STATEN ISLAND RIDES IN BUSES
WHILE COURT DELAYS ACTION
City May Not Press Contempt Proceedings Against Midland
Company Officials-i5,ooo Commuters Use New
Mode of Transportation and Like 1t.

Whalen before leaving Staten Island last
night. "They are popular. regardless of
the fact that they were established under
bad conditions. with snow and ice on the
streets. The buses are the only means OF
improving the situation in neglected areas.
Regardless of the abandonment or con-
tinuance of the trolley cars by the COM
pany, the buses will be operated on Staten
Island"
Developments yesterday did not point
to resumption of service by the Mid
land company in the near future. Jacob
Brenner. Commissioner of Jurors OF
Kings, who was appointed receiver for
the company by Justice Chatfield, of the
Supreme Court, on application of the
Westinghouse Company. in which the
Midland company joined passed some
time at the company's offices on Staten
Island yesterday and formally took
charge of the property. He said that he
wanted more time to fanrliarize himself
with conditions before taking any ac-
ton. and that his first concern was to
render report of the financial copdtior
OF the company on February Il. as di-
rected by Justice Chatfield. That was
taken to mean that as far as the com
pany was concerned no attempt would
be made to resume operation AT least
prior to that time
City May Not Push Case.
While representatives of the Corpora
tion Counsels office declared yesterday
when the citys case was called before
Justice Cropsey, that tho city was ready
to push the contempt proceeding. 1t is
not believed it will do so, in view of the
satisfactory bus service.
The two new bus routes established
yesterday were from Westerlegh to ST
George and from Castleton Corners to
the st. George Ferry. IT was estimated
that 5000 commueers used the bus lines
yesterday. many OF whom the day before
had resorted to the trains of the Rich
mond Light and Railroad Company. walk
ing long distances to and from the sta
tions and their homes.
Some complaint on the part of the
municipal jtney drivers was heard yes
terday to the effect that the five cent
fare on the longer hauls was not return
ing them sufficient profit. Commissioner
Whalen said. however. that the five cent
fare would be maintained on all the bus
lines.

Seized as Thief in
Archbishop's House

Nathan Simon, twenty-five years old,
he lived in Jersey City, was held yester-
day in $4,000 bail by Magistrate Nolan. in
Yorkville Court, on charges alleging
grand larceny. Twenty-four persons,
many of whom represented war relief and
charity organizations, identified Simon as
supposed repairman for typewriter
company, who called at their offices and
removed typewriters which never were re-
turned.
Simon was arrested Monday afternoon
in the home of Archbishop Patrick j.
Hayes, Madison avenue and Fiftieth
street, by Detectives John Hauser and
Charles Hooker, of the East Fifty-first
street station. He had called there to
repair a typewriter. The Rev. Father
Joseph p. Dineen. secretary to the Arch
bishop. noticed that Simon followed closely
the descriptions given in circular sent
out by the Underwood rypewriting Com
pany warning against the operations OF
the impostor and he notified the police.
According to the detectives Simons OPP
erations run over several months. When
he entered an office. they said. he would
look at the typewriter and declare he
would have to remove the machine to
make the necessary repairs. a receipt
would be given to the owner OF the type
writer. the detectives allege. which proved
worthless when it later was shown TO Of
ficers of the Underwood company.
Among the organizations that were vic
timized are the Fatherless Children Of
France, No. 665 Fifth avenue, and the
American Committee for Devastated
France, No. 16 East Thirty-ninth street.

Failure of the Corporation Counsers Of
flee to prepare papers in advance for a
contempt proceeding against officials of
the Midland Railway Company, of Staten
Island, who discontinued trolley service
despite a court order restraining them
from taking such action, led Justice Crop
sey, in Brooklyn yesterday, to adjourn
that matter as well as the application of
the city for receiver for the company,
and other actions pending between the
city and the company, until tomorrow.
Meanwhile the residents Of Staten Island
continued to use the municipal bus lines
established by Commissioner Grover A.
Whalen, of the Department of Plant and
Structures, and seemed to enjoy the
change. Two new bus lines were estab-
lished yesterday, making seven in all now
in operation, and fifty-five buses were
making trips last night General satis-
faction was expressed by commuters with
the bus service, and many residents were
anxious to have it made permanent. They
declared the buses made the trips from
eight to twelve minutes faster than the
trolley cars.
Gets Entrance to Very.
Commissioner Whalen passed the entire
day on Staten Island attending to the OPP
Grafton of the buses and experimenting
the completion of the planking over of the
400 foot viaduct leading from Stuyvesant
place to the upper floor of the ferry house
at the st. George terminal. The viaduct
previously had been used solely by the
Midland cars. 1t supported eight trolley
tracks side by side. The space of four
tracks was opened last night for the
buses. permitting them to unload their
passengers directly at the passenger en-
trance to the ferry house. Commissioners
Whalen notified the Richmond Light and
Railroad Company. which operates other
surface lines on the island, that it could
use the other four tracks. The viaduct
will also be opened this morning to private
automobiles and taxicabs.
Commissioner Whalen declared last
night that the bus lines on Staten Island
had come to stay, whether or not the Mid
land company surface lines ever resumed
operation.
Buses are here to stay" said Mr..
