share of
grade crossing elimination work that In
cludes betterment?, on the ground that the
question as to the correctness of the plans
was not a matter within its discretion, the
report of the Controller's engineers states:
I submit that it is not within the dip
cretion of any commission or any city offi
cial, by so-called compromise or agree
ment, to call on the city to share in joint
account charges loaded with an excess
we]] beyond a million dollars for what are
fo palpably railway betterments, when the
exclusion of these charges is made manda
tory by the act creating the commission.

Flcn and the Corporation Counsel be ad

tive of the attitude of this department.
PASTOR WOULDN'T PAY TAXES.
Said Dog Was Only a Pup and Thonght
Cloth Covered Poll Tax. "
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 7 (Special).— Because
he entertained th» mistaken notion that a
clergyman was exempt from poll tax and
that th« law did not require th* owner of
a two-year-old pup to pay a dog tax, the
Rev. Herbert Brown got himself into a
p«>ck of trouble with the borough authori
ties. His refusal to pay resulted in a war
rant being issued for his arrest, but Mar
shal Ferguson regarded the cloth too highly
to take the minister to jail, and suggested
that he appear before the Borough Council
to msike a statement.
The minister has accepted a call to thn
Presbyterian Church at Kidgewood. and he
preached his farewell sermon in the Rain
eey church last Sunday. Charles E. May,
the Tax Collector, occupied a pew, and
after the service he told the minister that
his poll tax and a dog tax must be paid,
hut the minister turned him away with the
remark that he knew the law. The mar
shal was at the parsonage the next day
with the warrant.
When the parson, accompanied by two
of his deacons, appeared before the borough
council he was in a belligerent mood. He
Bald that It was well known to every tax
collector that a minister of the gospel is
exempt from paying a poll tax. "As to the
dog tax," he said, "it was an outrage to
ask a man to pay a tax of f/» cents for a
two-year-old pup."
The councllmen called upon the Borough
Attorney. Bdgar De Toe, for an opinion.
"The law exempts only idiots and lunatics,"
the attorney declared "and as to the dog
tax the law makes no distinction between
two-year-old pupa »nd dog?."
The clergyman paid toe tux bill.

WHITE SLAVE PROOF.
Definite Information About
T raffic to Go to Grand Jury.
Definite proof that a wholesale exporta
tion of women from this city to Central
and South America for immoral purposes
will be furnished to the grand Jury, It was
learned yesterday. This was announced as
the result of a consultation between Judge
O'Sullivan, District Attorney Whitman and
John D. Rockefeller, jr.
Secret Service agents are said to have
evidence that will show the existence of
two trading companies that traffic In
women.
Miss Maud E. Miner, former probation
officer of the night court and now head of
the Waverley House, in West 10th street,
called at the District Attorney's office yes- j
terday. She has devoted a great deal of !
time to investigating the "white slave" j
traffic, and is said to have, accumulated j
some valuable evidence. Police Commis- !
sioner Baker was another visitor, just "to j
get acquainted," he said, although the
District Attorney announced later that Mr.
Baker had agreed to give all the assistance
in his power to the forthcoming Investiga- '
tion.
Two cases were added to the already I
long list of "white slave" cases that have j
reached the magistrates' courts here. Jo- j
seph Patterson, of No. 246 Houston street,
was held in $1,000 ball for examination to
day by Magistrate Moss, in the Harlem
court. The prisoner, who said he was a
waiter in the Haymarket, in Sixth avenue,
was arrested on Thursday night by Detec
tive Finan on complaint of a. woman with
•whom he was quarrelling at Eighth avenue
and 115 th street.
The girl is Julia Barber, twenty-one years
old, who has been living in a furnisher",
rocm at No. 471 West 23d street. She told \
the magistrate that she met Patterson at
a dance, and that since then she had been
giving him money. One night, when she
had none to give him. he beat her so badly,
she said, that she was in the New York
Hospital for four day:-. The quarrel which
was interrupted by the detective was be
cause, of her intention to give up the life
she had been leading.
Magistrate Moss also held Joseph Marflo. !
of No. (33 East 114 th street, in $1,000 bail j
for examination to-day, a charge of pro- :
I curing having been made against him by
two sisters, the elder nineteen years old,
living at No. 58 East 119 th street. The
girls were sent to the, House of the Good
Shepherd to await the examination. »

Morristown, N. J.. Jan. 7.— Robert T,ieber.
twenty-seven years old, of Rockaway, was
run over by an autojnobile owned by the
Morris County Traction Company at Rock
away this morning, and died in Morris
town Memorial Hospital late this after
noon. Lieber was riding a horse when he.
met the automobile coming toward Mor

chauffeur of the machine, Robert Bu
chanan, of Dover, turned out into the gut- ]
ter, but the horse threw I>ieber under the
machine, and one of the rear wheels passed
over his chest.
In the car was General Manager Henry
H. Archer of the traction company, and he
sent the machine after physicians. Dr.
Flagg, of Rockaway, ordered Lieber'a re
moval to the hospital, and he was brought
here in the automobile. The physicians
found that the man was suffering from a
ruptured windpipe, and could do nothing
to save his life. Coroner Francis H. Glaze
brook secured an antc-mortem statement
from Lieber in which be exonerated Bu
chanan from all blame, and the coroner
deems an Inquest unnecessary. Libber

CHINESE ON STAiND
A 1.1 8 1 THE UEFF.SC E.
Two on Trial for Bow Kum
Murder Testify. i\ j •
Both defendant*. T-ow Tang «nd Low
Shan.«r. testified yesterday at their trial for
the murder of Bow Kum. the Chinese
woman who was found stabbed to death in
a room at No. 17 Mott street last Augiist,
that they were not in Mott street on the
night of th» murder. This was after Jus
tice. Goff had denied the motion of their
counsel, Terence J. McManup, for a dis
missal of the complaint.
Mr. McManqa contended that the p«»ecu
tlon had failed to present any evidence to
ronnert his clients with the murder, and
artded that a conspiracy had been laid
aßainst them in order to free Chin Un. who
lived with the murdered girl. Chin Lin h
a member of the On I.eong Tong. while the
defendants are members of the Four 1 Broth
ers.
Frank Moss, Assistant District Attorney,
opposed the motion, and said It had been
proved that the defendants were in Bow
Hum's room the night she was killed. He
added that tlio president of the On I-eonß
Tong had testified that one of the defend
ants had approached him and asked him to
act as intermediary with Chin Lin in the
demand for $3,000.
Counsel for the defendants then renewed
his motion, but Justice Goff denied it, and
the defence began to put in its case. Wit
nesses for the prosecution have testified
that there was no meeting of the On Leong
Tons on the night of the murder. Various
witnesses called by Mr. McManus, who have
been expelled from that organization since
the murder, swore that there was a meet
ing to discuss ways and means of getting
Chin Lin out of trouble after he had been
arested by Captain Galvin, the Chinese ex
pert of the Police Department. Mr. Mc-
Manus examined all the witnesses on this
point, but the objections of Mr. Moss were
sustained by Justice Goff.
Low Tans, one of the defendants, swore
that he did not know Chin I>in and had
never seen Bow Kum. He said he was a
membor of the TliD Sine Tong until Au
gust, and as such was not allowed to go
into Mott street. He did not hear of the
murder, he said, until the next morning,
having attended the Chinese Theatre the
night before and gone directly home to bed,
after eating a light repast.
Low Shaner, the other defendant, said he
did not hear about the murder until he was
a rreated. l[f worked all day, and on the
night of the murder wrote letters, he saiti,
for Joe Chung, of Rockville Centre, Long
Island, In his laundry in Henry street.
Brooklyn, after which both of them went
to bed. Joe Chung cave similar testimony
previously, alt hough numerous witnesses
have testified that they saw both defend
ants come out of Bow Kum's rooms just
before her dead body was found.
"Did you or Low Tang kill Bow Kum
with that knife?" acked Mr. McManus,
holding up the bloodstained knife which
was found beside the body of the mur
dered girl.
"No," replied l.nw Phanic; and the de
fence i'lo^.t] its case.
Mr. Mops called Captain Carey in rebut
tal and asked about a conversation he had
with Chin TJn early on the morning the
murder was discovered. "He said that Tyiw
Tang and See Sin had told Bow Kum that
she would be killed if $3,0130 were not paid,"
the witness testified that Chin T,in told htm.
It developed that See Sin was the Chinese
name for Four Brothers. The case will be
continued on Monday.
CARD SHARPS FROZEN OUT.
Passengers on the Adriatic Had Been
Warned Against Gajig.
Gambling on the high seas is an "un
profitable" buslne.-p these days for tha pro
fessional«. Unless the purveyors of al
leged hazards visit some wizard who
changes fa>-es while you wait, they will
have to follow some honest calling. The
Adriatic got in yesterday with five pro
fessional card sharps. The moment the big
liner left Southampton the men were, ob
served by the ship's officers, and th j pas
fcfngers were warned.
There were several games of bridge and

blers made a diplomatic effort to sit in,
but they were frozen out.
EARTH CRUST DUE TO EROSION.

Cambridge. Mass., Jan. 7— Professor Will

"This earth." said Professor Davis, "has
been built up by slow, simple processes of

volcanic outbursts. This earth is just about
the same kind of earth that it w;is Iti pre

. Good looks alone cam- little
weight with us.
Indeed the high price ;of|j
wool has made many good
looking suit fabrics cam- soU
little weight that we won't use
them.
We not only insist on all
wool, we insist on enough i
ounces of all-wool to make our !
suits warm in real Winter
weather.
Sam- truths apply to '-i" n?erce*tt.
Next Monday is "Settlement
Day" for hundreds of commis
sion salesmen.
If a part of the draw-down is j
put into a good fur lined over
coat, it will be a comfort foe
years to come.
SJ
We've th« furs all right- -
Wouldn't the average mer
chant gasp if you suggested
that he carry forty-odd lines
of men's underwear.
Yet we do, because we're
bound •to meet even- man's !
underwear want.
Boys' underwear Is another lons story.
Do you realize that toe
troubles often come from low
insteps
Ordinary shoes allow such,
insteps to push forward and
crowd the toes. .
Our "Two - Shoe" shoe
stops that — an upper a size
smaller than normal for the
lower, fits the instep snugly.
Really two shoe sizes la one shoe. S3. ',
Another large shipment of!
! our Dollar Glove just landed. j
As our Dollar Glove is quite
1 equal to many $1.50 gloves,
and is the only imported glove
in Xew York at its price — so
far as we know, it's small won
■ der it's a lively seller.
