TRAFFIC DECREASES
ON SUBWAY AND FL"
P. S. c. Figures ShoW Novem-
Der and December Loss.

Figures compiled by the Public Service
Commission show a decrease in traffic
on the subway and elevated lines of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
for the months Of November and Decem-
Der. 1918, over the corresponding months
In 1917. 1t was to be expected that the
elevated lines would show n decrease
because OF the opening of the subway
III" but the Increase on the latter lines
did not make up the loss on the elevated.
The loss I'm November was i7S,752. In
December the traffic picked up again
and the loss over 1917 was only 1881.
There was loss in the subway traffic in
the upper West Side and Washington
Heights section. In November. 1918,
there was loss of 3o3,le6 fares at the
stations between and including 1o3d
street and 242d street over the corre-
spending month In 1917.
Where the traffic has been going II not
explained. because the surface lines op-
Grated by the New York Railways Com
pany have shown q steady decrease in
traffio for the past twelve months. Tho
total receipts of the system for tho Pc
Rod January to November inclusive OF
1918 were s1,2o6.oo0 less than in the
same months in 1917.

HERO, WOUNDED 6S
TIMES, FETED HERE
Gas Company Mates Entertain
Sergeant Who Won Hon
Ors at Cambria.

THO whole Who's Who OF the Consoli
dated Gas Company. starting with
George r. Cortelyou. president. and
young Bob Livingston. attended a nine
alarm dinner last night given by chauf-
feurs for a chauffeur. The guest OF
honor happened to be John w. Grimmer.
who drove for the company for nineteen
years and than went to war and got
to be first sergeant of Company !. 105th
Infantry-the old Seventy-hrst Regi-
ment.
All that Grimmer did at Cambria was
to take what was left OF his company
after half OF It waS hit and all the COM
mlssloned officers lost plumb through
the Hindenburs line. He emerged full
of gas and heavier man than when
the fight started. for he had In his body
sixty-elght pieces Of shell which have
since been removed. He arrived on the
Lapland on January 10 and is now under
treatment several hours a day having
badly injured leg baked and massaged
at the Hotel Nassau at Long Beach,
which Is doing duty as a hospital
The dinner was given at Allaire's Res
taurant l65 East Seventeenth street.
by his fellow chauffcurs OF the gas COM
pany Mr.. Cortelyou and two vlce-pres-
idents Robert A. Carter and Walter r.
Add!cks, were among the speakers who
paid their respects to Top Sergeant
Grimmer. He told his story sitting in
chair and when he finished was pre-
scented with bronze statuette OF a SOL
der going over the top. He told of
crossing the st. Quentin Canal and then
when the remnant OF his company was
ready 20 take a small town on a hill
OF being peppered from tho rear by
Germans who had popped out Of q
tunnel under the canal.

holes and gave the enemy al! they
wanted. but could not locate their posi-
tons very well. One OF my men hit
in the wrist called out for some one
to dress the wound. as he would soon
bleed TO death. Bullets were sweeping
the tops of all the shell holes, but I
took chance and went over 10 that
chap and handaged him up fine. He ha d

dark under heavy gas and shell fire and
then four OF my men carried me four

the stations were busy they had to take

THIEF SHIPS HAIR
OF SLEEPING WOMAN
Wife Of Passaic Man Awakes
to Find Her Tresses Lying
on Kitchen Table.
DOOR OF ETHER IN HOUSE
None of Family Awakened
Burglar Took $50, Left $12
Beside Hirsute Roll.
DOOR OF ETHER IN HOUSE

Mrs. William Hawthorne. wife OF the
foreman Of the Dundee handkerchief fac
tory in Passaic. N. j., felt an unaccus-
toned drowsiness yesterday when she
reluctantly awakened in her homo. 422
Harrison street An odor of ether was In
the room and her husband was sleeping
soundly. After she had roked him sew
eral times without eiciting comment
Mrs. Hawthorne slipped pair OF small
feet into bedroom slippers and glided
into the kitchen, which adjoins the bed
room.
As she approached tho kitchen table
she stopped short Stretched out upon
the tables spotless surface was a braid
of brown hair about sixteen inches long,
exactly like that which had been at
tached TO her own head tho night before.
Beside the hair a pair OF scissors rested.
near which was S12 in bills. piled neatly.
Mrs. Hawthorne was fully awake by
this time, but, as she afterward ex-
planned to the police. she doubted her
own sanity. The longer she looked at
the hair the more familiar II seemed.
Suddenly thought came TO her and she
clapped her hand to the back OF her head
ana tnen commenced screaming. 1teT
hair was nipped short and It was evident
that the tresses on the table had been
shipped from her while she slept.
Mrs Hawthorne's cries aroused her
husband. An investigation disclosed
that tho s32 which had been in the
bureau draw in the bedroom was miss
ing. The money in the kitchen was
part OF Il. The Passaic detectives
believe the thief left It behind through
remorse ard In payment for despoiling
Mrs, Hawthorne OF her braids.
At the foot OF the bed Mr. Hawthorne
found an empty bottle which had once
been filled with a corn cure which con-
tains ether as an ingredient The
burglar had sprinkled II upon absorbent
cotton and placed it over the faces OF
the sleepers. and the cotton was dis
covered in the bed. The eighteen
months-old baby, who slept IN the same
room. had also been etheriZed during
the night and was Ill yesterday as a
consequence. Their two other children
little girls. who slept in an adjoining
room. had heard no sound. they said.
The thief entered through kitchen
window, which had been unlocked, It
was discovered. The police were
puzzled as to why the marauder left
Mrs. Hawthornes hair behind. after he
had unwound the knot in which 1t had
been braided. Strengthened 1t upon the
pillow and cut II.
The burglar had gono to De 70
fr!gerator and helped himself to q cold
supper.
