A LARGE CROWD HEARD COLLEGE BOYS

To crowd that packed the He
trick the University of Michigan
musical clubs gave the first of the
Santa Fe reading room entertain
ments for this season on Sunday
evening. Besides the Glee Club the
college boys were represented by
their mandolin club and artists on
other musical instruments so that
the total number was forty-three
musicians. Every number on the
program pleased the audience. One
of the unique features was the song
by the glee club when the boys had
arranged themselves In the platform
in the form Of letter M, the initial
of their alma mater. Then with the
colored lights adding to the effect
they sang more of their college songs.
"The Old Kentucky Home" was one
of the most pleasing numbers.
In giving up Their Christmas vaca-
tion at home the Michigan boys re-
ceive no salary but they have an
opportunity for an extensive and in
teresting rail.oad trip as the schedu' e
for the Santa Fe entertainments will
take them to the Pacific coast.

Will Increase Size
Of Banner Gas Line
Council Also to Allow Truitt
to Lay Individual Pipe
Line.

The council al its meeting Monday
night authorized the gas committee
to use enough of the clty's five and
five eighths gas pipe from Its east
line to replace the two inch pipe
which is now part of the Banner
line bringing gas from the west field.
1t had been heretofore decided to
take up the pipe which was not
needed in the east field and place It
where it would be convenient for
sale. According to the new plan
approximately 5000 feet of this pipe
will be put to profitable use by the
city itself. In exchanging the large
for the small pipe which is now
part of the Banner line the city will
secure line which will be able to
receive a much larger volume of
gas at the favorable a cent rate
than is possible now with a two
inch pipe at the city end of the line.
So soon as James Truitt shall pay
to the city clerk the cost of publi-
cation of the ordinance he will have
the authority of the council to lay
pipe line within the city limits for
the purpose of securing gas for his
greenhouse according to an ordi-
nance and motion passed by the
council at its Monday night meeting.
The ordinance grants to Truitt
right of way to lay gas pipe from
the south line of Walnut avenue to
the north line of the city in the alley
between Garfield and Steuben ave-
nues. He is to keep the line in
repair and 10 use IL only for scout
ing gas for his greenhouses,
Upon the first reading of the
ordinance a motion by Bideau and
Stewart was carried that an emer-
gency be declared and the ordi-
nance be advanced to third reading
and final passage Chairman Free
man of the gas committee explained
that the introduction of the ordi-
nance was to allow Truitt to pur-
chase the gas needed by him direct
from Stueck. That this act was
along the line of the policy of the
council to encourage large con-
sumers to depend on outside
sources instead of the city itself for
gas was emphasized by Johnson in
the discussion of the immediate
passage VI tbs ordinance. Council
man Nation opposed the ordinance
IN a measure as he thought it
might be advisable for the city to
cut its price of gas when selling to
large consumers. 81 would pre-
Ter a concession of a few cents per
thousand feet to consumers who
use from $50 to $Ioo worth of gas
per mouth, and believe the city
could make a little profit on such
,ales," was his comment. John
son maintained that the council
vas on record against any conces-
;iops beloN the IS cent rate, and
;aid that if any were to be made
le wanted them made to all domes
ic consumers.

WILD PASSENGER TRAIN
Throttle Breaks in Boiler, but
Air Brakes Prove Effective.

eascd UP on the throttle preparatory 10
stopping at the Paterson main station to-
dav. the engine. with its six heavily laden
passengcr cars. rushed OF with increasing
srecd Hardy closed the throttle. but there
was no response. with his engine run
ming away with tho train, there was but
one chance-the emergency brakes. Hardy
damned on the air and the train was
brought 10 a stop one hundred feet beyond
the station.
For an instant the engines brakes Sripped
the wheels Then, with a roar, the engine
shook and heaved and the wheels revolved
as though the locomotive was travelling
ninety-miles an hour. Showers of sparks
flew into the air, but the train did not
move.
The engine driver leaned out OF his cab
and shouted a warning to the depot mas
,er Tho emergency steam valves were
thrown wide open, and to prevent the
fire from generating steam faster IMAM IL
could be blown off, several pals OF water
were thrown on it. Soon the engine spent
its mower. and the wheels slowed down. IN
vestigation showed that the throttle had
broken inside the boiler.
II WAS fortunate that the air brakes he'd
for the engine would have Jared the throt-
tle wide open and the train would never
have made tho sharp curves within the
CITY limits without disaster.

TOMKINS SUBMITS NEW PLAN
Wants City Built Elevated Road
for Joint Railroad Use.

Dock commissioner Tomkins yesterday
submitted to the Board OF Estimate an
alternative plan 10 that proposed by the
New York Central Railroad FOR the ehm-
nation of the railroads tracks from the
surface on the West Side of the city. HIS
principal objection to the railroads plan
was that it practically gave that company
a monopoly of the transportation facilities
and a part of the water front. HIS sug-
ges,ion was that the city build an eight
track elevated road, which might be used
Jointly by the Central and other railroads
that desired such facilities.
Commissioner Tomkins asked that MS
plan be not submitted to the same COM
mittee OF the board which had already re-
ported a plan of its own, on the ground
that they were prejudced. lie was told,
however, that to have a new committee
take up the question would mean only end
less delay. At the suggestion OF Con-
troler Prendergast. however, Nelson p.
Lewis chief engineer of the board. was
added TO the committee.
