Brooklyn Rapid Transit Sus- bends Surface Line Traffic.
THREE OFFICIALS ARE ARRESTED.
More Passengers Thrown on Cars. Kings County Sheriff swears In Deputies = Road Appeals
 For Police. 4rsE

NEW YORK, Aug. 15. - Following the arrest of three division inspectors of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit compa- ny on charges of assault in the third degree, the company shut off entirely all of its surface lines leading to Coney Island, taking the position that this was the only way to stop rioting which has been in progress since Sunday morning at the points where a second fare was demanded by the company's employees. The elevated and express train services to the seashore resort were augmented. The arrested inspect ors are William Hefferman, William c. Newberry and Frederick J. Gulliver, all of whom were taken into custody on warrants sworn out by passengers who had been ejected from cars. The employees were bailed in the sum of $500 each. S%@ The stoppage of the surface car traf- fic had the effect of quieting the dis turbances, and the company claims it will not attempt to run the surface cars through to Coney Island at rush hours until the danger of rioting is past. Counsel for the company wrote Ato the acting corporation counsel de- manding that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines be afforded police protec- tion. He declares the company is a Illegal one according to the laws of New York state, Is doing legal business sand is entitled to police protection when its rights are assailed.
 The surface cars, which were stop ped at night, were run during the day on half hour headway. There were many disputes at Neck road and Gravesend avenue, and a number of passengers were dragged protestingly Yrom the cars. Sheriff Flaherty of Kings said he was prepared to swear In 1000 deputies if the situation should demand, and he did issue commissions to several score whom he sent to the recent disorders. The stoppage of traf' fic at night made the employment of further deputies at this time unneces sary.
 The company has experienced but lit tie difficulty in collecting second fares from elevated road passengers te Coney Island and is depending upor this service to solve. temporarily al least the existing troubles.
 Three more inspectors of the Brook lyn Rapid Transit were arrested late at night on warrants charging assault and sworn out by passengers. They were Frederick Lewis, Frank Perr and James Tierney.
 A rear end collision between two trolley cars on the West End railroad near Coney Island resulted in the in jury of dozen persons, all of whom .with one excepsen. MeH s.te thei homes after having their injuries at tended to- Mary Graham. who was thu most severely hurt, was taken to hospital. The accident occurred at sharp curve.

 The negro after making some pur- chases grabbed up a meat knife and said:
 You are what I want" The young woman made an attempt to defend herself with an iron bar, whereupon the negro slashed her across the throat, making a gash four inches long, and almost severed two of her fingers.
