Attack by Public
Service Officials
Commission Rules That ssLs'
and Subway Cars Must
Be Certified in Good Con
dition Before Put in Use

fresh attack on the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company was made yesterday
by the Public Service Commission in
announcing that hereafter no cars shall
be run on the "L" or subway lines
which have not been certified as in
good condition. 1t further ordered that
al" cars shall not be operated for more
than 1850 miles and subway cars more
than 2,700 miles without being inspect
ed. The order provides also that car
developing mechanical defects shall be
retired from service until repaired.
The commission found "the regula-
tions, practices and acts of the New
York Consolidated Railroad Company in
the repair. replacement and mainte-
nance in good operating condition of
equipment improper, insufficient and in
adequate; that cars and their appurte-
nant equipment have not been kept and
are not now in thorough repair; that
cars and equipment are unsafe. i'm
proper and insufficient, and that the
company's lines and the transportation
of passengers are not properly cared
for and safeguarded.'
The Investigations and reports of the
Public Service Commission alleged that
the company was seriously falling be-
hind ir its efforts to keep its equip
ment in safe and proper operating
condition, and that the rules and prac-
tees OF the company, as established
and followed with the sanction of its
responsible officers. were not such as to
keep the equipment in thorough repair
or prevent the frequent use Of cars
that were out of repair"

sentative of prominent London
theatrical producer to Walter
Chandler, manager of the Hotel
Martinique, to arrange, if possible,
contracts calling for the appear
ance of the entire "Attaboy" re-
vue company in the Piccadilly Club
and Restaurant, London.
lnasmuch as the "Attaboy" re-
vue has been one of the best res
taurant productions staged in New

was loath to disturb its run here.
In refusing the London offer Man
ager Chandler, however, made a
counter offer to produce duplicate
"Attaboy" production and thereby
not deprive New Workers of their
stellar restaurant attraction.

CHAPTER ~.
@The o,RsiIIY.n

Age and easy living had caused Don
Mario de Castano, .he sugar merchant,
to take on weight, Tie had, in truth.
become so fat that he waddled like a
penguin when he walked; and when he
rode, the springs of his French vic
tCria gave up In despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac-
teal and unromantic; he boosted that
he had never had an illusion, never an
interest outside of his business. And
yet, on the day this story opcus, this
prosaic parsonage, In spite of his buIg-
ing waistband and his taut neckband,
In spite Of his short breath and his
prickly heat, was In a very whirl of
pleasurable excitement. Don Mario, in
fact, suffered the greatest Of all illu-
sions he was in love, and he believed
himself beloved The object of his
alteration was little Rosa Varona, the
daughter Of his one-tlme friend Este
ban. To be sure. he had met Rosa only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough I;
with prompt decision he had resolved
to do her the honor Of making her his
wife.
Notwithstanding the rivulets Of per-
SEPARATION that were coursing down
every fold Of his flesh, and regardless
Of the fact that the body of his victoria
was tipped at a drunken angle. as If
struggling TO escape the burdens Of his
great weight, Don Mario felt a jaunti-
ness Of body and OK spirit almost like
that of youth. he saw himself as a
splendid prince riding toward the
humble home Of some obscure maiden

whom he had graciously chosen to be
his mate.
His arrival threw Donna Isabel .nto
autter; the woman could scarcely
contain her curiosity when she came 10
meet him, for he was not the sort Of
man to Inconvenience himself by mere
social visits. Their first formal greet
ings over, Don Mario surveyed the bare
living room and remarked. lugubri-
ouSly:

Times have been hard since poor Es-
TEXANS death"
what terrible calamity that wasi

"A shocking affair, truly and one I
shall never get out of my mind"
Shocking, yes. But what do you
think of a rich man, like ESteban, who
would leave his family destitute2 Who
would die without revealing the place
where he had stored his treasurer
Donna Isabel, It was plain, felt her
wrongs keenly she spoke with as much
spirit as If her husband had permitted
himself to be killed purely out OF spite
toward her.
'As If ii were not enough to lose
that treasure" the widow continued
stormily, ''the government must free
