ASKS HYLAN TO STOP
BROWNSVILLE BUSES
Garrison Complains Of COmpe-

Transit Company.

The Manhattan Transit Company, Of
which Joseph H. Hoadley Is the presi-
dent, Is not to be permitted to operate
its buses in Brownsville without inter-
ference. it appeared yesterday. in spite
Of It's New York State blanket fran
chise issued In 1899, authorizing 1t to
operate buses in any city of the first
class
Lindley NJ. Garrison, receiver Of the
Nassau Electric Railroad Company. with
some Of whose lines the buses are said
to be competing on parallel routes. ad-
dressed to Mayor Hylan yesterday a
letter. in which he said
Il am informed that corporation en-
titled Manhattan Transit Company is
operating buses over route from East
ern Parkway, at Utica avenue. Brook
lyn, via Eastern Parkway, pitISin ave-
nue. and other streets to Liberty avenue.
II am informed that search of the
records discloses that the Board Of Esti-
mate and Apportionment has never
given its consent, and that the company
has not secured any franchise to so
operate also that like search discloses
that no certificate OF convenience and
necessity mas been secured, as the law
requires that It shall be secured. from
the Transit Commission.
Under these circumstances 1t Is clear
that such operation is contrary to the
law and should be stopped.
II am appealing to you as the Execu-
tive Officer Of the city. charged with
the duty of enforcing the laws. to take
appropriate measures to stop the above
mentioned operation"
Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner OF
Plant and Structures. to whom Mr.. Gar
rison's letter was referred, said he ex-
pected to act In the matter and probably
would make a statement to-day.
Mr. Hoadley said Mr.. Garrison's state
ment that these buses are operated
without a franchise was erroneous an ]
misleading. He added:
"Our buses are operated under an act
passed by the State Legislature in 1892
and we are advised by eminent counsel
that we are we'll within our rights in not
only operating over our present routes
but in making and carrying out our plan
for the future extensive development o.
the Manhattan transit system"
Mr.. Garrison refused to say what re
straining steps he expected to take II
use It's police power should prove futile
1t was predicted. however. that he would
seek redress through an injunction.

ABDUCTION CLAIMED
 BY GIRLS FATHER
Peter Scrgus of Bristol, Tells Police That His Daughter Was
 Spirited Away

Bristol has unearthed strange story and a mystery in the complaint of Peter Sergus of Forestville, made to the police, concerning the abduc- ton of his daughter by one John Sa- lomon of 30 Park street.
 The story as told by the irate par ent is as follows: Late last evening his daughter Angelina, was visiting some friends on School street in For estville, when Solomon appeared at the door. He appeared excited and told the girl that her father had been injured and she was wanted home immediately. The girl started for home.
 Now 1t seems that although she had no love for Solomon, she believ- ed his story enough to fall right into the trap which the enamoured swain is said to have prepared for her, for when she had proceeded down the street short distance, she was drag ged into d waiting taxicab driven, according to the father, by Tony Cerone, and she was spirited away to parts unknown.
 It appears that the relatives of the maiden are not so positive as the father is that the man who stole the maiden is John Solomon, but they say they are sure that the abductor is one Saul karm of Orchard street, who also fell a victim to the charms of the lovely maid.
 Detective Sergeant McGillicuddy of the Bristol police force who is mak- ing an investigation into the affair, has been unable to locate either An gelina Solomon, Cerone or karm. He has been searching the city and has been aided by relatives of the miss ing girl who swear that they will stay on the trail until the girl is returned to her father
