IA Following the arrest tonight of three division lnspec- fore of the Brooklyn Rapid Iransl' company on charges of assualt' III the third degree, the company shut oll ell- +irelv all Of it's surface lines leading to Coney Island, taking the position til@' +hia was the only way to stop rlotine which has been in progress since sun dav morning at the points where a sec ond fare was demanded by the coni- nanys employees. The elevated ana eA- press train service to the seashore Fe sort were augmented.

There were many disputes at Neck Road and Gravesend avenue and number or passengers were dragged protestingly from the cars. Sheriff Flaherty of Kings said to-day he was prepared to swear in 1000 deputies if the situation should demand such a course, and he did issue commissions to several score whom he sent to the scene of the re- cent disorders. The stoppage of traf- foe tonight made the employment of further deputies at this time unneces- sary.

 The Brooklyn Rapid Transit stopped its surface cars at the second fare limits despite threats that were made that actions to annul the charter for these roads from Neck Roard to Coney Island would be instituted.
 Three more inspectors of the Brook lyn Rapid Transit were arrested late tonight on warrants charging assualt and sworn out by passengers. They w ere Frederick Lewis, Frank Perri and James Tierney.
