Enright Promises Traffic <

Police Commissioner Tel!?
Grand July of Plans to In?
crease Protection
Police Commissioner Enright was a
witness before the Queens County
Grand Jury in Long Island City yes?
terday. After his testimony the grand
jury, which has been inquiring into
police conditions in the county, handed
up a presentment praising the police,
but recommending tnat the force be in
"creased, so that more policemen could
be assigned to Queens.
The Police Commissioner said, after
leaving the grand jury room, that the
jurors were seeking information as to
methods of improving police protec?
tion in Queens, and that he had given
it to them. He told the grand jurors
that there was less lawbreaking in the
county at present than in 1917, which
he regarded as a "par" year, because
of the fact that it had no after-war
problems for the police, but that a fur?
ther improvement could be made if
more policemen were available.
Chief Enright told the jury that he
intended' to establish a traffic squad in
Queens.

than one quarter of the entire internal
revenue collected during the fiscal yeur
ended June 30 was taken in the State
of New York, according to n detailed
statement made by the Bureau of in?
ternal Revenue to-day.
Of income and nrofit3 taxes New
York paid a total "of $1,106,010,878.21,
and miscellaneous taxes added $310,
923,397.61, making a total from that
state of $1,416,939,275.82.
The total internal revenue taxes col?
lected in the entire country amounted
to $5,410,284,874.90. This is the greatest
annual tax collection made by the
bureau since its establishment in 1862.
The cost of collection will approximate
55 cents for each $100.
Revenues received from income and

Lafayette Brings 958
Passengers From Havre
-.
; Japanese Baron, Mining En?
gineer, and His Wife on Board ;
Betrothed Pair Meet at Pier
The French liner Lafayette docked
| at Pier 57, North River, yesterday with
I 958 passengers. She sailed from Havre.
Among the first class cabin passen
' gers were Baron and Baroness Keikichi
Oshimoto, who have been on a pleasure
; jaunt through England, France, Ger
: many and Italy. The Baron is a min
ing engineer from Tokio. John G.
Agar, of 12 East Sixty-third Street, re
! turned with his two sons after visiting
' the grave of his boy, John G. jr., who
i was killed in France.
There were also the Baroness Vir
; ginia Nugent de Devlin, who has been
! for some time in Switzerland, and Miss
M. Simonds, of Washington, daughter
; of C. C. Calhoun.
Miss O. Nougarou arrived with her
j father from Perigord on an affair of
; the utmost importance. It so happened
? that Alexander Warring Woodruff, gen?
eral superintendent of the Union Pa
? cific Railroad Company, came from
? Omaha, Neb., and clamored at the gates
j of the pier on an errand of equal im
; portance. But it was "Judge" Smith, a
; ship news reporter, who led them into
! each other's arms and suggested sev?
eral churches where such important
: international affairs might be settled.
Mr. Woodruff wa3 a major in the
' A. E. P. and she was a Red Cross
' worker at Bordeaux.
The Lafayette came in command of
Captain Boisoon, commande* of La
Savoie, because of the illness of the
wife of Captain Roche, the regular cap
; tain of the Lafayette.

Connecticut's \
Cities Facing
Trolley Tie-Up
Car Company, After Sus*
pending Service in Bridge?
port to Fight Busses,
Threatens Similar Action
Traffic Handled Better
Motor Vehicles Charge F!at
5-Cent Rate; Congestion
Reduced; No Accidents
From a staff Correspondent
BRIDGEPORT. Conn., July 2(5.?The
Connecticut Company, which operates
the trolley lines in this city and other
cities of the state, started what is
thought ^,0 be a state-wide fight against
motor b?s competition to-day by sus- j
pending its service in this city.
Mayor Mead, of Ansonia, has been
notified that similar action might be
expected in that city if motor bus com?
petition continued, and announcements
to the same effect have been received i
by the Board of Aldermen of Water- j
bury and the Mayor of New Haven.
During the first week of the suspen?
sion of its service the company will j
pay its employees their usual wager,.
Thereafter they will be paid $21 a week
each.
Not one of the company's 1C5 cara
in this city moved from the barns to?
day.
Instead, there were about 450 busses
traversing the streets, about 200 of
which had been brought into the city
during the night from New York. Bos- j
ton, New Haven, Hartford and Water- j
bury.
Heretofore, the busses, operated at aJ
five-cent fare and with the approval ofl
city officials, have been running in op- !
position to the trolley cars. Increasing !
cost of operation compelled the trolley
company to charge a six-cent minimum '
fare, which ranged upward to twelve :
| cents, according to the distance a pas- ?
senger was carried.
Officials of the trolley company have
been trying to have the minimum fare !
increased to 7 cents. They have warned '
the city that their service in the long
run would be more economical than
that given by the busses, which even?
tually would raise their rates, they
said, as the depreciation on a bus
through the wear and tear of constant
service would be greater than in the
case of a trolley car, and there would
be no corresponding decrease in over?
head expenses.
Busses Carry 80,000
With the number of its busses, almost
doubled overnight, however, the bus
company handled the rush-hour crowds
and the normal passenger traffic with?
out difficulty or accident. More than
80,000 persons were carried, most of
factory workers, who demanded
. _tion at about the same hour,
morning and night.
Policemen were under instructions to
observe the results of the first trolley
less day and make a report to Mayor
Clifford' B. Wilson and the bus com?
panies. Their report contained the fol?
lowing observations:
Fewer persons were standing in the !
busses than ordinarily were hanging to
trolley car straps.
Busses charged a flat rate of 5 cents
a passenger, regardless of the distance
traversed.
Street noises were diminished be?
cause of the absence of the trolley cars.
Congestion was reduced and passen?
gers reached their destinations more
; promptly than when trolley cars were ?
1 in use. Streets about a factory which
i turns out eight thousand employees
' when the 5 o'clock whistle sounds were
? cleared at 5:10, whereas they had been
thronged until 5:30 when the em?
ployees relied upon trolley cars to take
' them home.
So Accidents Reported
No accidents were reported.
"No disorder, no confusion, no con
: gestion and no accidents?that about
! sums it up," said Chief of Police
Fianigan.
The editorial comment of "The
Bridgeport Post" in its final edition to- :
day was:
"If the trolley company had foreseen ;
how little it would be missed on the ?
first morning of its withdrawal, would ?
it have risked the experiment quite
so boldly?
"There is but one conclusion safely .
to be predicted from the first day's ?
experiment and that is that the Con
necticut company will go slow about |
making the same venture in any other !
Connecticut city. Burning one's
bridgea behind is a dangerous gamble."
Officials of the trolley company re?
mained unshaken in their conviction :
that the people of Bridgeport event?
ually would find the substitution of
j busses for trolley cars an expensive
instead of an economical project.
It was announced that representa
; tives of the trolley company would ap
! pear before the Public Utilities Com
; mission at Hartford Thursday with a i
?petition for permission to increase the
' minimum fare in Bridgeport to 7
?cents. The executive committee of the ;
?Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce,
?which had intended <o send represent
! atives to the hearing, decided against
! doing so because of the failure of the
! company to operate cars to-day.
Mayor Wilson conferred to-night ;
! with the members of a commission
appointed by him to consider the sit?
uation. Lucius S. Stores, president of !
j the Connecticut company, announced
two weeks ago that he would stop hi3
service unless the competing bus lines
were removed. The Common Council
subsequently passed an ordinance for?
bidding bus competition. This ordi?
nance was declared by the Supreme
Court to be illegal.
The prospects are that the council at

Its session next Monday night will
tarnend the ordinance so that it will
'stand. Public sentiment in favor of
the continuance of the bus system is
said to be so great that, the ordinance
may be set aside even though it stands
the final test of the courts.
The Connecticut Company formerly
was part of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad. The railroad was
ordered by the Federal courts to dis?
pose of its trolley holdings. The courts
placed the trolley property in the hands
of a board of trustees, headed by
Charles F. Sanford, who is president
of the Bridgeport First National Bank.
The trustees were ordered to sell the
property, but during the war they ob?
tained an extension of time, which had
not yet terminated.
$25,000 Stolen;
Four Men Shot in
2 Chicago Hold-Ups
-
Express Messengers and 5
Bandits Fight as Crowds
Look On; Robbers Carry
Off 2 Wounded in Auto
CHICAGO, July 26. ? Two bandits
and two express company paymasters
were shot, one of the latter probably
fatally, and $25,000 stolen in two dar?
ing pay roll robberies on the West Ride
within twenty minutes of each other
this afternoon. All of the bandits
escaped.
Five bandits in a touring car fought
with three express company mes?
sengers in fremt of the Hart, Schaffner
& Marx clothing factory, in the heart
of the densely populated West Side,
and escaped with a steel box contain?
ing $10,UU0 after two of their number
had been wounded.
More than fifty shots were exchanged
in the fight, while two hundred pedes?
trians and employees of the factory
looked on. George Ilaubrock, one o?
the express paymasters, was phot
through the head and is not expected
to live. Another messenger, Charles
Gaude, was wounded in the leg.
After Ilaubrock fell one of the rob?
bers grabbed the box, but was shot
down by Gaud?. A second bandit
snatched up the money and threw it
into the car, but was shot before he
could follow and collapsed across the
running board. His companions dragged
the other wounded roan into the ma?
chine and it dashed off with ono in?
jured man clinging to the running
beard.
Shortly after the first hold-up three
armed men drove up to the Peterson
Machine Works, almost at the edge of
the Loop District, and took $15,000
from Abe Nelson, a saloonkeeper.
CENTRAL FALLS, P.. I., July 26.?
The Credit Union Fran?aise Bank was
held up to-day by five robbers, who
fled in* an automobile with $il,000.
Omer Collette, the cashier, said four
men entered the bank soon after he
opened the doors, and one asked for
$10 in change. The cashier opened the
safe t?) get it and was ordered to hold
up his hands. The men then bound
him to a chair and gagged him and
secured the $11,000.
Firemen Rescue
A u to is t From Mo b
Driver Threatened by a
Crowd of 2,000 When
Car Kills Shoemaker
Lieutenant Anthony J. Poggi, of En?
gine company No. 17, and a half dozen
of his nremen rescued a motor car
driver from a mob of 2,000 men at 7
o'clock last evening after an auto ac?
cident in which Frank Bloomberg, a
shoemaker, fifty, was run down and
killed.
Charles Gersewitz, of 30 Willett
Street, driver of the car, was proceed?
ing north on Ludiow Street, near De
Lancey Street, as Bloomberg was
crossing the thoroughfare. The fender
of the car hit Bloomberg and one of
the wheels passed over him.
Hundreds of persons were crowding
their way toward the Williamsburg
bridge and a great crowd gathered
around Gersewitz's machine. The en?
gine house is a short distance away I
and Poggi ordered his men to rescue
Gersewitz. Poggi closed the doors of
the ene-ine house and this incensed j
those outside. A hundred men stormed j
the doors and demanded admittance.
Poggi notified the police of the Clinton
Street station and the reserves were
called to disperse the crowd. Gerse?
witz is held at the Clinton Street sta- |
tion on a charge of homicide.
Charles Banilouer, a shoemaker, of
50 Rivington Street, identified the body
of Bloomberg, who was his employee.
Bloomberg's home address was not
known to Banilouer. He is said to
have relatives in Newark.

Presidency. With a few exceptions, he
denied himself to all visitors. He spent
the day in his den on tho second floor
of Tail End, surrounded by a mass
of documents and notes, out of which
will be evolved the speech of accept?
ance. At Tail End it was said that
I he began upon references to industrial

The League of Nations reference is
to be left to the last, it was under?

and perhaps others before arriving at

pier. The army athletes were first,
| then followed the girl swimmers headed .
! by Miss Irene Guest. Miss Helen
Meany, Miss Margaret Woodbridge and
Miss " Ethelda Bleibtrey. The men
swimmers, boxers, fencers, wrestlers
and track and field men followed in the |
order named. Then came the thou- ,
I s: nds of relatives and admirers, parad- '
ing after the column of athletes and
? following on the sidewalks, while hun
i dreds of necks were craned out of
? windows to get a last glimpse of the ;
i team. Three bands provided the ]
1 music.
Arriving at the pier the team went i
| aboard a government boat and Were >
j taken to Pier 4, Hobokan, sailing at j
l 4:10 o'clock. |
The team is composed of 108 track :
and field men, 48 swimmers, 24 wrest- '
le '-, 22 boxers, 20 fencers and 8 bike j
When the curtain in the Manhattan ;
Opera House was raised at 12:15 the
athh tes, assembled on the stage, were i
grei ted by a wildly cheering mass
, of humanity, which packed the theater'
; to capacity, cluttering up the aisles and
', every inch of available standing space.
When the din of the ovation had s'Jb
! sided the ceremonies were opened by
! Mr. Kirby, who gave a brief account
i of the management and financial con
[ dition of the team. He said that $25.
000 was still needed to meet financial
obligations, but that had been guaran
t( ed, and every member of the team
i would be taken to Belgium. Mr. Kirby
j also said that he expected a S10.000
contribution from the New York Stock
! Exchange and a large sum from Phila
i delphia, which city, he said, has been
'? backward in subscribing to the fund.
Then came the reading of the name
of each athlete on the team, with the
! crowd applauding every announcement.
I The demonstration accorded Sam La
gonia, of the Bxonxdale A. C, champion
middleweight boxer of America, lasted
one minute and ten seconds, and La
; gonia was compelled to stand up twice
: and acknowledge the plaudits.
Governors Send Messages
Telegrams from the Governors of
twenty states and from other state and
'? national officials were read. Prominent
1 among the well-wishers were Governors
| Cox, Lowden, Smith and Coolidge. In
! a letter to the committee, Mayor Hylan
, also spoke in glowing terms of the
! team and extended his best wishes for
its success.
Commissioner. Murray Hulbert, a
member of the Olympic Committee, is
s'ud to have arranged for the use of
; the steamship Matioka. Mr. Hulbert
sailed for Antwerp on the Finland las*
; week. President Kirby will make the
i trip on the Aquitania next Saturday,
; remaining over to close up the commit
Lee's business.
One of the army officers in charge of
? fitting up the transport said after the
; vessel had sailed :
"The athletes will be below deck, but
! each will have as much space as was
i allotted three soldiers when the ship
' was used for transport purposes. Car
! pets have been laid in each berth room
, and extra chairs placed there. The
decks will be free to the athletes at
all times for exercise, and the men j
will not be expected to go to their j
berths except to sleep."
This officer explained that in addi?
tion to the Olympic committee and the
petsonnel oncers of the army attached
to the expedition the Princess Jlatoika
will carry a number of army officers
who are going abroad on special duty.
Their quarters cannot be interfered
with, he said.
There wiil be no discrimination at
meal times, it was said. Mess Will be
served in the first cabin. The athletes
and army officers, including members
of the team selected from army ranks,
will dine together with no special re?
gard to the seating. A special staff of
cooks will supply the needs, however
delicate, of the athletes, and diet regu?
lations prescribed by the trainers will
be enforced strictly.
Prospects of Team
Before going aboard ship, Lawson
Robertson, one of the trairers of the
team, was asked to express his opinion
of the strength of the American entry.
"Our greatest strength is on the
track," he said. i4We should win the
sprints easily, but are not so strong
in the middlf distance events. How?
ever, Eby and Scott have an even
chance with the foreigners. Ray shouid
win the 1,500 meters. Backman, a Finn,
is the man the Americans will have to
beat in the 5,000 and 10,000 meter
races.
"The shot and the weights are ours,
but we will be lucky to get th:rd in
the javelin. In all other events, we
???ill also encounter stiff competition."
