STEEL CARS IN SUBWAY
mot YET" SAYS HEDLEY
Manager Declares That p. S. c. Letter Wasn't For
NAL Order Also That Replacement Would Cost
$4500000 and Take Eighteen Months

IL would take. he said. eighteen
months to fill an order for steel cars
TO replace the wooden ones in the sub
way, and would mean an outlay for
the company of S4,5OOOOO. This, he
said, was rough guess.
when you consider" Mr. Hedley
continued, that the subway has been
running for ten years and has carried
2,000. 500, 600 passengers. and that one
passenger has been killed in that time
as the result of an accident TO its cars
the record made is unequalled by any
other rapid transit in the world.
THE fact Of the matter is that the
people of New York City do not APP
preciatc their rapid transit system, al
though it is the only system anywhere
worthy of being called by that name y
Mr.. Hedley told of the telephone
system M use in the subway. at sta
tions and at intervals along the system,
and of the many devices for safeguard
ing the cars. He said If there was any
practical appliance that would safe
guard the operation of the cars better
than the present devices the company
would be willing to pay any amount of
money TO obtain it.
MIR GIedlcy said that last night was
the first he has spent at home with his
family since the accident. lie never
reads the newspapers on transit mat

articles would only befog y mind

80 AERIAL BOMBS
FALL ON DUNKIRK
Sunday Raid on England
Abandoned Cling to
Bad Weather.

Paris. Jan. 10.-A Havas Agency
dispatch from Dunkirk says that a
dozen German aeroplanes bombarded
Dunkirk and environs to-day. Thirty
bombs were thrown by the airmen, but,
owing to the precautions that had
been taken, there were few victims
The material damage was unimportant.
fBy Wireless TO The Tribune via Louis
burg. y. 81
London. Jan 1.-THE Times" says
sixteen German aeroplanes were seen
over the English Channel yesterday
morning and it is evident that raid
on England was contemplated. Having
got so far. however, the pilots appar-
ea.iy found weather conditions too bad
to continue their journey, for they
turned their machines and steered back
in the direction of Dunkirk.
A Zeppelin airship, accompanied By
three German monoplanes, passed over
Furnes, Dunkirk and Calais on Satur-
day night. according TO the French
frontier correspondent Of THE Daily
Chronicle" The aircraft seemed 20 be
headed for Dover. They were flying
very high and did not attack the towns
they Aew over.
No hostile aircraft were sighted at
anv point along the English coast on
Sundav. although vIgiiant aeroplane
and automobile patrol was maintained
