Deag, who has been the manager of Fox's theater in New Brit- win for the past year, has resigned and has been succeeded by Charles Boone. When seen by a representative of the Herald last evening. Mr. Dean had | the following to say: “Yes, it is true | that I have resigned as the manager of Fox's. I sent in my resignation some time ago, to take effect today, | the twelfth. Although relinquishing the position as local representative, I have not entirely severed my relation- shp with the Fox interests, which I might add have always been the plea: Antest, f I have been in charge of several houses for Mr. Fox an' jav a handled theatres for the Keith people. I have been tied dowu Piviy viva iy for more jhan four years, without a ! vacation, not even one day off, Sun- days dacluded, and have come to the tonclusion that I owe myself a little | rest. I have been in New Britain for the past year and have made a host of | friends and have decided that it ll‘ A pretty good city to locate in,and have | made up my mind to make it the per- | rpanent home of Mrs. Dean und my- self. ,“As to my immediate future plans I prefer to not discuss them at present Yime I have some personal interests in California and may, after the holi- days, take a trip out there for a few weeks and then return to New Britain “A rather alluring proposition has been made to me by local interests, and which 1 am giving very though ful and serious consideration, and if the deal is consummated, I wil, at the proper time, and when authorized by my associates, be pleased to issue a statement that will more than interest the New Britain public, but for the present I mean to have a good and well earned rest, and right here in lit- tle old New Britain.” LAST NIGHT OF FAIR Foresters’ Nine-Day Event Wil Be # Terminated Tonight at Bardeck's YHall—Talented Actors Secured.

New York, Dec 13.—A report that Belvin W. Maynard, “the flying par- son,” had started by alrplane for Worcester, Mass., yesterday and neither arrived there nor returned was disproved today. Lieut. Maynard announced he had been delayed in getting started to Worcester and eventually had to give up his plan to make the flight. Last night when friends were alarmed for his safety the aviator. minister said., he was reposing quiet- ly at his little country place at Queens village on Long Island. Miles of Track Chicago, Dec. 13.—Forty feet under- ground Chicago has one of the mo'tt unique subway systewns in the world. Devoted entirely to the hauling or' freight, it keeps the congested loop district comparatively free of heavy traflic vehicles. Officeals of the tunnel company estimate more than 6,000 trucks would have to pass through loop streets daily to duplicate the work done by the subway. | Over 62 miles of narrow gauge | track, 132 electric loccmotives and | 3,000 freight cars hauled 6,0000,000 | tons of merchandise and 230,000 tons | of coal last year. Scores of downtown office buildings and stores receive their freight direct from the railroad depots via the sub- way. Their coal comes by the same route, and at night the ashes are hauled away through the underground tunnels, to be dumped on the lake front where acres of land are re- claimed yearly. The ground on which the great new Field Museum, at the south end of Grant Park, is built, was a few years ago a part of the lake. The tunnel company filled it in with ashes. Another unusual service is the re- moval of dirt from building excava- tions. A shaft is sunk from the build- ing site to the tunnel level under the street. Workmen with wheel barrows dump the dirt down wne shaft where it falls into cars of a walting train, to be hauled to the lake front disposal station. i For handling merchandise, coal and ashes, electric elevators lift the sub- way’' cars from the tunnel level to stores and office buildings, whero they are emptied and refilled, and then lowered again to the tracks below. Under Every Street. The subway tracks underlay every street in the loop listrict covering a district of 22 blocks long and nine blocks wide, and in addition the net work of tunnels extends north under the river to the warehouse and rail- road district along North Water street, and west of the south branch of the river for six blocks rhrough the rail- road and factory district of the near west side. Four main receiving stations outside of the loop gather incoming merchan- dise for delivery to downtown build- ings, and distribute outgoing pack- ages for truck hauls to other parts of thy city. Every railroad station but one has connections, and freight and express billed from one station to another is transferred by the subway. In ad- dition every station but one has con- nections for sending mail to the post- office. Special trains of steel mail cars carry the sacks through the tun- nel. The freight cars used are four feet | wide and twelve feet long, while the | track has a two foot gauge. The mer- | chandise cars have a capacity of six | tons; ash and dirt cars hold three and one-half cubjc yards; and the coal cars have a capacity of four tons. Ap- proximately 2,000 shippers use the subway system. System All Electrical. The entire operation is electrical. A train dispatcher and telephones con- trol the movement of the trains. At every outlet to a downtown building an employee is stationed to operate the lifting efévators, réceive and dis- patch cars, and act as agent for the compan) The company employs more than 600 men. . One of the advaniages of the tun- nel, particularly in the transportation of refrigerated and other perishable products is said to be the even tem- perature, which remains constant at 55 degrees the year around. Ventil- ating apparatus keeps a constant flow of fresh air circuldxing through the system, while 72 electric pumps re- move what water seeps in. Elaborate precautions have been tak- en to prevent flooding of the tunnel when fires break out in one of the connecting buildings. Water tight doors shut off the elevator shafts so that the tons of water which firemen pour onto a fire cannot reach the main system. ° The subway was started in 1901 and completed in 1909, Thirty stores, thirty office buildings, three public buildings, six mail connections with mail order houses, branches to 27 railroad stations, four public freight stations, 2 coal yards and the refuse disposal outlet are among the connec- tions served.

STANLEY WORKERS BESTED BY RULERS Family Qnarrel Results in Win for Elm Street Quintet In the last five minutes of play the Stanley Rule and Level quintet speed- ed up Saturday night in its game with the Stanley works five and pushed their score to a six point lead after the Butt-makers had passed the Rulers for the first time during the contest at tho 18 point mark. With the score 18 to 17 in favor of the Stanley Works, the Rulers called for a rest period, atter which they re- newed the attack with a flash of speed that took the Stanley Works club off its feet. Hildebrand, who starred last year with the Corbin quintet was much in evidence ror the winning club. He played a snappy game at guard and in addition tossed the ball for six points for the Rule shop club The score ended in a 25 to 21 victery for the Elm street hoop tossers. S. R &L 8. W. Howe W.
