Whalen Insists on
Queensboro Bridge
Cars Being Run
Commissioners Files Protest
Against Company's Plan
to Dispense With Service;
Too Costly, Says Official

Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of
Plants and Structures, said yesterday
he had filed notice Of protest with Cor
poration Counsel Burr opposing the
plan of the New York & Qeens
County Railway Company to abandon
its service of cars across the Queens
boro Bridge from Long Island City to
flfty-ninth Street. His position in the
matter, Mr.. Whalen asserted, finally
would come before the Board of Esti-
mate, which has received formal notice
of the intention of the company. The
contract of the company with the city
relative to operation on the Queens
boro Bridge expires on December 81 of
this year.
In letter to Borough President
Connolly of Queens President William
o. Wood, of the railway company, said:
Our company did not want to oper-
ate over this bridge in the first place.
Bridge operation is very expensive, and
1t was only at the solicitation of busi-
ness men of Queens, members of the
Board of Estimate and officials of
Queens that we finally decided to go
across the bridge. This operation cost
us $4,000 year in payment to the
city. Many changes in conditions have
arisen since we started operation.
The Pennsylvania tunnels have been
opened, the Greensboro subway has
been put into operation. The Second
Avenue elevated trains run across the
bridge and shortly the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company will have q station
at the plaza. In the present financial
condition and at the present rate of
fare we cannot afford to continue to
pay the high price of operation over
the bridge"
The company is subsidiary of the
lnterborough, and operates ali surface
trolley car lines on the north side
OF Queens from Long Island City to
Flushing. From May II to June 7 of
this year, according to figures of the
Public Service Commission, the COM
pany carried 1,929,352 cash passengers,
half of whom crossed the bridge.
Secretary Walker, of the Public Ser
vice Commission, said yesterday that
for the present the commission would
take no action. Commissioner Whalen
said it was understood that the Man
haitian and South Shore Traction Com
pany and the Third Avenue Railway
Company contemplated similar action,
but that thus far notice had only come
from the New York and Queens County
Railway Company.

Mccall Thinks League
Holds Dancer Threot

ROCHESTER,, June 18.-A class of
ffty-three women and twenty-five men
was graduated at the sixty-ninth COM
mencement exercises of the University
of Rochester this morning. Former
Governor Samuel W. Mccall, of Massa-
chusetts, delivered the commencement
address.
Mr.. Mccall said that the foremost
problem in the world to-day had to do
with lessening the liability to war and
that the public opinion of the world
would support a we'll contrived project
to prevent wars. He continued:
"Whatever the virtues of the league,
of which the outlines have been drawn,
it will begin it's operations under a
heavy handicap, because of the general
character of the peace that has been
framed The unifying influences of
modern times have developed larger in
ternational units. When Europe was
covered over with a multitude of little
states following the disruption of the
Roman Empire, war was almost the con-
stant occupation of mankind. Those
little nations were gradually welded to-
gether and as they became less numer-
Gus there were fewer wars. But the
treaty takes long step backward tow
ard the older order"

Give a Thought---
To First Avenue

FIRST AVENUE, especially above
Fiftieth Street, is becoming a
strong rival of Fifth Avenue in the
volume of its automobile traffic.
Heavily laden motor trucks, light cleo
trio delivery wagons and large touring
cars speed down the steep hills Of the
cobble stone pavement at reckless
rate and automobile accidents are be-
coming more and more frequent.
Dwellers on First Avenue are becoming
alarmed and point to the lack Of proper
traffic regulation as one Of the chief
causes of the increase in accidents.
"The avenue" a resident said, sis q
direct road to the Willis Avenue bridge,
which connects Manhattan and The
Bronx, and also to the Greensboro
Bridge. The avenue is thickly popu-
lated and when the driver of motor
truck is speeding along at the top of
one Of the steep inclines, it is difficult
for him to see people at the bottom.
A few policemen, placed at important
street crossings, would regulate the
speed of passing automobiles and cut
down the number Of accidents"

great ship with single lucky shot.
Scores of rapid destroyers will launch
torpedoes that have range of over

liar torpedoes. Other planes will drop
bombs Of great size, weighing 5000
pounds, and still others will control by
wireless super-torpedoes carrying an
explosive charge of over one ton. Fleet
submarines may be present in great
numbers, and many automatic mines
may be laid in front of fleets"
Admiral Sims then declared that the
war had shown that the commissioned
personnel Of the various navies were
not we'll trained in the principles of
warfare, and for that reason enlarged
war colleges were an imperative need.
Thomas w. Farnan, of New Haven,
was elected fellow Of the corporation

Governor Burnquist has promised to
call an extra session if thirty-five other
Governors will also act.
BOSTON, Mass, June 18-The COM
mittee on Federal Relations of the Leg
islature voted to l to-day in favor
of immediate ratification of the woman
suffrage amendment. This action was
taken after Governor Coolidge had let
it be known that he would veto the
measure which he was informed the
committee originally proposed to re-
port. This measure would have pro-
vided for a referendum by all the peo-
pie of the state, women as we'll as men.

day wired to Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the National Ameri-

and pages necessary for the special

not be under great financial burden for
