Christmas Trees Higher
In Price; Supply Short
No Maine Evergrcens Coming,
Due to Disease; No Raise in
Ornaments

Do your Christmas tree shopping
early, is the advice Of P. Q. Foy, mar
ket expert, to those contemplating the
annual deception of young America.
The cost of tree ornaments has not
advanced, except in a few shops.
The supply of trees will be about 80
per cent of last years The price dur
ing the few days before Christmas will
be about 30 per cent above 1917 quota
tions The influenza epidemic, labor
shortage and increased freight charges
have contributed to the advance in
cost
Another factor is that no Maine trees
will come to this market because Of
some communicable disease said to be
carried in their branches. A majority
of the trees viii come from Canada
About fifteen carloads are now in New
York City
Retail prices are about 40 cents each
for small ones, 81 for large and rs
cents for medium. Outdoor evergreens,
fifteen to thirty feet high, are whole
sailing from So to $25 each.
: Mr. Foy predicted that the foregoing
prices will advance at least 30 per
cent.
Inquiry at chain stores dealing in
ornaments showed prices are the same
as during the last four years.

Conductorettes Accept
Terminal Bar Hospitality
Lack of Rest Room at End of

The fact that women conductors on

dered and are accepting the hospitality
of n saloon at this junction was dis
closed yesterday by Mrs. f. D. Prem
dergast, captain of the women's police
reserve of the 36th Precinct.
According to Mrs. Prendergast. the
women employees go into the saloon of
James p. Droogan because the transit
company has made no provision for a
rest station at this point. 1t is COM
mon thing, Mrs. Prendergast says, to
see the girls in their khaki uniforms
going in and out of the rear entrance
of the saloon.
Mrs. Prendercast says she has APP
pealed to DR.. A. Edwin Kcigrin, pas
tor of the West End Presbyterian
Church, at 105th Street and Amstcr-

shoppers Subway
Suggested to End
tumble of Traffic
F. C.. Weber Would Have
Belt Line Constructed and
Then Revert to Old Z Sys-
tenn OH All Other Lines

Frederick c. Weber, a mechanical en-
gineer, whose plan for a "crisss-c cross"
subway was rejected by the Fifth Ave-
nue. Association, announced yesterday
that he has submitted another solution
of the subway problem to the associa-
tion and the Public Service Commits
sion.
This suggestion involves a shopping
district belt line subway, running un-
der Forty second Street, Park Avenue,
Thirtyfourth Street and Seventh Ave
nue., on which two trains would run
.inuously, furnishing connections
with all the subways now in operation.
BY means of the connections for the
belt line, Mr.. Weber declared, it would
be possible also to revert to the old
'L' subways system, by which some
Lexington Avenue trains could be sent
across Forty-second Street to the West
Side subway and some West Side trains
sent across the same route to the Lex
lngton Avenue subway. The shuttle
would be done away with, he said, and
the publlc would be able to travel much
IN accordance with its old habits.
This arrangement" said Mr.. Weber
IN memorandum attached to his plan.
provides for two kinds of local SER
vice, one to supply the straight north
and south through traffic; the other
or alternate connects both trunk lines
with each other without having to re-
sort to shuttle service.
we are all familiar with the old
" route; this plan considers the
restoration of this very satisfactory
service in conjunction with service
over the new Lexington Avenue and
Seventh Avenue extensions"
TO carry out the proposal of Mr..
eber there would have to be joint
B. K. tt. R. 7. station at Forthwith
Street and Broadway, wheer the
Seventh Avenue and Broadway sub
ways would meet. Curve connections
would have to be provided and the
two northbound tracks depressed for a
short distance at either end of Times
Square for operating trains at two
levels at those points, permitting the
diagonal trains to pass over the
through north and southbound trains
Similar construction would be neces-
sary at the Grand Central Station, but
much of the work there already has
been done, he says.

Revoking of b. r. T.
Franchise Asked by
Wreck Victims Kin
Punishment of Officials for
Brighton Accident Is De-
manded at a Heated
Meeting in Brooklyn

Demands for the forfeiture Of the
brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's
franchise and the appointment of a re-
ceiver were made yesterday at a meet
ing of 800 relatives of Brighton Beach
~ wreck victims at Erasmus Hall
High School, Brooklyn.
Hall OF the men and women who
filed the hall were garbed in mourn
ing. for the ninety-hve dead of the
accident
When ]. F. Hughes, of 1O6 Monroe
street Brooklyn, declared that the B.
X. /. offlclals were guilty of murder
and oug ght to be tried for it, men and
women In all parts of the hall iumped
up, shouting "Kin them! Shoot themt'
1 he assemblage was again wrought to
high pitch of feeling by recitals of
scenes at the morgue following the
wreck.
Lewis to Get Support
Resolutions adopted condemned the
manner in which the B. R. T. allowed
ITS f1ances to overshadow its operation
of the railroad and the safety of pas
sengers, and pledged support to Dis
trlct Attorney Lewis in his efforts to
secure indictments against high Off
cials.
Joseph T. Griffin, a public school
principal, presided, and said that there
were other curves on the line lust as
bad as that which caused the wreck.
Lieutenant Joseph F. Wright. U. S.
~ whose niece, Miss Violet Betz, was
killed in the wreck, declared that, if
the authorities would not heed the de-
mand of the victims relatives, he per
sonally would start action against the
B. Z. T.
Threatens Legal Action
81 will spend every cent have and
devote the rest of my life to sending
the officials of the B. R. T. who were
guilty of causing this wreck to jail"
he cried. "If the laws are not broad
enough there is a quotation in the
Bible that fits the case, and that is,
An eye for an eye, a tooth for
tooth
The resolution adopted was as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company, which has an absolute
and complete monopoly on the transit
lines of Brooklyn through gross and
criminal negligences caused the death
of ninetytive and the injuring of two
hundred individuals, passengers upon
the wrecked Brighton Beach elevated
trains on November l; and,
"Whereas, the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company has evaded the just laws
and orders of the Public Service Com
mission made for the protection of
passengers upon these lines, it is plain
that the company has broken its cove
nants with the City of New York, and
its contracts with the city should be
declared forfeited and legal nroceedincs
taken by the proper officials to secure
the appointment of receiver for the
company to operate the lines in such a
manner that responsibility for the ac-
tions of the railroad and it's servants
can be definitely fixed and the high
standard of discipline and efficiency of
the employees can be maintained.
The resolution also called upon the
Public Srvice Commission to compel
the B. R. T. to eliminate all curves and
tunnels that are dangerous on elevated,
surface and subway lines of the system
and to adopt a policy of courtesy
toward its patrons.
