COMMENT on BELMONT LETTER.
Described as Theory n Rapid Transit
Monopoly. Backed by City Credit.

Described as Theory NJ Rapid Transit
Monopoly. Backed by City Credit.
Every one interested in rapid transit
was surprised TO read the letter Of March
81 written by President August Belmont
Of the marlborough company to Alex
ander Z. Orr, president Of the Rapid
Transit Commission. Mr.. Belmont's letter
provoked widespread comment, most Of
which was to the effect that Mr.. Belmont's
theory Of rapid transit, as explained in
the oficial statement issued by him yester-
day, indicates that the present subway is
an exclusive monopoly, that Mr., Belmont
embarked in II on that understanding, and
that in case the Rapid Transit Commission
creates any new route Mr.. Belmont pro-
poses to hold the members Of the commits
sion accountable before the bar Of public
opinion. and make the jury itself uncom-
Portable 10y shutting on the transfer privi-
leges heretofore granted TO such Of its
members as come from or go to The Bronx.
The idea Of Mr.. Belmont, according 10
intelligent critics was that apparently the
Rapid Transit Commission exhausted its
powers when il planned one subway. and
that having planned one and rented il on
any old terms that were ofcrcd-competi-
tors were scarce at the time-it Il forever
barred from laying out another road or
roads that IT, whole future Official life and
that Of lie sucoessors IL TO be spent In eI-
tending and improving the first system,

the obsolete overhead ratuetraps taken
over by the city's tenant and merged with
the city's property on a guarantee 20 pay
liz owners per cent whether II earned it
OF not.
The letter Of March q from Mr.. Belmont
20 the Rapid Transit Commission, in which
this alleged agreement Is revealed, and in
which the proposals Of the marlborough
company for extensions are set forth. 1t
was further pointed out, contains the sig
nificant phrase under the terms Of the
Rapid Transit act which, Of course, con-
templates using again the city's credit for
tho work.

DIAMOND WoRKERS WANT MORE.

fIsal Of the firm 70 advance salaries Is per

TIL rec weeks ago, the concern, on the
demand Of the union, changed the system
Of pay from the IieCe or carat plan TO sal
aries. which were adjusted after a confer
ence Since then the union has decided
that the salary schedules are too low, and
a movement Is in progress for general
advance. The demands are presented 20

succeeded In winning each successive
struggle.
A member 'of the firm Of L. & NJ. Kahn

q week, only two being at the minimum,
and the average being $50. They have
presented a scale ranging from $50 to
500 and averaging t42.
The men assert that the advances are

Testines in Her Mothers Suit TO Recover
Valuable Real Estate.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Mrs. Florence
L. Maybrick. who was recently released
from an English prison, after fourteen
years confinement on a charge OF murder
ing her husband. was a witness here to-day
in a suit brought by her mother, the Baroness
Won Rouues. to recover a valuable tract
Of land in Virginia. West Virginia and
kentucky.
The suit has been pending since 1903,
and one Of the strongest pleas for Mrs.
MAVERICKS release was that her testimony
was essential in proving her mothers title
to the land. II il alleged that ID. W, Arm
strong, the defendant in the present action,
was formerly agent for the property IN
dispute and that in the time OF Mrs. May
bricks Imprisonment he disposed Of IT,
On the other hand, Armstrong asserts
that the Baroness Won Roques never had
anv title or interest in the property, which
she AYERS she inherited from her grand
father Mrs. MaybriCk's testimony to-day
was mainly with regard TO letter which
il is alleged Armstrong in 1887 or 1883 wrote
TO her husband in which the writer made
the customary statement that the lands
we're OF no value and not marketable.
The hearing was held before notary
public and counsel for Armstrong occupied
most Of the time in objecting TO that official
acting and TO the questions asked Mrs.
Maybrick. The hearing will be continued
Tomorrow.

There were three lines. each in charge Of
