A track walker on his tour of in
mel of the Pennsylvania Railroad
which runs below the East River, dis
covered this morning by the light Of
his swinging lantern, O. man crouched
in niche in the wall built there 70
protect workmen from passing trains
The man was lying huddled and
half 1zen on the fboor of the shallow
embrasure, four hundred feet west of
First Avenue, to which he had crawl
ed on his stomach, with broken arm
and ribs. for more than fifteen hours
through the tunnel. He had fallen
somewhere under Long Island City
from a train which was bringing him
to Manhattan and all through the
night had fought his way along, yard
by yard, constantly menaced by pass
ing trains and the deadly third rail,
until he discovered the workman's s
niche and sank into it exhausted
With the greatest difficulty, owing
to his injuries, the man was got to
his feet by the switchman, who
Tagged an oncomins train, put him
aboard and sent him to the PcnnsyI-
vania Station. There 1t was found
that he was Clifford A. Bliss, twenty
one, of No. S6 Georgia Avenue,
Brooklyn.
He was taken to the New YORK
Hospital. where mis- right arm and
three ribs on the left side were found
to be fractured and that he had Sc
we're internal injuries. He has d
fighting chance for his life.
Bliss is employed as an extra
switchman in the Sunnyside Yards of
the Pennsylvania Railroad in Long
Island City. His oight-hour tour of
duty ended at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, and at 5.35 o'clock he
boarded the "dead-head" train bound
for Manhattan,
How he CHANGED to fall through "a
door while the train was laundering
down into the tunnel, Bliss has no
idea. When he regained conscious
ness he was bitterly cold and could
scarcely move. A train came thun-
dering down on him and he flattened
himself against the tunnel wall, then
he started crawling westward.
He thinks that several times during
the all-night journey he lost cons
ciousness, but managed to fall in such
a way that he escaped the trains.
When the switchnan found him,
he said he had reached the niche only
a little while before.

200 Routes to Be Mapped Out,
Some to Augment Trolleys
in Other BoroughS.

The Hylan Administration has de-
cided to attempt the elimination Of all
trolley lines from the Borough OF
Manhattan and the substitution of q
bus system. In the Boroughs of
Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens bus
system also has been worked out to
augment the trolley systems. Track
less trolleys will remain in Richmond.
A public bearing to draft legislation
necessary to legalize the Administra-
tion's plan will be held tws weeks
from to-day.
An outlay of $25, 900, 900 is involved
in the bus plan. This money will be
spent as follows:
For the construction OF $500 mod
ern, we'll built, sanitary, stable, safe
and properly equipped motor buses,
$1s, 25O.o0O. ~
For the purchase of spare parts
and garage equipment, 100000. For

For the construction and equip
ment of garages. S3,S00,0 900.
For contingencies, $250,000."
The bus lines would carry about
G,c40, 900 passengers a day, it was es
tlmated by Grover A. Whalen, Com.
missioner of Plant and Structures
These passengers, at cents each
would pay $4,000 a day, IL is fur

Fixed charges, including interes,

fixed charges $13, 4S9. 900. The opera.
