flatcars with electric pumps capable of
discharging 75O gallons a minute and
sucked the rain water out Of the tube.
The blockade at the Brooklyn term

the system. One hundred thousand
persons use this station between 7 and
8 o'clock in the morning. One man

Fifty fire chiefs here attending their
international convention were in an
express train stalled at the Columbus
circle station of the subway early to-
day. They all helped the subway
guards to escort passengers over the
