NO LIQUOR
 DEALERS HAVE
 ASKED REBATE
Commissioners Expect Re quests For Money In
 Few Days.

The county commissioners stated today that no liquor dealers have yet applied for a rebate on their 191S- 1919 licenses, despite the notices pub lished last week that the State At torney General had declared such re- bates could be legally made. The commissioners said some of the deal CTS who have become discouraged by the outlook may appear within few days and demand some of their money back.
 The commissioners did not accept any license fees for 1919-1920 all though they received applications for licenses. Therefore there will be no complications in regard to rebates on new licenses. It is feared there may be long delays before applicants for rebates on old licenses get their money back. The money for the un- used part of the license must be re turned by the city or town where the dealer Is located and as in many cases this money has been spent there will be many complications and much red tape before the dealer finally gets his money.

STRANGE TIEUP MAKES MANY
 PEOPLE LATE
Thousands of Commuters Stalled In Subway
 Trains.

New York, Dec. 29.---An unusual transportation tieup occurred here to- day when the entire 1nterborough Rapid Transit system, including the subway and elevated divisions and several surface lines in Manhattan stopped suddenly at SIS o'clock this morning. The trouble was caused by the power house in West 59th street going out of commission.
 Thousands of commuters oR their way to work were stalled in trains between stations.
 The subway and elevated trains re- sumed operations throughout Man hattan and the Bronx at e:46 a. m.
 Because of the small attendance of members due to the tieup, the stock exchange opened at 10 o'clock and closed immediately to reopen at 10:3O o'clock. The curb market took similar action.
 Resumption of normal service was interfered with by scores of persons walking along the subway tracks to their destinations, necessttating the running of trains at a low speed.
