EMERY MEN WERE PRESENT.
Therefore No Attempt Was Made to

The reason there was not a lively row
at the meeting Of the Kings County

Ing was packed. DR.. Emery had the
forty physicians present whose appoint

County Hospital he Is responsible for.
and all the doctors from the Health De-
partment. besides about twenty friends.
I'VE saw at once that II the resolutions
were introduced they would be voted
down by a majority of ten.
I'VE concluded that rather than euf-
fer a defeat at a packed meeting we
would wait. At the next meeting we
will not call for DR.. Emery's resigna-
ton, but ask for the appointment of a
special committee to investigate the
matters that were to have been referred
to last night"
There was a larger attendance at the
meeting last night than the Society has
seen for over a year. Physicians came
from all parts of Kings County expect
ing that there would be a grand old
row. But they were disappointed, as
the business of the meeting was con-
Quoted without interruption on the part
or Dr. Emerys enemies.

PASSENGERS BADLY MIXED.
Union Elevated Railroad Changes
Trains Without Warning.
Football Tactics Secure Seats at tho
Bridge Platform.

Brooklynites who ride to and from
their homes daily on either OF the three
lines of the Union Elevated Railroad
which terminate at the bridge are
rapidly becoming exasperated by the
of system under which trains are
despatched from that point.
As one occupant of Fifth avenue
car said last night: THE Company Is
playing a practical game of tag with
the passengers" He alluded to the
manner in which the waiting throng, as
well as the guards stationed on the plat
form, kept guessing as to which side
of the station their train will start
from.
At this terminal there are two tracks.
one on either side of the central plat
form from which riders embark. on
these trains are despatched over three
separate lines, namely: Fifth avenue, TO
Bay Ridge: Lexington avenue, to East
New York, and Myrtle avenue, to Ridge
wood. Up to about month ago the
Fifth avenue trains had departed from
the west. side Of the platform since the
road had been run. the other two lines
running from the opposite side.
Without preliminary notice, either by
signs or verbally. the passengers were
llneu up against the ratings On tle
sides which custom had given them to
understand they were to find their proper
trains at. when suddenly they were in
formed that the respective trains were
on sides opposite to the usual order of
things.
Since then, except for delays at Wash
ington street, near the curve, trains have
run without causing much criticism.
Passengers had become accustomed
to the new order of things and the re-
sultant confusion from Fifth and Myrtle
avenue crowds lining up at the narrow
gaps in the rail to fight passage
through when train arrives without
preliminary notice from the guard as to
which line 1t runs on.
Last night, however, the platform was
filled with wet. perspiring. struggling
men, women and children, massed most

had apparently returned to first princi-

POLICE MAY STRIKE.
Sheriff Norton Causes Trouble at
the Maspeth Race Track.
Discharged Six Specials Who Kicked

LONG ISLAND CITY, L. l., Sept. 49,
The special policemen employed on the
Maspeth race track are in open revolt
against the treatment melted out to them
by Sheriff James Norton. Six of the men
