MANY INSPECT
MARTIN Store
OPENED TODAY


The Martin Cigar company to-
day formally opened their new
store, No. 16. located on the south
west corner Of market square.
The store is strictly modern and
up-t0-date in every detail, we'll
lighted and we'll ventilated, and
does credit to the tri-cities, as we'll
as to the company.
Enthusiastic clerks today wait
ed on hundreds of customers and
souvenirs were distributed to all
corners. The place was decorated
with great masses Of giant chrys-
anthemums and other flowers.
The features Of the new store are
the cafeteria and well equipped
lavatories and the handsome fix
lures throughout.
A. Sunderlin Of Chicago; is In
charge of the luncheonette and
fountain. He has had wide. exper-
fence in this line and is 3ble to
prepare fine menu. Jack \Bond
chief soda dispenser. will assist
Mr.. Sunderlif. Three clerks will
be ON duty under a system Of alter
nation. They are Pat Sexton. Fred
Reddy and J. c. Rinck, ali Of Rock
Island.
Window Space.
One of the striking features Of
the new establishment is its great
stretch of window Space length
in all Of 60 feet. The big plate
glass panel on the east side is Il
feet long, alone. In line with thu
complete revolution during thu
past few years in ideas concern
ing the fitting up Of tobacco stores
the new Martin store has beer
made a place Of beauty instead o.
mere utility. Its inward and out
ward appearance, though the place
is very small, would put to shame
many a drawing room.

meeting. The prosecutor instructed
the editor to cease collecting money

"Take Car Ahead''
Nuisance Abolished
On -Flatbush Line
Nixon to Order Through
Service in Brooklyn With.
out Conditions Regard
ing Fare, He Announces

Public Service Commissioner Nixon
yesterday took steps to abolish the "car
ahead" nuisance on the lines Of the
Brooklyn City Railroad Company. He
announced, after q hearing at his of
fee, he would issue q formal order di-
rectinG the company to operate a
throufh service in Flatbush Avenue,
Brooklyn, instead Of making passengers
change cars at the second-fare point.
A spirited clash occurred between
William N. Dyckman, counsel for the
company, and Terence Farley, legal ad-
wssf to the commission. when the or
der was made known.
"The company may not be ready to
I'VE will be ready to take you into
court to enforce it In that event." Mr..
Farley retortsd.
Representatives Of the company, at
the hearing were reluctant to yield
any point regarding service without
concessions BY the commission and
the city relative to their right to
charge a l0-cent fare.
II make this order utterly without
conditions as to fare" Commissioner
Nixon then told them. II shall direct
that at least q number Of cars equal
to that operated through before the
separation Oh Tue OEOOklyA SlCy 4luco
shall be opersted through over the Flat
bush Avenue route"
Mr.. Dyckman admitted fear that II
the company attempted through opera
tion and at the same time tried to
collect q second fare there would be
= disposition on the part Of the pas
senaers to resist the collection Of the
extra nickel. This was the reason
given originally by the management
Of the company for the "car ahead"
order.
A number Of men and women from
FlatlAnds. the part Of Brooklyn
affected by tho Flatbush Avenue line,
crowded into the room whore the
hearing was held. 1t was the first
time since the era of fare increases
struck Brooklyn that the travelling
public came face to face with the COM
pany representatives.
It was reported by some Of the Flat
lands citizens at the hearing that 4
committee had called on the Mayor
and that the members had been, in
effect, advised to resist the payment
Of Q second fare. This could not be
verified at City Hall.
Men and women who testified de-
clared their main objection was not
against the second fare, but the man.
ner In which 1t was collected and the
point at which it was done. They
contendcd that the second fare point
should be at Foster Avenue, several
blocks to the south Of the present
second fare point.
