FIGHT CAUSES A COLLISION
HldgeWood Train Bumped JUST
as Passengers Rush for Doors
BROKEN GLASS CUTS MANY
Womens Screams Bring Follce
to Adams Street Station, put
Fighters Get Away.

While fight among some passehse'"
was in progress on a Ridgewood train OF
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company a'
the Adams street station early yesterua'
morning the train was struck by an OH
coming train OF the Culver line, the mo'o'
man OF the Culver train apparently ho'
noticing that the cars ahead had come 10
stop. Many Of the passengers were cut w
broken glass and others were thrown Vlo-
lently TO the floor by the shock OF inc
crash. The line was blocked for seVeIai
minutes while a wrecking crew cleared tue
tracks. Nobody was seriously injured.
The Ridgewood train had just rounded
the sharp curve from Myrtle avenue into
Adams street when group CT men, sew
eral OF them drunk. amused themselves Oy
throwing missiles at the women passeH'
gers. One woman was hit In the eye JUST
as the train was coming around the curve
Her escort and several OF his friends theN
pitched into the gang.
In a roment the interior OF the car was
tho scene Of a pitched battle. While the
fighting was at its height the Culver train
came around the curve. the forward car
striking the rear car Of the train ahead
with great force. The noise Of breaking
glass and the sudden lurching OF the car
added to the excitement, and the women
passengers began TO scream.
The RidgeWood train had drawn UP TO
the platform at the Adams street station
and there was a wild rush for the gates.
Men tried TO drag their women compan ons
from the train. while the hshtIns group
blocked the way. Finally the police OF the
Adams street station. which is directly be-
meath the train station. came rushing ur
the stairs.
Before the police could reach the plat
form, however. they we're swept downward
by & jam of passengers seeking safety IN
the streets II was only after stout re-
sistance that the police reached the cars
Here, again, they were blocked by the
struggling passengers or the platforms and
were not able to reach the actual scene o!
conflict until the men who caused all the
trouble had made their escape.
Frank Jensen, motorman OF the CulVe'
train. said that he did not know that the
Ridgewood train had been delayed at the
station because Of the hght When ne o!o
round the curve, il was TOO late 70 preVeh'
the crash, he said.

The Ratahdin test on Saturday. II was

the reports OF the Russo.Japanese war

range usually began at 1900 YARDS and
gradually was reduced 10 about 5000 yards
or less as the battle progressed.

The test has demonstrated" said Mr.
isham. that eight or ten inch arnlor
would not be thick enough for the turre,s
which have no additional protection, aside
from the main plate. in an engagement, at
5000 yards range, but as future battles
doubtless will be beyond this range. IL re-
