ton are tnat Immediately after the
present arrangement was started. a
strike on the street railroad deprived
the company OF the service OF one
thousand experienced men, causing
very great confusion and loss in the
operation Of the property, so that for
the month OF May there was a deficit
OF about $50 200. In the month oil
June. the influence Of the strike con
tinulng, there was a deficit OF about
1913. 900. In the month Of July there
was a surplus Of about $4,000, ana
every appearance indicates a continu-
ed and growing surplus from the OPP
Grafton of the property.
By reason of the fact that there Is
no coin now in circulation valued at
3 cents. the use Of tickets is neces-
sary. 1t is Impossible for a conductor
to make the change necessary to col
lect three cent fares in money from
a heavily laden car. To encourage
buying tickets the present company
has required the rayment OF five cents
as cash fare, but five tickets are sold
for Is cents, and SO per cent. OF the
people now riding In Cleveland use
tickets and so pay three cents fare,
while only 4 per cent pay the cash
fare OF five cents, and this 4 per cent.

to say that the experiment is in any
sense a failure and an unprejudiced
observer would hesitate far less to

FROM Mr.. N. D. BAKER
Tells Of Operation of Street Railways
In Cleveland and incidentally States
That He Is Not a Candidate to
Succeed Mr.. Johnson as Mayor
Of Cleveland.

August 20. 1908.
Editor Of the Evening World,
Dear Sir:-I desire to correct the
statements made in your issue OF
August IS with regard to the street
railroad situation In Cleveland, which
were no doubt copied fIom some
other newspaper as being OF interest
to your readers. The traction lines
OF Cleveland are not owned or opera
ted by the city of Cleveland. but by
a private company whica Is pledged
to devote the surplus earnings above
6 per cent. interest upon the physical
value OF the property, to one OF the
other f'three objects: 1, reducing
the rate of fare; 2. improving service;
3, acquiring the ownership OF the
property from the stockholders for the
benefit Of the city when it Is by law
authorized to W the property. The
city has not, therefore, lost $4,000
a month. or any other sum, by reason
OF the present plan of street railroad
operation.
Mr.. Johnson has not failed in his
efforts to maintain the three cent
fare in Cleveland, nor are any sub
stantial number OF passengers requir-
ed to pay a larger sum for street. rail-

LIVELY Tits.

The Foss- Brown breach Of promise
case. which has been In progress be-
fore Judge Brooke for several days.
was enlivened Tuesday morning by
several tits between the defendant,
David A. Brown. and K. S. Greece. at
torney for the plaintiff.
The defendant was on the stand for
REORGANIZATION. and he had just
made a statement regarding an alleged
remark OF Mr.. Greco. 10 which the lat
ter took exception.
when did | say such a thing? Did
you ever know me before this case
came up?" the lawyer asked.

case came up" the witness replied

| sold newspapers on the streets OF
Detroit, and you still owe me IL cents
for papers. have dunned you for IL
for good many years. but never got
anything" This retort produced an
outburst OF laughter which the judge
made no effort to suppress.
At another time Brown was being
questioned about post card he is al
legged to have written from Florida to
the plaintiff. at time when he was
soldier He admitted sending her a
card, but swore that the one shown
him had been tempered with.
What do you mean by tempered
WITH" the assorney asked.
Il mean It has been changed and
words added" he replied. 1T has
been In your possession for a long
time. and that Is enough for me-"
hot by this time. and denied vigorous
ly having altered the card In any way.
"I'll stake my life on It," he de-
clared.
That's favorite expression OF
yours" Attorney Groesbeck retorted.
You have staked your life on dozen
things In this trial that you haven't
been able to prove"
Another clash followed some min
utes later when Mr.. Greco mentioned
a photo that had been exhibited Mon
day. Brown charged the attorney
with switching photos. claiming that
the Que shown the witness was not
the one marked by the court stenog-
rapher. Mr.. Greco denied the charge,
and It was repeated by Mr., Groesbeck.
The defendant scored a victory
Tuesday. when Judge Brooke ruled to
exclude from the Jury a number OF
letters alleged to have been written
by the defendant to Miss Foss. when
he was a soldier. The judge held that
II would not be in the interest OF
public policy to permit Of the intro
duction OF letters written while the
plaintiff was a married woman. as no
promise made then could be binding.
However. he gave permission to the
plaintiffs attorney to question the
defendant about the letters, but no
mention was to be made OF the con-
