 Jacob Greenleaf was thrown from an elevated train. It is said that Colonel Roberts, angry because he had not been put of quickly, grabbed him by the throat.
 Dow S. Smith, the general manager of the company, was arrested by De tectiye Bakman on a charge of ob- structing public traffic, he having held up trains, which blocked the road.
 Smith was taken in his automobile to the police station, where he was bailed out by Colonel Roberts.
 An inspector was arrested for hav- ing a blackjack and loaded club in his possession.
 A blockade that caused a string of cars mile long to pile up was caused when Percy F. Frieder of 3S0 Thir- teenth street and Edward Trainer of 12 Reid avenue refused to pay second fares. The company's agent held the car they were on at Grayesend avenue and Neck road. The men persisted in their refusal for over an hour, when finally force of Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit men threw them into the street. Trainer was badly hurt and was taken to the Emergency hospital in serious condition
 The licenses of the special policemen employed by the company were re- voked by order of Acting Police Com missioner Waldo.
 Bird s. Coler. president of Brooklyn borough, issued a statement calling on all citizens to refuse to pay more than 5 cents, the feeling against the com pany's determination to collect 10 cents for ride to Coney Island hay ing reached the boiling point.
 An official statement issued by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit was to the ef- feet that the management was acting well within its rights in demanding ten cent fare It was declared that the Aw allowed the company to charge 3 cents a mile and that in permitting persons to ride for only 10 cents the company was charging less than the egal rate.
 After his conference with the assist mt corporation counsel Acting Mayor hcGowan said
 T find that the only remedy for the people who take the Coney Island trip 6 c suit for damages. There appear to ,e now two decisions, one against the people and one against the company. The appellate division last summer rem lered a decisionson a suit against the company, upholding the company and leciding that the Brooklyn Rapid Tran 1t company had right to charge two ares to Coney Island.
 ''The decision by Judge Gaynor is low that the company has no right to ollect a second fare. This leaves the natter in the hands of those who con ider that they have suffered. and if a econd fare is charged by the company be remedy for the person compelled pay 1t or who does pay it is suit gainst the Brooklyn Rapid Transit for amages."
 The mayor supplemented this by say ag that the company had a right to pe force in ejecting person from the ar who refused to comply with its ulss, but that force must not be bru- ll. He said that the two decisions sade the matter hard on the public. he only remedy they had was the suit pr damages.
 MT. McGowan said the police would e instructed to see that no injury was one to any one riding on the cars.
 At the close of the interview it was smarked that the people. then. are in bad fix"
 "Yes. they are" was Mir. McGowan's
 ply.
