Blockade in Subway
Fifth i'm Recent Weeks

The switchboard fire accident
and tie-up on the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit last night is the fifth Sc
rious interruption Of traffic on the
subway lines in the last few
weeks.
In June there was a power
breakdown on the Interborough
lasting less than a quarter Of an
hour, due to weak generator
service.
On July i heavy rain storm
flooded parts of the subway, caus-
ing temporary breakdown of
service.
On July G occurred the fire in
the Lexington Avenue subway, in
which many were partly asphyx-
lated.
On July Is rain storm flooded
parts Of the subway, temporarily
tieing UP traffic.
Five northbound local trains on
the Fourth Avenue subway of the
B. r. T. were stalled for a time
near De Kalb Avenue yesterday
morning. After a delay of about
five minutes the guards opened
the doors and many passengers
climbed to the street.

Mr.. RidG-say made the following state

thing he did was to issue an order

District of Brooklyn, East New York,

They had their nickels for the fare,
but there were no cars. Why were
there no cars? They had their fares
where were the cars? Always there
had been cars, except once during she
strike two years ago. And now there
were none, even though the tracks were
there and they had their fares. A lot
of officers Of the police force were
needed at the William sburg Bridge
landing in Manhattan to preserve order
among those who could not understand.
Although the taxi drivers did snappy
work and were obliging and did not
overcharge, there was at least one who
might be said to have carried punctili-
BUSINESS to the extreme. He was nurs-
ing his bright yellow fivver around
the corner of Murray Street when a
Tribune man spotted him, his machine
looking like one of the best British

vited himself to a seat beside the re-
porter during a traffic stop. The taxi
man objected to this until he had OBJ
tanned the reporters consent. 1t was
granted.
Leaving the cab amid the impatient
throng congregated around Borough
Hail. dozen persons jumped forward
to claim the four vacant seats. Again
the driver protested, and in vain the
dignifed man looked severe, for two
girls and two men opened the doors
and climbed in and told the driver Just
to drive them home. Thus four more
people got accomm odations out of the
total of 100000 who sought for trans
portation. -r
More wonderful than the immense
standing crowds were the walkers
Three columns proceeded over the
and the regular footway. Viewed
from the upper roadway Of the Manhat-
tan Bridge, they looked like the mil
lions of a locust horde crawling ire
sistibly forward over the chosen path
When, at nine minutes of 7, signs
came that current had once more be-
gun flowing through the miles of cop
per cable, Borough Hall Square,
Brooklyn, was suddenly filled with the
jingle of bells. They were the "go
ahead" signals of about two hundred
stalled trolley cars. Immediately aft
onward there came the clang Of 200
gongs, reverberating over the shutting
Of feet as the motormen stamped on
the iron plungers with their heavy
heels preparatory to turning on the
juice.
But, before wheel turned, sigh
of relief 100000 strong, ascended to
the murky clouds that had dropped,
twenty-five minutes before, the daily
shower of this rainy summer. Thank

When the jam colossal had had II
quarter of an hour in which to jeil and
this open spaces which grace the center,
eastern and southern portions of Man
haitian Island had been filled almost to
the brim with BrooElynites who seemed
to have no place to go after egress from
the main borough of the town and it
looked like matter of hard pedestrian
ism, they turned--men, women and
boysto gas-propelled vehicles for sal
vation.
One by one the taxs picked up
speed and disappeared In half an hour
taxis were as scarce as battleships.
Motor trucks took on loads of less pre-
tentious people, some disposing them
selves as best they might among the
merchandise. Sightseeing busses, om-
nibuses and even old-time hanson
cabs, whose beauty had long since de-
Pparted drawn by Equus caballus, the
best specimens of which are now chief
ly the subject of verbal wagers be-
tween gentlemen, were suddenly divert
ed from any other mission of the
moment to the conveying of stranded
people to the quiet borough that is
separated from Manhattan by bridges
and tunnels.
FURNITURE Truck Luxury
An open furniture truck, one-third
loaded, was a luxury with it's quarter
of dozen of easy chairs, and a chif-
fonier that provided High seat to a
lad in knickerbockersl Four truck
loads of watermelpns proceeding over
the Manhattan Bridge were all be-
sprinkled with humans. like flies.
From all streets people flowed toward
the subways and bridges until, coming
full against the tie-up, they filed up
the parks and broad thoroughfares as
dams gather the waters of innumerable
rivulets. Columbus Circle, Forty
second Street, Thirty-fourth Street
Twenty third, Fourteenth, City Hall
Park and Bowling Green accumulated
crowds that not even Election night in
a Presidential year or wet New
Years could duplicate.
For Il long timc people would not
leave the subway stations, once hav-
down the stairs of any subway sta
tion south of Fifty-ninth Street was
like looking into crate of berries.
Nothing was visible but heads, closely
packed and shaken down.
Veterans OF many an ancient +. r. T..
tie-up were found seated stolidly in
stationary trolley cars at the Brook
lyn Bridge as late as 6 o'clock, read
ing their newspapers. Thousands of

Mayor Hylan issued the following
statement last night from his home:

the cause of the trouble and I do not
know what the so-called State Transit
