He said that he did not concur in the intemperate criticism which} has been displayed against the Railroad Commission. He said that the situa- | tion In Brooklyn was unbearable. j “Women and children are trampled upon and shamefully treated. Franchises are regarded as very valuable all over the country, and in return the people demand reasonable and proper facilities. It is impos- sible to present the case of the people in a day, or a week, or a month.| There {6 a general disregard of comfort or safety of the people. The ‘equipment is good, but there are not enough cars.” INTOLERABLE CONDITIONS PREVAIL. i Mr. Steele was foliowed by Abner 8. Hoight, President of the Citizens’ | Union. Mr. Holght said that the railroad facilitiés in Brooklyn were never | as lax as now. He sald: “No matter how many bridges or tunnols may be | built in the next twenty years, the situation will be as intolerable. “We insist that cars enough shall be run during the non-rush hours to provide seats, We insist that cars shall be run during the evening, enough to provide people with seats. It 1s an infringement on our rights as citizens that mail cars and express cars and other cars of that sort are run during the rush hours, The method of running this road seems to me a meximum and failing, we must go to the Legislature. Failing there, the people must take the matter into thelr own hands by means of municipal ownership. Half fare only should be charged to people standing during rush hours. Mr. Hoight concluded by appealing to the Rallroad Commission to ex- Charles A. Corwin and John L, Wells appeared as counsel for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Mr. Corwin sald that the Brooklyn Rapid Tran- sit was doing all in its power to provide proper transit. HERE ARE SOME JAMMED CARS. | A gentleman in the back of tHe hall said he came down in a car this) morning which registered 92 passengers. j “IT beat you,” said Chairman Cole. “The car I came down on this morning at 9.45 carried 103 passengers.” “I rode on one that carried 127,” shouted another Brooklynite. ‘The seating capacity of the average car is about 60 passengers. Chairman Cole then requested Judge Abraham F. Dalley, as counsel for the complainants, to put his witnesses on the stand and get down to business In a systematic way. Judge Dailey called Benjamin F. Lair, a) lawyer, living at No. 195 Greene avenue. Mr. Lair complained bitterly of cars full of passengers that passed by on the Greene avenue line without making stops. “Even on Sundays the cars are so crowded that seats cannot be se-| cured,” he said. “I have taken a Fifth avenue car in Manhattan when! passengers were standing. These cars crawl along Fulton atreet, through | the shopping district, where women were crowded on until there was not room for another passenger. CROWDED WORSE THAN CATTLE. Charles M. Chadwick, Chairman of the Committee of Fifty, living at No. 692 Willoughby avenue, testified to his experience. He said people were crowded into cars worse than cattle. He had been frequently carried | He had been thrown by the sudden starting and stopping} of cars. Marcy avenue cars were always jammed. “I think if the ‘L’ road trains were doubled much relief would follow. Much of the crush on the surface roads would be relieved. I belleve it is within the power of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit to furnish better facilities during non-rush hours from this minute,” E. M. Roberts, manufacturer, living at No. 594 Jefferson avenue,. fol- lowed Mr. Chadwick In the witness chair. He complained of the transfer system, which forced the rush all in one direction. Especially was this true of the Nostrand avenue line, “What has been your experience as to heat on the cara?” was asked, “I don't know what heat is on the cars. I think they could make ice in most of them," he replied. Ludwig Nissen, manufacturer, living at No. 1897 Dean street, was the next witness. He said that on the Kings County Elevated Road he had frequently to wait ten minutes for a train between 7 and 8 o'clook in the evening. a) WHAT THE WOMEN SUFFER. Mr. Nissen recommended the extension of the rush-hour service. “The conditions prevailing at present are absolutely immoral so far as women are concerned. You should see the children and women jammed in a crowd for ENS or ee nutes under conditios that are shameful.” “No one has @ more annoy} vite,” in Ghateeantonie ying experience than my own wife,” put Dr. George W. Brush, of No, 462 Ocean avenue, testified to his experi- ences on the Flatbush and Kings County lines, He sald it was very seldom that he could secure a seat even in the rush hours. > James L.

President McCarron, of the Manufacturers’ Associatio, who lives at No, 168 St. Mark's avenue, was the next witness. He said: ‘The great difficulty is that not enough trains are run on the ‘L' line to receive passengers discharged from the briage trains.

Meyer Cohen. the twelve-year-old boy who last Tuesday gave an example in the Children's Court of his adroltness at picking pockets, was paroled to-day by Justice Mayer, The boy thief must report each week to the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and his parents must move from their pres- ent home, at No. 36 Monroe street, to another part of the city. Benjamin Cohen, the boy's father, his mother and his elder brother were in court to-day. They were repre- sented by Lawyer Charles F. Howe, who told Justice Mayer that the family was eminently respectable and had never before had any trouble. The father was found to be an honest man and the brother regularly employed and honest. Known as “Kiddie Cohen.” Meyer Cohn was again called up be- fore the Justice and questioned. He repeated the story of his criminal ca- “I will be in a position to state where in the near future,” was the} answer. | “If we ran cars go that every one should be provided with seats, is it! not a fact that half the cars would be running with seats only half tilled?” | asked Mr, Wells. | “That is a condition which no Brooklynite ever expects to realize,” was! the retort. The crowd laughed. Mr. Wells frowned and safd he did not believe this was a humorous | proceeding, val “I was never more serjous in my life,” replied Mr. McCarro!l. | “You say cars are always crowded. the next car? “No, indeed, for you never know in Brooklyn when the next car comes along.’” | Mr. Wells soon gave Mr. McCarroll up as a bad job and he stopped questioning him. | i GUARD WORKS FOURTEEN HOURS A DAY. President Papst, of the Ocean Hill Board of Trade, a butcher, living | at No. 81 Sohmer street, told of the evils of travel on the Kings County | “L" road. i “On the train this morning,” he said “I asked a guard why he was not particular about calling out stations. ‘If you had to stand on this plat-| form for fourteen hours a day for $1.75 I guess you'd got a bit careless, too,’ the guard sald. : “What was the man's name?" asked Lawyer Collins. “No, no, no,” protested the spectators, ‘‘don't give the nam: Mr, Collins blushed. He said he merely wished to know because the una was lying. “No man works fourteen hours a day on that line,” he sald. Mr. Papst said the railroad facilities were so poor that rents have been! lowered and property greatly depreciated. | Chairman Cole said {t was bad for Brooklynites to proclaim this state | of affairs from the housetop because Jersey real estate speculators were ready to take advantage of the situation. “What are we to do?” asked Judge Dailey. these things up?” HE NEVER GETS A SEAT. Charles J. Edwards, of No. 399A Grand avenue, said that he never had been able to even stand comfortably on the cars during the rush hours, and suggested the putting on of more cars as a means of relief. Adolph Kindeh a lawyer, graphically described the horrors of the transfer system at the loop in East New York. B. R, T.

It was last Tuesday that he was ar- raigned in the court on a charge of stealing the pocketbook of Ida Klapper in Grand street. He pleaded guilty to the charge and astonished the Court by showing how easy {t Is for an adroit boy to pick a woman's pocket or loot a woman's chatelaine bag. A Woman in the court-room allowed him to demonstrate on her, end 80 quickly and quietly did he strip every- thing from the bag that his moyements hardly caught the eyes of the Judge. Boy’s Remarkable Story. When questioned to-day by an Even- ing World reporter as to his life as a pickpocket, the strange young criminal, with his big brown eyes and pink and white complexion, told a remarkable story. “I don't belong to no gang," he pro- tested. ‘I just know @ lot of fellows who make all kinds of coin grabbing for pocket books. Why, it's dead easy, Inever had to be showed but once. One of us fellers walks in front of the lady, while the other kid grabs for her bag. He opens it quick and grabs whatever's on top. Then ne nanda it quick to the third fel- ler, whats back of him, and walks along as If nothing had happened. The fellow with the dough runs, for no one knows he's in the bunch. ‘Then we all meet and the dough’s divided, “We don't Wy pocket-books as much as the kind of women carry in their hands or hanging to thelr belts, They're easy.

Inspector Thompson, with Capts. Wat- son Vreedenburg, ‘Theron Copeland, William Schulte and William Brown and a few sergeants, had been selected by Commissioner Partridge as requiring the attention of the police surgeons. They were among the oldest men on the force, and there had deen rumors of their physical disability. If anything angers Inspector Thomp- eon it is the intimation that he is a physical wreck.
