CROSSINGS TO
GO ON ISLAND
Public Service Commission
Observe Traffic.

With the object in view of elimi-
mating every grade crossing on
Staten Island, and in the entire
greater city, the Public Service Com
mission is sending inspectors to
take an observation of each and
every crossing where there is consid-
cradle travel during the day and
night. Yesterday an inspector in the
employ of the Public Service Com
mission was at the Amboy avenue
crossing of the Staten Island Railway
Company at Pleasant Plains keeping
tally Of every automobile, wagon, BIZ
cycle, motorcycle and foot pedestrian
that passed over the crossing during
the day from 7 O'Clock in the morn
ing until 6 o'tNock last night. At E
o'clock he was relieved by another
Inspector who remained at the cross
ing until II o'clock last night.
A report will be made to the COM
mission, who will take the matter up.
1t is the object of that body to either
make the railroad company do away
with the grade or to force them to
erect gates at the crossings where
they are dangerous. Some time ago
the Public Service Commission or
dered Crooks crossing at Great Kills
and the Amboy venue crossing at
HuguenOt eliminated. Plans have
been prepared and the work on these
two crossings is expected to begin
shortly. At the latter place the
roadway will be lowered and at the
former 1t will be raised so that
trains will have TO pass owe a
~trestle.
At present both these crossings
have fagmen stationed day and
night. At the Pleasant Plains ross
ing the fagman is only on duty from
7:30 in the morning until s O'Clock
at night. After that until morning
It is left u~nguarded. Hundreds of
~RutomobiIists passing over the island
are compelled to use all of these
crossings.

an hour in the afternoon, and all
the members of the order were served

ALLEGED DYNAMITERS
ARRESTED


John Mcnamara, James Mcnamara
and Ortie McManigal were arrested
recently in indianapolis, charged with
blowing up the Los Angeles Times last
fall and many other shocking crimes
in dynamiting. They are officers in
the National Union of Structural Steel
Workers, and the labor unions Of
America are raising monster fund
to be used in their defense.
When arrested, the men were taken
Immediately to Los Angeles, arriving
there Wednesday. Requisition papers
we're issued before the arrests were
made, and the men were given no
opportunity to exercise their constitu-
tional rights in the courts there. They
are entitled to speedy trial in the
courts where the crimes were COM
and this they will probably
have. Clarence Darrow, the attorney
who defended Moyor, Haywood and
Pettibone at Boise, is in Los Angeles
to defend them, and is said to have
been there some time in anticipation
of just such an event.
Three attorneys charged with kid
mapping the alleged dynamiters are
under arrest for the kidnapping,
charged with overstepping their rights
in rushing the men out of the state
in which they were arrested, without
giving them chance to secure legal
advice and protect themselves against
being taken away.

The Excursion
A train of nine coaches passed over
the road from Pocatello to Idaho
Falls and it was we'll loaded, besides
the regular train had carried three
or four extra coaches. The special
train left Blackfoot about noon. and
several automobiles that had already
left but got only few miles the start
were in Idaho Falls first. The train
passed some of them between Wapel-
10. and Firth. They re-passed the
train at Firth and were again passed
on tho run to Shelley. They passed
again at Shelley and staid ahead. The
train had to wait a short time there
for the southbound train to pass.
The Flying
The flying machine was to go up at
1880, and it went few minutes
before that time. Some men led it
close to the southwest margin of the
fair grounds and turned it around
and started the engine. Several men
held it until the: man in the seat
gave the signal TO let go. No an
was made and there was
no fuss nor applause. The machine
skinned along for several hundred
feet until the wheels pressed ditch
bank or dyke and 1t began to rise.
1t went two or three miles in north
easterly direction before turning
back, and attained of height of only
about 1875 feet, the aviator said. After
circling few times near the ground
he alighted in distant field and it
required about thirty minutes to get
the machine in working order again.
One wire brace was loose and dang
ling and something was wrong with
the engine so that 1t did not exert
full power.
In the second flight II came back
over the grounds but could not at
tain a sufficient height to clear the
trees, and brushed the tops as 1t
passed over a row along the edge
Of the grounds. Several flights were
made, rising from a field of plowed
ground east of the race track.
There were several thousand peo-
pie on the grounds, many teams and
automobiles, and some stock in ad-
jacent pastures. A COW in field
made a great fuss every time the
came her way. but horses
paid very little attention to 1t. Peo-
pie in the grand stand could not see
much of the fights, and those who
had correctly calculated where the
show was going to be, climbed on
