Not only that, but the Magistrate has ordered a most thorough investigation to be made of the whote matter.

The war- rant was tssued and Dhuy arrested. His case came defore Magistrate Dooley in the Domestic Relations Court on Van- derbilt avenue yesterday afternoon. The defendant appeared exceedingly uncon- cerned. When Mrs. Dhuy had finished telling the Court how her husband left their home on Tuesday Magistrate Dooley turned to Dhuy and asked tim what he had to say for himeelf. With a Jaunty air Dhuy stepped forward. " he began, “this PRICE NURAT TOWED.

MAGISTRATE FINDS OSCREE APPEAR6 REGULAR. Magistrate Dooley scanned the paper. It was a decree of divorce in the case of Theodore against Annie Dhuy. The decree stated that the marriage tle had been dissolved for the reason that Mra. Dhuy had @ husband living at the time she married the plaintiff. ‘This is @ perfectly regular document, madam,” said Magistrate Dooley to Mrs. Dooly. ‘It states that you made no defense to the action.” Mra. Dhuy by that time was pale and trembling, She was so excited #he could acarcely speak as disclaimed any knowledge of the suit in which the de- cree Was entered. “I was never served with any such suit,” @he sald, “and never had any Stuyvesant in Paris.

I presume that one-half the male population of New York City is try! to forecast the effect of the new ay: tem of subways and subway extensions on what ts now called “Suburban” Real Estate.

Thus one can find but little value in existing statistics to predict the influence of the way eyetem on land values, especially throughout Brooklyn and Queens.

In Chicago the elevated Hnes radiate into what, at the time of their com- pletion, wee open territory, and the influence of this means of transporta- tion on land value can be easily traced.

The former will be answered in due time in the courts. I would, however, ask the indulgence of the press and the temporary cessation of its hostilities for a few weeks pending the reconstruction period through which the Company is now passing. No railroad in the country {s fully equipped with No. 20 cross-overs, but the Public Utilities Com- mission of Connecticut has ordered that all trains in that State shall come to a full stop befose This means, to maintain the efficiency of our service, a half-million dollare to be expended in recon- struction of cross-overs, switches and signals, and the materials therefor have been ordered. Meanwhile, in compliance with the order of the Commission, there is a necessary slowing down, making for irregu- larity in tho train service, especially during the winter months, when it is more difficult to make up with safety for the running time cut out of our echedules. It is believed that anew time schedule, pending this reconstruction period, will insure greater safety. It should be put into effect, according to present plans, about February 2d. Reconstruction of cross-overs will follow, and in a few months the oldtime echedule should be restored and maintained with the greatest punctuality consistent with safety. The New York, New Haven & Hartford Main Line should be maintained as the safest railread in It has been largely rebuilt and its electrification inaugurated during my eadminie- tration and no passenger loss has been met with by reason of this reconstruction. I desire now that this newest reconstruction shall be had without accident, and therefore ask the indulgence of the public and the press, and particularly the press, because attacks upon a railroad management during a reconstruction period have possibilities of demoralization in the personnel and working forces that directly increase the hazard of railroad travel. Generally speaking, the hazard of railroad travel is less than that of street or other highway travel, but the responsibility in railroad travel is more directly upon the authorities who are held in full measure of responsibility for every accident, whether or not such may be due to causes absolutely CHARLES S.
