No man should vote in the Brooklyn primaries for any legislative candidate who does not pledge nimself unequivocally to work and to vote for a legislative investigation of the shameful neglect which the Public hown toward complaints against the outrages ny has committed and ie committing Myrtle avenue trains now running ever the Brooklyn Bridge would be diverted to the Willlamsburg Bridge, thus giving the B. OR. Ta chance to operate more trains over | the bridge on i: Brighton Beach, Fifth avenue and Lexington avenue lines, Hut the announcement lost ite pleasing effect when Edgerton began {to testify. NO EQUIPMENT TO puT ON EXTRA TRAINS. Now the Myrtle avenue trains are to be taken off the bridge,’ id Commissioner ‘Willlams, addressing the witness, “and they will be divert. ed to the Willlamaburg Bridge. Won't that release some trains #0 that they may be put on In place of the Myrtle avenue trains taken off?" “Yes, it will release the trains,” re- plied Edgerton, “but the road hasn't the equipment, “Well, can't we have a short line placed in operation starting from Prospect Park to relieve the conges- tion on the through lines?” asked the Commissioner, “No, we can't,” replied the witness. “The -allroad hasn't got the equip- ment and if it took trains from its other lines and added them to the Brighton Beach line you see that would be robbing the other lines where the congestion during rush hours is as bad as on the Brighton Beach line.” Commissioner Williams then has- tened to make the time worn explana tlon that the Public Service Commis- sion had mapped out the Brooklyn subway system to relieve just such conditions as were complained of, After making this explanation he ad- Journed the hearing until Aug. 6 to give the B. R. T. and the commis- sion's experts time to figure out jest how much relief would be afforded by the diversion of the Myrtle line from this change will reduce tit» number of trains now going over the bridge by about @fty trains every three hours. EXPERT ACCOUNTANT TOOK COUNT OF TRAINS. Eugene R. Hudders, an expert ac- countant, of No, 1432 Bedford avenue, ;told of counts he had taken of the Brighton Beach service. Between 8.20 and 8.22 on certain mornings he had waited as long as from nine to twelvé minutes for a train and when they did come into the station he could hardly get on. In some in- stances, he said, the guards could not or would not open the gates, He was never able to get a seat, “Express train is a misnomer on that line, id Hudders. “I've been on them when they stopped at all stations, and in many extreme cases | Ro 1 have walted ax ion as 21 minutes for trains, And when we get to the bridge they make us wait 17 minutes to get across, | “Why do they have to wait that * asked Con ssioner Williams of one of the B. R. 'T. representatives. “L can't understand why,” was the ders #ald he had given up going at night by the B. RT. bridge lines and has been paying two fares to take the subway to Brooklyn Many others were doing the same thing, he said. John B. Fic! oklyn, Was the man who said the Brooklyn Bridge. It is estimated that t not to be compared to 1. passengers, Ile said that two years ago the service was better than it 1s to-day. CROWD PACKED IN CARS LIKE SARDINES. “The crowds are something awful,” sald Fickling raising both hands. “I am in the crowds and I feel sorry for myself and them. Sardines are not In it with us.” Commissioner Williams suggested that third tracking the “L” lines would probably relieve the congestion com- plained of by the witness. Fickling raised his hands in hor- ror again, “I would rather die than see a third track where | am. We Will ail be deaf mutes if that happens over our way,” he said. J “You don't mean that, do you?” In- terposed the Commissioner. “Don't you realize that Brooklyn has grown and more trains are needed?” The witness appeared not to know whether to regard this as comedy or merely trony and de left the witness stand. There was nothing said about the equipment for use during non-rush hours, It is @ fact that the B. R. T. cuts cars off its trains so that every hour of the day ie mad rush hour. a BOOTBLACK GAVE UP $500. Bat Bille Were Marked and Police Got Alleged Black Ha: Samuel Caporrino, who has a boot- Diack supply business at No, 68-70 Hud- son street, Hoboken, received several Black Hand letters several weeks ago, and, after getting Philip Dagartio, of No. 35 Market street, a friend, to read for him the dialect which he did not understand, he reported to the police. Detective Romanio went to work as a porter in his place and Detective Kiely loitered outside. Caporrino reported that Dagartio had offered to introduce him to a "big man’ in Black Hand circles who might ise for him the demand for $500, detectives marked some bills and him to Ko ahead.

IT COST $5.000 A DAY TO RUN THE CIRCUS. “It was something to do I tell you, but we did it, I had eighteen lions and twenty elephants, lots of tigers and leopards and monkeys, 100 Shet- land ponies and hundreds of other horses, We started out with an ex- pense of $5,000 a day and you bet there was some hustling before the end of the season to make that kind of an investment pay. “The old days when we ured to travel by ourselves from town to town and city to city and State to; State were the days. Then we lived in our canvas homes and were a city in ourselves. Those were the days of the big money. The people used to flock for miles around and in the big cities we could stay from two or three days to a week and make money. Of course there were fabulous stories told of the money that was made just like the actors and theatrical man- agers tell them. But we really didn't take in more than two to two and a half millions during the year. “On the circus trains the railroads always gave us the pick of train hands, and we always had our own men to see that they didn't overlook anything.

But the day of the circus will never be over. Give the peo- ple the right stuff and they will be with you. “It will be no trouble for me to start again. I've got an income of $200,000 or $300,000 a year more than I can spend. No, that's no circus yarn; that’s modest. Then at my home in Cincinnati I've always kept a circus for my own entertainment, I have all kinds of anima here, and my son has a lot mor it West | where he is doing jungle scenes for the movies. That's good business, that movie business. Even the ani- mals work into that game fine, and my son says that he hae no fault to find with what he gets, either. “The only question would be where would I get the men of the old days, the men I knew and who knew me? The men whe were trained for the business, who knew the animals and whom the animals khew—the old- performers. Ah! [ wonder where That makes me d at times when I think of the old performers, the stars that twinkled for a while and then went out. Well, they loved the game as well as I did.
