Mouing Platform,
Suggested to Join
THO Transfer Points

Plans for establishment Of system
of moving platforms in place of the
present shuttle operation under Forty
second Street, between the East and
West Side subway lines, have been
fled with the Public Safety Commits
sion by NJ Everhart Smith, president
OF the Continuous Transit Securities
Company.
NJ. Smiths plan would entail an
estimated expenditure of 81 100000,
dependent upon the price Of materials.
HIS scheme is to equip the former two
local tracks Of the subway in Forty
second Street, between Pershing Square
and Times Square, with treble speed
moving platforms connected by a loop
at each end. The speed Of the fastest
platform is to be nine miles and its
seating capacity 31,69O passengers an
hour. intermediate stations at the in
tersections Of Madison, Fifth and Sixth
Avenues are suggested.
Our proposition isl Mr.. Smith saws
III letter to the commission, chat the
city shall make the constructive
changes, if any, to permit the proposed
installation, and that this company will
thereupon, at its own expense, manu-
facture and install the equipment
under the Rapid Transit law, and op-
crate the same under an agreement
which will insure a fair return on the
veStment"

Influenza Cases Show
Sharp Increase Here

A marked increase in influenza cases
has been felt in New York according
to Health Commissioner Copeland, who
since the epidemic in November was
almost snutfed out has been reluctant
to recognize the possibility of recur-
renee. DR.. Copelands official bulletin
on the subject yesterday said:
The number reported Saturday was
$40. This represents one case for
every 10000 of population. This is a
far cry from anything like a renewal
of the epidemic, when for weeks the
number ran above 1000 daily and on
October % reached 5,400
"Before this season influenza was
not a reportable disease and it is quite
probable that we always have in this
season an equal number of cases. Let
citizens renew their determination to
observe the precautionary rules that
were ordered during the last epidemic"
DR.. Copeland has drawn up golden
rule" for New Workers. 1t is:
protect others by observing the
health rules just as you would have
others protect you"
Above all he urges every one to keep
himself fit by avoiding overwork and
overeating, worry, fatigue, lack Of
sleep and unventilated rooms in the
home, shop, factory or place of. amuse-
ment.

meeting r. and it was voted regardless
of any prospective help from the city
under any of the plans which were
pending to compensate the company
for its losses due to increased cost
caused by the war, that they would
furnish, or see in some way that the
money through their own resources
would be FURNISHED, to finish this job
at its top notch speed, it being their
conviction, after examining the reports
and looking into the matter from that
point of view. that the only way to
finish this job with any reasonable
expectation on their part of lessening
the loss to them at the finish, would
be by running it at full force, which,
of course, l think is plan that is
above criticism. And that, I am in
structed to say, is being and will be
DONE
Commissioner Whitney contends that
the record shows that the Interconti-
mental Company at that time December
10, apparently had determined to prose
cute its contract without delay, even at
a prospective loss. 1t was on this very
date, according to Commissioner Whit
ney's statement, that the Controller
wrote the Intercontinental that he had
adjusted their claim at 1928 900, which,
in the judgment Of the commission is
100000 too much.

Motion to Be Opposed
After being served with the order
yesterday, District Attorney Lewis
declared he would oppose the motion
on the ground that out of county of
100000 inhabitants there should be
no difficulty in obtaining twelve men
who would give the indicted officials an
impartial and fair verdict. Lewis said
that he had had everything arranged
to start the case tomorrow by placing
at least one of the defendants on trial.
Stephen c. Baldwin, counsel for John
j. Dempsey, vice-p president of the com
pany said he did not believe the Dis
trict Attorney had any intention of
starting the trial tomorrow, because he
did not believe he would be ready by
that time. He said that all proceedings
in the case would be suspended until
the question of venue had been decided.
The order is based on $4,000 word
petition and affidavit made by Colonel
Williams, to show by editorials, news
clippings and statements that there IS
undue prejudice against the defendants
j
Patrons Cards Not Used
None of the cards recently dis
tributed to the B. r. t. patrons, ask
ing their opinion of the Indictment Of
the officials, was used in the petition,
although it had been believed their
purpose was to obtain a change OF
venue. Concerning them, Colonel Will
Jams said in his ailidavt:
Immediately public officials and the
press assumed that the distribution of
the cards was for the purpose of OBJ
tanning material for use upon motion
for a change of place Of trial and they
burst forth in storm of warning,
protest and abuse"
Colonel Williams said the Brighton
wreck added fuel to the fame of hatred
in Brooklyn against the company Off
Gals, and quoted sermons and reports
Of meetings of victims and their rela-
tives to demonstrate the alleged feel
ing.
The route over which Colonel Will
Jams piloted the receiver began with
the Fourth Avenue subway, at Flat
bush Avenue, and continued to Thirty
ninth Street where Mr.. Garrison made
a survey of repair and maintenance
work. The party then took local
train to Coney Island, where new
terminal construction work is under
way. Mr.. Garrison said he would en-
deavor to have this work finished in
time to handle next summers crowds.
Back on the Brighton line to Frank
lin Avenue the officials travelled,
changing to an East New York train.
After a stop for lunch, they returned
by way of Myrtle Avenue, connected
with the Canal Street loop and jour
neyed under the river to Manhattan.
then by Broadway line to Forty-second
Street.

A Straplnanger
Receiver So Far Finds Moth
ing to Warrant Immediate

System's Condition Good
''Much Cratified at Progress
of Construction Under
Unfavorable Conditions''

After a six-hour inspection tour of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system
yesterday, Lindley NJ. Garrison, tenn
porary receiver of the company, said
last night he had found nothing in his
trip to warrant immediate change or
Improvement For part of the journey
Mr.. Garrison had to be content with a
strap, rush hour crowds having pre-
empted all seats.
This was the initial view of the
5. r. I. lines for the former Secretary
of War, and he covered all the rapid
transit roads from Coney Island to
Times Square. He was accompanied
by Colonel Timothy S. Williams, presi-
dent of the line; ". S. Menden, chief
engineer, and Carl NJ. Owen, a legal
associate, the party being equipped
with numerous maps and diagrams.
II found the system in very good
condition indeed" said Mr.. Garrison
at his home last night at was purely
an inspection of the physical property,
and at no point in my trip did I find
matters in such a state as to require
immediate remedy or Improvement
Construction Progresses
II was impressed by the magnitude
of the system and was much gratifed
at the progress of construction work
under present unfavorable conditions.
Of course, did not see all that should
be seen, and Will make second tour,
probably next week"
While Colonel Williams and Mr.. Men
den, two of the six B. R. T. officials and
employees indicted on charges of man
slaughter in connection with the
Brighton wreck, were inspecting the
lines with Mr.. Garrison their attorneys
took the first step to obtain a change of
venue. The trial was to have started
tomorrow.
An order was filed in the County
Clerks Office in Brooklyn directing
Harry E. Lewis, District Attorney of
Kings County, to show cause why such
q change should not be granted. The
order was signed by Chief Justice

Navy in Need of More Men;
Good Chance for Promotion

The navy needs more men. Lieuten-
ant Commander D. P. Wickersham, in
charge of the recruiting station at "a
East Twenty-third Street, yesterday
said the release of large numbers of
reservists would leave the service short
of sufficient men to man new ships.
Commander Wickersham said the
chief need was for apprentice seamen,
firemen and machinists. He called at

Secretary of the Navy selects from the
personnel with one year of service 100
seamen under twenty years of age for
appointment to the Naval Academy.
