chinery. The whole fourth level Of the sta.
tion will be devoted to the baggage subways,
through which the trunks and bags of pas
sengers can be taken to the transfer station
or direct to the outward-bound trains. The
passenger need have no thought of his in
cumbrances once he has got his ticket or
surrendered his check. When he buys his
ticket, he passes on to the next counter.
from which check and tickets are sent by
pneumatic tube to the baggage room and re-
turned after checking by the same means.
This new system has been in operation in
the temporary Lexington Avenue terminal
for some time.
The New York Central designates many
of its trains by specific names as we'll as by
numbers. This, also, is to help the passen.
gers. A train which is not named, but only
numbered, seldom sticks in the minds Of
travellers. The Twentieth Century Limited,
the New Yorker, the Empire State Express.
and dozen other famous trains are ex-
amples Of this. Consequently, it has been
determined to carry out the policy Of nam
Ing trains to still greater extent than is
now In force-all with the purpose of sim
plifying the travellers task Of getting from
place to place, in and out Of stations, at as
ASSAS SAOuOlc dS pOSslUle 10 himself.
The railroads experts have spent years in
studying the various questions mingled to-
gether In the construction Of this huge gate
way for the millions. The problem that they
have been solving has been to build a ter.
mtnal SO that any man who has never been
In New York before, never been outside of
his little home town in the Middle West,
perhaps. will ind no difficulty, will feel no
sense Of insecurity or bewilderment, in get
ting from his incoming train to his ultimate
destination. no matter where that may be.
All he will have to do will be to follow the
crowd and ask question II he is in doubt.
SOME STATISTICS.
To those who like figures, the following
statistics will be Of interest. The total area
Of the old terminal was % acres; that of
the new will be 70 acres, or an increase Of
about $50 per cent. The old terminal had
capacity Of 866 cars; the capacity of the
new will be 1,140 cars.
The station building proper will be 600
feet on the. street level. 300 feet wide and
los feet high. Below the street level it will
be 745 feet long. 4SO feet wide and As feet
deep. $4,000 tons of steel will be used In
the construction Of the new terminal.
The main concourse will be entered from
42d Street. It will be 120 feet wide and
100 feet high. The door level will be about

connects only with outbound trains Tho
arriving concourse will be on the easterly.
side of the building. On the suburban track
level will be another concourse. Each will
have independent exits and entrances
LOOKING FORWARD.
1t is probable that several magnificent
hotels will form part Of the group Of monu.
mental buildings that will rise above the
tracks adjacent to the terminal. II the
traveller decides to stop at any of these or
at some other near by, he will be able to pass
directly thither without going into the street
at all or climbing any steps, His baggage
will be whfsked underground and will reach
his room almost as quickly as he will.
1t Is impossible to say how long this
huge terminal Is likely to meet the sltua-,
tion. The old Grand Central, which was,
thought sufficient for hundred years, was
outgrown in less than 40. To-day New
York has population Of nearly 5O00,0
Young men of to-day may live to see 1t q
city Of 15,0O0,O00. The rest Of the country
Is growing apace. All this means that year
by year more and more millions of people
Will pass through this gigantic gateway
that we have been building. No man can
say when the day will come that they will
begin to crowd and jostle each other in
passing and vet bigger gateway will have
to be built.
THE THEATER OF GREAT EVENTS.
The Grand Central Of the future will be
like its predecessor what it's name implies:
A great center Of the city's life. 1t will be
the theater Of historical events. The old
structure which Is now no more is rich In
its memories. The old Grand Central has
welcomed every President Of the United
States since 1t was built. Hardly a foreign
dignitary has visited this country who has
not passed through its portals. 1t has been
the center Of distribution Of every great
celebration that the City Of New York has
known for two score years.
There IL no place in the world where the |
human currents meet and cross and minsls /
In such volume as at the Grand Central.
1t is one Of the great crossroads Of the
world. 1t is safe to say that IL man should
wait there long enough he would BE- pretty
sure to meet everyone he knew and to sss
every famous parsonage In North America {
1t Is like the gateway Of one Of the ancient
walled cittes-everyone. from one end OF The

WHAT DOES IT
CARE FOR PATRONS?
Lake Shore Suburban Trains
Are Now Without Drink
ing Water.

The Lake Shore Railroad company
mas discovered that by removing the
water tank in its passenger car in the
SUBURBAN trains it can gain additional
seating capacity and increase its reve-
nue. at the expense of public incon-
venience.
This policy sof ignoring the public
manifested itself with emphasis last
Friday when a Hammond woman going,
to Chicago tainted on the train 1t
was impossible for her friends to has
ten her recovery by giving her a re-
viving drop of water. The new law in
Illinois prohibits the use of public
drinking cups, and inasmuch as the
suburban trains are travelling In Illi-
nois more than half their time. 1T is not
considered worth while to keep a sup
ply of water on the suburban trains.
other trains running out of Chicago are
also complying with the law relative
the public drinking cups. but they car
ry a supply Of water and have alumj-
mum or rarafined paper cups for sale
at five Or one cent, respectively. The
Lake Shore suburban mana cement
summarily ordered the water tank re-
moved. and is doing nothing in that
direction to accommodate its patrons.

Chicago this afternoon at O'clock
He has announced that he will strike
directly across the lake from Chicago
and Will not strike land again until he
reaches some point in Porter county.
He will go directly to Elkhart and
expects to be there by tonight He was
given $500 for landing on the Chicago
aarodrome and was paid another $5o(
for not resuming his flight until s:3C
this afternoon.
This will give the hundreds of thou
sands of people in Chicago a chance
to witness his departure. 1t is possi-
bic that he may be seen from the lake

DANGER
Disastrous Wreck on Monon
Is Narrowly Averted Just
Before Chicago Flyer Mad
" Crashes Into Load of
Stone.

Hammond passengers on the Monon' .
hyer due here yesterday afternoon are
consratulating themselves over their
miraculous escape from death and in
jury which occurred near Bloomington
at midnight.
A disastrous wreck on the Monon
railroad was narrowly averted when
Raymond Morris, 10 years old, tagged
the midnight Chicago express near the
old fair grounds north of Blooming
ton and stopped the train just before
1t would have crashed into a car load
ed with stone. The car had been oc-
cupying place on the Hunter quarry
switch. but had got away and was on
the main track as Morris came up the
track en- route home from the city The
flyer was due,<and to prevent the wreck
the young man seized one of the switch
target lights and set it on the car
Rushing to the other end of the switch
he jerked the other lantern from the
target and signaled the engineer of
the oncoming express just in time The
train was coming down grade and was
running at a high rate OF speed to make
up lost time, but was stopped few
yards north of the Car. None of the
passengers in the sleepers was aware
of the close call of the train.

Hessler was called up on the tele-
phone this morning. After refusing to
be interviewed Hessler stated that he
Is In favor of calling the special cleo
tioI within a reasonable time. When
pressed to know what he meant by a
reasonable time he said some time this
week.
He said. however, that he could do
nothing until John Murray. the chair
man of the committee on ordinances,
announced that he is ready to report
the ordinance out of the. committee.
Murray was then called up on the
telephone and said: Il am waiting on
Hessler- When he calls meeting for
the purpose of setting the date / will

ready to go ahead.
And SO both Murray and Hessler are
lodging the issue. They seem to be
under the impression that the general
public will let them dodge the issue in
stead of assuming the responsibility
In the meantime the, committee is
waiting until tonight to decide what
shall be done. Murray said that he
intended to consult a lawyer and the
committee is also consulting a LAWYER
so 1t Is expected that the lines will be
pretty sharply drawn by tomorrow and

J.F. kUHLMAN HAD
NOTICED BRIDGE SAG
Had Made Repairs Before
Dredging Co. Arrived
on Scene.

John f. Kuhlman, street commits
sioner, says that he noticed that the
Columbia avenue bridge has sagged,
but this, in his opinion, is not due to
any excavations which the Great
Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. is making
in the river bed near the bridge to lay
the 36-inch water pipe. In fact the
needed repairs had been made by Mr..
kuhlman before the dredging company
arrived on the scene. Mr., Kuhlman
says that the center pier had appar-
emily settled so as to lean a tlSie to
the north. While in the center pier
itself the difference is not noticeable,
the north span of the bridge was low
cred causing difference of about four
incres. To remedy the trouble Mr.
Kuhlman has chiseled off four inches
of the abutment on which the end of
the bridge rests.
