NEW GROUP SYSTEM
FOR THEATRE AUTOS
SUCCESS At OPERA
'Try-Out of Commissioner
HarriS'S Plan Shows $40 Cars
Despatched in Is Minutes.

The new traffic system Of Deputy
Police Commissioner John A. Harriss
for handling after-performance con-
gestion at tho S9th and 10th Streets
exits Of the Metropolitan Opera House
worked like a charm last night.
1t took just nineteen minutes TO
dispose Of 240 cars on the 4Oth Street
side, and twenty-five minutes to dis
pose of nearly 300 on S9th Street.
Commissioner Harriss himself was
there with the usual force from
Division B, and expressed himself;
pleased with the easy working of his
new scheme.
All we have to do is to get thea
TRIGGERS to understand what we are
trying to get at, and then everything
will be easy sailing" said the Com
missioner. Everything worked out
fine tonight, and am pleased with
1t. We have saved at least twenty
minutes on both sides of the Opera
House and this is very much better
than we expected"
Commissioner Harriss's idea is called
the Group System" Every ten auto
mobiles constitute a group: they go
down the line first, second, third and
so on. The first ten cars to arrive re-
ceive the first ten tickets and are
called group one and the next is
group two and so on In the order Of
their arrival. In addition TO the
group number, each care has the
number of the car.
1t works this way: Your car is in
Group 10 and its number is 20. The
electric sign flashes 10 and all the
cars in that group move up to the
door. AS your chauffeur comes up he
hands his ticket TO the doorman, who
calls out the number and you step in.
The chief virtue of the group sys-
tenn is that it avoids long waits In
the cold. Cars will come in the or
der Of their group numbers, and il
yours is one Of the back numbers
you can wait inside until your group
comes up. 1t avoids Inconvenience
ald crowding on the platforms.
From Seventh almost to Ninth Ave-
nue,on SSth and 40th Streets, groups
are marked on the sidewalk clIrbs,
each group extending for 100 feet
just enough space for ten cars. The
number OF each group is painted on
the pavement. Cars wait in the re-
spective groups.
Last night the platforms were not
crowded, and thinly clad women sat
close 10 the radiators until Informed
their cars awaited them. Last night
the performance was over at 1I.2O
and by 1905 the doors were closed.

Congressman Volk Intends 10
Bare the Truth in Queer
Wartime Deal.
WAS 1T A HUGE TRICK?
Points Out Many Suspicious
CircumStanceS-Can Com
pany Repay Government?

Congressman Lester ID. Volk Of the
10th Brooklyn District has prepared
for The Evening World the following
statement Of his reasons for asking,
by a resolution in the House Of Rep
Iesentatives, for a Congressional In
vestigation into the whole matter Of
tile b. r. T. receivership, including
the loan made to tho b. r. T. by the
Federal Treasury, through the War
Finance Corporation, in 1918, Of
$4,000, 900.
'My interest in the $1,000, 900 loan
made in 1918 by the War Finance
Corporation to the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company Is whether or not
Che Government is ever going to get
the whole or any part Of that sum
back.
THAT Is one Of my reasons for In
Producing a resolution on the floor of
the House Of Representatives calling
for a Congressional investigation Of
The whole matter Of the B. Il. II. re-
ownership.
In the course Of my Investigations
have come across many unusual cir
Cumstances for which it seems to me
on explanation should be made and
upon which the public should be en-
lghtened.
Tn 1918 the b. r T, had maturing
s57,0O0,OOO worth Of bonds. Applica-
iion was made to the War Finance
Corporation 10 have them take up
part Of these bonds as a loan from
The United states Government.
The reasons advanced 70 Justify the
War Finance Corporation in taking
favorable action were:
First, the company had direct
end important relation to the prose-
cution of the war, since it furnished
passenger transportation between
Fort Hamilton, the army and navy
war bases in brooklyn, the Brooklyn
Navy Yard and many munition plants
and docks along the Brooklyn water
front. Its lines were an important
factor in the transportation systems
serving New York City. and New
York City was one OF the principal
ports for the embarkation of troops
and the shipment Of munitions Of war
10 France.
Second, in the judgment of the
Secretary of the Treasury and other
Treasury officials who were consulted
and in the judgment f'the Board of
Directors of the War Finance Corpor-
alton, default in so large a matur-
ity as that represented by the ma
turing b.. r. T. siX-year notes would
in all probability have unsettled the
investment market and handicapped
the flotation OF the next Liberty
Loan.
