Black Pussy had waited patiently
for very long time in the hot sun,
waited without moving save for the
tip of her tail, close to the little round
hole in the middle of the path on
one side of the Old Orchard. She
had felt sure that if only she were
patient enough and waited long
enough Striped Chipmunk would
come out of that little round hole.
Now the patience in Black Pussy's
yellow eyes gave place to q look of
eager ferceness, the tip Of her tail
twitched more than ever, the sharp
claws of her front paws came o4t Of
sudden spring. Her ears had caught
just the faintest of sounds, but she
knew what they meant. They meant
that Striped Chipmunk was running
along his little hall under ground
and in just second or two he
would pop out of that little round
hole.
Now, Striped Chipmunk seldom is
needless. + He knows that Needless
ness is tie cause of much trouble
and not infrequently costs some one
his life. SO Striped Chipmunk has
always made it a point to look be-
fore he leaps. But this particular
time he forgot. Or if he didn't for
gethe was in too much of hurry to
be careful, which was quite as bad.
Anyway, instead of poking just his
nose and eyes out for look all
around to see that all was safe, as is
his rule, he scrambled up to that little
round doorway and popped out.
Several things happened just then,
but the most important thingSyas the
falling of a certain little apple from
certain branch high above the
path. Weakened by little worm
in its heart, it chose just that instant,
that particular instant, to let go its
hold on the branch and drop. Down
it fell straight and true and landed
where do you think? Right smack
on the head of Black Pussy just as
she started to spring on Striped
Cnipmunk. Yes, sir, that is just
what happened!
Thumpi That certain little apple,
wherein lived certain little worm,
landed on the head of Black Pussy
just as she started to spring For
just second she lost sight of Striped
Chipmunk and instead it seemed to
her as if she saw ever so many
little stars And, of course, she
missed that spring. When she could
see clearly again Striped Chipmunk

Inquiry Begun
By 4. S. C.. Into
Gas Standard
Supply Furnished by Conn
panies in City and Sab
urbs Will Be Tested
for Purity and Powe
Unit Strength Is Assailed
Brooklyn and Bronx Con.
Germs Continue Fl ght
for Increase in Rates

With the Kings County Lighting
Company as a basis, The Public Service
Commission yesterday began general
inquiry into the standards of purity
and Illuminating and heating power of
gas supplied to consumers by COM
panies in New York City and suburban
territory. Most of the concerns, it is
said, furnish Gas Of the British thermal
unit standard instead of the 22-candle-
power standard prescribed by law, con-
tending that the former standard is
more practical in view of The fact that
81 per cent of the gas is used for heat
ing purposes.
The hearing involving the Kings
County Lighting Company, which sup
PLIES 10000 consumers in Bay Ridge,
Oath Beach and Borough Park, Brook
1yn, followed an order to show cause
why the company failed to serve it's
customers with the type of gas set by
law. In a general answer Samuel F.
Moran, counsel for the company, filed
a return in which it was admitted that
the company did not pretend to furnish
illuminating gas, and asked the COM
pany to establish standard after re-
ceiving information as to the two
standards under discussion. 81
Two other gas cases were before the
commission yesterday those of THE
Brooklyn Borough Gas Company and
the Bronx Gas and Electric Company.
1,-,nE III,
pany's rate case was adjourned by
Chairman William A. Prendergast, sub
ject to the call of the commission
while the rate of S1.40 a thousand
cubic feet, reduced from $780, remains
In effect. Chairman Prendergast said
Che commission might fix another and
temporary rate before the next meet
ing.
More Evidence on Rates
The hearing was for the purpose OF
having the company show cause why
Il temporary rate of $1.35 should not be
set Edward M. Bassett. counsel for
the company, said he had no further
evidence to offer at the time, but would
make another presentation at later
hearings, when permanent rate would
be argued.
In the case of the Bronx Gas and Elec-
trio Company Commissioner Charles
Van Voorhis advised Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Joseph P. Morrisey that
the city might draw up an order spe-
cifying the records and accounts of
the company that it wished to have
examined. If the company refused
access to any of the records, he said,
it would be liable to an order to COM
pei it to do so.
Adjournment was granted for three
weeks to permit examiners and counsel
for the city to prepare for cross-exagni-
nation of witnesses testifying Tuesday
and Yesterday.

Men in Subway Car
10 Injured in Wild Rush
That Follows Blowing Out
of Fuse on Coney Train;
Glass Rains ON the Floor

Sixteen persons, most of them
women, were injured yesterday when
panicstricken men fought to escape
from a B. r. T. subway car in which
fuse had blown out at the Fiftieth
Street station in Brooklyn. Six of
those injured required medical atten-
ton. The most seriously injured, all
of whom live in Brooklyn, are:

Mrs. Josephine Foster. s745 Bay
Twelfth Street; fracture of right ankle.
Sarah Sitowitz, 116O Fifty-ninth
Street; sprained right shoulder.
The train, made up of four steel
cars, was bound for Coney Island and
was in charge of George Wedekind as
motorman. AS Wedekind applied the
current to pull out of the station there
was flash in the fuse box in his
booth and film of smoke drifted back
through the first car.
III an instant most of the men in
the car were on their feet and scram-
bling for the windows. John Jack
oberls, q guard, was at the door but
tons and about to throw the exits
open, but was overwhelmed by the
rush of fear mad men.
They fought with each other to reach
the windows and thrust aside women
and children and trampled them ruth
lessly. Jackoberls yelled at the men
and pleaded with them. but to no avail.
At length he struggled to his feet and
fought his way through the mob which
filled the car until he was at his post
again.
He threw open the doors and solia
masses of masculine humanity erupted
through them, leaving their sixteen
victims groaning or senseless on the
floor, which was a mass of torn cloth
ing. blood and glass. The reserves
were called and several ambulances.
The physicians who came with the am
balances found the SIX most seriously
injured passengers still in the station
when they arrived.

that the negro, described as more than
ak feet tall, lay in wait.
As Limbach passed The building on
his way to work the negro asked for
a match. Limbach searched his pock-
cts. They yielded no matches and he
told the negro he couldn't give him
one. The latter's reply was to draw
a bread knife from the waistband Of
his trousers and lungc at Limbach.
srhe swiftness and ferocity of the at
tack gave Limbach no chance to avoid
IT, He made a futile attempt to ward
hand. and then fell to the sidewalk,
wounded in half dozen places.
As soon as his victim fell the negro
vanished, disappearing into the shadow
of the same doorway from which he
had sprung Limbach crawled to the
stable of the bakery where he was en-
ployed and gasped out his story. Then
he collapsed, and when an ambulance
arrived he was dead
few minutes later Tembus was
found on the sidewalk of Sixty-second
Street, near West End Avenue. A tall
negro had emerged from a hallway
near there, he said and asked him for
q match. Tembus was in a hurry to
get TO MS work, ana dlstrusted the
negro. He told him he had no matches.
At that, the negro drew bread
knife from the waistband of his
trousers and stabbed Tembus in the
abdomen. fleeing Immediately into the
doorway whence he had come. Tembus
was taken to Roosevelt Hospital His
wound is serious
Reserves from the West Sixty
eighth Street police station surrounded
the block and detectives searched tene-
ments from cellar to roof. They failed
to discover any skulker armed with a
bread knife, nor could they find any
negro of the description given by the
two victims, who could not give a
good account of himself. Special in
structions were given to the outgoing
platoons throughout the day to watch
for negro drug addicts

was running for the old stone wall as
fast as his legs could take him. With
a snarl Black Pussy was after him.
But she was too late. Yes, sir; she
was too late. Striped Chipmunk
whisked out of sight down between
the stones of the old wall and from
the safety Of his hiding-place called
her every bad thing he could think of.
My, my, how he did scold!
Black Pussy looked all about to see
what had hit her. Her head ached
and she was frightened. She sus-
pected that her master, Farmer
Browns Boy, had discovered what
she was doing and had thrown some
thing at her. But Farmer Browns
Boy was nowhere to be seen. Nobody
was to be seen. The Old Orchard
was as quiet and peaceful as ever
it had been. A certain little apple
lay close beside the path, but little
apples were lying all about on
the ground and Black Pussy didn't
even look at this certain little apple.
She growled at Striped Chipmunk and
then then turned and sneaked away in a
hurry toward Farmer Browns barn.
Striped Chipmunk came out on the
old stone wall and watched her go.
And all the time he scolded as only
he and his cousin, Chatterer the Red
Squirrel, can. And over in that GER
tain little apple certain little worm
went on eating and eating and never
guessed that he had saved the life
of Striped Chipmunk. And Striped
Chipmunk never guessed it either. 1t
is often that way in this Great World.
