Hundreds of persons climbed and

yesterday afternoon when fire partly
destroyed the Eighteenth Street sta.
ton and three cars on the Third Ave

suited from the dropping to the third

lowed and shower of sparks alighted
on the tops of the cars below.
Men, women and children kicked
out window panes and doors and
crawled through them to the station
platform and to footpath that runs
alongside the track to the east. In
the effort to reach doors and windows
several persons were slightly injured
by glass and by being thrown against
seats.

Staten Island
Lines toFight
City Seizure
Midland Company Official
Says Supreme Court Must
First Pass on Forfeiture
of Franchise Privileges
No Papers Filed as Yet
Whalen Plan of Operation
Delayed When Cars Pur-
chased Prove Unavailable

A fight over Commissioner of Plant
and Structures Whalen's plan to sum.
marily seize the Midland Railroad lines
IN Staten Island and operate city-owned
trolley cars over them loomed yester.
day.
A high official Of the Midland Com
pany asserted the city would first have
to go into the Supreme Court to gain
forfeiture Of the franchise and that the
company would contest giving up it's
tracks and other property without fair
compensation.
The prospect that the issue would be
drawn this morning, the date originally
set by Whalen for beginning municipal
operation, was dissipated last night
when it was made known that the cars
purchased from the Emergency Fleet
corporation are of wider guage than
the Midland tracks. and that they can
not be reconstructed in less than two
weeks. Three of the twenty cars
reached the Baltimore l. Ohio freight
yards in st. George yesterday.
NO papers in any action to have the
Midland franchise forfeited had been
served on officials of the company w
to last night. The legal department. of
the company was ready to apply for
an injunction in the event Commis-
sioner Whalen undertook to take pos
session this morning
1t was made plain, however, that an
agreement between the company and
the city was not altogether out of the
question and that the bondholders and
stockholders of the company might not
oppose forfeiture Of the franchise if
the city was willing to purchase the
physical prope rites of the lines.
Jacob Brenner, Federal receiver OF
the company, said he had "invited the
city to take over and operate the lines
for the benefit OF the people of Staten
Island" and that, ne would cooperate
With thc city officials in the matter
He also said he would be willing to
supervise the operation of any cars
that city officials might use on the
lines.
The city yesterday began the opera
tion of buses between st. George and
Fox Hills. The city buses will charge
cniy cents. but private companies
operating over the same route will con-
tinue to charge Is cents. Officials of
these companies asserted last night
that they had an agreement with gov
ernment heads at the Fox Hills Base
Hospital to carry passengers at this

Fixed Prices on Coal
Illegal, Asserts Taft

CINCINNATI, March 14.--Confisca-
tion Of coal by the railroad adminis-
traton and the fixing Of prices at
which coal may be sold by the gov
crnment is held to be illegal in an
opinion rendered to the Smokeless
Goa! Operators Association through A.
julius Freberg, of this city, their
attorney, by Former President William
Howard Taft.
For some time past the coal operators
of West Virginia have rebelled against
the indiscrmnate seizng of coal by
railroads and the regional boards. Pro-
tests have been sent to Washington by
operators and coal dealers from the
Middle West.
AS to the question of government
fixed prices, Mr.. Taft says: "In the
absence of any finding Of the Presi-
dent that these orders restoring old
orders are necessary for the efficient
prosecution of the war, l cannot see
how authority to fix prices can continue
so as to prevent coal operators from
making contracts after April /, in ac-
cordance with their usual custom at
prices mutually satisfactory to the par
ties and without regard to the prices
fixed in the order of October 80, 1919"
In regard to the right of the rail-
road administration to divert coal or
diversion, Mr.. Taft declares that the
first answer holds. Further, he de-
clares that even the first order restor-
ing the government price on coal had
no relation to the prosecution of the
war
