Elmira Has Remembered
Him in Will.

Lieutenant Dennis Lyons, of the
Charles street station. was told last
night that n woman whom he had be-
friended fifteen years ago had left $40
600 to him. Her pocket was picked and
she had no money TO reach her destina-
ton. Elmira. Lyons, who was then a
patrolman gave the woman, who was
accompanied by her daughter. girl of
six or seven years. the Carfare to I'll
mira and never heard anything more
about her until shortly after 10 o'clock
last night when a man walked into the
station house and asked:
Are YOU Lieutenant Dennis Lyons"
Yes said Lyons.
We'll. I've a nice Christmas present
for YOU" the stranger told him. I'm
here 10 tell ycu that $4,000 has been
left to You"
Lyons could not believe his ears, and
then thinking the man was either play
ing a Joke or crazy, said:
Now. look here. I'm busy with my
rolcall and don't want any funny bust
ness
The stranger laughed.
It's the truth" he said, and then as
Lyons reached out his hand to ring
bell to summon patrolmap the stranger
pulled out Of his pocket a legal looking
document.
Read this" he commanded Lyons.

bulging out of his head
What's this?" he asked. pointing at
some figures. Is this $4,000 or 100000"
It's $4,000" the stranger assured
him.
The document explained the reasons
for the bequest. Lyons then recalled
that the woman had asked his name and
had taken his number. He was then on
post near the ferry at West 23d street
The stranger left the station after a
little more conversation in low tones, and
Lyons was left bewildered.
Then a reporter, who happened to be
in the station, asked Lyons for the name
Of the woman. lie said the visitor, who
was a lawyer, had told him not to talk
about the bequest.
Are you going to retire?" he was then
asked.
Gee. don't know. This thing has
come so suddenly. Twenty thousand
dollars! I guess I'll take a couple of
weeks vacation to get over it,
Before the stranger left the station

Attorney General Carmody Be-
gins Action at Request of Pub
lie Service Commission.
INTEREST $1,000 A DAY
Interborough, However, Refuses
to Make Offer Acceptable to
City-Consents for Exten-
sion Are Rejected.

At the request of the Public Service
Commission Attorney General Carmody
has begun an action for the custer OF
the trustees of the Steinway tunnel and
the establishment Of the rights of the
city to the property. If the city estab-
fishes it's right TO the property 1t can
he leased TO the highest bidder in any
way that will prove Of the greatest ad-
vantage to the general scheme of trans
portation between the various boroughs.
The tunnel was built by August Bel
mont & Co.. but ii was not completed
within the time stated in the franchise,
and the city brought suit against the
New York & Long Island Railroad Com
ranv. which held the franchise, to es-
tabIish the contention that it had been
invalidated. This was fought through
tho courts for number Of years, and
finally it was decided that the city had
no right to bring the suit, as the state
had granted the franchise:
AS the city would never give any
franchise for the operation Of the tun-
mel. it has been lying idle for number
of wears. the owners being saddled with
q daily interest charge Of some Sl,OoO on
the investment.
Some time ago trustees who represent
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
uany were appointed to hold the prop
ertv. II is against these men-August
Relmont. Andrew Freedman, II. Van
Rensselaer Walter Luttgen, Walter q.
Oal<man. William Barclay Parsons, John
Pierce and George w. Young-that the
suit for custer has been brought.
After the Interborough company had
tried 10 sell the tunnel to the city at
what was considered an exorbitant fig
ure II placed the operation of the line
IN with its last subway offer. The tun-
mol which runs under the East River
from I'D street TO Astoria, would serve
the Borough of Queens. 1t has been
6cured that the tunnel could be run
over 70 the Grand Central terminal,
,,.bero passengers could transfer to the
present subway.
Tho Public Service Commission agreed
70 expend $1,5OO,O00 in connecting the
tunnel with the present subway II the
Irterborough would operate 1t in con-
rection with improvements of their
,resent service. But since the city re-
fused the subway proposition of the In
terborough that company has refused TO
take up the separate consideration Of
n,acing the Steinway tunnel In opera
t,on II was then that the Attorney
General was requested to begin an
custer suit.
ON the recommendation of its counsel
the Public Service Commission yester-
dav rejected the consents of the New
York Central Railroad and the New
York State Realty and Terminal Com
many for the extension of the Steinway
tunnel under the railroads property TO
42d street.
The commission says of the consents
Granted by the New York Central and
the other parties that they were not
only ambiguous, but might prevent the
construction Of proper entrances for the
railroad i'm the future without the con-
sent of the Central"
