CONFER ON 3. r. T. FIGHT.
attorneys to Agree on Facts-Line
Sued for DAMAGES.

In view Of the decision Of Attorney General
Mayer to apply for permanent injunction to
restrain the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
from collecting more than : cents for a single
fare either to or from Coney Island, counsel in
terested in the fight over the double fare held
conference yesterday at the Office Of the COM
pany in Brooklyn. Ex-Judge Hatch. of the law
firm Of Parker, Hatch and Sheehan with other
lawyers representing the company, and Stephen
c. Baldwin, attorney for Borough President Co
Ter, were present. Some progress was made in
preparing a case on which both sides could
agree, but there will be another conference to-
day. and probably other conferences later in the
week
The intention OF counsel is to prepare for Mr..
Mayer an application for permanent injunc-
tlon. with full agreement by Borough President
Coler's attorney and the counsel for the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company. as to all facts in
the case With all facts established the courts
will have to deal only with questions of law.
This will make it easy for the case to reach the
Court of Appeals for final decision without Sc
rlous delay. 1t is understood that the company
will continue to collect the double fare until
there is a final decision, issuing rebate tickets
when the second fares are collected.
suit against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company for 5000 damages was begun in the
county Court of Kings yesterday by Joseph
Becal, of No. Z21 East 9Sth street, Manhattan,
dealer in incandescent lamp supplies. His at
torney, NJ. Strassman said that Mr.. Becals suit
was based on unprOvoked assaults by employees
Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. and
that no question of a second fare would be raised
In the case, because Mr.. BecaI and his wife and
child were dragged off a after the second fare
had been paid.
In his affidavit Mr. Becai said he boarded a
Smith street car of the COney Island & Brook
lyn line at the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday Au-
gust II. in company with his wife and their
daughter. three years old He paid 10 cents TO
the conductor as the car was crossing the bridge.
When the car reached Kings Highway he paid
another fare of 10 cents to the conductor but
some Of the other passengers on the car refused
to pay. B. r. T. inspector boarded the car,
and although Mr. Becal had paid the second fare
he says, he was dragged off with his wife and
child, Mrs Becal being much injured by the
rough handling Of the inspectors that he was
obliged TO take her back home soon as pos
sibe and call DR. HerOwitz Of No 636 Madi-
son avenue to attend her. Mrs Becal is said 10
be i'll yet.
Mr.. Strassman said yesterday that he had
found witnesses to cOrroborate Mr.. Becars
statement that the second fare was paid and
that Mr.. Becal and his wife were dragged off the
car with great violence. The fact that Mr.
Becal did not speak English we'll the attorney
said. may have been one reason for the failure Of
the inspectors to understand him when he pro-
tested that he had paid the second fare.
