Damon [. Chapman, Jr., ATraigned Be-
fore Judge Bliss on a Serious Charge.
Local Street Railway Patrons Are Dis
satisfied With Service Rendered.

This morning Damon r. Chapman was |
brought In from the Second station and
arraisned on a charge OF criminal assault
on a six-year-old girl at Riverside.
He waived examination. was adjudged
probably guilty and wss bound over In
the sum OF $4,000. which up to late hour
today he had not furnished.
Those people OF the town who are
obliged to use the street ears are express
ing no little indignation at the utter dis
regard shown by the company for the
convenience OF the public. II Is noto-
rious fact that the facilities for the
transportation OF the patrons OF the va
rious lines in the town are for the most
part grossly inadequate.
II is not rea sonable TO suppose that
the company is ignorant Of the fact. as its
officials know how many passengers
car can properly carry and the returns
from the registers on which the fares are
run up shows exactly how many thes
do carry excepting the uniformed EN-
ployes who are not rung up. Almost any
| pleasant afternoon the cars on the Cres-
! cent Park line are crowded rar oeyohu
| their seating capacity
Women are obliged TO stand UP De-
tween the seats and frequently men are
seen hanging onto the running poaros'
| ON two occasions The News reporter
has been obliged to stand on the coupline
| rod on the rear OF the car In order TO
as, transnortation without waiting over
| one. or more care This was not at
time when people were going or return
ing from work. either
| On SUNDAYS and holidays there are
crowds on watchemoket square VINO can :
not get on the cars al all and many OF
them give up the idea OF gong oo"n
the river and return TO their homes
ra,,sr than get into the crush. This
crowd who cannot secure transportation
is sreatlv augmented by chose who come
from other parts Of the town on VIVA,
are known as transfer cars Many on
them get their transfers from the KUN
ford or Phillipsdale lines and after wait
ing on the square for an hour OF NO
or until the time punched on the transfer
r.ndsrs them vaiuele.s give up the trip
an disgust and return TO their homes
AT times the same conditions ootain
, on the line which runs to Rumtoro oNe'
. Red bridge. IL seems that " the cor,
. many meant 70 serve the interests OF 'n'
public. from whom they force theh re.
enue without any resaros 10 ,ne l,,
OF their patrons TO expect, not slmpN

, bu, 70 be provided with comfortaoi'
\ means az transportation at least SUI
: ec,ent TO carry the passengers VINO al
' on hand when the cars leave. Inc crown
ed condition of the cars the greater pa
n 40 the time and the frequent neglect o
!. | sav.a .nn,oves TO properly discharge IN
q duties they are paid TO perform max
; the service anything but satisfactory
!, a large element Of the patrons.
