F;remen Rescue Passengers
Trapped in Blazing Third
Avenue Car
Accident Blocks Traffic
Danger and Difficulty Are In
creased by Icy Coating
of Structure

Wooden cars Of Harlem-bound
Third Avenue local elevated train were
shattered and one was set afire yester-
day, when they were rammed from be-
hind by an empty express train of steel
eoaches at Fifty-sixth Street The local
vas crowded and ten of the passengers
we're injured, one of them seriously,
and the motorman of the express train
was also hurt. If the cars of the local
had been OF steel, instead of the more
aimsy material, the damage probably
you'd have been comparatively light.
The blazing rear car of the local and
She ice-covered elevated structure
added to the fright of the passengers,
who were taken TO the street on ladders
erected by firemen. Traffic was blocked
for several hours.
The rear car Of the local took fire
Immediately after the collision. Fire
men quickly oNtinguished the blaze and
rescued the injured and the frightene d
women. Motorman Richard Lougheed,
Of the express, was imprisoned in his
box for twenty minutes. Firemen bat
cue him. Excepting a badly lacerated
night leg and few minor burns, he
was uninjured.
Patrick Dunn, forty-five years old, a
broker, Of 166? Lexington Avenue, was
taken to Flower Hospital, suffering
from three broken ribs. His cond-
ton is serious. but he will recover.
John j. Cronin, of $500 Fort Independ-
ence Avenue, a. patrolman assigned to
Police Headquarters, suffered a tract
ured right wrist, but went home.
Failure Of the brakes of the heavy
express train to work promptly caused
the accident. according to Lougheed.
The local which the empty express was
following, stopped abruptly, resulting
III the crash. II. Simmons, of 1905
Crotona Park North, motcrman of the
local, said he was forced to stop be-
cause another uptown train was dis
charging passengers at Fifty-ninth
Street.
The rear car of the local was de-
nolished. The first car of the express
ploughed ten feet into it, but, being
made of steel like the subway trains,
was not damaged.
After questioning Motormen Tough
eed and Simmons, the police cxonerated
them from all responsibility The In
terborough also regards the smash as
an accident. Lougheed has been a
motorman for nine years.
For several hours uptown traffic on
the Third Avenue line was suspended
Trains for Harlem and The Bronx were
sent over the Second Avenue branch,
For half an hour after the crash down
town Third Avenue traffic was halted
The Third Avenue surface cars were
also tied UP for like period.

Abolishes z More
Police Details
E'E1onest" Dan Costigan Is
Also Deprived of Two
of His Aids

Police Commi ssioner Enright yester-
day continued his reorganization of the
department by abolishing the social
welfare squad and the temporary de-
tail of 262 policemen in plainclothes
duty, both pet organizations of ex-
Commissioner Arthur Woods.
The social welfare squad was formed
for the purpose of teaching foreign
born residents that the police are not
enemies, but their friends. The eighty
men who composed it were assigned to
patrol duty yesterday.
From now on Ellen O'Grady, Fifth
of this work, which will be carried on
under her direction by lieutenants and
sergeants past the retiring age. Cap
tain McGrath, former head Of the
squad, may be assigned to Deputy Com
missioner O'Gradv's office to assist her.
The detail of plainclothes men elm
mated by Commissioner Enright was
called by Mr.. Woods "crilne prevention
officers" Their work was a modification
of the old ward man system. All except
twenty-five of them will 60 back into
uniform. The remainder will be as
signed to the Detective Bureau.
The Police Commissioner transferred
Sergeant Floyd Horton and Detective
Patrick Donnelly from the staff of In
spector "Honest Dan" Costigan to pre-
cincts, convincing Headquarters thai
Inspector Costigan's days are numbered
under the new regime.
1t was pointed out that having as
signed Costigan to do two mems work
in heading the vice squad and con-
handing the First Inspection District
at the same time, Commissioner Err
right had paved the way for his redIc-
ton on the ground Of incapacity. With
the additional handicap Of the loss Of
two Of his right hand men. Costigan s
position would become intolerable, it
was said.
Horton had been tower of strength
in the vice squad since its organiza-
ton and was particularly useful in in
vestigating charges of dishonesty maze
against policemen. He was sent o the
Fifth Street police station, in Brook
Ign.
Donnelly had worked with Costigar
for years recently as member Of the
"hotel squad" His assignment TO tho
West Forty Street, police sta
ton in uniform carries with it u re
duction in pay of 5000 year.

family out a window to the roof of a
fruit stand, the cat. tightly claspcd in
the arms of one of the children, being

of women Judges sat on cases af
fecting minors, as they are sure to do
in q few years, my boy would not have
been found guilty" said Mrs. Louise
Barenburg, mother Of sixteen-year
Paul Chapman, yesterday, at her
Brooklyn home. Mrs. Barenburg was
suffering from the shock of Fridays
verdict of murder in the first degree
brought in against her son.
"This is sad time for women to
live in,' she declared. "Many Of us have
to work to support ourselves and our
children under the same conditions as
men; and yet we have not the power to
make laws affecting ourselves and our
children. But the day is not far dis
tant when we viii all have a voice, and
then such thing as judging an unde-
veloped boy, incapable of seeing clear
ly, by the same standard as we Judge an
adult will be unthought of in court
Of law"
Paul, it will be remembered, was re-
garded by the District Attorney as in
full possession of his reasoning facul
ties, and to look at him casually one
would agree with the District Attorney.
Although only sixteen years of age,
paul's physique is that Of grown man.
"My boy, Paul. his mother con-
tinued, grew physically out Of all

developed at the expense of his brain.

Can t Stop Making
Vinegar a Minute
Days Closing Would Mean Loss
of Six Months

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Q. One
vinegar factory here has been in COW
tinuous operation twenty-four hours
day every day of the year for tifty-two
years and another for forty years.
This fact was brought cut when the
owners of the factories appealed from
the Fuel Administrators order closing
industries for certain periods to save
coal.
Vinegar experts testified that to stop
making vinegar would ruin the tanks
in which it is manufactured. Alcohol
is placed in tanks lined and packed
with beech shavings. If tie generating
process is halted the shavings are dried
out or burned up and are useless.
To stop for day would mean closing
six months, said large manufacturer
Much of the present output of vinegar
