Six other firemen were hurt but will recover. The accident was indirectly due to @ woman's fainting in the path ot the vehicles rushing to a fire. Mrs. James Arden Harriman of No. 540 Park Avenue and her sister, Mrs, Henry Hutton Landon of No. 19 East 63d Street, were cut and bruised last ‘ight when Mrs. Harriman’s car, in which they were riding, collided with a Ford car owned and driven by Joseph P. Barry of North Tarrytown, on the Past Drive of Central Park, near 102d Street.

The car would have fallen down the 10-foot areaway were it not for the fact that the alley was slightly narrower than the automobile. The car was wrecked, Joseph Rosenthal, forty-three, of No, 1014 78rd Street, Brooklyn, driv- ing om Tenth Avenue, avoided collid- ing with @ machine driven by Morris Alkosso of No. 174 Bay 29th Street, coming out of 71st Street, by running into the urb.

Checking over tho passengers on the Nieuw Amsterdam before she reached port to-day a thirteen-year- old stowaway was found who had been leading the life of Riley. The boy, Edward Philipozerk, said he was an orphan of Danzig and had been for six years, and during all that time had put in his time stowing away on ships irrespective of where they were bound. He speaks English, Polish, Russian, German and French. This is his fourth trip to America. He will go back when the ship sails. He had provided himself with a tag such as is given immigrants, but the number 1813 was too high for the number of passengers in the steerage, there being only 964. But until the check-up he was not discovered. He says he has an uncle in Chicago liv- ing at No, 2127 Thomas Street. Among the passengers on the ship was Robert Judson Kenworthy, Sec- retary of the Grand Lodge of Masons, who went abroad to visit Grand Lodges on the other side. Mr, Ken- worthy said, in reply to questions, that on the other side the Bolshevists were being kept out of the lodges The Prince of Wales, he stated, would shortly be elected Senior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of Eng- land, and Chancellor Birkenhead was to be named Junior Grand Warden.

To further illustrate how compar- atively dwarfish earnings of the Trust were in the first nineteen years of its existence, when more than $740,000, 000 was paid in dividends, it might be pointed out that the stock dividends and cash dividends to be patd this year by the parent company and two of its children, the Californian company and the New York company, exceed total disbursements of the Trust as consti- tuted in its first nineteen years. The Evening World has compiled figures showing the amount of divi- dend disbursements by the Standard Oil Compuny of New Jersey and its thirt; ernment, with a view to destroying the Trust's grip on the oi! industry in this country, decree in to effect. including stock disbursed par value of stock given-to shareholders of the y-three offsprings since the Gov- placed the dissolution ‘These dividends, various concerns, foot up to $1,327,. 383,022. This means that since the or- Qanization of the Trust in 1882 it has disbursed to ite shareholders in cash and stock $1,980,483,586, And if there be added the par value of stocks the New Jersey company, the New York company and the California company an- nounce that they will distribute to their shareholders this year, the total is brought up to $2,626,- 971,986. Thete does not enter {nto this com- pifation the value of the privileges the various companies have given stock- holders {rom time to time to subscribe to new stock at par when the market value of such stock was far in excess of the market price.

O'Brien, Commissioner Whalen letter to the Mayor follows: Soon after Oct. 15 Mr. Justice Mullan of the Supreme Court. New York County, will, undoubt- edly, sign a judgment preventing the further emergency operation of buses under the supervision of this department. Much has been said, both by the Governor of this State and by the Transit Commission, to tho effect that the present operation may be continued if your Board will grant what these gentlemen are pleased to call a “‘temporury franchise." No one knows, except Gov. Miller and Mr. McAneny, vhat these men describe as a “temporary franchise.” The stat- ute books are silent on this type of franchise, It has been a fixed City policy to grant franchises only to duly organized corporations. There are wery few, if any, incorporated among the four-hundred and odd men who now hold permits from this department under the authorization granted to it by your board. It would be unwise for the city to grant franchises of this character, no matter how temporary their provisions might be, to individuals. For each individuat to *become incorporated would take considerable time and would in nowise increase his responsibility. On the other hand, tt would very materially entangle the situation. It would be folly and would re- sult disastrously If the Board of Estimate and Apporticnment should grant individual franchises to the men who are now operat- ing buses under permit from this department. Any relaxation of supervision on the part of the city will result, I am sure, in poor service, large numbers of accidents, great incon- venfence and suffering to the travelling public required to use these lines. I cannot follow the reason- ing of Gov. Miller ani Mr. McAneny in their public state- ments advocating the granting of ‘temporary franchises’ by your board except that it may be a prelude to drive over a large and profitable franchise grant to some favorite corporation after the so- called ‘temporary franchise’ ex- periment. “Out of the dilemma caused by the decision of Mr, Justice Mullan and the drive of Gov, Miller and Mr. McAneny for franchise grants, I can see but one remedy—the granting by your honorable board of temporary revocable permits to the individual bus owners, these permits to be substantially like the permits granted to the Fifth Avenue Coach Company. The is- suance of such permits by your board would still make it possible for the city to maintain its super- vision and control over the pres- ent bus lines, In anticipation of your con- sideration of this question, I am submitting herewith the signed applications of all the present bus owners now operatin, on the pre: Safeguard Your Life With a Guarantee Printed on Every a Label: Guaranteed not to burn or explode, and to contain no Benzine, Naptha, Gasoline or other inflammable ® substance.’” Cannot B ARBGNA é LESALL ORUGSISTS: vt ‘or Sicks+Headacghes THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAx, OOTOBER 14, 1922, bus lines, will wet favorably t applications, ‘the Commissiof will then have an op- portunity to make good the prom- ' of ite Chairman that certifi- ficates of convenience and neces- aity will be issued fot the existing bus lines. ANOTHER WEST SIDE SUBWAY PROPOSED BY TRANSIT BOARD Extension of B.R. T. Under Central Park West Is Planned. West side residents were studying to-day the plan of the Transit Com- mission for a new subway under Cen- tral Park West. The Commission an- nounced its new routes late yesterday and at the same time made known its selection of a subway route to Rich- mond Borough several miles from that already approved by Mayor Hylan and the Board of Estimate, Tho Commission submitted to the Board its proposed new subway un- der Central Park Weet as an exten- sion of the present B. R. T. system. The Board set Oct. 20 as the date for a hearing on the project. As laid down, the new line would extend from 69th Street northward under Central Park West and Lenox Avenue 155th Street and then northwest under St. Nicholas Avenue to Broadway and 168th Street. The plan to link up the new line with the Interborough Seventh Avenue line at 168th Street was not known until yesterday. The plan to extend the B. R. T. as far us 155th Street had been previous- ly made known by the commission. But its development to link the new line with the Interborough Seventh Avenue line at 168th Street was not known until yesterd ‘The entire plan of the commission dealing with transit facilities for Washington Heights 1s described by the commission ag “the most thor- ough plan of rapid transit as yet con- ceived.

Antonio Rizzo of No. 7808 15th Ave- nue, Brooklyn, was held in $30,000 bail to-day by Magistrate Ellperin on three charges of violating the Mullan= Gage Act. His arrest followed a raid upon the Eureka Chemical plant, No. $209 Third Avenue, and another upon Rizzo's home yesterday by Pollee Capt. Patterson. It is alleged a re processing machine was found at the plant along with much denatured al cohol. In his home, it is said, was a fitty-gallon still and thirty-five gal- Jons of denatured alcohol. An analysis of the liquor seized, the police assert, showed it to contain wood alcohol. Rizzo, according to t police, had a memorandum book ol taining addresses for delivery of liquor to persons in the Red Hook section, where there were twelve deaths from wood alcohol poisoning in August Model Room Has Many Innovations, One a New Wit- ness Box to Hide Display of Ankles. A model court room just has been built in the old County Court House and is a replica of what the trial chambers will be in the new Court House now in course of construction. Many radical innovations in court room construction are found in the new chamber, which are bound t please juries and Judges, but are likely to bring forth objections trém the lawyers. ; ing nearly to the witness's shoulders.

All of the fur- niture is of solid mahogany. ‘The model court room was built at the suggestion of a committee of jurists consisting of Justices Cohalan, McCook and Lydon. The architect's plans were worked out under the per- sonal direction of Clarence J. Irving Clerk of the Board of Justices. The new court room will be officially opened Monday morning, with Ju tice MeCook on the bench, and will be known as Part No. 9, Trial Term The efforts of the sarcastic tria’ lawyer to ‘“browbeat’? a timid wit- negs will henceforth be enhanced for in the new court reom the coun- se] tables, instead of being in front of the bench, have been shifted to the left of the chamber and half the distance across tho room witness stand. The jury box, instead of being along the side of the room, is placed on ® semi-circular platform directly in front of the witness chair and facing the bench. This innovation brings the jurors near to a witness and in a better position to hear all the téstimony.
