RAISE IN TROLLEY
RATE CAUSES RIOTS
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Asks
for Double Fare and Will Now Be
Sued for Ejectment of
Passengers.

New York, Aug. 13.--It is understood
that large number Of lawsuits will
grow out of the action of the EMPLOYEES
of the Brooklyn rapid transit company
In eiecting from cars yesterday the pa
irons who refused to pay the extra
five cents fare to and from Coney Island.
Acting Police Commissioner Waldo said
this morning that the law would be
enforced and citizens win be given full
protection. Eminent counsel have been
engaged by the railroad company to
defend the legality Of the ten-cent
rate.
Some Knocked from Track.
-Four passengers who had started to
walk to Coney Island, were knocked
from q trestle by car and an infuriat-
ed mob made threats to lynch the mo-
torman, when the police INTERVIEWED and
with drawn pistols held the crowd at
bay. The imperilled passengers, two
men and two women, were rescued by
boatmen. They suffered contusions and
other minor injuries and were taken
to a hospital.
The result was a block of cars and
trains mile long Great crowds Of
elected passengers gathered at the Sec
ond fare points and held Indignation
meetings, promising to bring many suits
for damages against the company. The
police authorities had taken precautions
to prevent serious trouble at these
places, although the police were instruct
ed not to interfere in disputes between
passengers and employees on the second
fare question.
Borough President Coler and THE
Brooklyn police deputy, Mr. O'Keefe.
were both on hand at intervals during
the afternoon and were appealed to
for advice by the protesting passen-
gers.
The company announced its purpose
last night Of continuing TO collect two
fares to Coney Island until some ac-
ton specifically restraining such course
is taken.
