i : the Sul yi i SUBWAY AIR Humidity Causes Wretched Atmospheric Conditions in Tunnel, —— MANY QUIT THE TRAINS, Continue Their Journeys In Sur- face or “L” Cars and Pay Extra Fare. NO PLANS FOR ANY RELIEF. Although More Humid Days May Be Expected During the Summer Of- ficlaia Are Not Taking Action, ecstlerpieen During the past three humid days) atmospheric conditions in the Subway | have been of such a character as to @ctually force patrong to seek surface transit to escape the noxious, dank and damp air of the tunnel, ‘A cellar-like atmosphere has pervaded the long, dark travel tubes. The con- fined odor observed in the cars them-| felves was not relieved even when ihe @ar, windows were thrown open, Ins | pteud of the rushing trains causing a) ourrent of fresh air, as was predicted they would, the cars fled with the Worse air of the tunnel itself, With the clouds hanging low and @ense to-day and the outer world Wrapped in a dlanket of fog and a Fising temperature, the conditions in the Subway were actually distressing.

In either case me was lost and fa ail cases inconvenience of being forced to strurzle into an already over- Stowded elevated train or surface car fwas encountered. To these extents did the bad air in the Subway operate to- day. Last night when the masses were Feturning to their homes the conditions Were equally bad. In fact during the fush hours the presence of thousands of breathing humans in the Subway added Yo the burdens which the bad uir was @lready carrying, with the result that Women grew faint because of the lack Of oxygen, Similar trials were experienced by the ®ubway travellers to-day, and as the Hoon hour approached it was observed that the Subway air became even more oppressive with the increased humidity 4n the outer air, As one passenger ex- Pressed {t, the air was like wet steam Jaden with objectionable heavy odors. Doing Nothing to Improve It, With these conditions inevitable with the recurrence of days of dampness and Moisture during the coming summer, the oMicials are Uoing nothing to make the Bubway air breathable or endurable The officials have not taken up or Caused to be taken up a siudy of the bituation, No means of adequate ventl- lation for operation during the humid @ays to come has bven devised, and When Inquiry 1s made at the office of the Management the report of this or that professor who for a more or lesa liberal fee maile tests of Subway alr is handed fo the Inquisitor, ‘The management says H Is pure because aw ave dt ds, and that el ts the offices of President Frank Hed- Yey, Vice-President i, \P.

One of Prestdent Melien's veteran en- gines on the New Haven road starved to pull out of Fordham to-day when auddenly something cracked, there was a wheeze, a last defiant snort and the life breath went out of the old junk pile, Other veteran engines, drawing decrepit old care full of careworn com- muters, piled up behind until there were ten traine full of them. The entire road was blocked for hours while the New Haven engine surgeons vainly tried to force the vital spark back into the worn out old frame. Meanwhile the commuters walked across lots and came downtown on trolley cars and the elevated railroads. They haven't discovered yet what hap- pened to the old engine, Coming down the line the old boy waa sprightly enough, cracking his worn old parte to- gether cheerfully and rattling along as usual, On the New Haven the com- muters at a station note the approach ot a train by the rattle, Each Engine Has Own Rattle.
