URGE THAT CITY
ACQUIRE ROADS
Brooklyn Grand Jury
Says Transit Facilities
Are Intolerable.

NEW YORK, Dec. q. - The Kings
County Grand Jury made a presentnent
to-day On traction facilities IN Brooklyn,
recommending that steps be taken to an
nul the charters Of the constituent COM
pan;es of Ihe Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company and that 96e City acquire and
operate GFe surface and elevated lines.
The pres6ntmen1 declared that present
conditions are intoleFable, and contains
the statement hat the officials OF the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company had
admitted they could cure the evils but
were unwilling to do So The jury ex-
pressed the opinion that the roads could
be operated at a profit a three-c cent
fare basis. The presentment says:
The only solution of this vexed problem of
metropolitan transportation is municipal own
ership and operation of the means of public
travel. These railways, elevated
poitan transit that have been given away for
absolutely nothing until recently and practi-
cally nothing in this day, should be brought
control from which they passed the ownership
and operation of the public.
We are of opinion also from statistics sub
mitted to us that experience has demonstrated
that under public control these railway sys-
TENS would only be operated efficiently for
the public that fares could be reduced to
cents, still leaving a large net surplus reve-
nue. after the costeof operation is met, which
could be applied to reduce general taxation.

DENY THE STORY
OF CORRUPTION
Citizens Of Bremerton
Demand a Thorough
Investigation.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 3l.-The Cham
Der Of Commerce to-day decided 20 ap-
point a committee to investigate the re-
ported corruption at BremertOn. The re-
quest for an investigation was made by
a representative of the Bremerton Board
of Trade who repudiates the report.
A long letter was read from Congress
man Jones, in which he recommended
that steps be taken by the Seattle Cham
Der of Commerce to use it's influence to
have Bremerton correct any evil that
might offend the authorities of the Naval
Department. At Bremerton the greatest
indignation is expressed over what is
called a slur on the town, when no cor
ruption exists that is not apparent in any
place of like size.
Mayor CrOXton of Bremerton said to-
day that many Of the citizens desire that
the saloons be kept open and that it
would be Unwise to order a complete
close-down when the morals of the city
do not warrant it, While admitting that
there are sixteen saloons in the city, he
is emphatic in his statement that dis
order has been reported, neither has any
complaint been made meeting of the
Council will probably take place Friday
when the matter will be discussed from
every point of view. 1t is said at Bremen
ton that the lieutenant who made the in
vestigation, as ordered by Admiral Stir
ling, rendered the scandalous report be-
cause of personal antagonism to certain
merchants Of the town.

CRUISER Fake
NOT IN RANCE
Cannot Bombard Vene-
Suelan City of
Maracaibo.

CARACAS, Dec. Sl.-Au Italian cruiser
last night chased n bis Venezuelan
schooner OK La CIuaira. The pursuit was
witnessed from this port. Under cover Of
darkness the schooner managed 20 get
away.
The report that the German cruiser
gSaIke Is threatening to bombard Mara
ca9bo is untrue. In the first place the
cruiser cannot enter The lake of Mara
caibo and as SIaracaibo is ten miles from
the bar, IL would be impossible for the
Fake to lombard it, In the second place.
it is asserted in Maracaibo that the-Pest-
master there has not withheld the mail of
the German merchants Maracaibo Is

The blockade is working injury to COM
me:ce-especially to American interests.

miral Douglas to-day granted a special

HOLDS OUT CERTAIN CLAIMS.

BERLIN, Dec. 31.-The German Govern
ment's reservations in agreeing to sub
NIT the Venezuelan claims to arbitration
continue to be undisclosed in their en-
tirety. From statements appearing to-
day, however, il seems to be confirmed
that Germany excludes from the claims
which are subject to arbitration demands
amounting to 900 for seizure offprop-
erty and outrages on the persons of Ger
man subjects under circumstances which
are here deemed so clear that it is useless
to call in arbitrators. The payment Of
this sum will not be demanded in cash at
present but a sufficient guarantee of the
payment will be insisted upol. Great
Britain's preferred claims are equivalent
in amount to 100000. hence the state
ments made abroad that Germany is ask
ing more than Great Britain are incor-
rect Germany valves apology for
what are here called diplomatic insults,
asking only for material reparation

ner. considering that II was New Years
eve.
The route of battle extended from Sew
enth and Market to kearny and 'Sutter
streets. OF course, little demonstra
tiOn was going on along the side streets,
but it was nothing as compared with the
main promenade.
Every one wanted to wait for the
last cars, and there was a merry rush as
they lOOmed up. Those who were not for
tunate enough to secure Il berth on their
home trains had to fall back on the owl
car, even II il did land them some blocks
from their dOmlciles.
The owl service the Ellis, Eddy and
Mission street lines did great business
from / o'clock on. Last night was the
first New Years eve that the all-night
car service mas been in operation, and
consequently no one cared about getting
home till the fun was all over.
The blue wagons made recOrd-breaking
speed trials from the tanks to the scene
cf festivities. Many man started out
ID accumulate his farewell jag, only to
land up IN the jug and wake up in the
morning and wish that he had waited for
the Fourth Of July.
In the gIlded palaces. where the white
coated knight OF the demijOhn dispensed
his cheering wares, large crowds were
gathered onneXing that last spree. which
comes once year. and in many cases n
little more frequently. Many q solemn
oath was taken that the cocktail would
be eschewed. and still the same old Oaths
will be renewed when 1904 is being ush-
cred In.
The new year has arrived. and San
francisco has heralded its arrival once
more with the same carnival spirit. Il

night will gather once more IN another
