influenza cases that have devel-

ated a sentiment against too

have developed during the past
five days, the majority Of them
being in American Falls. Fif-
teen cases were reported in
one day. This is the high mark
Of the week, and by continuing
the ban it is hoped to make it
the high mark for future weeks

many may have been exposed,

While all are anxious to have
the ban lifted as soon as It can

War Savings Pouring In
City Contributing Enough to
Feed the Army

The army Of war savers recruited in
New York City during the recent drive
is pouring in enough money to the
nations war treasury each day to feed
all the American forces on the Western
front, Chairman Allen, director of war
savings here, announced yesterday.
Mr.. Allen declared that the income
from War Savings Stamps alone is in
excess Of the entire cost of running
the government before the war.
New York alone is putting enough
money into the Treasury every day
to cover the subsistence of all the
American soldiers now taking part in
the ADVANCE Mr.. Allen said "New
York's population is about one
twentieth Of the entire nations and, if
we may consider that she is proper
tionately represented in the front line,
it is safe to say that her war savers
are now supplying food enough for all
her fighting sons and giving them an
additional two million rounds of am
munition a day"

Subway Jam" to End When
New H" System Opens Aug. |
Many Points Now Congested Particularly Below Times
Square, Will Procure Relief; marlborough Plans Event
ually to Make StrapFlanging Unnecessary

New York years ago-how many the
present generation has forgotten--tired
of the inability of the surface lines and
the inadequate two-tracked East Side
and West Side az" roads to alleviate its
suffering during the rush hours.
There was conceived at that time a
campaign that had for its slogan,
From City Hall to Harlem in fifteen
minutes" and from which there sprang
a marvel of engineering-the subway,
the latest link of which, the "H" sys
TEN, will be put into operation Au-
gust l.
"L" road transportation has also
passed through a startling transforma-
ton Where before the city bore with
the two track system that made adver-
tised express service q joke, to-day
every 81" road in Manhattan and The
Bronx and most of those in Brooklyn
have been "third-tracked," bringing
what short time ago was considered
the "wilds" of Queens, Brooklyn and
The Bronx from thirty to fifty minutes
nearer Manhattan, and extending many
lines for miles as part of the subway
system.

President VIII Turn On ISL
and's Lights by Switch
From White House

President Wilson will turn on the
Coney Island lights by a switch in the
White House on August %, when the
Knights of Columbus launch a weeks
drive TO obtain funds for welfare work
among Long Island soldiers.
In a letter indorsing the campaign,
sent to Thomas J. Evers. chairman Of
the Coney Island Week Committee, Mr..
Wilson said, in part:
"The generous work inaugurated by
the Knights Of Columbus. the Young
Mems Christian Association and the
Young Mems Hebrew Association is so
instinct with the best purposes and
That it should be heartily supported.
The campaign which the Knights of
Columbus are undertaking TO raise a
special fund for their work is of capi-
tai Importance to the useful work they
are doing in increasing the comfort
and contentment of oar citizen army,
and should meet with generous re
sponse from all OF our people"
The Knights of Columbus have OBJ
tanned possession of Coney Island for
a week, and. besides holding series
of special entertainments and celebra-
tions, will conduct the permanent con-
cessions for the benefit OF the fund
The money obtained will be devoted
exclusively to work among soldiers and
/ sailors hailing from Long Island.

cludes Greater New York day. army

Success Stirs Up
The Sister Burroughs

Soon after the opening OF the sub
vav Manhattan aroused in her sister
boroughs and in adjacent New Jersey
cities a keen desire for better facilities
to the big Town" Protests came from
Brooklynites who had depended almost
entirely on the Brooklyn Bridge and
the ferries to reach Manhattan; Queens
and Long Island residents who were at
the mercy of the Long Island Railroad
and it's ferries, and Jerseyites with New
York business interests who depended
solely on the ferries.
And thereupon came into being:
The Williamsburg Bridge to convey
by means of the Broadway, Myrtle
Avenue, Cypress Hills and Jamaica
"L" trains the good folks Of Williams
burg, East New York, Ridgewood,
Brownsville, Richmond Hill and ia
maica to the Chambers Street ter
minal in the Municipal Building via
the Centre Street loop.
The Manhattan Bridge, over which
i
B. r. T. carries the residents of Bay
Ridge, Bath Beach, Sheepshead Bay,
Fort Hamilton, Brighton Beach and
Coney Island to Manhattan, to trans
fer at Canal Street for stations as far
north as Times Square and as far
south as Rector Street. This system
also opened new way to reach Coney
Island from Forty-second Street with
out changing cars.
The greensboro Bridge, which
extended the Long Island surface cars
to Fifty-ninth Street and Second Ave-
nue., Manhattan, and opened the way
for the extension of the Second Ave
nue. az" train service through Queens
as far as Flushing.
The Steinway tube, to carry resi-
dents of Greenpoint, Hunters Point,
Astoria and Long Island City to the
Grand Central Station, there to con-
meet without extra fare to the Inter
borough subway either north or south
bound.
And the Hudson tubes, which not
only brought Newark, Jersey City and
Hoboken within few minutes Of
New York, but gave Manhattanites
downtown a fast line to the Penn
sylvania Depot, to connect with Long
Island and Jersey trains, as we'll as

Attorney Asks Law
To Help Detectives

Imperative need of reform in the
legal procedure for dealing with
feebleminded lawbreakers, including
the establishment of psychopathic elm
les in connection with the criminal
courts and penal institutions, is urged
in a report presented to the new State
Commission on Feebleminded by Fran
els D. Gallatin, chairman of the com
mittee of criminal courts and proceed
ure of the New York County Lawyers
Association.
His recommendation is based on a
study of the situation. He says his
inquiry convinced him that the law
is in need of amendment and that re-
sponsibility should, in a large meas
ure, be based not on the age of the
body, but on the age of the mind.
He advocates legislation for the
segregation and detention, or super
vision, of delinouents discovered to
be defective. He pointed out that a
large number of "repeaters" among
criminals are detectives.

Great Improvement
Already Achieved

The operation of the B. R. T. system
has already had its effect on the Brook
lyn Bridge traffic. The residents of the
district from the bridge to Broadway
through which run the Myrtle Avenue
and Lexington Avenue al" roads are
no longer jammed in with those who
live beyond Broadway, in Rdgewood,
Cypress Hills, Richmond Hill and Ja-
maica. The "long riders" now use the
B. f. T. express trains running into
the Municipal Building terminal and
which go over the Williamsburg Bridge
1t is found also that the opening of
the Fourth Avenue subway, the Sea
Beach Coney Island subway and the
West End line, with terminals in the
Municipal Building Rector Street,
Union Square and Times Square, has
cut in half the number Of people who
were forced formerly to use the trains
running over the Brooklyn Bridge.
1t may take two years-it may take
even longer-to put through to com
pletion the subway system now planned.
1t will tax, too, the sgnwritng and
adviceg giving propensities of Theodore
P. Shonts to keep passengers from be-
coming confused at the Grand Central
and the Canal Street stations when the
system is completed.
But when it is finished there is every
promise that strap hanging will be a
rarity-even in rush hours. And for
that New York has sighed, begged and
fought-and is willing to wait until
Uncle Sam releases from war work the
necessary materials and men.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-22
Grand Central
Centre of the System

Forty-second Street.-The Grand Cen
tral-will be the centre Of the subway
system, for here will be the real con-
Meeting link between the East and
West Side lines. Come ection will be
made only by shuttle, but with the
present plans carried out, there will
BE- FIVE levels on the site Of the pres
ent station and the old Grand Union
Hotel.
The first level will be that CT the re-
built Park Avenue "cut"; the second
that of the shuttle (ths will be the
present platform); the third will be
the Lexington Avenue or East Side
subway; the fourth, the Stcinway tun-
mel from Queens, and the fifth, the pro
posed terminal for the Hudson tubes.
At the 125th Street Station, which
will supplant the old Nlnety-slxth
Street Station as the uptown transfer
point, there will be two lcvels-the
upper for the northbound express and
local tracks; the lower for the south
bound expresses and locals.
The "H" system will bring relief to
many of the points now congested

Great ask Not
Yet Finished

But New York has not yet finished
the task of reorganizing its transit sys-
tenn, as was attested by the opening on
Wednesday Of the Lexington Avenue
subway and the putting into operation
three weeks ago Of the Seventh Avenue
subway.
When the world war releases the
steel now going into needed ships and
munitions, and when the "stay-at-
homes" doing their bit by working on
war contracts return to normal occupa-
tions, the Interborough's subway sys-
tenn now in operation to connect the

N. j. Mason Drowned
Body of Valentine Bagley Is
Found in Railway River

RAILWAY, N. J., July 21-Valentine
Bagley, seventy years old, one of the
most prominent Masons in New Jersey,
was found drowned IN the Railway
River this afternoon within a short
distance from the spot where his motor
boat was moored
Bagley, who lived at 119 West Milton
Avenue, spent much time in his motor
boat and did not come home last night.
To-day a member of the Railway Boat
Club found some clothing. glasses and
a wallet in the boat and notified the
police.
The articles were identified as Bag
ley's. Search of the river was made
for the body and it was recovered, clad
in bathing suit.
For fifty years Bagley had been con-
nected with the New York Custom
House. He was Past Grand Master
of the Grand Lodge, secretary Of the
State Veteran Masons' Association. and
a vestryman of St Paul's Church here.
He is survived by one daughter and
five sons

every morning and evening. The most
important relief, the Public Service
Commission feels, will lie had below
Times Square. AS the system now
stands, every one wishing to get down
town piles into the first train. With
the West Side residents separated from
those of the East and with both sys-
tens running within a few blocks Of
each other when the downtown district
is reached, it is hoped that there will
be distribution of traffic that will
eliminate most of the overcrowding
now experienced in the morning and
evening
In the evening it is thought that
people will readily fall into the habit
Of walking an extra block or two to
get a no-change or through train, and
therefore the usual jams at Rector
Street, Wall Street and the Brooklyn
Bridge stations will be eliminated.
