EES ee of Rush Hours Despite the protestations made some time ago and the new platforms and loops that were instalied on M. hattan elde of the Brooklyn Bridge erush there both morning and evenin) fs as bad if not worse than ever. 5 far as the Brooklyn end is concerned nothing can be done to relieve the early morning crush until radical changes have been made in the way of tearing down time-worn partitions that | make little entrances and exits, scarce- ly wider in parts than those of an or- @inary theatre. This notwithstanding the fact that hundreds of thousands pass through them within a very few bours. On the Memhattan side there does mot seem to be any excuse beyond the parsimonious policy of the railroad company sametimes called the Brook- lyn Rotten Transit. Workmen have been engaged on the Bientattan end of the structure for several months. They added one wing of thirty feet on the north side, which | gave plenty of room to run cars as Tapidly as they could come into a sta- tion, and for a brief time they did 80. Abandoned the Improvement. * hen, to the surprise of the hundreds of thousands who are forced to use the bridge, the extra space seized, the oxed-up platforms and the other “‘im- provements” from which so much had been promised, were abandoned. ‘The passengers wondered until an ex- plamation was offered to-day to the ef- fect that the company did not intend to utilize the improvements until the heavy rush of the summer set in. The orush at the Manhattan side dur- ing the rush hours last night was ter- rific, and a number of women were on the verge of fainting. A single long strip of platform, along the centre of which opened up four stairways, each etotrway turning out a steady stream ———— QUEEN BESIDE -CORPSE IN AUTD Helena, of Italy, Carries Home Body of Marchioness of & Corsini. 7 ROME, March 9.—The Marchioness of Corsini (formerly Princess Barberint) was killed last evening by the overturn- ing of an automobile in which she was riding with her “husband, King Victor Enrranuel's Master of Horse.

Anyiow, ‘he crushing and crowding ts as ‘bad as ever, and the bridge hog, while not so much in evidence, Is still there The situation at the ‘Brooklyn end rs morning hours | is There are five railroad Mnes running to the bridge from practically avery seation of Brooklyn. ‘They run on such a shor: headway during the rush hours that frequently there ts a string of cars that would reach from the City Hali to the Battery, all close together and each car with’ passengers hanging on . The most miserable kind of station fa on Fulton street There are only three tracks, and ‘the cars behind have to wait sometimes five minutes before reaching the plat- form, je one train cannot get in until another goes out. ‘On reacht stairways have to be cl to a broad landing. ‘At ‘open on the | other end of the landing are ridicul- | ously narrow doors, then down more | stairs, where the “L" passengers meet the crowd coming up from the trolleys. Two policemen are stationed upon the upper platform to try and stem the torrent, but they are powerless. Under ordinary conditions a passenger cught to be able to reach Manhattan from the Brooklyn end of the bridge in seven minutes. It took an Even- ing World reporter twenty-three min- Btes to make the trip this mornine. The arrangements, from the pass engers’ standpoint, are the poorest that coukt be made JAMES McCREERY & CO.
