; CHILDREN TRAPPED
IN BURNING BEDROOM,
RESCUED BY F|REMEN
STATEN ISLAND
FARE BOOSTED
20 Per Cent. Increase in Ef-
feet This Morning, Much to
Surprise of Patrons.

Hundreds of passengers were as
tonished this morning when they
went to purchase at the various
stations along the three divisions of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Railroad. to find they had to pay
twenty per cent, more for their
ticket than they did yesterday.
This was all done following a de-
cision of the appellate division of the
supreme court, late yesterday after
noon vacating an injunction Of Su-
preme Court Justice Benedict. re-
straining the Staten Island Rapid
Transit and the Long Island Rail-
road. pending trial from making
twenty per cent. increase in rate
for certain classes of passengers
and transportation of milk and
cream and excess baggage. The in
crease was ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in Novem-
ber. Immediately after Justice
jerks had announced the decision
at the close of the argument, the
various agents of the Staten Island
road were ordered to put the raise
into effect at 1901 a. m. this morn
ing.
The new raise affects all fares
between stations on the Tottenville
division between Tottenville and 81
George and those on the north and
east shore lines with the exception
school tickets. On the north and
east shore lines the fare is advanc-
ed from six to eight cents.
On the Tottenville division the
new raise in effect raises the round
trip ticket between Tottenville and
st. George from fifty nine to sew
enty one cents. making the trip to
Manhattan, New York city. eighty
one cents for the round trip. The
intermediate stations are graduated
the same, beginning with the rate
from Tottenville to Richmond VAL
ley and Pleasant Plains, from six to
eight cents: Prince Bay. ten TO
twelve cents; Huguenot. from elev-
en- TO fourteen cents; Annadale from
fifteen TO eighteen cents; Eltingville.
sixteen TO twenty cents: Great Kills
twenty to twenty-four; lockwood.
twenty-four 10 twenty nine: New
Dorp. twenty six TO thirty two. and
Grasmare, thirty three to forty three
cents.
Hearings have been held during
the past week before the Public Ser
vice Commission and much testi-
mony was taken in the matter. AL
fred VI. Barrett. Public Service
Commissioner, whose counsel to-
gether with the attorney general.
obtained the injunction now vacat-
ed. have made known that the case
would be carried to the court Of ap
peals at Albany.
In rendering the decision the ap-
pelate division granted permission
for an appeal. but did not grant
stay which would prevent the roads
from putting the increase into effect.
The appellate division simply held
that the supreme court. which
granted the injunction had no juris-
diction and did not go into the mer-
its of the case. Mr.. Barrett has
announced that the fight will be car
ried to the United States supreme
court as early as possible. Some
time ago the Staten Island Rapid
Transit raised the rates from this
city on the twenty per cent bases
on the authorization of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

They DON'T LIKEIT
East Sixth Avenue Merchants
Tired of ssParkers."
Overflow From Kansas Avenue
Hurts Business.

The immediate effect of any ordi-
nance passed by the city commission
ers can not always be foretold prior
to it's actual try-out.
East Sixth avenue merchants are
beginning to feel that the parking
space in front of their stores is being
used only to accommodate the over
flow of motor cars forced off Kansas
avenue by the one hour limit parking
law Adjacent to the most central
part of the city and the busiest sec
ton of the down town district. it has
been found that owners of cars who
ordinarily parked on Kansas avenue
have developed the habit of dropping
in on. East Sixth street early in the
morning and depositing their Hoop
ies.s and Packards for the day.
The East Sixth merchants feel that
their complaint is absolutely justified.
''If it is justice that Kansas avenue
merchants be protected from persons
inclined to make the street a parking
garage, there is an equal amount of
justice in that East Sixth avenue n1er-
chants be afforded the same protec-
ton for the convenience of their
trade" one man said today.
At first glance it would appear that
the overflow of motor, cars from Kan
sas avenue would bring new trade.
However, it does not work out that
way. The chief reason is that in
ninety cases out of a hundred the
parizers are ariota buyers. From the
same standpoint they were not active
customers on Kansas avenue. Their
extent of trading is limited mostly to
seeking and obtaining parking space
in which to leave theiracars while they
go about their business pursuits of the
day, II
East Sixth avenue has always had
the name of being an active family
trading center. Trade was drawn from
the city of Topeka and rural districts
to the east of Topeka :. was the
sort of trade that came when it was
in the market for certain commodities,
= parked for a time with motor cars and
horses and buggies, and moved out
when business transactions were COM
pleted. They never could be accused
of being parking hogs because they
did not operate in that way. 1t causes
them a good deal of inconvenience
now to come in to their favorite trad
ing center and find the street lined
with vehicles that show, evidence OF
remaining for the day.
Just as the effort was made to
evacuate parking hogs from Kansas
avenue, now East Sixth avenue mer-
IS chants are anxious to move the over
flow of unnecessary motors from in
front of their stores. Quincy street is
the nearest point available. There is
an abundance Of parking space on this
street, part of which would take care
of a large number of homeless motor
cars.
