DEFECT IN DRAWBRIDGE
TIES UP TUBE" SERVICE

just at the height of abe rush hour
on the Hudson, tube lines between
New York and Newark last night
thousands of commuters from this
city found the train service tied up by
the breaking of draw-pin on the
short line bridge over the Passaic
river.
The failure of the drawbridge to
work blocked the electric trains going
into and out of Newark, and recourse
was had to the steam trains of the
pennsylvania railroad. Patrons on
the through, trains of the Pennsyl-
vania were greatly inconvenienced by
the rush of Newark bound commut-
ers, who were transferred from the
tube trains into the coaches and even
Pullman cars.
The interruption to service began at
o;5o. when 1t was found that the
draw of the bridge, which was opened
to allow a vessel to pass, would not
close. 1t was not until 7:45 that
everything was again in working or
der. Meanwhile passengers leaving
The city were obliged to walk>'to the
Market street station for trains.
