TO PAY
A SECOND FARE
PASSENGERS ON coNEY ISLAND
LINES OF THE BROOKLYN
RAPID TRANSIT LINES.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Aug. 13.-Sixteen hours
of rioting and thuggery along the
Coney Island lines of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit system, following the
company's demand upon the passen-
gers for a second fare which the court
declared illegal, ended at 4 o'clock this
morning when Road Superintendent
Mayberry paid out of his own pocket
the fares of over ten thousand passen-
gers, who were asleep in the cars
stalled and blocked up for three miles
near the Kensington station. Had the
road continued its violent tactics there
is little doubt that its equipment
would have been so crippled that reg
ular service would have been impOs-
sible today. Superintendent Smith of
the company was arrested twice, but
would not cOuntermand the order for
a second fare. Special officers assault
ed hundreds of people, and Mayberry
to stop the rioting and disorder paid
the fares of all the passengers.
