Beginning December L:
New Equipment Needed

Staten Islands defunct transit lines
are to be taken over by the city and
operation on fve-cent fare basis un-
der municipal regulation is to begin on

This was agreed to yesterday at g
conference between representatives of
the city and the defunct railroad before
Federal Judge Thomas l. Chatheld, Of
Brooklyn.
A group of Staten Island residents
who attended the conference urged that
the city begin operation of the lines at
once, but Grover A. Whalcn, Commits
sioner of Plants and Structures, said
this would be impossible. he pointed
out that the company has only few
cars, that these are not in good condi-
ton, and that it would be necessary for
the city to purchase new equipment be-
fore the municipal operation could be-
gin.
The Commissioner said that he had
been assured that the new cars would

~ Farmer Browns boy knows all about
Bees and how to handle them. He is
not IN the least afraid of them. You
see he has kept Bees in hives in his
dooryard for a long time. He knows
that IN each hive is queen and that
as long as she remains there the mem
bers OF that particular swarm will be
happy and contented. He knows that
Wnere the queen goes the others will
follow. He also knows that to rob
swarm of al their honey late in the
laIi' when 1T is too late for them to
make more honey. means the death of
all that swarm.
Now, Farmer Browns boy wanted the
money IN that Bee-trec he had found.
At the same time he wanted to save
those Bees. He felt that they BELONGED
to him, anyway. They were runaways.
or perhaps, should say fyawavs,
from one of his hives. He knew that
II he didn't ges them and the honey
Buster Bear would. At least Buster
would get all the honey and the Bees
those he did not kill, would starve to
death because there was not time for
them to find new home and store up
enough honey to take them through the
winter.
80 just at sun-up the next morning
faImer Browns boy was back at that
tree IN the Green Forest where the
Bees were. 1t was so early in the
morning that the air was cold and this
meant that the Bees would not yet be
out and would be rather stupid and
sluggish. Had that tree been dead he
would have chopped it down. But il
wasn't dead. 1t simply had that one
dead place IN 1t where the hollow was.
and SO he didn't want to cut il down
Covering his head, hat and all he
wore veil which was tucked down
nside his coat This was to protect
ms face and neck from those Bees
On his hands he wore long gloves. His
trousers were tied tightly about his
ankles so that no Bee could possibly
get up there. He had brought with
him special box in which were some
little frames Of comb partly filed with
honey. This he placed on a stumn
near at hand
Then Farmer Browns boy climbed
the tree, taking with him big pail
and queer little contrivance made
especially for blowing smoke into
nive. 1t was an easy tree TO climb.
and he was soon up to the place where
the day before Buster Bear had torn
out strip from the side of the hollow
This had let in the cold night air and
the Bees were more than usually stunid
as result. But to make them still
more so Farmer Browns boy blew into
The hollow a lot Of smoke, not enough

Miss Casrcras. Mr.. Van Doran reported
that this letter was forged for the pur-
pose of this case He said it was
written on the typewriter in an office
of the Community Motion Picture Bu-
reau, where Mrs. Miller was employed.
The referee said he also discredited
the testimony of Mrs. Miller regarding
the letter
Mr.. Van Doren's conclusion was that
Mr.. Arocena and Miss Carreras were
not married, but were merely living
under a cloak of marriage to conceal
their relationship.
The report of the referee will now
go before Surrogate Cohalan for ju-
dicial approval
