DEFES TRAST BOARD ON TRANSFER ORDER May Have to Pay $5,000 Fine for Every Day of Violation. The Public Service Commission was to-day defied by the Brooklyn Rapid ‘Transit Commission. It ha» flatly re- fused to obey an order issued by the commission and will take a chance on boing compelled to pay a fine of $5,000 which may be imposed for each day's violation, The open deflance ef the commis The | sion is the outcome of a controversy between the B. K. T. and the Van Brunt Street and Erie Basin Railroad Company, an independent corporation in Brooklyn, The commission ordered the B. R. T. to issue transfers at Hamilton Avenue and Van Brunt I Street to the Van Brunt Street line, ‘The order was issued Feb. 4. The B. R, T. objected to it on the ground that it was too broad in its require- ments, would interfere with the sew transfer system adopted by order of tho commission last June and might also be construed as reqyiring trane- fers to the elevated lines, It is understood that the B. R. T. objects to the transfer order because It cannot reach an agreement with the officials of the Van Brunt Street Mine as to what percentage of each nickel should go to the B. R, T. and to the independent company, The B, R. T. contends that it has the longest hauls jhould receive more than 60 per cent, The independent company cannot see it that way, At any rate, the B. R. T., it is un- derstood, will go into court and learn just how powerful the orders of the Public Service Commission are. If penalties are imposed by the commis- sion their imposition will be appealed.

Observers in Bellevue Hospital ere! of the opinion that Dr. Gregory will! report to-morow to the Distriet-At- torney of the Bronx and Westchester Counties that Frederick Mors, who asserts that he poisoned eight of the ged inmates of the German Odd Fellows’ Home at Unionport and Yonkers, because they were in the way and troublesome, is sane, In the event that much a report is submitted by Dr. Gregory, Morn will be taken into custody as a material witness and locked up in the White Plains jail to await further investigation of his story. Thus far District Attorney Martin of the Bronx has failed to gather sufficient corroboration of More's ftatementa to warrant him in or- dering the exhumation of the bodies of the two old men who died, ac- cording to More, of arsenic polson- ing. However, if Mors ia declared sane hie story will, of course, carry more weight than it did when he was under euspicion of being crazy and the bodies of his two alleged victims will be submitted to testa for traces of arsenic, Mors was busily engaged to-day in writing out an extended history of his activities in the Odd Fellows’ Home while he wae employed there Qa a nurse and porter, Dr. Gregory refused to allow Assistant District Attorney Mork of the Bronx to see him, but @ woman settlement worker ‘was permitted to talk to More and question him. It has been established that Mora came to New York from Vienna by way of London last June and the police of Vienna will be asked to look up hie career in that city. ‘The committes of investigation that visited the Home to ascertaia con- ditions in connection with the orphans department found that the children were tp bout as good condition as could be expected. The city pa: for about sixty of the children .ad mo- thing was found that would fustity their removal. it ie understood, however, that Grand Master Thomas McKnight of the Odd Fellows will to-day, at the regular meeting of the Board of Man- agers, recommend the removal of the matron in charge of the uiris, Mrs, Lena Mueller.
