Suspects.

Police and agents of the American
Protective League last night raided the
headquarters Of the International Hotel
Workers at 1Ss West Forty-sixth street
where six men were arrested and
promptly sent down town to be cues
toned by the Department of Justice
Then mouse trap" was baited and set
The organization has 700 members
and those who came to the well ap-
pointed four story clubhouse in the
heart of the hotel and theatre district
found 1t easy to get in but far more diff
ficut to set out. All were scarchingly
cross-exami ned, and in addition to the
six arrested at the time of the raid six
more prisoners were taken during the
evening and sent to the West Forty-sev-
enth street police station. The mouse
tran" would remain set the police said.

Henry y. Oakley of the American Pro-
tective League, which has Offices at 1890
Broadway and has been active in COM
batting enemy propaganda. went 10 the
West Forty-seventh street police station
Yesterday. accompanied by eleven of his
agents. He laid before Capt Charles
Mckinney certain facts which he said
had come to his notice concerning the
West Forty-sixth street clubhouse, the
fun name OF the organization conducting
1t being the International Federation OF
Workers in the Hotel, Restaurant. Club
and Catering Industry.
There are branches in Atlantic CITY
Phila delphia, Washington, Baltimore
and number Of other large cities. and
the members have been active In TO-
mentlng strikes in New York hotels in
the past.
Oakley said he had reason to believe
thnt No -
persons connected with the l. w. w. and
large number OF enemy aliens who
were active in spreading German propa.
ganda and in endeavor!ng to make
trouble.
After listening to what Oakley had
to say Capt Mckinney headed a squad
Of uniformed men and, accompanied by
Oakley and the eleven American Pro.
tective League agents. the party moved
on the club house. They found about
100 men inside. In addition to arrest
ing six Of them, the raiders made n
search of letters and papers on file, and
nearly n wagon load of these was taken.
1t is asserted that some of the lit
erature found was considered seditious,
and II was turned over to the Depart
ment OF Justice, together with the pris-
oners. for examination.
The police and society agents re-
manned on guard inside the club, and
as soon as members under suspicion
entered they were questioned by the
officers Four OF the second six who
were taken are accused OF not having
cards. One is suspected or
being an active alien enemy, despite
his statement that he Is a native of
Alsace. The sixth IL accused OF being
deserter.
Mr.. Oakley was authority for the
statement la st night that the club mem
bers had defied the authorities. He said
there were two War Savings stamp
posters in the club house, but not ex-
posed to view,

EAT BEANS OR LOSE THEM.
Federal Board Asks for Drive on
Old Crop Surplus.

There are 100. 900 bushels or last years
beans In the New York market which
are in danger OF going to waste unless
they are consumed before the 1918 crop
comes in. In the hope of saving them
the Federal Food Board issued call
yesterday for a bean drive" to begin
at once.
Just as the consuming public came
TO the rescue during the spring and
early summer to save the surplus pota-
toes" the board said. so a similar pa
triotic use OF beans is requested. Pa
triotic housewives are urged 10 have a
bean dinner or bean supper at least one
day a week as means OF using up the
present surplus. One reason for the
existing surplus Is a falling off in the
consumption OF beans during the past
few months.

engineers who planned II and the oper-

Il have also been informed that even
though the problem at that time was
much simpler than now, very great con-
fusion existed when the PETERBOROUGH
subway was opened in 1904. 1t was
several days then before the operation
became smooth and confusion was
abated.
One thing that has made difficulty
at the present time is that many persons
out Of quite natural curiosity have
congregated at Grand Central and Times
Square stations TO see what the new
subways look like. Add their presence
to the crowds using these stations by
necessity and the situation at once takes
on serious aspect, because the biggest
subway station can, a. best. accommo-
date very limited number, Of persons
al any one time.
The travelling public should also
bear in mind that operating trains over
the new junction points is a matter
which must be done carefully until the
new work is all in. and that until the
motormen are familiar with the condi-
TORS of H operation service is bound
to be delayed here and there. This,
however. will soon adjust itself
More Signs to he Installed.
Additional signs for the purpose OF
directing passengers at the big transfer
points are being installed by the Inter-
borough and this will doubtless help a
good deal. More special officers and
guards will be stationed at places where
they seem TO be needed to direct pas
sengers to and from the platforms
Some CONFUSION is probably caused
by the temporary expedients which It
was necessary to adopt when through
operation was. terminated and shuttle
service begun across Forty-second street
These arrangements will be improved
very shortly. now that the tracks have
been cut and space is provided es-
pecially at Times Square. for additional
platforms, &c. The arrangements were
the best which could be made before
the old service was permanently termi-
mated. Through lines and shuttle trains

in the very near future, facilitating
transfer for those WHO find II unavoid-
able.
THE travelling public can assist most
or all in correcting the situation at Times
Square and Grand Central stations by
avoiding making transfers at those
points, or course 1t Is understood that
some transfers are necessary. as in the
case OF persons from the upper West
Side desiring to reach Brooklyn points
But oftentimes n subway passenger may
use direct route to his destination IL
he Will but take little longer walk at
the conclusion OF his trip or at its be-
ginning. BY taking the direct route a
transfer at Times Square and Grand

passenger who does so will contribute to

Chairman HubbrII Explains.

Charles Buikley Hubbell, chairman OF
the Public Service Commission. issued
the following last night as expressing
the belief both of the commission and
of The marlborough that the system will
yet come up to all that has been prom
Used. Mr.. Hubbel believes that custom
will beget familiarity and that within a
short time the new system will be the
great aid to city travel that its design
ers planned. He said
THE commission has had every avail
able man out, both last night and to-day,
carefully studying the traffic conditions
on the newly opened II lines with a
view to relieving the situation wherever
possible. 1t was inevitable that con-
fusion should arise to a degree as a
result of so radical and revolutionary n
change In the principal transportation
artery of Manhattan.
The commission has for a long time
felt that somewhat the condition which
exists to-day would exist and took every
possible means to meet IT, having car
ried on for several weeks an extensive
publicity campaign, with the cordial as
sstance of the newspapers, in an effort
to educate the million and a quarter
subway travellers daily to the new con-
dltions.

ing of the change particularly at Times

requiring the greatest ingenuity In its

out the work weeks in advance down to
the most minute detail that the connec-
tons were made within as short time

informed that the Interborough had
