SIDE DOOR CAR CHANGES.
Alterations In the Experimental Train
Before II Is Put on Again.

The public hearing which the Public
Service Commission had arranged to
hold yesterday on the tentative order
which was issued directing the Inter
borough company to equip all its subway
cars with side doors was postponed until
Tuesday because OF the inability of Bion
~. Arnold. the commissions consulting
engineer. to get here from Chicago In
time TO attend the hearing. Before the
adjournment was taken it was announced
by the commission that the experimental
side door train which h-3 been in opera
ton in the subway for nearly two weeks
would in a few days be withdrawn for
the purpose Of making alterations in the
cars.
Among the changes will be the insertion
of inflated rubber cushions in the door
jambs so as 70 prevent accidents by the
catching OF coats and dresses when the
doors are closed by the pneumatic proc
ess. The doors will have handles affixed
to them on the outside Tor the purpose OF
enabling the station platform men to assist
in the opening and shutting OF the doors
and large signs will be hung inside the cars
directing passengers to leave by the side
doors. One Of the criticisms made by
General Manager Hedley and other off,
cials Of the marlborough company against
the new style Of oars Ia that the parti-
tons on the car platforms prevent the
guards getting proper oversight Of the
sfse doors. The commission has decided
that these bulkheads. as they are called.
shall be knocked out OF all cars in future
fitted with the side doors. % =

POLICEMAN DEAD on POST.
Another One FINDS Him IN Brooklyn Yard
Probably Fell Down stairs.

Policeman Thomas Smith of the Adamt
street precinct. Brooklyn. was found dead
in the rear yard of house at POS Bridge
street soon after midnight this morning.
Policeman Peter Bree. whose post
adjoins Smiths, was searching for Smith
late in the night when he stumbled across
his body at the foot Of an outside stair
case. There was a deep cut over Smith q
right temple and 1t was at first thought
that he had met with foul play.
Inspector Hoolihan and a squad OF de-
tectives got to work on the case at once.
They arrested Nathan Caplan. a tailor
who occupies the first floor of the house.
as a material witness and from the stories
of the tailor and hi wife they think that
they have solved the puzzle Of the death.
Mrs. Csplsn said that at O'Clock she
heard noise in the yard and when she
look ed out she saw Smith going TO the
second floor. That was the last she heard
of him until Bree found his body.
Inspector Hoolihan thinks that Smith
had been led into the back yard to investi-
gate something and in the darkness had
fallen down the long flight Of stairs and
struck his head on the tagging at the foot
DR. Cole Of the Brooklyn Hospital said
that fractured skull had killed Smith.

the Texas Legislature and make talk TO
the lawmakers. Is preparing TO give the
legislators the benefit Of his experience as
financier and railroad builder. He has
talked a great deal about the Texas laws
end how they stunt the growth and devel-
opmeht Of the States resources since he
came here. He Is outspoken against
Texass III treatment OF capital and he
will repeat much OF this and more with
perhaps greater emphasis W hen he talks TO
the Legislature, which is now In session.
Approaching the opportunity the oc-
casion gives him Of indulging in a heart
u heart talk with the lawmakers, his
idea is to reason with them and convince
them rather than lecture OF censure them.
He will introduce facts and figures from
actual experiences to prove that Texas
has lost many millions Of dollars which
have heen frightened away by adverse
legislation. He will show them that
while the railroads are entitled TO reason
able interest on their millions invested
in Texas rarely have they earned as much
as per cent. He will show the law
makers where Texas has lost at least
1900 miles Of railroad and at least t20,-
100000 IN railroad improvements and
projects within the last three years be-
cause Of Texas's laws enacted and pro-
posed.
During Mr.. Hariman's s sojourn here he
has devoted a great deal Of time studying
conditions in Texas and with special
reference to legislation affecting CORPORA
tions. He has been collecting valuable
information which will serve him well In

SNAKE DIES 4 MARTYR.
Fer-De-IAnce That Gave Its Poison TO
Mankind Killed by OvereNcitement.

There Is no more lachesis in this city;

only fer-de-lance, or lacheeis trigono-
cephalus lanceolatus. resident in New
York was found dead yesterday in its
glass enclosed case at the Bronx Zoo.
An autopsy made by Curator Ditmars
showed that the snake had died from
a rupture OF the valves Of the heart, pro-
duced II is thought from overstimula-
ton or excitement.
The late lachesis made a substantial
contribution to the homeopathic phar-
macop1ia last April. when Curator Dit
mars induced it TO give up sixteen drops
Of its poison by getting mad at piece Of
cheeseclsth and biting IL.
The poison went to Edward W. Runyan,
a homeopathic druggist, who made it
up into solution to be used in the treat
ment Of certain forms Of insanity and
nervous diseases. The supply then OBJ
tained is sufficient to last the trade for
eighty years.

This was the man who made the defence
that he could not have committed the

Green was accused Of robbing Frank
Baker and dragging him through an alley
way between two buildings. where. it is
alleged. he stripped Oh his clothing and
left him lying ip the cold After his coz
viction on the testimony Of Baker his
attorney, Penjamin Fagin. moved for a
new trial. calling the attention of the
Court to the fact that the prisoner. who
weighed $50 pounds. could not have gone
through an alleyway only % inches
wide. to say nothing of having dra gged
a man with him.
The argument seemed 10 be good one.
and Judge Platt adjourned the case until
To. day and directed Assistant District
Attorney Davis. with the court officers.
TO take a trip to Ossining and examine
the alleyway. They did 50. and this morn
ing Mr. Davis made an affidavit TO the
Court in which he reported that he had
been able 10 squeeze through the alley
way and that there were four other en-
frances to the rear yard which Green
might have used. Lawyer Fagin had
Green measured in the court room and il
was found that he was 5S inches around.

offers Of 500 each for various birds il they
would return them to their original
owners. One man offered as high as $500
for a single bird. This was the famous

of New York State. He was owned by a
Mount Vernon butcher and weeks before

and sherry wine to make him pu ugnacious,

The society would not permit the birds
TO be returned to their owners, nor would
they allow them 10 pass to any private
ownership, for the reason that 1t might
encourage the breeding and fighting Of
gamecocks. The whole consignment was
therefore destroyed in a gas tank, and the
employees OF the society report that they
expired without a struggle. The bodies
were disposed Of as offal.
