night tied up the system from Atlantic
Avenue, Brooklyn, to The Bronx Traffic
was suspended not more than thirteen
minutes, but II came at such a critical
time that, two hours later every eX-
press train was an hour late, and local
trains were at least 4 half hour late.
The exact cause Of the trouble was
not known last night One Of the
lnterborough officials, who happened to
be coming into the Brooklyn Bridge
subway station az the time the trouble
started. said that II would be impoS-
sible to tell the cause OF the tie-up
until the trains that were passing
through the Brooklyn Bridge station
had been examined in the morning.
Frank Hedley, general manager oil
the marlborough, said last night at MS
home at 90 Faushaw Avenue, lonkers,
that the cause of the tie-up was a
short circuit caused by the storm. las
yet we have not perfected anything,
he said, "to prevent snow from blowing
under the trucks when the trains come
out from under the subway. Another
great difficulty is the snow accumulat-
ing on the top of the trains. Nhen
they reenter the tunnel the snow melts
on the third rails. making conditions
favorable to a short circuit
Whatever the cause, a short circuit
started from track 10. 3, about the
middle of the Brooklyn Bridge station.
The current jumped from the thlrd
rail through the wet ties to track No.
2 and thence to the telephone cables
strung under the downtown island
platform. Immediately the lights went
out, and the light made by the splut-
tering short circuit was dimmed oy
clouds of smoke that rolled from the
wes ties and burning cables.

the power on every track. A smaH
panic followed at the Brooklyn Bridge
station. where there was WHO
scramble TO escape from the smoke ana
flames. A half dozen crowded trains
were stalled in the tunnels under the
East River.
After a hurried investigation 1t was
decided that the cause OF the trouole
was a fuse blowout in Brooklyn eN-
press. and all the other currents were
turned on. Then the short circuit
started all over again. Worhmen win
lanterns were set hunting through the
smoke. and this time the exact loca-
ton of the trouble was found.
Traffic had been resumed again on
all lines for about half an hour, when
again the elusive current broke forth,

tracks. and the uptown express trains

flames spread 10 several apartments,

of a woman and two small children.
Ice and snow on the FIRE escapes made

tenants took TO the stairs. In the con-

ran TO the top floor, where she was
burned to death.

were rushing back and forth, and
smoke was rolling heavily from the
shaft, half binding every one. Some

her mothers. Believing the child had
gone downstairs in advance of her, Mrs.
Diamondstein went to the street and
was still inquiring among Lillian's
playmates when a fireman came out
with the child'5 body.
The Liebowitz boy broke away from
his mother when rush of smoke met
