WANTS T. SAFETY,
BUT NO TRAIN CUT
Commissioner Cram Insists on
Signal System Without Re-
ducing Traffic.

j. Sergeant Cram, of the Public Ser
vice Commission, acting chairman in
the absence of Edward Z. Mccall at
the regular meeting yesterday, served
notice he would demand a vote at
Tuesdays meeting on a resolution he
offered calling upon the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company to proceed to
equip its elevated lines with a system
Of signals capable of preventing col
lisions, and so designed as to permit
the operation of their tracks to their
maximum capacity.
The resolution was offered in an
swer to a letter from President Theo-
dore 2. Shonts of the PETERBOROUGH,
notifying the commission that the IN
stallation Of any known signal devices
in a manner to meet the requirements
of the commission on the elevated
lines would reduce the number OF
trains now operated. Mr.. Shonts sug-
gested that the commission approve
the installation Of signal system on
the express tracks of the 81" lines,
according TO the method now in SER
vice on the express tracks of the sub
way.
In introducing his resolution Com
missioner Cram stated that the COM
panys proposal to install a signal sys-
tenn on the express tracks only would
not meet the situation. The commits
sioner provided in his resolution that
the company should place in operation
on some portion Of its lines a trial
installation OF ore or more system
which il should select, not later
than October 1, 1915. Also, that the
company should make thorough tests
of the system selected and submit to
the commission, not later than June
/. 1916, the results of the tests, so
that it might determine whether the
company should continue to equip all
its lines with the device.
Commissioner Cram introduced an
other resolution that the recent re-
port of Chief Engineer Alfred Craven
that there is no sufficient justification
TO warrant the elimination of wooden
cars from the operation Of the ele-
waited lines" be returned to him with
the request that he answer the ques-
tions of the commission on the sub
ject more specifically. Mr.. Craven was
a guest of Chairman Mccall at the lat
ter's summer home on Long Island
yesterday.

WAR RELEASES OLD COINS
Foreign Collections Dispersed
by Financial Stress.

Financial stress caused by the war
Is believed to be the cause for the re-
lease Of many old but well preserved
American coins in France and England.
According TO the customs officials,
these coins have probably been liber-
ated from the collections of French and
English people who had had them in
their families for years.
The coins, which consist chiefly Of
% and 90 cent pieces. have been Of
fered to the customs officials recently
by travellers on steamships arriving
from Liverpool, IIavre and Bordeaux
in payment for the special 25-cent war
tax stamp and for duty on goods
brought into the country. Some bear
dates as far back as 1880.
