GRAND JURY ATTACKS FARRELL.
Says Head of Training School Had Something
to Conceal-He Calls It Outrage

The Kings County, Grand Jury. in Dresentment
yesterday denounced the methods employed by
James p. Farrell, superintendent OF the Disciplinary
Training School. The jury says the Commissioners
OF Accounts might well spend some time in loo k
ing over the records of the institution. After de-
cIaring that the school is badly lighted. the pre-
sentiment says that Mr.. FarreTs attitude in the
grand jury that of official who had
something conceal rather than one who was
eager TO take the public into his confidence.
Mr. Farrell said last night
Il have been here rine years, and during that
time sixty-nine grand juries have visited this
school and have said word of censure. / be
lieve this presentment the result of personal
animus on the part of the foreman. One grand
Juror has written to me that he considers the

TO WIDEN SUBW AY LOOP
Board of Estimate V0tes S87j 900
and GiUes 4pWOcaI to Ne7C Plans.

The Board of Estimate voted yesterday 10 appro-
PIRATE $4,000 for work of changing the Cham
bers street station of the Brooklyn loop line of the
subway from four track to six track way 1t is
estimated that additional appropriation of
100000 will be required for the acquisition Of other
property
The Public Service Commission made request
for this money last March, but a special committee
to which the matter referred had refused TO
report until now, declaring that under the present
conditions OF transit development the change would
not -be expedient The committee reported yester-
day that in view Of the amendment of the rapid
transit law and the recent receipt of definite pro-
posals fer the construction of a comprehensive
subway extension the prospect for bids for the
operation of the loop line and for traffic Tor the
Chambers street station was good. The money was
voted on the strength of this report.
To the request the commission that ii be given
authority to advertise at once for tentative bids
for the construction of the Lexington avenue and
Brooklyn subways and other projected routes the
Board of Estimate replied that there was no law
requiring its approval of such procedure in the
preparation of contracts. The board also expressed
the opinion that the plan in view would bring the
best possible results to the city.
This action of the board signifies that the Public
Service Commission may receive the bids of
the Bradey-Cia Corporation the Inter-
borough and any other companies which may de
sire to submit estimates for the construction OF
subways
