The B. R. T. de- ficlt on the samo lines amounts to only $1,148,221.42, The deficit applies particularly to B. R. T.

The other lines are the Fourth Aye- nue subway, the Broadway subway, the Sea Beach and West End lines and the elevated extensions and third tracking of B. R. T. routes. All the foregoing information is contained in @ report made public to- day by Travis H. Whitney. In the opinion of city officials Mr. Whitney's statemept is accepted as an argument for the contention of Theodore P. Shonts that @ 6-cent fare is necessary on transit Hnes in this city.’ B. R. T’s share of the deficit is so small, Commissioner Whitney ex- plains that undor the provisions of Dual Subway Contract No. 4 the B. KR. ‘T. has first dip into the pool of earnings In order to phy its interest and sinking fund, Therefore, the city 1s bearing the burden when it is at ite| 4 peak In answer to the question why the| ‘ that an inerease in fare is one solu- tion of the problem, Commissioner Whitnéy paints a gloomy pictyre of the regults that may be expected upon the completion of the Dual Sub- way System, into which the city is pouring many more miillions than it originally contemplated. He says the deficits, which, up to the last gix months of 1917, were $100,000 a month, increased $250,000 & month from June, 1917, to the end of Deosriper of that year. “The total operating expenses gnd fixed oliargés under the ternis of the dual contracts are such that the total cost ts about six and one-third cents paid by each + ig t over the trunk rafifoads. Tho application of this law would mean a eix-cent fare. Ais com: ante are: “In order to keep such deficit, pay- able by Congréss, to a minimum, Di réctor General of Railroads McAdoo bas indicated his intention to increase rates, eliminate duplicate sérvice, ri plaeod in the dual contracts in 1918 arg the principles now foljowed = in rei it to the ational control of the railroads of the gontitsy. “The prynciplé that when thé Ife requirés large extensions of ge or control Operation the company 3% enititied 2 6 certain prefetential, and that the publie will pay the remainive expenses out of taxes has been fol- lowed jn the case of Se trunk a failfoads of the Uni! tes.

THéréfols, the’ completion of the present “can only alleviate cotigestion not ot} it, for the reason that ‘ad- ditional sit lines sboitid have) been begun as early as the opera- tion of the firet subway in 1904.” He further claims that the m former system which was estimate at $390,000,000 in 1918 will run up to At least $400,000,000 because of ‘war conditions, @ $70,000,000 furyp.

Stokes of $500 and an attempt to negotiate a loan ' ‘of $50,000,000 In the role of representa-|cence under questioning by detec- tive of the Spanish Government, Rousselot pleaded for leniency. The bogus Marquis told the Court that he had never done anything to injure the cause of the Allies, and that he had given valuable informa- tion concerning enemy plots and propaganda, “Whiley many persons believe you to be @ colossal fraud, I think you are “nothing but a peacock,” Judg# Mayer told the crestfallen “Marquis.” “You strutted around like a bird of that kind, deceiving decent but gullible persons, who took you at your own word as a bona fide Marquis and companion of ibe King of Spain.” Judge Mayer told Rousselot that his behavior had tended to injure the standing of worthy French officials who came here in the Interests of their country. The Federal jurist said that he had been. informed that Rousselot really had divulged val- uable information to the Government, ‘ and for this reason he had decided not to impose the limit sentence. Sen- tence on two indictments will run concurrently. While Rousselot was still enjoying the many privileges accorded a titled’ foreigner in this city, the local police communicated with the French police | oMfcials and Scotland’ Yard and| learned that he was virtually a fugi- e, after a criminal career in Paris and London and deserting trom the NA ~ OPPENHEIM, to-day.
