thorized to advertise for a carload of

TROLLEY WAR
OVER 10 CENT
FARE ENDED.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Agrees
to Issue a Refund Check for
the Second Fare.
COURT TO DECIDE IT.
If II Declares Double Fare Is H.
legal Company Will Cash
Slips Now Given.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Acting Mayor
McGowan won a tilt with the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit lawyers when he
forced the road to accept his amend
ment to the form of receipt for the
second fare, inserting the name of the
court of appeals as the court of last
resort, on whose decision the road
would refund the money represented
by the receipts should the decision go
against them.
The law firm of Parker, Sheehan &
Hatch held out for the United States
supreme court, but Mr.. McGowan won
the day.
This was decided at meeting held
in the office of former Chief Judge
Parker of counsel for the railroad.
Present at the meeting were Presi-
dent Winters, Vice President Calder
wood and Attorneys Yeomans and Par
ker.
Acting Mayor MCGOWAN made the
following proposition, which was final
ly accepted by the company:
'That every person paying two fares
in going to or coming from Coney Is
land be given a receipt therefor in the
form of ticket.
"That on the back of the ticket shall
be printed an agreement guaranteeing
refund of one fare, or ) cents. to the
holder in event of the court of appeals
deciding that the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit had no legal right to collect
double fare.
"That if the decision of the court of
appeals is that the company did have
and has such right the ticket shall be
null and void"
Other developments of the day were
as follows:
John f. Calderwood, vice president
and general manager, and Dow NJ
Smith, superintendent of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit lines, were placed
under arrest on warrants charging
them with melting to riot. In the
Coney Island police court, where they
We're arraigned before an exciting
crowd. they were held in $500 cash
bail each for examination in the Lee
avenue police court
Borough President Coler invited
President Winter of the Brooklyn Rap
i'd Transit to join him in a petition to
Attorney General Mayer to bring man
damus proceedings to compel the com
pany to transport passengers to Coney
Island for 5 cents, thus providing for
a speedy decision on the legality of
the extra fare.
After maintaining silence since his
decison was made public, which started
the trouble, Justice Gaynor issued a
statement in which he counseled citi-
zens to pay the extra fare and avoid
trouble pending the settlement of the
issue by the higher courts. The jus
tice, however, still maintains the right
eousness of his decision which he says
he reached after a careful examination
of the statutes and the previous de-
cisons of the court of last resort touch
ing upon the matter.
There was less rioting than on pre-
vious days, but public feeling continued
to run BIZ"
