PLUGGED NICKEL FOR 13
Gypsy and Her Brood Tie Up
Crosstown Traffic.

A gypsy and her twelve children rode
in a 125th street crosstown car from the
Fort Lee ferry to Eighth avenue last
evening without paying any fare. The
nearest she came to paying was when
she gave the conductor one plugged
nickel to pay the transportation charges
for the party. When the conductor re-
fused the coin and demanded that she
either pay for herself and three Of the
children who were Of suitable age or
tination she calmly ignored him.
After a wait of several minutes at
Broadway the conductor decided TO pro-
ceed before traffic got into such a snarl
that the temper of the homegoing crowd
would be lost. At Eighth avenue an in
spector boarded the car, and when he
saw the condition of affairs-all the
available space occupied by thirteen
gypsies and their goods and chattels-he
was furious. When he found that they
were not even paying for the accommo-
dations he was more furious. A number
Of conductors and motormen left their
cars and assisted in putting the woman
off. The children followed
The conductor explained that the gyp-
sizes got into the car before he had taken
his position at the entrance and that
they compounded their failure to pay as
you enter by refusing TO pay at all

KILLED IN GRAND CENTRAL
TarrytoWn Merchant Missed
Car: Was Crushed to Death.
BIG CROWD SEES ACCIDENT
Unable to Render Assistance tor
Fear of Third Rail-Women
Faint at Sight.

In sight of several hundred commuters
yesterday afternoon, on the concrete
concourse of the temporary depot OF the
New York Central Railroad Jonn
Felter. a retired merchant and a Grand
Army veteran, was crushed between the
electric shoe of a Tarrytown local train
and the concourse. He lived for a re"
minutes after the accident.
Mr.. Felter was returning from fish
ing excursion. He reached the depot
barely a minute before the train he
wanted to take, the 5:4l o'clock Tarry-
town local. was to leave from Track 4.
He ran for the train, but instead OF
entering the rear car he ran up the
platform until he had reached the sec
ond car from the motor car. He caught
hold of the handrail and swung himself
up on the steps. Just as he reached the
car platform he lost his balance and fell
headlong to the concourse.
Passengers cried out with horror as
they saw him fall close to the edge,
and three women tainted AS he
struck the platform, head foremost, his
right leg slipped in between the shoe OF
the next car and the concourse. and his
body was drawn under the slowly NOV
ing train.
A porter standing at the end of the
concourse, hearing Mr.. Felter's cry and
seeing him fall. signalled to the motor
man. William Rankin, to stop the train.
Putting on the emergency brakes,
Rankin brought the train, which was
moving slowly, to a sudden stop before
it had gone half car length.
The guards of the train jumped down
and ran to the mans assistance
BY this time more than five hun
dred people had crowded into the
narrow space. Because of the danger of
coming into contact with the third rail
none dared to go to his aid. until E. J.
Davies, a guard. placed his arms around
the mans shoulders and lifted him out

the New York Central. who is stationed

EFFECTIVE WORK FOR DIS
TRICT LEGISLATION.

At best it is a difficult matter to get
through Congress the legislation which
the citizens Of the District regard As
nccdful. Realizing these difficulties the
various civic organizations and uUmcr-
Gus other associations have petitioned
the Commissioners and the District
Committees with respect to the needs
of particular sections of the city. The
result has been that Congress has been
bombarded with requests for all sorts
of legislation.
When the new Commissioners gave a
hearing to the civic associations re-
Gently we pointed out that much better
results would be obtained IN getting
legislation by means of harmonious ac-
tion, subordinating if necessary the
needs of a particular section in order
that legislation beneficial to the entire
city may have the right OF way.

that better results viii be obtained if
