DROPS IN BREAD LINE
FROM STARVATION
Man Sent to the City Lodging
House for Shelter and
Treatment.
LOANES AGAIN RIM SHORT

Everything was running along In the
usual way yesterday at THE SUNS bread
depot 1T 9 First street. when one of tho
men who had been standing in line for
half an hour suddenly keelci over IN
faint.
"Hey. there" shouted the man back of
him to a policeman, here's guy az
needs his ,oaf ahead o. time"
The policeman ran up TO zee what was
the matter and by the time he had reached
the spot the line had broken and a swarm
OF poorly clad men were lowering about
the PROSTATE figure.
What's the matter. boz" asked the po-
llcemnn, leaning dom. Come now. get
up"
But the man lay on his back as he
had fallen. his eyes staring vacantly into
tho dull clouds and his lips moving with
out giving any sound So the policeman
picked him up in his arms and carried
him into a nearby shop Then he tele-
phoned to Bellevue and In few minutes
an ambulance came. When the doctor
had brought tho man back TO his senses
he said starvation was what allied him
Tho warmth of the little shop and some
thing which the surgeon administered
soon put the invalid on his feet. Tom
Merry then took him by the arm and led
him over TO "A Bowery restaurant, where
a square meal was ordered. Later the
man came back TO the depot. as he had
been directed to, and said that he was
George Lewis, a plasterer. and that he
came to New York a week ago from
Cincinnati.
lie spoke 20 well and looked so en-
tirely honest that Tom Merry gave him
a note to Supt Whiting OF tho Municipal
Lodging House and later telephoned to
make sure that he would receive proper
medical attention and a bed until some
Of his strength had been recuperated.
Although Lewis IL the first man who
has actually collapsed in THE suns
bread line. there have been men, and
women too, every day who looked far
more haggard ana generally wretched
than he. Indeed. there are but few
faces among the 1000 men and women
that get loaf OF bread daily who do not
show marked signs OF long privation and
illness
Although only the usual amount of
bread was given away yesterday the
crowd was greater than on any other
day. The 1000 lOaVos were given away
in little less than an hour. and there
were stll some 200 men in the line. 1t
was hard on Tom Merry 20 have to an
nounce To these unfortunates that the
supply had been exhausted. Neverthe-
less there was no word of complaint TO
be heard, although there was many
disappointed face I'm the line.

B. R. 7. CHIEF WANTS
IDEAS TO BETTER LINE
Offers Figures to Show Com
pany Has Tried to Remedy
Evils Of Service.

The Grand Jury in brooklyn continued
yesterday the investigation OF the com
plants against tho Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company. Tho witnesses. who were
members OF several civic organizations
testified mainly to the overcrowding OF the
cars
President Timothy y. Williams Of tho
b. K. T. Issued a long statement giving
figures TO prove that the company had
made every effort 10 better transit facili-
ties and that the service had steadily i'm
proved from year to year.
"If any measures can be suggested TO
alleviate admitted discomforts OF the pres
ent period OF transition from inaccurate
facilities to facilities which We all hope
will be adequate TO Brooklyn's needs"
said President Wilhsms, I'VE will be the
first to welcome such disclosures or sug-
gest,ons.
THE oDeration OF surface lines has
been the subject OF intermittent agitation
ana inquiry, Assertions have been made
that service has been reduced rather than
increased.
ITO obtain a background against which
to limo up such accusations as this We
present comparison OF figures on roye-
nue.. car mileage, car trips and tho average
number OF cars operated on surface lines
IN the years ended June 30, 1903 and 1914,
respectively. the operation OF the Coney
Island and Brooklyn road from the time
OF its acquisition by the II. Il. T. system
being included In the figures for the latter
year:

Car mileage. .,...,,St ,S1,6S b2.2@.0s 1886, 80
Car trips. ...,...,. O,.SS,sp N,6ei,l0 $3.50 ,a30
Average number OF
cars operated, l,l2O Lsss sSs
This means that in period in which
revenue has increased $685. per cent,
car mileage (in spite of the fact that
little or no new track mileage could be
built during most of tnesL years). has
Increased 1897 per cent. the number of
car trips has increased si.s6 per cent,
and the number OF ears operated has in
creased 1850 per cent
THE examination of the figures in detail
for the intervening years between 1903
and 1914 tells the same story OF a con-
slstent and, in the main, Il notably sue
cessful effort to keep the growth Of facili-
! ties in pace with the growth Of traffic"
Mr.. Williams said that money had been
provided for 500 steel cars OF new design
Then, after telling OF the big new plans
of the company, he added:
"Now. with this long awaited relief
| almost In hand, charges are made that
demands of traffic 10 the best OF It's ability
THE facts do not bear out such con-
ciusson" .......... 1000.

them to do this. II was said, he would then
sell at retail at prices which forced this
