Le.Uis Charges
Manslaughter in
Tunnel Horror

District Attorney Harry E. Lewis
started proceedings yesterday to fix the
criminal responsibility for the B. X. T.
tragedy. He promised to take drastic
action against those responsible for the
disaster.
Mayor Hylan will sit as commit
ting magistrate during the John Doe
proceedings, which will be continued
tomorrow afternoon. Yesterday in
the Flatbush Police Court, he sat as
magistrate when Mr.. Lewis filed an
affidavit charging manslaughter in the
second degree against John Doe and
Richard Doe. The affidavit was sworn
to by Police Inspector McElroy. The
District Attorney asked the Mayor to
Issue subpoenas for the examination of
witnesses. These witnesses will be in
terrogated tomorrow.
The Mayor intmated he wanted &C
ton not only against the crew in i'm
mediate charge of the death train, but
also against officers Of the railroad
responsible for placing packed train
of five wooden cars in charge of incom-
petent men. Three of the crew are
under arrest.
BY way of explanation for his ex-
traordinary action in sitting as n
magistrate Mayor Hylan when he won't
up to tse bench made the following
statement:
after giving serious consideration
to the frightful catastrophe which oc-
cured on the Brighton Beach line of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company,
which resulted in the death of almost
one hundred of our citizens, / have
come to the conclusion that public
necessity requires that l sit as COM

Motornan Qualified, Says Williams,
Ran Train Without Marker Lights

Colonel Timothy S. Williams, presi-
dent Of the B. r. r., issued the follow
ing statement after conference with
officials Of the company:
at has been impossible yet for our
officials to ascertain the cause Of the
accident except that it was due to a
derailment, because they have thus far
been excluded from the investigation
on the ground and from communication
with most Of the train crew. So far
as your specific inquiry relates to the
qualifications Of the motorman, my in
formation is that Lewis was appointed
guard in Decmeber, 1914; was made
crew dispatcher last January, and early
in September, 1918, he qualified as
motor switchman. A motor switchman
is a motorman who Is generally used
in the yard but is qualified to make
trips on the main line, and who from
the main line. When say that he
qualified as motor switchman / mean
that he had the necessary instruction

ain answer to your further specific
inquiry as to his running by the switch
j on the Fulton Street elevated at Frank
lin Avenue, am advised that the facts
are as follows:
1.-THE train was running with the
marker lights out. Therefore the
towerman did not know whether this
train was Fulton Street or Brigh-
ton Beach train, and set the switches

Square who is writing present his
tory in an unusual way. A needle
is her recording instrument, and in
filmy lsces she is tracing for posterity
the course Of immediate events. In doing
this Miss Marion Powys, of the Devon

dents Of lace making.
Lace makers are frightfully con-

who has come to the United States to
have freer scope for her imaginative
designs. Before the war could
hardly get the Englishwomen to make
my lace designs. They will stick to
the same patterns for generations,
handing them down in the family for
use. But once in a while somebody

appear which will later establish the
age of the lace"

wait to work it out" she said.
On fine net fichu the airplane Dor
der has since been executed by hand
in the pillow lace Of ancient Devon.
The planes have their noses buried in
circles of soft cloud and the design is
repeated around the entire scarf.
Thus, according to Miss Powys, has
history been written before by lace
makers who wearied Of the old pat
terms. She has bedspread, for ex-
ample, of sixteenth century Spanish
filet lace, whose age is established by
the Tarnassian bull with lyre-like horns
and the figure Of Pelago, who drove out
the Moors.
"These figures were inserted into the
design like my airplane Probably the
maker had no more intention of being
an historian than had. But some day
the airplane pattern Of the Mitchell
funeral may be the way of identifying
our twentieth century lace"

"And then, having found her, he will

this signal and ran short distance
past the signal. and when he found
| that his train was going up Fulton
Street he stopped and notified the
towerman that his train was destined
to Brighton Beach. Then, in order to
get this train on to the Brighton
face of traffic, the train was operated
east in Fulton Street to clear the in
terlocking and the motorman reversed
ends and operated his train west across
the cross-over 50 as to get into "a prop
er position to permit Of operating his
train on to the proper track Of the
Brighton Beach line. While to a pas
senger this might seem to be a COM
plicated movement it was the proper
movement under the circumstances at
this injunction in the iterests of
safety"
Offers Funeral Expenses
After being informed by reporters
of the financial distress of the families
of some of the victims of the wreck,
Colonel Williams sent the following
letter to Borough. President Riegcl-
mann.
"My dear MI. Riegelmann:
~ am informed that the families Of
some of the unfortunate victims of
last nights accident have not the nee
essary funds to arrange for burial
| and that some of the injured may pos
sibly be not able to pay for proper
medical treatment, and that you are
proposing to raise fund for such
purposes.
~ desire to say to you, on behalf of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company,
that you may draw on US for any
amount so reOuired

is made without regard to any claims
that any Of those injured or their
families may have by reason of the

SHOPS AND THINGS


, der at home here during his brief
stay before sailing none has ever been
made, until this week, to help him sat-
isfy this normal desire.
New York shops are a maze to the
soldier. He has heard of Fifth Avenue,
of course. 1t is a street Of magic. But
rumor has it that the prices arc magic,
too, and that only fairy pocketbook
which never empties can take one sue
cessfully through the intricate ways of
the thoroughfare. So they walk up
and down-our soldiers-and patronize
only the Ten-Cent Store on the Avenue,
for its red front is as familiar as the
hedge around home and its prices are
always quoted the same everywhere.
So many requests have come to the
War Camp Community Service, how
ever, for assistance in buying my sis
ter a hat" or something pretty for
mother" that it has opened shopping
bureau at EST Madison Avenue, head
quarters Of the National League for
Woman's Service. and here any man in
uniform may enlist the aid of a pro-
fessional shopper.
For the present only professionals
will handle the shopping business for
the bureau. Later, when the Christ
mas rush begins, all women who love
to shop may find this new way of
helping win the war.
VERY different from the reception
v Of the German toys which reached
America last week is that accorded
to a consignment of French dolls,
now holding court from window
Of Franklin Simon's. These are not
the elegant creations of other days,
when Paris doll was gorgeous thing
Of silk and wax and shiniest of curls.
Made Of old stockings, bits of colored
string and kid gloves and dressed in
scraps from clothes which have not
been worn since France went into
mourning, these dolls in their sim
plicity are characteristic of their
makers, tired but undaunted.
It is aStriumph, this display, of econ
omy production in a different sense
than the Germans know 1t. Not linn
itless numbers Of things turned out in
the interest Of quantity, but apprecia-
ton Of the possibilities for individu-
atty in all raw material. Given a
hank Of yellow string and stuffed
cambria body, one wounded French SOL
der has dreamed it into queenly fut-
urist creature with yellow braid jaunti-
ly swinging over shoulder on to a
chiffon frock, fashioned, perhaps, from
a candy box ribbon. Another wounded
poilu has discovered the superior quail
tiles Of kid gloves for making doll
faces, a dab Of rouge on the cheek
bringing out the grain-like human
skin. Every one Of these dolls will
bring a higher price than dozen of
their china-eyed, correctly and COM
pletely dressed German sisters.
