POOR SUBWAY SERVICE.
Many Complain That Sunday Er-
presses Are Too Fee.

Many complaints being voiced in various
quarters that the subway express service on Sun
days IS fast retrograding toward the point it had
reached when Chief Engineer Rice forced TO
make drastic recommendations to the Rapid Tran
sit Commission about year ago. People VINO use
this service at regular hours each Sunday that
after the report the investigation which Mr.
Rice conducted the Interborough improved the
Sunday service materially, that trains were run
at frequent intervals and standing neces-
sary.
Express trains Sunday afternoons now are
crowded when they reach SSth street. those who
travel regularly by the subway declare. From 72d
street downtown il seems almost impossible TO
obtain a seat. Those who get at the Grand
Central Station to ride TO Brooklyn Bridge have
to stand. One regular subway passenger who rides
between the Grand Central Station and Brooklyn
Bridge said yesterday that on sunday 1T aDout $3.50
press train. and when one came it was packed TO
the doors with passengers. This condition mad pre-
vailed for many weeks. he said
Chief Engineer Rice of the Rapid Transit Com
borough tried to operate many trains possible
as 1t was to the companys advantage Il transport
as many passengers as it could. At times. though
he had found the service somewhat spaSmodic
had no adequate method for gauging ths traffic
time enough In advance to enable them 10 make
proper provision for 4 heavy day. The Sunday
schedules ordinarily do not provide FOR as many
hours. Mr. Rice said that weekdays the cCm-
pany was operating all the express trains II was
possible 10 shoot past S6th street in given period
OF time II he found falling off in the service he
would make complaint to the operating company
and always had found the company willing to i'm
prove its service when 1t was possible 20 40

maid device, which used for the first time a.
the New York HippOdromp when Neptune $
Daughter produced. is an invention of H. /.
Bowdoin. Of this city. and il protected by Amer

countries The preliminary reports from the Lon

IN which mermaids appear in the water tank and
the concluding scene takes place under the sea

PRIEST AGITATEs FOR TROLLEY LINE
Father Nageleiser Working Hard for an
Electric Service in Rockland County.

Nyack y y Dec. "a (SpeciaD.--Behind a move
ment which many believe will eventually give
Rockland County good trolley system is Father
John Nageleiser His efforts in the eastern end of
the county TO push the project have attracted much
attention. In a recent speech at the Nyack Town
Han Father Nageleiger made vigorous appeal
for trolley system. He has stirred up great inter
est in his project among members of Various de-
nominations and creeds If the State Railroad Com
mlssioners appreciate the publics demand for a
trolley system, Father Nageleser's work will not
be in vain.
The Rockland County priests work has brought
out the fact that the Rev John g. Ladd, of the
Methodist Church. who breaches in a circuit Of
churches. has application pending before the
State Railroad Commissioners asking for trolley
system which would connect three Of his churches
and also serve six villages.

PERJURY IN REGISTRATION

II is TO be assumed that some fool
or politician will come forward with a
great fanfare and attempt to make pc.
men charged with perjury in connec.
ton with the registration of voters.
The policy of misrepresentation
which has prevailed hitherto in the
campaign is the ground for this rs.
sumption.
II IL also TO be assumed that the
community will appreciate that Il Is a
mighty good thing for illegal registra.
ton of any character TO be ferreted
cut.
Furthermore, II Is a source of con-
graduation. an attest of the honesty
OF prevailing political methods, that
in all the six thousand.odd voters reg.
istered in this County only ten are
to come within the pale of a Grand
Jury indictment for swearing to an
untruth.
Only one side OF these cases has
been heard. II is a question whether
jury would convict the men now under
indictment.
But taking the situation as II NAV
be misrepresented by the artists of
political invention, the standard OF po-
htical honesty Is not so very low when
the Grand Jury, cooperating with the
Governors Office and the politicians
who are trying to prove Oahu a hot.
bed of corruption, finds probable
cause in but ten cases.
II Is well to bear in mind that there
II no question of the right of these
men to vote in the County. Their
wrong.doing consists In their alleged
perjury in stating their residence.
They are not repeaters, and 1t would
be next TO impossible to work any re-
peater dodge under their names.
