S STATEN ISLAND CAR LINES
CLOSED DESPITE INJUNCTION;
CITY TO RUN so BUSES TODAY
Process Servers Fail to Reach Officers of Midland Company
but Delay Suspension by Handing Papers to Supernten
dent-FranchSes To Be Forfeited and Receiver Sought

Operation OF the five trolley lines of
the Staten Island Midland Railroad Com
pany was suspended at twenty minutes
after one o'clock this morning after a
futile attempt on the part OF process
servers TO serve the officers of that COM
pany with temporary injunction, which
would have compelled them TO operate
their cars until the matter was decided
in court
The injunction was issued Saturday
night by Justice Faber and was made re-
turnable tomorrow morning. The officers
had given notice previously that the cars
would stop running at midnight
After the process servers had failed to
reach other officials, the papers were
served up on Harry j. Blackman, superin-
tendent of the company. He communicated
with George Gallagher. chief dispatcher.
and learned that the trolleys were being
tied up in their barns as they finished their
runs.
In order to protect himself from court
proceedings, Mr.. Blackman said that ne
would take the responsibility OF running
when he finished his work for the day
Accordingly. he gave orders to this effect
csrs which had been tied up In the barns
were then taken out and the regular runs
resumed Meanwhile, Mr.. BlackaIn com
municated with II. l.. Rand, vice president
and general manager OF the company, VINO
i'm turn got in touch with his counsel lne
la wyers informed Mr.. Rand that the ser
vice of Mr.. Blackam was illegal, inasmuch
..Ft h.a "a N
Mr.. Rand. therefore, directed Mr.. Blackam
NOT 10 obey the terms OF the Injunction,
and to stop the operat tion of cars at once.
Mr. Rlackam then went to st. George,
and AS the cars came in he directed ehe
motormen to take them into the barns and
leave them.
More than fifteen thousand commuters
who used the cars daily in getting 10 ana
from their work are affected by the sus-
pension of operation. The cars served the
interior OF Staten Island. and many of
them reached otherwise inaccessible
places.
At two o'clock this morning fifteen city
buses had arrived in st. George from Man
haitian and fifteen more were expected by
six o'clock. 1t was said that the buses
QUITE will parallel the car tracks and that
a policeman will ride on each bus to guide
the chauffeurs. all OF whom are unac-
quaintod with the territory which they are
to cover.
Two process servers stood in front Of the
home OF Mr.. Rand, at No. 103 Central ave-
nue., st. George, S. l., all day and last
night in an effort to serve the injunction
papers on him During the day they were
informed that Mr.. Rand was in New Jer-
sey. In the evening, however, IL developed
that Mr.. Rand had been in his home all
day. but he was inaccessible TO the law
officers. No effort was made. it is said,

Assemblynan Warren I. Lee, OF the
Eighteenth Assembly District, Brooklyn.
announced yesterday that he would intro
duce a bill in the Assembly tonight pro-
viding for legislative commission to be
composed Of legislators and citizens TO
undertake a Statewide inquiry into the
traction situation. Assem- blyman Lee de-
clared that, IN his opinion, legislation was
necessary for any solution of the traction
problem in the cities Of the state and that
the Legislature should have the benefit
OF fun and accurate information to enable
1t to act wisely.
In announcing his decision to introduce
the bill Mr.. Lee said
The traction situation Is acute not only
in New York city but in upstate cities.
At the last session several measures pur-
porting to be for the relief of the situation
we're introduced. These included the Car
son-Martin bill. giving the Public Service
Commission authority to readtrst rates
based on existing franchises, and the Fow-
Ter bill, providing for municipal owner
ship of public utilities. / believe that be-
fore the Legislature acts on these or any
similar proposals II ought to have fuller
information as TO the necessity for such
legislation and the adequacy or practic-
ability of the measures proposed.
I'm many cities fares have already been
increased. There is a public demand in
many quarters that the facts on which
these increases were allowed shall be jus-
titled. In other cases. az in New York city.
there is demand on the part OF the trac-
tion interests that the fares be increased.
This also is a matter on which more in
formation Is needed. In any event the
ought not TO act until IL has
all the facts.
The situation in New York city Is the
most serious. Efforts which for various
reasons aro necessarily ineffective an,
being made TO ascertain the facts which
the public has hitherto not been able TO
obtain. Any constructive idea which any
or the receivers OF the various car lines
may have had they have been able skill
fully to dssemble. The Citizens Traction
Committee. organized by the Chamber of
Commerce; the Merchants Association and
other organizations are undertaking with
the help and advice of Mr.. Hughes and
a corps OF experts 2 careful Investigation
Of the situation. But these efforts are
necessarily limited by lack Of authority TO

THAT all depends on what your
opinion of how he was treated and
how prisoners should be treated is
responded Waters evasively.
Mayor Waters was interviewed rel
tive to his intentions in keeping or
removing Chief Jack Martin because
OF a movement on foot during the
past two days, to make a thorough
Investigation of the affairs of the

those of the chief.
On Tuesday evening group of gen.

the members of the city council, not
including the mayor and the affair
which occurred in the police station
on Christmas eve, together with other
rumors regarding the department,
were discussed.
Councilmen Reach Decision.
At that time members of the city
council reached decision 20 make a
thorough investigation of the matter.
Yesterday, it is reported, the council
decided to give Mayor Waters lone
chance" and called a meeting with
him, to lay the facts before him, and
ask that he assist in the investigation.
to the end that the facts be brought
out, and if me rumors were untrue the
chief be exonerated. AS regards the
treatment of the boy in question,
Chief Martin admitted TO The Free
Press last Friday that he 'manhandl-
ed" him.
1t has been reported that the mayor
made the same declaration then. as
he made to The Free Press today, and
left the meeting. The council. it is
understood then proceeded with an
Investigation of their own. 1t is said
that witnesses were called and evil
dence taken both yesterday afternoon
and last evening. 1t is understood
that the members of the council have
