MOVING PLATFORM
UNDER BROADWAY.
New York Public Utilities Commission
Is Considering Novel
Proposition.

z NEW YORK, July 20.-The Public Serv-
ice Commission has taken under considera-
alton Il project for the construction of a
moving platform under Broadway, between
Fourteenth and ~Forty-second streets,
which, IL Is commended, would not only
greatly relieve the congestion on this thor
oughfare, but would be OF special benefit
to the shopping and thentre-going crowds.
This project was explained in a
cation from the Continuous Rapid Transit
Securities Company. asking for an oppor-
tunity to give a demonstration of its NOV
ing platform railway. The company claims
a capacity equal to three tines that Of a
hve-cnr train service, under n o%ne-minute
Roadway, and six times that of the best
surface-car trolley traffic.
The proposed moving platform railway
will afford n seating capacity exceeding
1900 passengers an hour In each direction.
This Is three times the seating capacity Of
n train system operating five-car local
trains upon one-minute Roadway. 1t Is APP
proximately six times the seating capacity
of a system of surface tram-cars operated
upon $50 feet headway. III respect to safe
ty, as compared with train and tram-car
operation, particularly In places where
traffic Is conRested, a moments consldera-
ton will show that, even should an indi-
vidual fall in boarding or leaving the plat
form, the risk of serious injury Is slight,
and the aggregate of damage sustained In
comparably less tina by the existing sys-
tens.

MAY NULLIFY TEXAS
INSURANCE LAW
Omission of Provision for Investigating
Value Of Securities Likely to Have
Important Effect.

AUSTIN. Tex. July pa probably null
living omission has been discovered in the
Robertson insurance law which has driven
most life Insurance companies out of
Texas. Among securities received by the
State Treasurer from one OF the insur-
ance companies in the State. was a note
for SIS. 900. given by a plantation company.
To determine whether the note was an
acceptable security, State Treasurer
Sparks consulted Attorney-General David
son and Insurance Commissioner Miller.
An examination of the law was made to
determine whose duty It was to pass on
securities offered, and it was found that
the law failed to make 1t the duty Of any
person to do this. As the law reads, it
appears as though no Investigation into
the value of insurance securities is pro-
vfded, thu probably multiplying the law.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. July 2o.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of 3
points on July, which was influenced by
covering and absence of offerings, while
later months were l to 4 points lower
owing to disappointing cables and good
weather over the belt. Trading was quiet
during the early session and prices were
steadied by weekend covering, which may
have been promoted by bullish weekend
figures, although the business hardly in
dicated any change in the general atti-
tude toward the market. A leading Texas
paper reports that forty bales of new
crop have been ginned at Corpus Christi
agalhst none last year. During the middle
of the morning prices here were steady at
a net advance Of about las points, with
the market showing no special feature.

The taxpayers ticket circulated a

An instance Of some Of the queer

means have had an emergency

lators overlooked tine important
feature, and a. result elections
cannot be legally held this year.
Here is what the Standpoint News
has 10 say on the question:
Sowing 10 the peculiarities OF .
law passed by the late legislature is
seems that there can not be any
school elections held legally in Ida
no this year. The new law changes
the date of holding the school cleo
tions from June TO the 6rst Satur-
day IN April, but inasmuch as the
law had no emergency clause at
tached il will not become operative
until sixty days after the adjourn.
went OF the legislature. which
makes il too late TO hold the school
lelection ON the first Saturday IL
April, and then inasmuch as the Law
will be in effect before the time foi
the June meeting no election cal
legally be held then and from th'
present status IL looks like the oil
officers in the various districts II
the county will have to hold over o
else that the county superintendent
of schools will have to appoint ne'
: trustees. This Of course does nc
apply TO Standpoint as this ls an IL
