SPECIAL OFFICERS DRAG
PASSENGERS OFF TRAINS
Brooklyn Road Ignores Justice
Gaynor's Order.
FIGHTING ALL DAY LONG
Women Nearly DrownI-swept From
Trestle-Trolley( Service Stops
at Night-Thodsands Stranded
Great Disorder on the Cars.

Brooklyn, NJ Y.-The Brooklyn
Rapid Transik Company charged ten
cents fare tS' Coney Island, notwith-
standing the decision of Justice Gay
nor of tie Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court, who ruled that the
CT lp2hy was entitled only to five
cents.
The company did this with the aid
OF $50 special policemen and a corps
Of heavyweight inspectors. A SINH.
dar number of real policemen were
on hand to preserve order, but failed
to do so.
Fully 1000 pers,ns, men, women
and children, 're forcibly elected
from the trolley cars; 500 walked
nearly half the way to the island; the
first steps were taken in scores of
damage suits, and the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit representatives defied
Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keeffe
OF Brooklyn. Lawyers and lawyers
clerks swarmed about the points
where passengers were put off and
took the names of witnesses.
AS an outcome of the days doings
a committee of citizens is being
formed in Brooklyn to enforce JUS
tice Gaynor's ruling. Sheriff Flah-
erty of Kings County was informed
of the purpose of the committee, and
that the committee intended to call
on him, as Sheriff, to protect them as
citizens in unfolding their rights.
Sheriff Flaherty said:
Il have not been requested to act
as yet, and I have not taken the mat
ret under advisement. If such a de-
mand was made and I felt that
should act, my force OF deputies is
SO small that I would be compelled
to call upon the Governor of the State
to give me some of the militia"
When the trolley cars bound for
Coney left Gravesend after the B. r.
I. officials had finished their rough
treatment of passengers, a long open
stretch of tracks was in front of
them, and to make up time they
Travelled at terrific speed. Mary and
Helen Walsh, cousins, of No. 405
Tenth avenue, nineteen and twenty
three years old respectively, when
walking across the bridge owe Co.
ney Island Creek, were struck by a
car in charge of Victor Conomos.
They were knocked into the creek
ten feet below. Passengers leaped
into the water and saved them.
Helen Walsh was injured internally,
and was taken to the Coney Island
Reception Hospital. Her cousin was
bruised about the face and shoulders,
but was able to go to her home.
Conomos vas placed under arrest.
Bird S. Coler, President of Brook
Ign Borough, was one of the thou
sands of passengers who went to Co
ney Island. He and his wife were
passengers on a Nostrand avenue ar
for Coney Island. He was RESPONSE
Bile for carrying the case against the
B. r. T. before Justice Gaynor. He
said the actions of the inspectors and
special policemen were d%isgraceful,
and that they should not be per-
mitted to year the uniforms of the
city police, and thus give persons the
impression their actions were those
of the city police. He said he would
advocate an ordinance to deprive
them of the privilege.

DR.. Renouf and Inquisitfve Youth.

Doctor Edward Renouf, collegiate
professor of chemistry at the Johns
Hopkins University, had a student in
one Of his classes some time ago who
pe~rsistentIy asked all sorts Of ques-
lions about everything that CHANGED
to come up in the course Of the lee
lures. He wanted to know the why
and wherefore of all phenomena and
seemed disappointed when his quer-
les anent the marvellous secrets of
the universe were not satisfactorily
answered.
One day Doctor Renouf, who had
always treated the young man with
great courtesy and who had taken
pains to explain chemical facts and
laws to him, became tired of the con-
slant cross-examination and said to
him:
Young man, you remind me of
the fellow who went crazy trying to
find out whether the first egg came
from the first hen or the first hen
from the first egg"
The whole class Joined in a merry
laugh and the inquisitive undergrad
yates questions became fewer and

New York City.-Inspired by the
unexpected success of the crusade to
close the gambling-heuses in Sara
toga, the anti-gapbling element il
the State mas already begun an az
tive campaignfo stop betting on ace
tracks.
The Cassidy-Lansing bill 10 pro-
hibit race track betting, which was
BURIED in committee in the last Leg
islature, will be introduced at the
next session and a determined effort
will be made to pass it, regardless of
what political party is successful at
the polls next November.
Governor Higgins is on record
against race-track betti-g. At the
time the Cassidy-Lansing bill was in
troduced he gave it his Endorsement.
From a moral viewpoint" said
the Governor, 1T is impossible for
me to understand how the act CT a
mar on one side of a fence ~inclosing
a betting ring can be legal when on
the other side of the fence it is a
crime"
If race track patrons cannot bet on
the track they will not go to the
races. This has been established
many times in various parts of this
country. Immense sums invested in
race tracks in New Jersey and Mis-
souri, were recently rendered profit
less by the passage Of a law prohibit
ing betting. New York capitalists
started a running meeting up at
Salem, N. H., last month. The au-
thorities stopped the betting feature
and the first meeting was a ~paralyz-
frost.
The growth of racing in this State
in the last few years has been phe-
nomenal. From 1000 to 10, peo-
pie attend the metropolitan tracks
every racing day, a great majority of
them paying SO apiece for a badge at
the gate. On big days the attend
ance runs up to $4,000 and 10000.
Within the limits of Greater New
York or on it's borders there are six
great race-tracks, representing an in
vestment of probably $4,000, 600 at a
conservative estimate. The other
tracks in the State are at Saratoga
and Buffalo. During the season
IHclS dIS qudTl0IGu AROUND CuS Long
Island tracks upward of 1000 racing
horses, attended by an army of
trainers, stable hands, jockeys, rub
bers and general hangers on.
1t is the contention of the reform
ers that the race tracks constitute
a damaging drain, that they make
thieves and forgers and broken
homes-that they are, in short, an
evil demanding eradication.
The Rev. A. S. Gregg, Field Secre-
tary of the National Reform Blu
reau, is at the head of the fight
against the race tracks. He is one Of
the busiest men that ever engineered
a crusade. Ever since the opening of
the racing season he has been at
work personally and through agents.
He appears to have limitless sums of
money and is t~abulating evidence by
the bale.
He expects to show the Legislature
that betting on the race tracks is
open and fragrant, that p%ooi-rooms
cannot be cut Oh from the news of
the race tracks and that the Jockey
Club-indirectly but none the less
eertainly--profts by race track bet
ting and could not maintain it's ex-
pensive establishments were it not
for the fact that gambling on the
race tracks is allowed.
