VENTILATION PROVIDED, | Separate System of Lights and Phones Between Stations for Cases of Emergency. Chief Engineer Craven of the Pub- lle Service Commission to-day made public the conclusions arrived at by experta of the Interborough and of the commission as to the beat methods of preventing smoke trag- edies and other acctdents in the sub- ways. “The firet and quickest step that can be taken,” says the report, “seems to be to provide ventilation from the manholes of splicing chambers to the surface of the street, so that the gases and smoke created in such manholes will have immediate access to the surface inet of being forced through the manhole doors into the qgubway. Measures are being taken now with a view of installing such ventilation.” Chief Engineer Craven says further studies are being made with a view, if feasible, of enlarging and rebuilding the je manholes #0 that the open- ings into the subways from such man- holes may be closed if thought de- sirable and that there may be a comp! segregation of bigh and low tension cables. The other upon are: “In addition to the company's pras- ent private telephone system which ig now in the subwa second telephone system entirely dis- tinct and separate from the present system and properly separated from the power cables. The telephones on this latter system are to be provided at sultable intervals throughout the entire subway between stations. Such an installation will insure poal- tive communication in cases of emer- gency between employees and train crews inside the subway with the proper authorities outaide of the sub- way. “To install an additional lighting system and re-arrange the present system so that the two systems will be normally independent of each other. One mis to be supplied from the Fifty-ninth Street power plant and light one side of/the sub- way and the second 5; m is to be supplied from the ty-fourth Street station and light the opposite side, The two systems are to be in- stalled so aa to be automatically con- nected in case of the failure of either power plant, thus supplying the en- tire subway with lights from the plant which remains in operation. “Tt is also proposed to connect this lighting system with a@ third source of supply which the company already has from the Edison Company, thus maki vailable Hghting supply in the unusual case of the t others failing. Provision ia to be made for a sepa- 6 source of power supply for the ventilating fans to be installed so as to be automatically available in case the power from the sub-stations fails It is proposed to inevease the mergency exit facilities through the ventilating chambers to the streot, “The commission's engineers are considering further means of in- reasing the safety and reliability .1 the aubway, but sufficient progress has not been made to permit » improvements agreed SPOOKS STOLE HER RING, WORTH $500, AT SEANCE At Least, It Disappeared and Spirit- ualistic Medium Under Arrest Denies She Took It.
