YERUSH IS NOW WORSE THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN. “One Man Hurt and Three Ar- rests Made—No Relief in Sight Until New Bridge Is Completed. Bince the new system of looping the ears into the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge has been in operation the crush during the rush hours at night 1s worse than ever, principally because the crowds are packed into such a small space by the southerly roadway, and also because the Brook- lyn Rapid Transit Company fills every Gvallable space of each car with a passenger. Nearly every night some one is hurt, and many a mun or wo- man goes home with one or more bruises, Last night's record was one man so severely injured that he had to be at tended by an ambulance surgeon, and three others arrestgd for jabbing men and women in the ribs, The injured man is Deputy Sheriff Charles Fagin, of No. 323% Evergreen avenue, Brooklyn, He went to the outer fringe of the line established to Keep the crowds between two ‘pillars and tried to board a De Kalb avenue car as it swept across the covered PD The crowd pushed and shoved and he fell. He was dragged twenty feet and trampled upon, The men arraigned to-day were Louis Mussig, of No, 19 Knickerbocker ave- nue, who knooked down a girl while trying to climb over the tallboard of a car; Martin Rosenblit, of No, 22 street, and Morris Hermann, of No, %05 Moore street. They climbed on a oar before it stopped and swept several woman off their feet. Commissioner George BD, Best said to- day that he hoped within a short time to further one of several plans he has under consideration to relieve the crush @t the trolley terminii between the rush hours of 6 end 7 P. M. “Brom now on,” the Commission- er said, “I am going to devote my attention to that problem. I am will- ing to confess that it grows worse each day.

Houlihan an Overdose of Medicine and) by Mistake He Was Taken to Bellevue, Fred F. Houlihan, the brilliant young song writer and ¢omposer, whose {lines in Bellevue Hospital last week was re- ported in the press, seems to have been the unfortunate victim of a series of Gistressing circumstances, Finding him, in the insane pavilion, The Evening World geporter visited his home, No, 33 East Thirty-ninth street, where he interviewed Mrs. Houlfhan, a sweet-faced bride of only a fow weeks. She said her brilliant husband, who 1s only twenty-three, had in his ambi- tion been overworked, Perhaps she did not know he was in the pavilion for observation. At any rate, Mr. Houlihan was out and all right the very next day, except for @ little soreness over his odd mis- adventure, It seems his system had got rum down and he was suffering with malaria. Wishing to take his medfcine he called the landlady and directéd her to pour one spoonful of the medicine tn -four of water for his dose, She reversed the formula, and four spoonfuls of the. medicine went down his throat. It was too much for him and made him sick and threw him into a spasm, Some one summoned « physician, and he’ sent the song writer to the hospital. Through another mistake he was placed In the insane ward. But a stomach pump and a night's sleep righted him, and he left the pital at 10 o'clock next morning, a duy later was at work as usua and POPE KNIHTS BALTIMORE MA Michael Jenkins, One of the Leading Financiers of the Maryland City.
