news that his daughter, who was in

yelled insults at the policemen. Be-
yond Eighth Avenue the crowd became
still larger. 1t surgcd about the steps
Of the police station, booing and jeer-
ing Stray members were cast up on
the very steps of the station; small
boys perched on the window silIs.
The police station reverberated to
the din. Lieutenant Sheehy, endeavor-
ing to take the pedigree Of the pris-
oner, found himself unable to hear a
word she said.
"Get the reserves out and clear that
street," he ordered.
The entire force 6f reserves charged
the mob east and west with night
sticks swinging. Men and women
jostled and trampled each other in
their haste to retire. Nevertheless,
individuals and groups turned snarl-
ingly upon their pursuers here and
there and catcalls and jeers continued
almost unnbated
Jack Shreve, who later said he was a
performer by profession and lived at
the Longacre Hotel, was arrested by
EELrOtman FOStcf VINO SAID ne neaFd

He denied the accusation, but was locked
up on charge of disorderly conduct.
Police Establish Lines,
Police lines were established at
Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue and
no one was permitted to approach
nearer than those streets to the police
station unless he could give a good
reason for doing 80. In the interval of
peace thus obtained, Lieutenant Sheehy
proceeded with his interrogation of the
prisoner.
When the mob Of her supporters had
been driven back she turned suddenly
pale and sagged weakly against the
railing in front Of the desk. Lieutenant
Brady, believing she was about to faint,
ran for glass of water. which she
slipped before replying to Sheehy's
questions.
II am very sorry" she said to Pa
trolman Taylor when her pedigree had
been entered in the blotter, .sthat you
had to be the one to do this. am
very sorry for YOU"
Bail in the sum of $500 was fur

home in taxicab. avoiding the still
congested corner of Forty-sixth Street
and Broadway, where the Salvation
Army meeting still was proceeding
vigorously, the audience fully as large
as before Captain Crawford had been

sculling Championship

An interesting feature of the various
athletic events scheduled to take place
during the convention at New Orleans
is a sculling race between Walter
Hoover, of Minnesota, the worlds
champion singles oarsman, and Gran
vile GUIDE, of Washington. Hoover
recently challenged any Legionnaire TO
a race at any time during the conven-
tion, and the delegates from Washing
ton are backing their favorite to the
limit.
1t is reported that GUIDE began scull-
ing only four months ago, but aston
ished the rowing world by winning
three events in one afternoon last
August at the Middle States Rowing
Regatta GUIDE took up the sport with
the avowed intention of defeating
Hoover within three years. but he has
come along so fast that he is willing
to make his stand now
The race will be rowed over mile
and quarter course, and if GUIDE
should defeat Hoover he will not only
become the American Legion champion
but worlds champion as we'll, since the
Southern A. A. u. recently passed a
resolution making records made at New
Orleans official.

LONDON, Sept. 90 (By MaiD.--
Thomas Kennedy, Labor Member Of

people nave escaped the war miseries
and uncertainties that are our In
here. The differences and divisions he.
tween skilled and unskilled workers
are much less pronounced in Germany
than In Britain. At the time of NV
vaslt. when the rate Of exchange was
anything between 1900 and 5000
marks to the pound sterling, the aver

Mayer Explains
Status of B.R.T Il.
Reorganization
Legal Obstacles Still in the
Way, but End of Lines
Receivership Is Near, De-
clares Federal ] II d g e
Urges Creditors 10 Wait
Those Holding Claims for
Damages Assured of
Money in His Statement

In statement issued yesterday
United States District Judge Mayer, Of
Brooklyn, declared that although the
end Of the receivcrship of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company is in sight,
many important legal and financial
problems remain to be worked out.
The statement follows:
$50 many conflicting rumors have
been current as to the reorganization
or readjustment of the Brooklyn Rap
id Transit system that 1t seems APP
propriate to state what is in progress.
at is desirable, Of course, that the
receiverships should be ended as soon
as practicable, but before this result
can be accomplished various legal and
financial problems must be worked out.
"These problems are different in
many respects from those which were
presented by the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company situation. The B. r
T. system consists not only of subway
and elevated roads, but also Of surface
roads, and thus the groups of security
holders and creditors who must be con-
suited before any plan is finally pre-
sented are more numerous than in the
case of the Interborough.
Various Plans Being Drafted
The questions involved have been
under study for some time and out
lines Of plans for reorganization are
now being prepared by different
groups. These proposed plans, when
drafted, will be the subject matter OF
conference and, in due course. the sit
uation will be taken up with the
Transit Commission.
"1n view of what was said by the
court and various counsel at the hear
ing at the beginning Of the receiver
ship the court has no doubt that any
Plan ultimately submitted will make
just provision for claims of tort cred
itors-that is, death or personal in
jury claims.
while the court has fully appre
ciated the hardships suffered in MANY
instances by tort creditors, the delay
in disposing of these claims has been
due to the legal complications neces.
sarily incident to the receiverships. II
is hoped, however, tnat these cred.
ltors will not sell their claims to spec
ulators. Not only are the interests OF
the tort creditors committee has
been untiring in it's efforts to secure a
just and fair disposition of these
claims.
Fortunately the increase in the net
earnings of the B. R. T. system has
made the winding up of the recciv-
ership. practical question, and, while
it is impossible to predict when that re-
suit will be attained, the time has come
when efforts to that end have been
seriously undertaken"
Emil Lindorf, president of the Con-
course bus line, announced last night
that his company is ready to install,
without any financial aid from the city,
routes along any streets or avenues
designated by Mayor Hylan.
The company has just completed a
new one-man double-decked bus, seat
ing hfty-four persons. A periscope
allows the operator to watch the upper
