Yachtsmen down that way have been

Cullen OF Brooklyn, and Miss Eleanor
Green, also of Brooklyn, in his sailboat
Sappho for spin. 1t was bright and sum
shiny when they started. On their way
back the fog came and spread grayly over
the water,
The girls made light Of 1t and warbled
"The Isles Of Greece, where burning Sappho
loved and sang" in compliment to the
boat Tower was bit worried, but he
didn't show 1t to the girls. He steered
toward the noise Of the surf hoping to
strike the beach somewhere, when bar

Reeves Island and it's only mile from

The sappho bumped and stuck on Bits

All subway express trains and some locals
will run to the Battery station to-day ana

at 1901 o'clock this morning bound ior
West Farms.
The two downtown stations diner IN

Battery has only one side platform. Inc
trains will round the loop, open the doors
on the right and clear the cars and VIII
then take on passengers from the same
platform.
Rspeaters, who are riding on the sub
way for the fun Of it, will be able to mix
with the crowd and. returning to the cars
they have just left, can go uptown on .he
same fare. However, experience at other
stations has shown that repeaters are so
scarce that it is not worth while Watching
for them.
The Bowling Green station Is an 'island
like those at the other express stations
There are no side platforms at the Brooklyn
Bridge and Seventy-second street and. as
both express and local trains will run on the
same track below the Bridge, there is no need
Of two islands. ass at the Grand Central
station. The Bowling Green station ID the
longest in the subway system feet.
The Battery station, which is built on
curve, is 400 feet long. This curve Is 80
sharp that there must necessarily be con.
siderable space between the platform and
the car door, and passeng gers will have to
mind the step" pretty carefully
The thing is all finished at the Bowling
Green station. The design consists OF
panels OF buff and drab with conventional
flower border. The walls Of the Battery
station are unfinished and the workmen
have not even begun on the upper layer
Of ornamental tiles. The design here Will
be rather elaborate, and will include frieze
showing the old Battery sea wall. As the
contract for the division of the road below
City Hall prohibits advertising, passengers
will be able to see these decorations.
The conditions in thsse two new sections
of the subway last night went to indicate
that it is the heat engendered 10y the electric
trains which makes the subway so insult
ferably hot these days. At 10 O'Clock,
when no regular trains had been run as yet,
these stations were the coolest places in

HOOKER TRIAL BEGINS TODAY.
Plan OF Procedure VIII ne Adopted and
Then the .Justics VIII File Hts Answer.


ALBANY, July 9.-To-morrow Supreme
Court Justice Warren B. Hooker will be
brought before the Legislature to answer
to the charges of conduct unbecoming a
judicial officer. The Legislature is to meet
at ~ 30 o'clock. Each house will convene
separately at that hour and adopt the plan
of procedure and the rules of practise to
govern the trial, for it Is understood that
Justice Hooker will insist upon trial.
At 1 o'clock the two houses will meet in
Joint session and Justice Hooker will file
his answer
While it is thought that the trial will
occupy the entire week, still the outcome
is matter of considerable doubt Justice
Hooker refuses to resign and consequently
it will be necessary to go through the mass
of evidence that was produced before the
Assembly Judiciary Committee. 1t has
been stipulated that the testimony taken
before the commtteea shall he read.
It is said that Justice Hooker will call
witnesses in his behalf. but members Of
the State Bar Association do not believe
that he will Before the Assembly Ju-
dietary Committee the only witnesses that
Justice Hooker swore were some business
men Of Dunkirk, who were put on the stand
to show that the rental demanded for the
Dlnkirk post Office building was not e1-
cessive. As that matter will not come up
at this trial the Justice will not be called
upon to show why the rent for that build
ing was increased from 81 200 to 81 900 in
side Of a year.

EMPLOYED in the club were rudcly disturbed
yesterday morning at O'Clock by the
sounds Of hammering in the furnished

Of burglars, and Kennel gathered in Conroy
and Summers plain clothes men OF the same

the house by way of the clubhouse roof.
Kennel was admitted to the furnished
room house after he had rung the bell a
cout,le of times. He told the person who
let him in that he was after a couple OF bur-
glars, and then he crept up the stairs softly
With his revolver in his hand. Before he
had got to the top of the first flight of stairs
the noise of hammering began again, having
stopped when he was admitted.
Conroy and Summers were on the roof
with their revovers ont ready for action,
and they, too, heard the hammering more
distinctly there than they did in the club
Kennel made no noise climbing the stairs.
and the nearer he got to the roof the louder
the hammering.
When he got to the top floor he saw two
white robed figures standing on ladder
One was welding a hammer, the other
