" Reporters flocked to'the general offices of the “I.” road system to learn why and wherefore of the failure of the “third-rail” system to live up the promises heralded for it.

SURFACE CARS HELP. As soon as the tle-up of the elevated | roads was apparent the Metropolitan at- tempted to fill the gap by running out sufficient surface cara to comfortably carry the patrons of the "T.* But it was late and the crews to han- dle the cars could not be found. Con- sequently the addition of extra cars to the uaual all-night service of the sur- face rcids was imperceptible. Every car was packed and jammed to the platforms, and although outside the weather was cold, with sleet and snow and a raw wind, men hung on wherever they could. As the day wore on and the regular tide of travel set in locomotives were brought into requisition, but the opera- tion was slow, and all the stations up- town were jammed, even the stairways being crowded. Many who could not board cars and were unable to make their way downtown tn the storm turned back home, to make another attempt later, 4ne ordinary condition of Jammed cars waa exaggerated, and those who did get transportation suffered for it, but they, had the satisfaction of making the trip and getting to thelr places of business. eee BRONX RESIDENTS HAD A HARD TIME OF IT. ‘The first “I. train to come out of the Bronx got across the Harlem Bridge at 7 o'clock. It was loaded to the very guards with passengers, It was an hour and a half before the next train got across. The New York Central got the over- flow which the trolley cars couldn't take. It was sald that the road carried In more persons on {ts suburban cars than ft has since the 1888 blizzard, when every kind of local transportation com- pany waa out of business. It took one train one hour and twenty minutes to get from One Hundred and Sixty-ninth wtreet to the Harlem River. The ordi- nary running time is thirty minutes. One of the worst features about the tle-up both in the Bronx and Manhat- tan was the persistence with which the ticket-sellers continued to dispose of Uckets, The City Hall station was so jammed with passengers from Brook- lyn at 7.30 o'clock this morning that the police interfered and refused to al- low “any more persons to mount the The poor people stood there In the biting wind and stinging snow, they did for that matter on every tion in town, waiting for the ota: trains that moved not at ail or so rarely that they made no impreasion on the great crowds. —— VICE-PRESIDENT SKITT TAKES ACTIVE HAND, At the offices of the Manhattan Ttall- way Company there was much wor Vice-President Skitt, who Is the actty: manager of the system, was out on the road somewhere, trying to have the trains moved, and the other officials connected with the operating depart- ment had been sent to various points to work under his direction, Assistant Supérintendent Grape was in charge of the office, He seemed greatly astonished that there had been a tle-up of all the line: ‘Now, really, you know," he sald, “this is the first I heard of it. Has there been a delay? I do not think it could amount to much. Oh, heavens, no; the third rail is an immense success, and while of courae installing and operating it costs us @ great deal more than the old RISA we are determined to sacrifice dividens to give the people a fine serv- ioe ay Ee Mr, crepe was bon ie ho © ing scores of men, who were “ the ‘hall Waiting, and was sendin; pany for 8 mechanical te~ it Ra) fry “EHS WORLD: LOOKING ACROSS THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE FROVU THE PULITZER BUILDING AS THE BLIZZARD RAGED. dovice which would scraps the ice and snow off of the third rail in front of the shoes which pick up the current, he sald he believed that such was true. jbut did not believe any of them had | delivered, “Is it not a fect that in planning for |the third rail company neglec plan for the device to keep the rail clear and that that negligence {Is the cause of ineonventence to the » Teally, I did not know the pub- Ho had ‘been put to any inconvenience.” This was the first severe test of the new third rail.

The first electric trains on the Sixth avenue Ine ran only to Fifty-olghth street in September.

On lines running out ofthe city the number of cars waa reduced. More than half of the cars were taken from the Bergen Reach Ine, and the same was true with the Coney Island’ and Bath Leach, roads.
