PEOPLE REFUSE TO
PAY SECOND FARE
ON ELEVATED AND
TROLLEY ROADS TO CONEY
ISLAND FOLLOW SUGGESTION
OF COURTS DEclSlN.

New York. August 12.-Scenes of disor-
der were witnessed on number of the
trolley and elevated roads leading to
Coney Island today when passengers,
guided by an opinion handed down by Su-
preme Court Justice Gaynor yesterday,
refused to pay second fare. At one
period during the afternoon the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company refused to con-
vey its passengers beyond Neck Road, the
second fare boundary, so long as any of
the passengers refused to pay the addi-
tional cents. The result was block of
cars, and the trains mile long. Great
crowds of elected passengers gathered at
the second fare point held indignation
meetings. and promised to bring many
suits for damages against the company.
The police authorities had taken pre-
cautions to prevent serious trouble at
these places, although the police were in
structed not to interfere in disputes be-
tween passengers and employees on the
second fare question.
Several passengers were injured today
in being thrown from the cars.
While the police had acted during the
day only to prevent disorders, they to-
night took command, and for a time kept
the cars moving so rapidly that the In
spectors could not eject passengers. Later
however the motormen declined to move
the cars, and the police arrested several
of them for obstructing the streets. They
also took into custody Dow J. Smith.
general superintendent of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company on a charge of
obstructng traffic by refusing to allow
the cars to proceed to Coney Island, and
Division Superintendent Davis on the
same charge.

Manager Vaughn and his bunch of top
liners win depart for Atlanta this MORN
ing to combat with the Firemen for three
games. Nobody has even considered such
a thing as losing the series, and the pre-
dictions. backed by bets. are that the
leaders will snatch two of the three, It's
not asking too much of the Barons
Not a member of the team was COM
planning yesterday of feeling badly, so
the Barons go to Atlanta in the best of
condition. The pitchers are working like
clock work and with only three games
in three days they will have an excel
lent chance to rest up a bit. Salee or
Ginger Clark will be sent against the
proudest of the Firemen this afternoon.
The Barons will not find the Firemen in
as weak condition as when they lost a
couple of double-headers here last week
Jim Fox, whose head reaches the artic
regions. will be back on the initial sack
and Otto Jordan will be on the keystone
bag. This permits of Smith going to his
old camping grounds at third and leaving
Archer and Evers entirely free so that
either can catch. 1t is more than proba-
bic that Hoffman, who was not Southern
league timber by a whole lot will be
handed the little pink slip.
Atlanta will resemble "itsoldself' again
this afternoon and the Barons may have
a little work to to win. The least that
can be said of the Firemen is that they
want revenge-sweet revenge at that for
the four defeats in two days last week.
Thursday. Friday and Saturday the Fin
ny tribe will meet the Barons on the lot
al West End, playing three games, and by
all the dope to he had the Barons should
take these three games.
After that the road follows and sixteen
games will be played by the Barons away
from home, bringing them back about
September for the Labor Day games.

refuse to go on with the game, and that,
after Jordans arrest, the game was for

malicious action in having Jordan ar

MISS ASH |. RSAC
CREATES A SCENE
ATTEMPTS TO INTERVIEW PRES
IDENT OR MRS. ROOSEVELT ON
MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH"
WANTS OFFICER ARRESTED.

Oyster Bay August 12.-Miss Ash L.
Esac, who Is summering in oyster Bay
for the purpose of interviewing the Pres
ident or Mrs. Roosevelt on what she de-
clares is a matter of life and death
created scene during the services in
Christ Episcopal church today. Miss Esac
or Miss Case as her name is suppose to
be, has attended every church service the
President has attended since his arrival
here in July. She has climbed Sycamore
Hill on foot several times only to be turn
ed away by the secret service men.
She presented herself early at the church
today and took a seat directly behind the
pew usually occupied by the Roosevelt
family. When Usher James Duffy re-
quested her to relinqulsh this seat she re-
fused. Duffy forcibly removed her to the
rear of the church and Miss Esac says
he tore her gown in so doing. For this
act she later applied for a warrant fo-
Duffy's arrest but was refused.
In the rear of the church Miss Esac
refused to sit down. A secret service agent
stood beside her and during the service
she made no fewer than dozen attempts
to get by him. AS the President was
leaving the church three secret service
men surrounded Miss Esac. but she
shouted:
Mr.. President. Mr.. President, President
Roosevelt won't you speak to me mo-
ment?''
The President turned his head as he
passed but did not pause Miss Esac says
her watch chain was broken in this scrim-
mage with the secret service men and her
watch fell to the floor.
Miss Esae has stated to acquaintance
she has made while here that she was to
have been married in the White House at
the time Miss Alice Roosevelt became
Mrs. Longworth; that she was to have
married a high governorment official, and
that it was this wrong she seeks TO re-
dress. When the Presidents carriage had
departed Miss Esac was allowed to go.
She says she will stay in oyster Bay UNI
til she accomplishes her purpose.
Representative and Mrs. Longworth eX-
pect to leave for Washington and Cincin-
natl tomorrow.

SULTAN HAS CHILL.
Sensational Stories of Illness Are Be-
Ing Circulated.

Constantinople August 12.-Officials in
form callers at the palace that the Sui
tan was suffering from the effects of a
chill during the past week. but that he
has now completely recovered. His ply
sicians, however. advised his majesty not
TO risk eXporuse to the open air and hence
the abandonment of Selamlik Friday.
Today his majestys condition was re-
ported improved sufficiently to enable him
to attend to various affairs. The local
press is forbidden to publish anything
concerning the state of the Sutan's health
or of the abandonment of the Selamlik.
Sensational stories of the Sultans i'll
ness are in circulation here but in best
informed circles confirmation is given the
statement that there is a slight improve
ment in his condition and that he is in
no immediate danger.

material which will not be cold to the
touch.
A coupler arrangement of a new type,
stronger than anything ever used before,
has been designed for this car to avoid
any possibility of breakage and the re-
sultant parting of trains.
In the planning of this car, no expense
has been spared to build a coach which
should provide the greatest possible
strength; a steel framing which could
not be affected by fire; an inside lining
which should be absolutely unburnable
and at the same time, would not con-
duct heat or sound.
The company has been making elab-
crate tests to ascertain the effect of the
temperature of the atmosphere on the
steel, as compared with the old wooden
car. It is found that in hot weather the
difference is very slight, and that the
steel car shows a decided inclination to
cool off more rapidly than the wooden
coach.

oREA. ENGINEERING PROBLEM
Building New Railway Line Across the
Canadian Rockies.

From "Conquerlng the Last Frontier
by Samuel Merwin in Success.
The new Grand Trunk Pacific, the big
gest and the most interesting of the new
railroad projects, is to pass through Ed
monitor on its way from sea to sea. Ed
monitor, indeed, practically bisects the
western half of the line. Between here
and Winnipeg there are 800 miles OF
prairie; between here and Port Simpson
the terminal point on the Pacific, there
are 1000 miles of mountains. On the prairie
active construction work is TO-DAY gong
forward; contractors camps are swarm
ing with Galician laborers; district and as
sistant engineers are riding back and
forth over fiat prairie and rolling prairie,
sand hills and river bottoms; the pile
driver and the steam shovel are driving
back the antelope, the coyote and the
lack rabbit; the new line, changing llS
form and substance before each new op-
stacle-now an embankment, now an
excavation, now trestle-is pushing m
exorably westward This much is plain
story of constructive work. The plans
have been worked out; the route has been
surveyed and staked. The task of the
engineers in charge is mainly to see that
the contractors live up to the speeifica-
tions Farther west it is different.
Open yours atlas again and glance at
and Port Simpson, on the Pacific. 1t IS
here that you find the blank spaces. Now
try to imagine that an unknown WILDER
ness lies between Chicago and New
York Imagine, too, that instead OF the
hills of Pennsylvania and New York you
have the Canadian Rockies, with dozen
minor ranges thrown in for good meas
ure This means that you would be lucky

of five or six thousand feet There are
lakes, rivers and unbridgeable chasms IN
the way; but you, at Chicago. as division
engineer in charge of the survey work.
are expected to find the one best route 20
the sea-a thousand miles remember,
through the impossible-not a route. but
the best route.
TO complicate matters a bit, suppose
that another division engineer. with the
interest of a rival line deeply at heart,
is also at Chicago, with precisely the
same object In view. There is very little
doubt that only one of you can have that
best route. The man that misses 1t ut is
barely conceivable that both may miss
it, will put his company in the way OIL
dropping millions of dollars In extra-diI-
fieult construction All this must be made
UP out of profits. Suppose, too, that. after
the two roads are built, your grades are
sleeper than his. Remember that the same
engine will haul exactly twice as muen
up four-tenths per cent grade as up a
grade of one and two-tenths per cent.
This mistake will probably turn out 70 oe
more costly than the first, for your rlval
will be able to haul more freight with
the same expenditure for motive power
and your losses will accumulate from
day to day. The remedy is. rebuilding
and millions more. In short. 1t IS pretty
sharpl.1 as the saying runs, up TO you
Won must find that one best route with
o,,t ..astinr a day. and you must be very
certain that you are finding 1t.

Lazy stork Cost 500.
n the New York World.

From the New York World.
The failure of lazy stork to deliver
it's burden on time cost Mr.. and Mrs.
Leopold Winsckau S1o0 They were steer
age passengers on the Grosser Kurfuerst,
arriving yesterday.
When Mrs Winsckau boarded the ship
at Bremen Dr. w. Starke, the ships sur
geon. predicted an addition TO the Winsc-
kan family before arrival in New York.
Moses c. Nigel, saloon passenger, who
boarded the vessel at Cherbourg, thought
il would be a good idea to take up a
subscription for the parents of the infant
to be born on shipboard, and 800 was
raised. Day after day the horizon was
watched in vain for the bird. When the
stork hadn't reported up to the time the
steamer reached port Mr.. Nigel and the
other donors of the fund decided to give
the 800 to the general fund for seamen's
families. And the Winsckaus cursed their
luck.

A Venomous Bird.

From the Chicago News
In New Guinea there is said to be a
venomous bird called the bird of death. .
1t is about the size of a pigeon, with
a tail of extraordinary length ending in
a tin of brilliant scarlet. 1t has sharp,
hooked beak, and frequents marches and
stagnant pools The venom with which
1t inoculates is distilled in set of organs
which lie in the upper mandible, just be-
low the openings of the nostrils. Under
them, in the roof of the mouth, is a small
fieshy knob. When the bird sets it's beak
In the flesh of a victim this knob re-
ceives a pressure which liberates the
venom and inoculates the wound
