Make Hot Work For Brakeman of the
Santa Fe.
Three tramps securely perched on top
of the Santa Fee westbound passenger
train fought and for time successfully
held at bay two brakemen a few miles
south of Topeka yesterday. The train
was No. 1, the California express which
left the Santa Fee depot at 3:45.
The tramps got on the ''blind" when it
stopped at the Missouri Pacific Junction.
The "brakie" saw the tramps get on
and tried to beat thenlo but the tramps
filed their pockets with coal from the
tender and showered such a volley at
him that he retreated and got another
brakeman to help him. They filed their
pockets with coal and climb to the top

BRoCKwAY CONDEMNED.

Among the many noble women OF
whose services In the cause OF humanity
and morality New York is proud, none
is more highly esteemed and more
justly admired than Mira Josephine
Shaw Lowell.
Mrs. Lowell was for many years
member OF the Board of State Chart
ties. Her devotion to the duties of the
position gives her the right to express
an opinion on any question of prison
discipline, while her kindness OF heart
and impartiality OF judgment render her
views OF especial value and weight
Having been solicited by newspaper
inclined to sustain Brockways manage
ment In the Elmira Reformatory, Mrs.
Lowell reluctantly expresses the con-
viction that the charges made against
the Superintendent of brutality have
been clearly established and that his
methods have been such as to unit
| him for further connection with re-
formatory institution for young offend
ers. At the same time she gives Brock
way full credit for his former services
In reformatory prison work. and de-
clares her surprise at his more recent
action.
The farce OF Brockway's second trial
| is now about over. Mrs. Lowell's opin-
Ions ought to render a change in the
whole institution inevitable.

"No SEAT, NO FARE"

The crusade OF 1.-THE Evening World"
in the interest Of the people who use the
street railroads. and especially the cable
roads. to compel the companies to run
sufficient number Of cars In the busy
hours OF the day to prevent over-crowd-
ing IL not new movement. Some years
ago, when the evil had become unbear-
able, THE World'' raised the war cry
OF No seat, no fare" until the street
car companies were compelled to heed
II and to afford better accommodations.
1t Is claimed by the companies that
the fault is largely with the people. who
will not miss a car, however much II
may be crowded. even II another. with
fewer passengers. is only a minute be-
hind. They say that men get enraged II
the car does not stop for them, and that
women are even worse than the men.
This Is weak excuse. If the cable
companies would run " trailers" at GER
tain hours. and II all crowded lines
would establish convenient relays along
their routes, there need be but little
over-crowding, and passengers. know
ing relief would come with the next
car. would get accustomed to let the full
ones go by. They are only anxious tc
push on to closely packed cars because
they are uncertain whether the next
will not be in a still more crowded con.
dition.

There is a good prospect OF the indict-
ment OF Henry o. Havemeyer and John
f. Searles. of the Sugar Trust, by the
Grand Jury of the District of Columbia
for their action before the Sugar In
yestigating Committee OF the Senate.
There ought TO be some way to force
out OF the conspirators of the Trust the
truth about their corruption of political
parties and public men, and OF their
purchase Of elections for their own pro-
lection and enrichment. OF what use
are civil-serVice rules and statutes for
guarding the purity Of the ballot-box
II a monster combination OF this kind,
with an unlimited amount OF wealth,
can purchase public officials, control
legislation and make elections u mere
cattle mart? What farce to pretend
that men who commit such crimes can
be permitted to seal up the mouths of
witnesses, refuse to produce books be
fore an authorized tribunal and defy
courts and Congressional investigations

A THREE WEEKS RECESS.

The Lexow Committee yesterday ad-
journed for a short three weeks. as
Mr.. Goff explained. to give the Senators
an opportunity to take part in their
State conventions.
Some people who regard party con-
ventions as of less Importance than the
correction OF police corruption may
dsapprove of the adjournment. but the
Committee took care to put In n good
days work before switching off to poll
tics. The evidence was intended to
show collision between the officers and
pawnbrokers in cases of the pledging
of stolen goods, and a suspicious case
was brought to light in which an at
tempt was made to bleed the owner of
u diamond pin that had been stolen In
Brooklyn and found by New York de-
tectives. 1t appeared. however, that
the New York officers alleged to have
been In the conspiracy were dismissed
by Supt Byrnes from the detective
force.
BY far the worst feature in yester-
days developments was the suspicion
created that some ignorant foreign
women, innocent OF any offense. had
been prosecuted by the police for re-
sisting attempts at blackmail, and had
been made the victims OF false charges
and perjured testimony. If these allie
cations are esta blished. they lay the
foundation for the worst charges yet
brought against the police.

tive and valuable, but. with the excep-

"HUMPTy DUMPTY."

Those who clamor for what is greedily |
known as their moneys worth" can go
in sweet confidence to the Fifth Avenue |
Theatre TO see the Liliputians In
their latest spectacular extravaganza. |
"Humpty Dumpty." They will find a
veritable indigestion of gorgeous ballets,
ingenious mechanical effects. pictur-
esque groupings and lavish scenic dis
play.
"Humpty Dumpty" Is the most pre-
tentious production in which the Messrs.
Rosenfeld have placed their delightful
little people. The simplicity that marked
the earlier extravaganzas has gone. The
managerial brothers have contracted the
mania OF costly display, the germs o.
which Turk in the upper Broadway
atmosphere, and this time the Lilipu-
tians are secondary to the superb set
tings and the rich and almost glutton-
ously beautiful cost umes. The little peo
pie have much less to do than they had
in THE Pupil in Magic" although they
are perpetually on the stage, and the
accomplishments of Franz Ebert have
simmered down to q wink and a bit of
pantomime.
In "Humpty Dumpty." however. the
children have a sumptuous treat In
store for them. and to hear them laugh
loudly last night at the quaint mechani-
cal surprises and Ebert's clever Coquelin-
esque pantomime was to acknowledge
the success OF the new extravaganza
Then how they chuckled when little
Goerner dabbed dough in Mr.. Schaum-
| herg's face; with what tinkling glee they

noisy, incredulous "Ahs!'' arose at the
appearance OF the Giant, while as for
the hurdle race-it proved to be absolute
ly Irresistible.
The ballots are OF the most glitterlng
description, and they do not suffer from
the hackneyed Italian premiere. who
whirls around on her incessant leg, to
the accompaniment OF spinning tarletan
skirts. The ballet of diamonds at the
end of the third act will keep the most
active eye busily employed. and the
ballet OF drinks Is pretty and cum
ningly devised arrangement. The man.
moth electric punch bowl that appears
at the end OF this advertisement Is
charmingly effective. In fact. "Humpty

as little Jack Horner's pie was of piums.

theatre and revel in them. Jack Horner
had harder work with his pie.
