Frightening the Brooklyn Commuters Lot

rbis morning trains will be running from Canarsie
and CYPRESS Hills through to the endorsement OF
the new Municipal Building by way OF the centre
street loop. After many years of tedious waiting
the Williamsburg Bridge will be put to use on a
large scale as an alternative through route from
considerable part of Brooklyn, relieving by that
much the congestion in traffic over the old BROOK
lyn Bridge. 1t is striking commentary on the
lack Of concentration and foresight with which the
problem Of communication between Manhattan ana
BROOKLYN was handled under earlier administrations
that the big Williamsburg Bridge had 70 be used
for more than decade for casual and local traff1c
only and that the Manhattan Bridge has stood
practically idle ever since its completion
Happily, the days of isolated improvements ana
haphazard transit planning are over The GENRE
stree loon was intended originally to unite the New
York ends of the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Will
iamsburg bridges and TO furnish facilities Tor con-
ttnuous train operation In both directions. 1nat
was rational remedy for the situation as IL then
stood and would of itself have diminished by more
than half the intolerable rush hour crush IN the
dead end Brooklyn Bridge terminal But later ana
larger plans for marlborough communication nave
civen the loon still more important uses and 1t VIII
serve as link connecting all three bridges and the
lines operating over them with the Fourth avenue
subway in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sits subway system in Manhattan
The opening of the loop this morning is therefore
the first partial realization of the dream Of making
the two boroughs really one so far as interlinking
TRANSPORTATION systems concerned. From now
On the union will be closer and closer and inter
changing facilities will become so complete that the
next generation will listen with probably Ill con-
cealed skeptcism to the tales of cattle train hard
sbips told by the survivors of the oldfashloned
Brooklyn Bridge crush.

Governor Sulzer Must Explain the
Schiff and Elkus Checks.

Attorney General Carmody is almost certainly
rigbt in holding that the Legislature is still in ses-
sion 1t is fantastic to say that it could not take
the recess which it is taking. And it is equally sure
that he is right in declaring 1t impossible to go oack
of the returns and determine whether there was
quorum present when the resolution was pasSeu
taking a recess till August IL. The courts woulu
certainly hold the journals of the two houses 10
furnish sufficient evidence that quorum was pres
emit
Ipon the question whether the Frawley commit
tee has authority to inquire into the Governor
campaign expenditures there is room for diner
once of Opinion But there is plausbility III MI
Csrmody's argument that the Governor hlmseli
opened the way for the resolution passed at the
special session comforting this authority on the COM
mittee in his recommendation that the Legislature
throw about the primaries all the safeguards whch
the law places about regular elections and that II
limit expepditures at primaries. This Mr.. Carmody
reasons permits the Legislature, which Is resrlceu
i'm extraordinary session TO the consideration oI
questions referred to it by the Governor TO make
an INQUIRY as to how the present election law Is
working. If Governor Sulzer chooses to hght the
INQUIRY into his campaign expenditures 1t may De
that the courts will interpret more strictly than the
Attorney General does the limitation upon the Leg
isatlre's authority in extraordinary sessions.
But Governor Suzer will be badly advised 10
fight To refuse to explain, as his clerk did about
the Schiff and Elkus checks, will not prevent the
Tammany nquistors from bringing out more dam
aging facts If they have them 1t will only prevent
Governor Sulzer from presenting his side OF the
story officially to the public.
If the Governor declines to explain, the people
will conclude that he cannot explain. The people
will form the worst possible impression from MS
unwillingness to throw the fullest light upon MS
campaign fund transactions. Mr.. Sulzer cannot at
ford to dispute the Frawley committees authority
Whether it is properly authorized or not his honor
has been impugned and he should seek an lmme-
date opportunity to explain the obvious discre-
pancy in his accounts

GOES TO The JURY.
Verdict Is Expected Soon in the
Camineti Case.

San Francisco, Sept. 5.-F- Drew
r.aminetti may know tonight whether
he has been adjudged innocent or
guilty of the charge of having violated
the Mann white slave traffic act in tax
ing Lola Norris to Reno, New.
Attorney Robert Devlin, who was
taking when court adjourned yester-
day- concluded the argument for the
defense this morning. He was fol-
lowed by Special Prosecutor Matt L.
sullivan. who in summing up for the
government excoriated the defendant
and called on the jury to mete out to
him the same verdict received by his
companion, Diggs.
1.-THE main and only element in this
case" Devlin had declared, lis the pur-
pose of the defendants trip to Reno.
We claim the prosecution has not
proyed it other than by inference or
nv giving you something to guess at"
To this Sullivan replied that what
aver the motive that impelled Can't
netti to make the journey, it had been
proven beyond a doubt that he had
been instrumental in persuading Lola
Norris to join in the escapade and had
ruined her during the stay at Reno.
The question to be decided was not
one of theory but of fact Judge Van
Fleets charge to the jury was COM
paratively brief and when the twelve
men retired for elaboration it was be-
Iieved that a verdict would not be long
delayed.

Buying was only moderate, however, and

Eagerness of cash buying led afterward
