A MOVING STAIRWAY.
Persons Who Want to Climb are Car
ried Up Gently by Electricity

New York Jan. 1.-The Reno inclined
elevator. or moving stairway, was put
into experimental use on the Brooklyn
bridge half an hour or so yesterday
for the edifcation of the bridge Off
Gals.
It is the small experimental machine
which was operated two weeks last
summer at Coney Island. In that time
it carried 5000 persons or more with
out an accident.
The machine is built for making a lift
of only about seven feet, and as this is
only about half the height of a bridge
story, the place chosen for it's opera
ton is that furthest to the eastward on
the right hand side of the lower floor
of the bridge entrance. The elevator
stands there just to the right of the
regular stairway, and will land it's pas
sengers beside those who walk up
these stairs.
AS the passengers will then have to
walk up the next half flight of steps.
the new elevator will not be able to add
much, if anything, to the bridge accom-
modations, but ought to show whether
it can be relied upon for regular and
satisfactory service.
The new elevator is in effect tread
mill reversed in it's action. The pas
sengers step upon the endless belt which
forms its platform, grasp a hand rail
which moves at the same rate with the
platform, and are carried up by an
electric motor which keeps the platform
moving.

VICE IN GOTHAM.
DR., I. K. Funk Calls Attention to the
Disregard of Law.

New York, Jan. DIR Isaac x
Funk, before-the members of the Amer
lean Temperance union in Chickerine
hall today, renewed his charges of the
existence of vice and immortality in
the fake" hotels under the Raines
law, and scored the authorities of New
York and Brooklyn for failure to per
form their duty
DR.. Funk said that there were 2. 700
complaints made by the police in the
pigeonholes of the district attorneys
office in Brooklyn Enacted upon During
nine months of the Raines law but one
conviction was secured under it, and
in that case sentence was suspended.
DR.. Funk then read an affidavit sign
ed by himself and by John Berry and
A H. Walker, saying that they had
called upon Commissioner of Police
Wells of Brooklyn on March "a 1894
and asked him to prevent the saloons
from violating the law. According to
the affidavit, the commissioner said:
Gentlemen, if close the saloons on
Sunday $4,000 Germans who voted for
us at the last election will vote against
US at the next election, and that would
put the ring in power again.
we were greatly surprised at this
frank statement and expressed the be-
lief that the reform element could safe
~ appeal to the public on the basis of
law enforcement. In regard to the fail
ure of police justices to hold men
charged with violations of the Raines
law, Dr.. Funk said:
There is every reason to believe that
a very rotten spot in our nnunicinaI
government is the police courts DIR
Funk also deplOred the seeming inac-
tivity of DR.. Parkhurst in this fight for
American homes.
