"NEAR-S|DE" RULE
S|DETRACkED, BUT
ONLY FOR A WEEK
Gillen Will Bring 1t
Before Board Of
Works Again.
MUCH CRITICISM is
HEARD OF NEW ORDER
More Accidents Than Ever, 1t Is
Said, Have Happened
Since January 1.

Side tracked yesterday at the re-
quest of the Public Service, the
amendment to the present traffic
regulations compelling trolley cars to
stop on the near side of intersecting
streets will be again taken up by
the Board of Works within a week.
II is the intention to hold public
hearing on the question so that all
persons interested may have an OPP
portunity of voicing their views as
to whether the present regulations
should be left unchanged or revert
back to the old order.
The amendment to the present
regulations was presented to the
board by Commissioner Charles p.
Gillen yesterday afternoons. At that
time 1t was thought advisable by the
other commissioners to secure the
views of the citizens on the new
proposition and action was deferred
until last night when it was intended
to bring the question up with the
terminal proposition
When approached on the subject,
however, President Thomas N. Nc
Garter, of the Public Service, de-
not ready 10 take it up at this time,
and at his request the matter was
laid over.
Commissioner Gillen's plan is to
return to the old scheme of having
the cars stop on the far side of the
street, with the rear platform on or
opposite the crosswalk.
mo matter what comes or goes"
declared the commissioner today, Il
intend to push this matter to finish.
This new order, to my mind, is en-
tirely unsatisfactory, and I can't see
who is deriving any benefit-surely
not the citizens, who during rainy
or stony weather are forced to plow
through mud and slush, sometimes
ankle deep. in boarding or getting
off trolley cars. We must bear in
mind, however, that this new rule
was not put into effect at the rec
quest of the Public Service, as l
understand t, but at the solicitation
of the Police Board: and we must,
therefore, move slowly with so radi-
cal change.
Il have looked into the question
thoroughly from every angle and l
cannot see why the cars should stop
on the near-side 1t has been said
that 1t would eliminate the possible
ity of accidents at intersecting
streets. but | have been informed that
there are now more accidents than
before. The drivers themselves are
against the present regulations be-
cause they don't know whether or
not car is going to stop before
crossing a street. Many of, them
have taken chances on a car stopping
and an accident has resulted.
There have been so many COM
plants from every source that
change, to my mind, is warranted
Thus far we have had very mild
and dry winter, but one can imagine
the difficulty of boarding and getting
off cars with snow piled several feet
high in the street should we have
real snow-storm.
while I don't intend to push any
body, | will certainly insist that
some action be taken within the next
week"

heroes who died on board the battle
ship Maine when that ship was blown
up in Havana Harbor at $40 o'clock on

ment, First Regimental Cavalry and

of the greatest naval and military
parades New York has seen in years.
Starting from Fortieth street and Fifth
avenue the troops proceeded TO Fifty
ninth street. thence down Fifty-ninth
TO Broadway, up Broadway to Sixty
sixth street and thence east into Cen
trail Park. Here the troops and sail
ors countermarched so that the heads
of the various divisions simultaneously
appeared surrounding the monument.

of the Maine memorial. To the left in
the rear of the monument had been
planted one scarlet oak for each ship
which was under the command of Ad-
miral Dewey at the battle of Manila
Bay.
Just opposite these trees was a
grove of red oaks, one for each of the
ships under the command of Admirals
Schley and Sampson at Santiago Har-
bor AS background for the monu-
ment and the two "oak tree fleets" a
grove of pin oaks had been planted to

with passengers and mails, were go

Before dusk all the passengers with
light luggage had been safely brought
ashore at this harbor. When the last
passenger was taken off there were Il
feet of water in the forehold of the
vessel.
The admiralty station received the
first message of distress. This is trans

The company's Queenstown agents
soon afterward sent three of the Clyde
