F. J. SPRAGUE OFFERS PLAN
Issues Pamphlet on Subway
Problem — To Share Profits.
In a pamphlet addressed to the Public
Service Commission' Krank J. Sprߣ"<\ the
consulting engineer, who has been opposing
the triborough route for the !:isi two
months, offered yesterday two alternatives
which, in his opinion, would solve the sub
way problem of the city at a considerable
savins: of public money.
In a condensed table of probable costs of
She triborough route Mr. Spragw tried to
show by using tho figures thus far made
public by the commission that, with the ad
dition of all the items which should be con
sidered, but had been ignored by th« com
mission In its statement?, the total cost,
including equipment, would reach $236,931,
593.
Mr. Snrague said that the view of the ad
vocates of the triborough that there are but
two alternatives before the city, namely,
surrender to the Interborough or the con
struction of the triborough as a competing
system, was wrong, and he suggested one
alternative for a general solution of the
problem and 3 proposal for an independent
line; already outlined by him on several
occasions.
The new Droposition is a joint profit ar
rangement ba*^<i on the offer of th* Inter
boroukh to make extensions of its lines with
city capital. Mr. Sprague explained this
in the following terms:
"A share of profits on extensions can he
translated into a percentage of profits of
tbe whole on some equitable basis which
recotnnzes all the contributing: feature*", and
as matters now star.d both the Interborough
comoanv and the Public Service Commis
sion may well consider a material expan
sion of the earlier . proposition on a new
basis, "namely, that the city shall share to
a uroser degree in the profits from all sub
way operation, and to a lesser degree in all
elevated profits as well, on condition of a
voice in the company's management and
the adoDtlon of a fixed policy of co-opera
tion durinsr the lifetime of the present fran
chise.
•If. however. The Interborough Interests
Will not definitely renew their offer." Mr.
Sprajrue said later, "then let the Public
Service" Commission do what any competent
private corporation would do— seize upon
every strategic route Bought by the Inter
bofaugh which can l)«? moulded into a coher
ent, workable system, construct it en sane
Ones at the minimum cost, so that it would
attract and maintain profitable independent
operation.
".Such an Independent line is not that
represented by the triborough route."
Mr. Snrague offered a four-track route
from Od street down Seventh avenue to
Liberty street; on-* level. Instead of dou
ble deck, as that proposed by the tribor
ough. below «2d street; then a twO-tracK
line to the Battery, and another from T-ib
ertv street under the East River to join
the Fourth avenue subway. A four-track
iloubte-rfcck_>xtension above 42d street to
157 th street. ' No costly Canal street route.

XEW-Yv m; i^i^ TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, /NOVEMBER 19, 1910.
COUNT TOLSM WEAKER;
HIS CONDITION (WE
He Is Frequently Unconscious.
but Doctors Have Not Aban
doned Hope.
CZAR NICHOLAS INTERCEDES
Expresses Wish That the Novel
ist May Be Buried Accord
ing- to the Rites of the
Orthodox Church.
Astapova. Russia. Nov. 19. — At 12.40
o'clock this morning Count Leo Tolstoy
was resting quietly.
Astapova. Russia. Nov. 18. — After hav
ing remained practically unchanged
throughout the day. the condition of
Count Leo Tolstoy took an unfavorable
turn late this afternoon. • Oxygen was
administered to the patient, who fre
quently lost consciousness.
Great anxiety was expressed by those
at the bedside of the stricken novelist,
but hopes have not been abandoned for
his ultimate recovery. .
T>r. Usoff. professor of internal diseases
at Moscow University, and Dr. Thtchu
rovsky. who treated Count Tolstoy for
bronchitis in the Crimea in 1901, have
been hurriedly summoned to Astapova.
At 7 o'clock this evening: Tolstoy'^
temperature was 97.88, pulse 110 and
respiration ."(*. At that hour he wa?
quite conscious, but sleepy and very
weak. Still later in the evening, after
a clj''st<T temperature had been takrn.
which registered 98.2 degree?, the pa
tient's condition was slightly improved.
Dr. Berkenheim says the case is not
hopeless, though treatment can relieve
the overtaxed heart throughout periods
of unconsciousness. The weakness of
Tolstoy's heart is recognized as the chief
source of danger.
Xo detail of the bedchamber escapes
Tolstoy. To-day he rebuked Dr. Berken
heim for entering and not greeting him.
Again, overhearing a hushfd consulta
tion regarding his hiccough, Tolstoy
said: "It is not painful." This morning
he demanded that some one read to him
disconnected sentences he had dictate*!
while in a semi-delirious state last night.
Tho Holy Synod is trying by all ave
nues to approach tha bedrid* of Count
Tolstoy. To-day it ordered an aged
monk. Joseph, a friend of Tolstoy, with
whom he conversed at the Opthia Mon
astery last week, to come to Astapova.
Joseph's health, however, did not per
mlt of his making the journey, and
therefore the Abbot of Optina, accom
panied by a monk, came in hi* stead.
They were not permitted to rnter the
sickroom, however.
Tills morning Tolstoy's eldest daugh
ter, Tatina. was permitted to see her
father for a few moments.
Russia is deeply interested in the ef
forts being made for Count Tolstoy's
reconciliation with tho Greek Catholic
Church. There is little prospect of suc
cess in the matter for the present, as his
physicians say that there would be grave
danger in the mental excitement which
the count would be likely to experience if
he were permitted to see the telegram
sent him by the Metropolitan Antonius
Or to receive a visit from the Orthodox
Pfshnp Cyril, whom th** Holy oym*4 has
sent here.
The government apparently is desirous
of finding a compromise, but several
clericals of the Synod insist that Tolstoy
must show evidence* of repentance be
fore he can be received again into th<?.
Church.
St. Petersburg, Nov. IS.— Emperor
Nicholas to-day had ail audience with
the procurator of the Holy Synod, M.
Lukianoff, to whom he expressed the
wish that Couiit Tolstoy he buried
according to the Orthodox rite, even if a
reconciliation between the venerable man
3n4 the Church were n<st effected.
TWO KILLED "iN ELEVATOR
Brotrrar3 Drop Three Stories
When Cable Breaks.
James Condi thlrty-seren years old,
and his brother Michael, forty-five years
old. were killed last night when a freight
elevator, in which they wsr<s occupant?,
fell from the third floor to the basement
of a grocer;' stop?, at No. US Sixth ave
nue. Jam?? was killed instantly, anci
Michael died a Giw minutes after he
reached St. '*"incent's Hospital.
The Condron boys, as they e re known
to the flntt, tog-ether with Bernard Con
nelly, wen? about to descend- from the
third floor, when Donnelly made a re
mark about '..he hitching of thr. cabM.
stud got out of the car. saying he would
BS6 what *.vas the matter. No sooner
had be stepped clear of it Trh«»n some
thing snapped, and the elevator shot
down to the basement, carrying the
Condrons with it. The cable was found
afterward to hare broken off. Both men
were terribly mangled.
MORE FOLK USE TAXICABS
Police Repress Disorder — Eight
Arrests May Use Sticks.
Mora people rode in taxicabfi yesterday
than at any ,tim« since the strike- of the
chauffeurs began, and (M taxl£al> compa
nies sai«l the beginning of Ha end had come.
People .seeme<l to have more confidence
;>.nd many of th<nn had* got over their dis
inclination to rW« with a policeman in
front.
Deputy Police Commissioner DrtßCOtl or
dered tli^ r>oik:i? on strike duty to use their
ni^lu sticks, if necessary.
At the strike headquarters, in No. 781
Kishth avenue, the strike leaden* beard
the report of this order shortly after It was
given. Their version of the order was that
the police bad benn told to "'club tho heads
off the strikers."
"I simply Informed the polio©." Mr. Dris
coll said later, "that their clubs were not
for ornament, but for use, and thai they
wf-rr not to stand for any jirl«l throwing. 1
told them that they must, not be coward*,
afraid to uiu> the night stick*, but that
there was to be no pfotnlstiuoua walloping."
Charles W. Porater, secretary of the New-
York joint executive council of the team
sters nn't treasurer of th^ Chauffeurs'
T'nlon. *ald the striker* would win. Btrikfl
benefits Would be paid, starting with next

Richard W. M«a<te, president of the N. a-
York Transportation Company, said that

ASOUITH APPEALS
10 BRITISH PEOPLE
Premier Names November 28 as i
Day for Dissolution of
Parliament.
SILENT AS TO GUARANTEES
Liberals Believe Satisfactory As
surances Have Been Given
by King — Election
eering" Begins.
[By Cable to The Tribune.]
London, Nov. IS.— a word was
heard about guarantees rom the Crown
to-day when Prime Minister Asnuith
named November 28 as the day for the
dissolution of Parliament. Whatever
might be the assurances which he had •
received from the King". Mr. Asquith said J
ho could not say anything 1 about them.
He emphasized this point when ques
tioned by Lord Hugh Cecil.
Unionist members who heard the state
ment angrily denied that the sovereign
was pledged to create peers In the con
tingency of the rejection of the veto or
parliamentary bill by the Lords after a.
successful appeal to the country.
The delighted Radicals were confident
that satisfactory guarantees had been
obtained. Their reasoning was plausible,
since it was based upon Mr. Asquith's
deliberate pledge made on April 14 that
he would not recommend dissolution un
less he should receive guarantees for
carrying- the will of the people into
effect. There was also strong confirma
tion of this view in the fact that John
E. Redmond had apparently agreed to
the passage of a portion of the budget.
This course would have been inexplica
ble if the Nationalist leader had not
been convinced that the Prime Minister
had asked for adequate assurances and
received them. If the government had
resigned and Mr. Balfour had appealed
to the country there would have been a
general agreement that guarantees had
been refused.
It is i poor rule that does not work
both ways, an ] the fact that Mr. Asquith
remains in office and has advised disso
lution is prima facie evidence that the
King will not offer resistance to the "will
of the people, if clearly expressed at a
general election.
The government starts off with a great
advantage in having this delicate niat
t<r virtually settled without the King's
name hnvinjy neen dragged into the dis
cussion. ThU Is more important than
the disturbance of a holiday, to wiuch
Mr. Halfour referred for electioneering
purposes.
Th--- debate in the Commons was re
markably quiet when the issues at stake
■were so tremendous.' The voices of the
leaders were scarcely raised above a con
versational tone- Applause was fairly
divided Put-mil Liberals and Utiionisits,
and there were {ayr evidences of intense
excitement. Men on both sides con
fessed afterward that it was an irre
pressible conflict and that the country
must decide It when the conference had
been a failure and the resource* of di
plomacy and royal influence in favor of
a statesmanlike concordat had been
exhausted. Great ron nee was ex
pressed by members of both parties In
the result of the ejections, but it was
less artificial on the Liberal side than
among the Unionist?. Optimists among:
the "Radicals declared that they would
win thirty or forty seats before Christ
mas. With Mr. Lloyd-Georsre and
"Winston Churchill conducting a popular
canvass, certainly practical electioneer;
ing- has begun on a large scale, with
pledges for payment of members and
expansion of the list of old age pension
ers and the probability of fresh conces
sions next vreeK to the labor party and
possibly to the suffragettes, who have
bean holding ftigrh carnival in Parlia
ment Square throughout the day and
making martyrs of themselves in Sam
boyant style.
Mr. Asquith will open the Liberal cam
paign with a speech at the National Lib
eral Club to-morrow, and in it he is ex
pected to outline the government's policy
at length.
PREMIER ANNOUNCES PLANS
Asqnith ! s Statement to the Com
mons — Attack by Balfour.
[By the Associated Press.]
London. Nov. I"!.— Premier isQuith an
nounced in the House of Cornnons to-day
that it is the intention of th» government
to pass the essential features of the budget
—namely. th» income tax, tfa duty and
sinking fund provision? — r«mov° the paujVr
disqualification for old age. pensions and
dissolve Parliament on November 2? s>ho'ila
the lords in th» meantime reject the veto
bill.
In presenting this programme Mr. As
rjuith said he had hoped up to tin) last mo
ment that the veto conference wruld reach
a settlement. There never had ben a more
honest or more, sustained attempt by men
of strong and confiictinsir convtctiins to find
« basis of aereement on which to t>uil«l a
structure promising stability aiul endur
ance, to« declared.
In view of the failure of a conference,
Mr. Asquith said It would be useless to at
tempt to hammer out an agreement In tho
present Parliament to the accompaniment
of th« Jin of party collision.
"The result Is that v.r revert to a state
of war," declared the Premier, who con
tinued: "The lords will have in oppor
tunity of saying 'yes' or 'no' tc the gov
ernment's veto bill in tho coming week.
There is no question of anietilment or
transformation. It i* a questbn of ac
ceptance o- rejection. The time, has com«
for thts controversy. wlii<h obstructs the
whole path of progressive legislation, to be
Rent for final, decisive arbitrament to the
national tribunal."
Mr. Asquith denied the assertion of the
Conservatives that the government was
acting under pressure, saying ho under
stood that the charge was that pressure
wan being aiHillert "by the sinister hand of
the black angel of this polltl--al drama,. Mr.
Redmond."
Legislation Government Desires.
Tho Premier then detailed th«» legislation
which the government proposed to pass i.«-.
fore the dissolution of Parliament, and said
that ii would bo moainarj to appropriate
I^.'^l.ono to carry out the provisions* of tha
act removing th<! pauper disqualification
lrom eld n^e pasajonayai "<• ■ io*>e-i by
promising that if U>e government obtained

Georse Nicoll Barnes, a labor leader, ex
pressed the revolt of the Labor men aarainst
the government. It had failed, he de
clared, to meet. the demand for immediate
legislation to reverse the Osborne Judg
ment. The Labor men. he "said, were al
together dissatisfied with the Premier's
suggestion for the payment of \ member?
of the House of Commons as a palliative,
for tho wrongs sustained by the trades
unions through the Osborne Judgment. th*»
Labor party, Mr. Barnes added,' believed
that the government/?; conduct, of the busi
ness of the House and the country had
not been such ■as to justify giving the
Ministry a free hand, and the I^ahor mem
bers would abstain from voting If a vote
■was taken.
If, as expected, election writs are issued
on November 2S the first possible day fof
nominations will be December 2, and the
first for pollings December 3.
"The Times's" Dublin correspondent says
that Mr. Asqulth's plan for the payment
of members of the House of Commons and
the losses of trade unions by the Osborne
Judgment would bring forward a great
number of independent candidates at all
the Irish elections and ? hatter the present
discipline of the Nationalist party.
IRISHMEN SAY FAREWELL
Devlin and Boyle Make Last
Home Rule Speeches Here.
The last of the visiting Irish delegates
who came to this country some months
ago, intent on spreading the. glad tidings
of Home Rule for Ireland, addressed their
countrymen for the last time at the Hoff
man House last night. Joseph Devlin and
Daniel Boyle were the two patriotic sons
of the "ould country" to make their fare
well bow before embarking to-day for Erin,
and the place they selected seemed pecu
liarly fittlng-the green trimmed roof gar
den atop of the Hoffman House.
Devlin and Boyle are going back to Ire
land at the behest of John E. Redmond,
who sent a cable message to the two M.
P.'s yesteraay to be oil . hand In time to
vote at the comirur election. The situation
in Ireland is regarded as most propitious
for Home Rale by ' these members of the
Nationalist party, and Devlin and Boyle
aro prepared to do their utmost in the
cause.
The leave taking "was rather an expres
sion of the hopes and ambitions of the re
turning patriots than anything else. Dev
lin, the first to mount the speaker's plat
form, confined himself to rosy prophecies,
tinged with greenish shades, as.tovhat
the party was going to do to the ancient
House of Lords when the crucial test came.
Mr Boyle ably seconded every s«itimeat
of* bis colleague, for wbJcb he received the
enthusiastic encouragement of the audi
ence. The fighters for Home Rule will
leave her© for Ireland this noon on the
White Star liner Baltic

SUFFRAGEnES IN if
Thousand Strong, They Swoop
Down on British Parliament.
SAVAGE BATTLE WITH POLICE
116 of Mrs. Pankhurst's Follow- ;
ers Arrested — Mr. Asqnith
Sidesteps Deputation.
London. Nov. 18. — The militant suffra
gettes reopened hostilities agatnst the gov
ernment to-day, and, marching one thou
sand strong on the Parliament buildings,
gave the police a lively light. The women, ;
many of whom were placed under arrest,
were led by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. ]
The suffragettes had determined it possi
ble to force th* j-olice cordon about th«
House of Commons, and. reaching Premier
Asquith, to insist upon the Introduction of
a woman's suffrage bill. The police, how
ever, were too strongly intrenched, and the
vomen, ■ who tried every means in their
power to break the line, were thrown back.
Repeatedly they retired breathless and
disshevelled. Only to have their places on
the lighting line taken by reserves.
The police were ordered to make as few
arrests as possible; but by 4 o'clock eighty
two of the *uffra&«ttes and their support
ers were in police cells.
Daring the battle a constable was badly
sashed across the hand, apparently by a
knife blade. This was the only blood let
ting. Among the suffragettes arrested was
Ann Martm, of Nevada.
After a prolonged struggle tho police
cleared Parliament Square, and three of
the leaders of tho demonstration, beaded
by Mr?. Pankhurst. were allowed, to enter
the lobby of the chamber, where they were
informed by Mr. Asquith's secretary . that
the Premier refused to see them, and that
trere was no chance for » suffrage bill to
be frss^nted at th* p>>-s»^nt s*»«ston.
After the women hail exhausted them
selves the arrests occurred with monoto-;
nous regularity. The women presented a
sorry spectacle when, the battle was over.
The dresses of many were- torn and their
hair was dishevelled. Hats, handbags and
bits of feminine lpparel and torn banners
Uttered the ground.
Before the House of Commons bad ad
journed for the day US sufErag&ttes. and
their supporter? had been. $*Nt to jail.
It appears that Mr. Asquith had a. nar
row escape from tjie irate, deputation which
was admitted to the lobby. Mrs. Pank
hurst and two others were conversing with
his secretary when the Premier passed
through . th«t room. Happily for him, Ml
women failed to recognize th* snraister, who
at sight of the suffragettes quickly sought
safety in. the House of Commons.
This evening all of the 116 suffragettes.
Including Grace Johnson, of Buffalo, -.vera
released on Bail. They will be arraigned
in the Bow street police court to-morrow
morning.
