CITIZENS CONTINUE
FIGHT FOR LOW FARE
JACOB FURTH COMES OVER To CONFER WITH BEAN, BUT
EXPECTED INJUNCTION IS NOT sECURED-PDOPLE WIII.
FIGHT A FINISH NOW.

Jacob Furth of the Stone-Web-
ster company is in town today in
communion with Manager Bean
OF the street railway company,
policemen are on every car from
Fern Hill station to the city limits
to see that no breaches of the
peace occur in the attempts of
conductors and street car bouncers
to eject citizens who pay but one
fare and the street railway war
for five cents is still on, with no
immediate chance of relief.
1t was rather expected the
street car company would rush in
to court today and get out whole
sale injunctions to stop the citi-
pens from their career of inde-
pendence, but at o'clock no ac-
tion had been taken and Attor-
ney Grosscup said he knew of none
contemplated.
Trouble Expected Tonight.
Chief of Police Mallory said
this afternoon that everything
was quiet along the line and there
was no disturbance. He was not
guessing what might occur to-
night when the people go home.
and more trouble is expected.
City Attorney Stiles said he
did not know what the company
contemplated, unless II intends to
just keep on running cars, bounc-
ing all 1t can and collecting all 1t
can, in the hope that the people
will get tired of the fight and
gradually yield.
II don't know that we are 60
ing to do anything but just run
cars" said Mr.. Grosscup this aft
ernoon.
MIR. Furth and Manager Bean
were together all day. Whether
they are framing up some coupe
win probably not be known until
It Is played, il they have any
thing. Attaches of federal court
weR rather surprised today when
no appeal for injunctions was
made there.
Hot Times Last Night.
Last night there were warm
times.
The people began riding
through for five cents. And the
company bouncers attempted to
throw them off. Whenever any
conductor and his victim lost
their tempers and began to ex-
change blows then the police
stepped in and made arrests. Six
names were on the books this
morning.
But the people maintained their
ground well. 1t was like a cane
rush In the cars a good part of
the time. There was due observ-
ance OF the rules and few blows
were struck. but there was an aw-
full tugging and showing. Force Of
numbers won, however. the peo-
pie had the majority and they used
IL to prevent citizens being thrown
off the cars and to put them back
when they did get off.
Fnghfing Spirit Busy
When they discovered that
numbers would do 1t they organiz-
ed a commfttee of husky men and
they went In and out with each
car. paying their farce both ways
to protect every man who came
through on five cents.
At 1:45 this afternoon Manager
Bean announced that they were
taking no action In the courts but
were standing pat on their rights

Havana Street Railway Man Reports
the Latest improvements.

New York, May 2S.-Frank Stein
hart, who used to be consul general
for the United States at Havana, but
who is now general manager of the
Havana Electric railway, an Ameri-
can concern, came up recently from
Havana by the Florida route and re.
ported that the street railway bust
mes down there is fiourishing and that
the company is building thirty-six
miles of new road.
I'VE are operating now tifty-eight
miles," Mr.. Steinhart said at the I'm
perial hotel, and we are now running
line out to Marinao, nine miles, be-
sides extending our other lines. The
Cubans are great users of the troll
ley cars. Travel of that kind is great
er in Havana than in an American
city of the same size. There are no
Coney Islands as yet, but there are
the baseball park and the race track,
and they are very popular We ope-
rate five separate lines, with a COM
plete transfer system.
I'VE are now building two new pow
eT stations, one at ASuduOlCe anu lue
other at MaTinao, and we are also
building a new home for employees
at Jesus del Monte. Our idea is to
provide the man with comfortable
quarters, including baths, and with
perfect sanitary arrangements at a
moderate cost. We keep three doc
tors, an oculist, dentist and CHR.
opodist, whose services are free to
every man who belongs to the society
of the employees.
In the last three years we have in
creased the rolling stock of the rail
way 100 percent For motormen, and
conductors we employ Cubans, though
we have a good number of American
engineers and other employees.
The last was the best tourist sea
son Havana ever had. With the three
big new hotels which had been opened
adequate accommodation was provd-
ed. / do not think any more hotels
will be put up next year. Business OF
every kind is improving and the island
generally is enjoying prosperity.
There is still a great opportunity
