bound for Manhattan wps stalled wnen
fuses blew out in the rear car. The
train finally was able to proceed to
Borough Hall, where the passengers
were unloaded, and then entered the
East River tube to go to a Manhattan
repair station.
In the tunnel, 500 feet from the
Bowling Green station, the train again
was stalled trying to run the upgrade.
"A second train that followed, loaded
with passengers, attempted to push the
first, but had to give it up when four
drswbars, part of the coupling mech

to assist in this manner and broke two
drawbars without moving the trains
ahead. rs Fl -.-...a...-.s

train these cars finally managed to
make the run to Bowling Green. The
passengers by this time had been in
the tube an hour.
The line was reported clear at 6:06
o'clock, after the trains with their
broken drawbars had been run to the
nearest repair yards.

actly thirteen minutes. A train from
Brooklyn found the signals set against

80 Inmates

Cathedral organs in motion picture
theaters and the brick walls that do
the Bronx prison make are an awk-
ward combination, according to Sheriff
Edward ]. Flynn.
Yesterday the Sheriff moved thirty
prisoners from cells on the north side
of the Bronx Jail to apartments in
other sections Of the building because
their overwrought nerves could not
stand the continuous music of mo-
tion picture theater organ which came
brokenly to their ears.
All the prisoners showed signs Of
nervous breakdown, the Sheriff said.
The trouble was that the music could
be heard only brokenly, because of the
peculiar acoustic properties of the
walls which permitted only snatches
of the music TO penetrate. IL neces-
sary, the Sheriff said, he will have the
entire north wall of the prison recon
structed and made sound proof.

Leader Of ambush Offers
to Join Free State Forces
AfterRepudiafing A killing

CORK, Aug. "a (By The Associated
Press Tom Hales, who led and
accepted the responsibility for the
ambush which killed Michael Collins,
repudiated it to-day, threw down his
arms and offered to join the ma
tional forces.
Tom Hales is the brother of Sean
Hales, pro-treaty member of the
Dali Eireann. He has been fierce
opponent of the treaty, and 1t is not
known whether his offer to join the
na.ionals will be accepted. He and
his sister, on last st. Patrick's day,
set fire to a platform at Bandon,
where q demonstration in favor Of
the treaty was being held under the
auspices Of his brother, Sean, and
Canon Cohalan, parish priest of
Bandon.
His change Of front is regarded
as significant and as giving point to
the prevailing belief that the death
Of Michael Collins may not hav,, been
in vain, as his action may animate
his comrades to do likewise.
