TOTTENVILLE. April 19:-The
bus service rs inaugurated by the
Department Of Plants and Structures
of the City of New York n week ago
when the trainmen on the Staten
Island Rapid Transit railroad walked
Out, fell down yesterday. With but
two buses running during the day
the service was worse than nothing
at all. Shortly after $3.50 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon one of the buss-
es broke down at the ferry at the
foot of Bentley street and at that
time there had been no bus in from
New Dorp for nearly two hours. By
that time many people who wanted
10 get through the island to Manhat-
tan began to gather at the starting
point.
The last train out OF Tottenville
yesterday afternoon for st. George
was 1920 o'clock and many that had
come Town In the morning had con-
siderable trouble in getting back TO
not relieved at the local ferry until
two of the local tax drivers. julius
Cohen and Ted Herget, who each own
a bus. put them into service n re-
1ieved the situation by taking people
through the island to st. George.
Hundreds of people that came down
from Manhattan early In the day to
New Dorp. GRAM City and Midland
Beach had considerable trouble in
getting back to st. George again at
night. Buses n all kinds of motor
and horse-drawn vehicles were press
ed into service to relieve the situa-
ton. A harvest was reaped by all
In the prices paid to get back to the
st. George ferry at night.
When the buses were put into
operation a week ago the people
along Amboy road thought hat with
O. regular schedule in effect that the
situation would be relieved and that
the mode of transportation through
the island had been solved, but since
h irreguiarity OF the trips and the
long waits it is not proving what 1t
should. The service vas put here by
Commissioner Whalen, of h De-
partment Of Plants and Structures,
who came here himself last Tuesday
afternoon after a complaint of over
charging had been made, but II Is
said hat none of his department has
been here since that time and the
buses run as they please and charge
In some instances what they please.
instead Of the regular fve-cent fare
they are supposed to do.
Private automobiles had their
troubles yesterday in passing over
the island, especially where they had
seating for one or two. They were
held up at various points and In the
space for n or two soon there
would be q dozen or more who would
climb INTO the machine n the drtv-
err would be unable to proceed.

Washington.-The United States

"Winter Cholera" Causes Four Deaths
Out of Many Cases.
Kansas City, Mo.-Health officers of
communities of the Southwest, where
mysterious intestinal malady has
caused the illness of hundreds of per-
osns, apparently made little Roadway
in their efforts to identify the ailment.
At several places, however, physicians
put forward the term winter cholera"
as being the most appropriate.
Kansas City, Atchison and Pitts
burgh, Kan, were new places that re-
ported the disease. Physicians said
many persons, especially children, had
been i'll here.
At Topeka reports stated that the
number of cases is estimated at 1000.
Officials pointed to the fact that al
though so many persons had been ill,
only four deaths are said to have &C.
Cured.
