CENTRAL's REPLY BELITTLED.
Freight Diversion Not Feared by City's
Counsel in Track Removal Case.

At the final session of the hearing before
former Judge d. Cady Herrick referee in
the proceedings brought by the city for the
removal of the tracks of the New York
Central from Eleventh avenue, William B.
Burr, Assistant Corporation Counsel, said
yesterday that the declaration of ira D.
for the company, that IL the tracks were
removed the railroad would be compelled
TO divert its freight to Boston and other
points for distribution should not be taken
seriously.
After a bitter wrangle between counsel
on the question of the pleadings. the ref
cree announced that he would decide the
whole matter on the questions as to
whether the company had any right to oc-
cupy the streets OF the city, if such per-
mission had lapsed in 1886. when the cor
porate existence of the Hudson River Rail-
road Company expired, and whether the
operation of trains in Eleventh avenue and
other streets in the city constituted a nui-
sance
IF these tracks are on the streets iIle
gaIy they are IA nuisance" said former
Judge Charles +. Brown, speaking for tha
railway company. II they are there legal
ly they are not nuisance Even If their
operation constituted a nuisance IL u,c,Iid
not justify the removal Of the tracks Tbt.
remedy would be To abate the nuisance ,ot
10 tear up the tracks" 'io'
In conclusion counsel said that the citv
had no rignt 10 question the franchise al
all, put tHat IL was matter for the state
TO decide. Referee Herrick gave COUNSEL
for both sides two days in which 10 fiIa

BUYING so. PAC. CONTROL.
u. P. Railroad Said To Be Increasing
Stock Holdings to 81 Per Cent.

The Union Pacific Railroad Company,
according to information received from
quarters that should be well informed in
The matter. has recently purchased consid-
cradle amounts of stock of the Southern
Pacific Company, with the purpose, it is
understood, of bringing its holdings in that
road up to 81 per cent of the total capital
stock.
This action has been taken, it is said, to
protect absolutely the Union Pacific in it's
control Of the Southern Pacific. and was
accomplished at this time to forestall any
legislation which might be enacted pro-
hibiting common carriers from acquiring
stock in other roads. 1t is we'll known that
President Taft is in favor Of some such
legislation. as he has made public an
rouncement of his views on the subject
on various occasions.
The Union Pacific, through the Oregon
Short Line, has for several years owned
approximately 10 per cent of the capital
stock OF the Southern Pacific Company
which. for all practical purposes. consti-
tuted control.

MAYOR MoLLIFIEs MR.. SMITH.
Ex-Park Commissioner Satisfied with
Mr.. GaYnor's Exclamation.

Ex-Park Commissioner Smith said yes
terday that Mayor Gaynor had vindicated
him in saying that he was not the COM
missioner referred to as having employed

For more than eight hundred men in
the Park Department" said Mr. Smith, Il

some fossil foremen ! did not"
Mr. Smith said he had heard of the plans
of Clinton II. Smith. the deposed board
secretary, TO humiliate him if he appeared

ninistration, but he added that the actions
of Clinton H. Smith were not bothering
him.

Higgins of the Bronx were the only two
members of the Park Board present at the
meeting held yesterday at the Arsenal.

CITY BANK HELD UP
NAN SHOT Is DYING.
-Four Poles Adopt Jesse James
Tactics and Tzco Get 4scdu.

well planned bank hold-up in typical
Western style occurred yesterday shortly
after noon in the banking and money ex-
change Office of Hyman Korn. at No. 1920
Manhattan avenue. Williamsburg.
Two men walked into the banking office
and with drawn revolvers commanded
,selig Korn, q brother OF the proprietor.
10 hand over all the money in the safe,
amounting to 5000. and failing to get it
shot and mortally wounded him. The
hold-up came at g time when the streets
were crowded with children who had been
dismissed at the noon recess from two
public schools in the neighborhood.
Korn was in the place at the time with
his brother, the proprietor. who had just
returned from luncheon. There were also
two young women in the rear of the place
doing clerical work. while the cashier,
Henry Hollander. was behind his desk.
When the two robbers entered they
stepped UP TO the window where Hollander
was and demanded all the money in the
safe. Selig, who was near the cashier.
overheard the demand and rushed out from
behind to grapple with the robbers. AS
he did so the youngest Of them, who
afterward said he was Lazana Mados.
seventeen years old, without a home.
latter grabbed for it Mados shot him in
the throat
The other robber didn't shoot, but turned
70 run out. Korn had fallen. and the
shouting of the clerk and two women
caused Mados TO also make all haste to
get away. Many persons in the street had
heard the shooting and the screams Of the
women and caught hold Of the robbers.
Then ii became known that the bandits
had two accomplices in the street. These
also had revolvers, which they began to
discharge in the air to terrify the crowd.
Marcus Baer, an insurance agent Of No.
b96 Manhattan avenue. received q wound IN
his forehead from a glancing bullet.
When the accomplices had emptied their
revolvers, after having imperilled the lives
OF many school children. they ran away,
going down Greene street in the direction
OF the East River. They escaped, but the
other two were held by the crowd, after
having fought desperately, until Policemen
Robinson and Graham appeared They
placed the men under arrest and took them
at once TO the Greenpoint avenue police
station.
Meanwhile. a hurry call was sent TO the
Williamsburg Hospital for an ambulance.
which brought DR.. Laub. He found Korn
dying and lost no time in taking him to the
hospital On tie way the ambulance
stopped in front Of the police station, where
the two prisoners were brought out to the
sidewalk. and as DR.. Laub raised the dying
mans head the latter looked at the pris-
oHers and said that they were his assail-
ants.
The other prisoner besides Mados was
John Fischer, thirty years old, who also
said he had no home. He declared to the
police that he was led to do wrong by
Mados and the two other men. whose iden-
tity was unknown to him.
The police learned that the prisoners had
been noticed for more than q week loiter-
ing near the banking Office. All Of them
were Poles, as were also Korn, the pro-
prietor nf the bank, and his brother who
was shot.

GAS FRAUD CHARGED
Brooklyn Lazoyer Alleges Eua-
sion of 8O-Cent Lac.

New Workers are not getting much bene-
Mt from the enactment of the SO-cent ga 8
law, If the complaint of Louis j. Altkrug,
Brooklyn lawyer about the gas compa-
nies is to be believed
Mr. Altkrug, in a letter he wrote to SEN
ator Kissel, of Kings, on December Is, de-
clares the companies have found way
to evade the intention of the law and keep
up their profits by pumping air into the
gas mains He says in his letter:
A comparison of gas bills of any large
eight years will show that for the same
number of lights the gas bills are about
the same. In other words, through some
process the gas company is keeping up
the bills, where they ought to be 20 per
cent less. OF course, it stands to reason
that air blown through pipe will cause
because air is a form of gas and air
costs the gas. company nothing There
fore, OF what use is the reduction in the
price of gas unless an agent is stationed
at the place where the gas is forced
through the mains to see that gas, and
not air, is forced through?
Senator Kissel sent the letter to the
Public Service Commission. The SEN
ator asked what might be done in the mat
ter. Chairman Wilcox. in his answer.
suggested that the Public Service Com
missions law be amended so that the com
mission could begin a proceeding upon the
complaint of one consumer or upon it's
own motion. The law, as it stands, requires
complaint from the Mayor of the city or
from one hundred consumers in the case of
a gas or electric company, whereas the
commission can act either upon its own
motion or upon the complaint of one indi-
vidual in the case of transportation COM
panies.
Robert E. Livingston, of the Consoli-
dated Gas Company. characterized the
letter as only one of a lot of general at
tacks based on no specific case and de-
serving no consideration from the COM
mission. AS air had no Illuminating power
and would serve only to reduce the candle
power, he said, the complaint was ridicu-
ious on its face. The gas had to be kept
up to a 22-candlepower standard, as re-
Quired by law.

he Will become vice-president in charge of
maintenance and operation Of the Chicago

railroads, commonly known as the Haw-
ley lines. This effectively disposes of
recent report that he was to succeed Theo-
dore P Shonts as president OF the Inter

The announcement of Mr.. Ackert's resig-
nation from the Southern Railway was made
in Washington by President Finley. E.
H Chapman. manager of the road. it was

Following the announcement from Wash

dent OF the Hawley roads. announced Mr.
Ackert's new connection.
When the rumor that Mr.. Shonts would
retire as head of the Interborough system

official quarters. Mr.. Shonts said he had

PLANS FOR CENSUS
FALCK BARS POLITICS.
WM Establish Nezg Basis for
Enum Grafton.

ALBERT F9lck, supervisor of the federal
census for New York County is busy out
inning his plan of campaign in a large suite
of offices at No. 115 Broadway.
Applications for places is enumerators
are being received, and Mr.. Falck wants
1t understood that any one may expect
to have such an application receive at
tention up to January 25, when the list
will be closed. a formal examination will
be held on February s. after which 1,50O
names will be selected for the work in
hand.
There is absolutely no politics in this
work." said Mr.. Falck yesterday. "and
merit alone will guide me in selecting my
enumerators. 1 want to have men con-
versant with the language, manners and
customs Of various quarters of the city,
so that we may send TO each district a
man who will be most successful in get
ting information
In former years the federal census has
been taken according to assembly election
districts. but this will be changed this
year. I'VE will try to divide the city up
into forty-acre tracts as nearly as pos
sible," said Mr.. Falck. "and we want to
have about approximately two thousand
inhabitants in each enumeration district.
The districts will be mapped out with these
two Ideas in mind. I have had one con-
ference with the chief geographer of the
census and I have an assistant who will
devote himself to this branch of the work
I'VE expect that the districts we map
out now will remain the basis for future
work along this line. They will be OF
great value, in connection with the figures
for each district which we shall obtain,
to sociological and philanthropic workers
There are number Of organizations of
that character that tell me they are wait
ing for the completion of our census in
order to map out new and more scieptifc
campaigns of betterment both for the city
as a whole and for its individual citi-
zens."
Mr.. Falck is starting a small campaign
of education among the foreign born citi-
Zens through publications in their Ian
guages, so that they may understand that
the census is something from which they
will benefit and is not the workings of a
parental government trying to pry into
their affairs in a way which they learned
to abhor in their native lands
The normal pate of compensation for
enumerators is 212 cents a name, but Mr..
Falck says he hopes to vary this in va
of the work, so that each enumerator may
be able to make the same amount as his
fellow, If such thing is possible.
In addition to figures on population Mr..
Falck is also burdened with the duty of
getting the agricultural figures for this
county So far, he says, he hasn't been
able to find any large farms, although
there are a few pastoral inhabitants in
The Bronx. Horses and COWS, however,
come under Mr. Falck's jurisdiction, and
he expects to find a few "bossies" and
such horses as the automobiles have not
driven out of the city.
Mayor Gaynor has assured Mr.. Falck
that he will do all in his power to assist
In the work of the census Mr.. Falck will
ask the Mayor to give him the use of
several public schools for the holding of
the examinations for enumerators.
