MANY WE'RE CALLED.
But One Remained Who Vat
ed IN Fdin for His $3.50.

Kenneth r. Wills recently arrived here
from California with big roll of bills
tucked away in his pocket, with which Ire
expected to do something unusual. He ac-
COmplished his purpose last night, when $50
was taken from him in way that made
him gasp.
Wills told the story of how the money
was separated from him. i'll the West both

restaurant, where he ives dining, sat down
at the table with him and started a con-
versation- The stranger saw a stylshly
dressed man passing the table in a few
minutes, and remarked to wills that that
gentleman is the proprietor" lie called
the proprietor and introduced Wills
Presently the stranger suggested that they
match coins for a little amusement. This
they did, and from small amounts the
stakes grew larger and larger
Let's match for $1,000" said the stran-
ger.
Wills explained that he didn't have 81. 900,
but only $3.50 which he gave the stranger.
Tie stranger, holding the money in his
hand, excused himself while he went out
side TO meet a friend. Presently the pro
prietor' also begged Wills's pardon, for he
was expecting a caller, too. Wills waited
about ten minutes for the two men to re
turn. but unfortunately their friends
were bette: company than Wills.

MORE SEATS TO-DAY
Sub7cay to Put Plan of Its
O7cn an Effect.

Frank Hedley, general manager of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company, has
capitulated to the Public Service Commits
sion. After maintaining that it was impos-
sible TO carry out the order issued February
IS, Mr.. Hedley admitted yesterday that it
was possible 10 provide a better service
than has been given up TO the present time.
He went further and declared that the
new schedule, which he had prepared after
number of consultations with e. G. Con-
nette. transportation engineer of the COM
mission, would give better service than
that provided for in the commissions or
der.
To give an opportunity to Mr.. Hedey to
show that his new schedule will meet re-
quirements. the commission consented at
special meeting yesterday. to stay the
execution Of the former order until March
H. Instead of putting i'll operation last
midnight the order issued in February, the
lnterborough begins to-day n new service
on the Hedley schedule, which calls for the
following:
Headway of one minute and forty-eight
seconds from to 10 a m. and $40 to 6:lO
p. M; headway of two minutes from 10
to 1890 a. m. and 6:1O to 40 p. m: head
way of two and one-half minutes from 10 80
a. m. to 2:56 p. m. and headway of three
minutes from $40 p. m. to midnight
This provides for three hour rush ser
vice in the morning. as against one hour
and twentythree minutes up TO the pres
ent, while the evening rush service is more
than an hour longer according to the new
schedule than that heretofore in vogue
The schedule as present applies only to
express trains. If it proves satisfactory,
however, TIE commission will issue an or
der TO make it apply to the local trains as
well. The company agrees to obey the
other provisions OF the commissions or
der and at every half-hour period will
supply enough trains to give every pas
sengCr a seat.
in order to give two and one-haf min
ute service between 1890 a. m. and 2:55 p. m.
the company purposes to run eight-car ex-
press trains on the LenoX avenue line, but
will cut down its trains to five or six cars
on the Broadway route.

MEN.4CE TO HEALTH.
Jersey City Prosecutor Chief.
Speaker at Hearing.
fBy Telegram 20 The rribulne.

Trenton, y. J., March 7.-Prosecutor
Pierre p. Garvep. Of Jersey City. speak
ing at the hearing on the James cold stor-
age bill he'd beforeet ethe House Committee
OF Labor and Industries this afternoon,
urged the passage OF a bin OF even
stronger provisions than the James meas
uTe, which prohibits the keeping of food
etuffs in coIdS storage for more than six
months. Mr. Garven said that he was
prepared 10 prove that col6 storage food
stuffs were injurious TO the health. Dis
cussins the relation Of cold storage ware
houses and high prices. Mr.. Garven said:
I am informed that poultry which has
lost rs natural color while in cold storage
end has turned either black or green is
washed with some solution which tends TO
restore tie natural color. 1t is positively
known that by thawing out cold storage
poultry in wafer before placing lit on sale
gain ia weight is found of from 10
IL per cent. BY keeping poultry in cold
storage many months the consumer IS
compelled TO pay an exoFbitant price for
IL, not only because il is kept from the
market and the price thereby enhanced,
but also because he has 10 pay for an
Increased weight brought about by the
thaning out process. Further, he is COM
PEELED 10 pay even for the intestineS,
which. of course he cannot use.
In certain cold storage plant in this
state there were stored short time ago
vast quantities of beef liver. This liver
appeared to bS as black as coal and as
hard as stone. X amounted to hundreds
Of pounds. Tt had been in cold storage
for several months, and | am told that in
order TO restore il TO life il is placed in
water. thawed out and purchased by the
consumer as fresh liver.
Professor Herman G. Losman told of a
turkey which had been placed in cold
storage on January l. 19aS and taken out
on February -. 1910. and which. when
fhswed out emitted a disagreeable odor.
The skin. re said. stuck 10 the zones. He
also told of a chicken which had been
stored only one month in a modern cold
storage plant While the chicken looked
sound, the professor said that a nauseous
stencil came from the entras. He urged
that when animals and fowl were put in
cold storage the entrails should first be re-
moved, for without this precaution even a
short time in storage would result in much
deterioration He also said that such prod
-mcts should first be thoroughly washed.
They are not so washed.
J.. A. Adams. president OF the Union Ter
minal Cold Storage Company of Jersey
City. read a long statement IN support of
the argument of the cold storage men that
they benefit mankind. The statement held
that the storage Of foodstuffs was a boon
10 mankind in that the process enabled the
keeping Of food products which would
otherwise go to waste until such time as
there was a shortage. The cold storage, he
said, was also "A great help TO the little re-
taller. He declared that all roodstuffs sent
10 his warehouse Were first inspected be-
fore being stored. This he said, however.
