about this time that Elwell purchased
the blackjack that was found In book

The reply to Elwell's letter was as
follows;
~. B. Elwell, Esq, 7S4 Park avenue,
New York city:
"Dedr Sri beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your letter of December rs.
Your letter requires no answer other
than to say that II IN both untruthful
and impertlnent. Your suggestions as

The police refused to make this letter
public, stating that It was important as
evidence. Gentry says that 1t related TO
two of Elwelrs horses, Flags and Might

were In excellent form and that Flags
would probably be a sure winner II en-
tered in a particular race.
Flags was entered and won. and
Gentry says that when he arrived In

was informed by the detectives that they
had plunged heavily on Flags in this
and a subsequent race, cleaning UP a
nice sum Of money each time.

STATEN ISLAND LINES
LOSE FRANCHISES
Board Of Estimate Receives
Delegation Protesting
Lack of Service.

The answer or the Board OF Estimate
to several hundred residents OF Staten
Island who appeared yesterday urging
relief from intolerable transportation
conditions was to revoke ten OF the
franchises Of the Midland Railway Com
pany. The company had ceased to oper-
ate trolley cars for service on those lines
on the ground that the return at five
cent fare Is not sufficient to pay ex-
penses.
Mayor Hylan, several Of whose Staten
Island bus lines, with which his admin
istration is fighting the trolley lines.
have been shut down by injunction, ex-
pressed himself as follows upon the sub
Ject Of Increased fares:
'If It's q case Of going to Jail. I'll
go to Jail rather than vote for an in
creased fare. My main point is to settle
this at once and to act for the people
OF the city II I'm allowed my liberty In
the meanwhile. We have no control
over the receivers for the lines. They
represent the United States court and
we can't interfere with them"
. Long before the board convened the
corridors outside the chamber were
crowded with Staten Islanders, most Of
them women. who had come to protest
against lack Of travelling facilities. They
carried banners bearing such inscrip-
tions as:
Children out OF school since Janu-
ary. No trolleys"
Give us a square deal; cut the red
tape"
costs more TO reach work. No
trolleys."
Children crying for beaches. No
trolleys,"
I'VE have endured this outrage five
months. No trolleys."
When the Mayor entered the chamber
he was greeted by a loud clapping OF
hands and flashing of placards, He
was visibly angered by the demonstra'
ton, and, when he had raped for
order, said

' piers OF that class In that vicinity bring.
/ Several short piers return even less 10
the city, He said, however that when
he had been asked TO recommend the
lease to the Carroll, Hagnn & Carroll
concern he declined.
Young Mr.. Hagan was at his office
on Pier /, North River. His partners,
he said, had been engaged for years In
the stevedore business. Application for
the lease was made to the city last No
vember, he said and the circumstances
OF the incorporation OF his firm this
week In Albany was merely a coinci-
dence and was not prompted BY the pros
pect of obtaining the lease. The firm.
he explained did a general stevedore
business and found II desirable to get a
pier for the accommodation of clients.
Contradlcting the statement OF the
steamship men and Of the Dock Commits
sioner, Comptroller Craig insisted that
the annual rental OF $4,000 was as
much as commonly paid for piers OF that
class and that the lease had been recon-
mended by Mr. Hubert.
The practice adopted by the city OF
not leasing piers to stevedores was de-
prlving tramp steamships Of docking ia
cilities, the Comptroller said, because
many freighters could not afford to pay
the big fees exacted. II was with view
to providing for that trade that the East
Fourth street pier was Ieased, he ex-
planned, The purpose is to provide sharp
competition between stevedores at ad-
Joining piers
No one appeared to have figured out
definitely what profits the Hagan firm
might expect. II was estimated by
steamship men that the company could
get $3.50 to $500 day for docking priv
ilegcs, Even doing a small business, 1t
was assumed the Arm could easily aver
age $1,000 a week income from the pier,
which would give clean profit OF
$4,000 a year. or double the money
invested In the lease. 1t Is not i'm
probable that the income might reach
twice that sum. ship men said.
Showing the urgent demand for piers
here, j, ]. Mantell harbor manager for
the Erie Railroad. and Joseph Di
Giorgis. president Of the Tropical Fruit
Company. called yesterday Son Mr.. La
Guardia to urge that some arrangements
be made to provide their companies with
more facilities. The Erie company
brought here last year $4,000 carloads Of
fruit and vegetables and had three piers.
Shipments already promised are 1900
carloads more than last year. and the
Erie company has one pier less avail
able. Unless pier is found the food
stuff will have to be sent to other ports,
Mr.. Di Giorgis said that unless the ar
are made oranges will cost
twice as much next year In New York
as last winter.

mating those banners right now. Wo

ners dropped out Of sight.
The Mayor then read communica"
ton which stated that James +. Graham
OF Brooklyn, who Is a promoter OF
real estate In Staten Island, had or
ganized a body OF 500 women to appear
at the Board OF Estimate meeting and
protest against the stopping OF the MID
land trolley lines.
Immediately thereafter It. II. La
Guardla. President OF tho Board OF
Aldermen, entered the room amid an
outbreak OF applause, and the Mayor
took precautions to protect the meeting
against disorder.
"There must be order here to-day"
he said. "If any disorders occur / shall
call upon some Of the uniformed men IN
the rear Of the hall to restore quiet, Let
that be understood"
The Staten Islanders sat through the
meeting, and at the end OF the calendar
Calvin d, Van Name, their Borough
President, asked the Mayor to give them
a hearing. Various stories OF hardships
were told, and Mrs. Edward Wisely, wife
OF q practising physician Of Staten ISL
and, said that while the women or
Staten Island are reluctant to pay
higher fare they would prefer paying
eight cents to being compelled to walk
The Mayor then delivered himself OF his
views upon increased fares, and the
meeting adjourned.
The revocation Of Midland franchises
was pursuant to ninety days notice
served upon the road when II suspended
operation that unless It complied with
all requirements Of the franchises they
would be revoked The action was taken
when the road had failed to pay to the
city any part Of its gross receipts or TO
submit a sworn statement Of operation.
