V) I McAdOO Starts MllCn Desired 111 novation in the Hudson Tunnels. THE INTERBOROUGH WAKES UP Subwty Officials Take Action Within an Hrur After McAdoo'a Scheme Wins. Just t3 show the public that it is quite willing to try any reasonable experiment. 'designed 10 Improve transit conditions. I'tbe Mc.Moo tunnel eysiem voluntarily put The.

rear car of every train Company, leaving Hoboken between the hours of 1 and fl clock this morning, was reserved exclusively for women. during the hours this evening, from 4:30 'to 7 o'clock, a similar service will be operated from the Twenty-third street terminus tn Manhattan. The experiment of the MrAdoo system had an electrical effect on the Interborough Piapid Transit Company, Before the initial test was h.ilf over this morning, the Interborough management, which has been fighting the lnnov.it ion so bitterly that the Public Service Commission hail finally to issue an order directing the company to show cause why it should not adopt the plan, hustled up to tbe.com-1 mission a leuer stating that, if the com-1 mission; would order It. the Interborough would give the scheme a trial. The letter, which wrs written by Gen-' eral Manager Frank Hedley, produced I no little amusement In the offires of! the commission.

The sudden determina of the interborough people to adopt an innovation it had resisted so strenu ously, before the plan had been in one 1 ration en hour on the McAdoo system, struck the commission as remarkably significant. As one official put it: "As an instrument to compel the prompt execution of a plan of the Public Service Commission, McAdoo appears to be more potent than the courts. Evidently the Interborough people are awakkenlng to the fact, that in McAdoo tbey have a 'live The reason for the demand by the Interborough that the commission should order the adoption of the car-for-women-only plan was regarded by. the commissioners as obvious. In stating that It will try (he experiment on the commission's order, the Interborough management, it was said, is in effect placing the responsibility on the Public Service Commission.

Should the innovation prove unsuccessful or result in disorganizing the service, the Interborough, it was 'pointed out, will be in a position to say. "It isn't our fault: the Public Sorvice Commission ordered the change." But, if the plan works as satisfactorily in tbe case of the Interborough as it did on the McAdoo system' this In railroading declare there can be no cause for' In the minds of those qualified to express an opinion, the car for women only scheme, as put into opefatTofT'bn tbe McAdoo route, involved improvement In transit 'During all. tbe" 'two hours It was tried, this, morning there was no confusion, no delay. And. what is regarded as of prime importance from the public the women, liked the Innovation.

Of that there was no doubt. When the first- train with a car for women only pulled out of the Sobok2n terminal- promptly: at ,7 the, rear car was comfortably filled with' women passengers, prominent among w-hom waa Mrs. F. who, as president of tile Women's Municipal League, has persistently agitated the adoption of the plan. Standing 011 the' platform, watching the practical operation of tho scheme with the eyes uf experts, were William G.

McAdoo, builder of the North River tunnel system and president, of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company; Wilbur C. Fisk, the first, vice president, and -General Superintendent E. C. Mun-ger. Several inspectors from the Public Service Commission's staff were also on hand, as well as certain representatives of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company.

After noting the operation of the new service for more than an hour. It was the unanimous opinion of the experts that the car-for-women-only Idea was a mighty good one. involving more comfort for women and thoroughly practical from the standpoint of railroading. The objection so vigorously raised by the 'Interborough peonle that reserving one would cause de-, lay." in loading and was demonstrated to be without basis in VAs was "stated at the outset," said President "(his obviously only an experiment. In putting It into operation, we reserved the right to terminate' it, if upon fair trial It should prove Impracticable.

It is Impossible to reach Una! conclusion in a day. but. this I yill say: If the innovation continues to work as feasibly and is as ponular with the public, ns the initial trial this morning would seem ro Indicate, it will become a permanent institution." in the two hours during which tbe new service was in operation this morning, it 1 Sister, Living Like Millionaire, Sues to Stop It and Get Cash From Brother. GEORGE POPE AS DEFENDANT. Plaintiff and He Live nt 871 Bush-wick Avenue Five Greenhouses, Servants, Horses, Carriages.

Claiming that she didn't want to live any longer as though she had a fortune of over a million dollars, instead of about $140,000. Mrs. Kunigunrla Mullin asked Justice siting in the special term of the Supreme Court, this afternoon, through her attorney. ex-Judge William B. Ilui'd.

to make her brother, George Pope of 871 Bitshwick avenue, give Into her possession about $32,000 of securities, a part of her fortune, before going into an acenuntlng with her to see Just where they stood in the matter of the rest. By the time ihe papers had been handed ill to Marean there was unfolded by the lawyers a tale of the magnificent scale on which ST1 Bushwirk avenue is carried nn which made ice Marean Inughingly remark that II would appear as though a commission ought to be appointed to look into somebody's sanity. Lawyer Robertson of the firm of Robertson, Harmon llavies, represented the brother, For over a year. It appeared on the argument, then have been differences between Mrs. Mullin and her brother.

Judge Hurd said that a brother. John Pope, who made a fortune In the tobacco industry, died in Virginia and left George Pope over a million, nnd Mrs. Mullin and her two sisters, Mrs. Kvn Kreiser and Miss Margaret Pope also large sums of money. Hut George got the bulk of John's estate.

This was twelve years ago. and since that time, said Judge Hurd. one sister Hnd Mrs. Mullin aud George have lived In the BushWick avenue house together. Mrs.

Mullin had never got any part of her property into her custody, Judge Hurd said, although they had lived on a scale of magnificence that was wonderful. They had European and Southern trips, a lavishly furnished horfie and other things in splendid proportion. But. now there had come a parting of the ways, and Mrs. Mullin wantc-d to get gut.

"Why shouldn't she have the securities." asked Justice Marean of George's lawyer, "so long as It isn't claimed that more than the income from them has been expended?" Lawyer Robertson told Justice Marean, In reply to this question, that the situation In this family was largely the same as in many other German families where things are done through a family council. So, it appeared, when twelve years ago John had died South, and his fortune had fallen into the possession of George and his three abaters, that, they took counsel together and agreed to live together in the Bushwick avenue house, and George was made the- natural custodian of all their money. One sister afterward left the family roof tree, hut an unmarried sister and Mrs. Mullin, with her two children, lived with George. It.

was trim that they had European and southern trips, said Lawyer Robertson, and lhat. George bad spent, lavishly of his own and the others' money to maintain the home in grand style. "Why, they have" spent. $750,000 alone for tbe bric-a-brac In the house," said Lawyer Robertson. "And no one made a motion for the appointment of a commission?" asked Justice Marean, looking surprised Mr.

Robertson didn't reply to this, but he Insisted that George had always wished to be fair and square with his sisters, nnd particularly the plaintiff, Mrs. Mullin. He had offered an accounting to show just how the money had been expended, but he had refused to part with the possession of the securities claimed by Mrs. Mullin, l.ecause he didn't think that was the right way to go about the settlement of the differences lhat had rome between brother and sister. Mrs.

Mullin and her family, said Lawyer Robertson, had had everything that, their hearts could wish- They had been surrounded with all tho paraphernalia of wealth. There were five greenhouses connected with the Bushwirk avenue home. They had servants, horses and carriages-opportunities for travel, and George had paid for it largely out of his own fortune. "Yes. that's just.

It." put In Judge Hurd. "They have been living as though my client, was enjoying a fortune of $1,400,000. such as her brother George got. Instead of the $140,000 which came to her from her brother. She, want3 to be able to break away, from that situation; that's all there Is to this motion." "Had George Pope spent more than the income from these securities which the plaintiff claims?" asked Justice Marean.

It didn't, appear whether such was the case or not, but Mr. Robertson said that his client most, strenuously protested against, giving up the securities when it. might develop that he had really spent more than the income. "Well, you would have a lien: if you have, why nob set it up?" was the next suggestion. Judge Hurd said that there was another Is estimated that about 2.00ft women rode in the cars reserved tor them.

Whnt impressed Ibe experts especially was the fart that women drsrending to the station from the street in Hobnken would walk the entire length of the train to travel in the reserved car. Between 7 and 7:30 o'clock th rear cars were usually not Quite filled, as was also the situation between and f. But fruit 7:30 to the height of the rush hours, there was never a vacant seat in the reai' i-ars and usually many women were forced to stand. i The reserving of the rear car for women I only doesn't imply that women may not ride In other tars. They are free to travel in any car on the train, but some women this morning preferred to stand ins i ph'i vf vht rai ticr man 10 1 1 i In a seat In' one of tho other cars.

The lord mayor of London acted as chairman, and he was supported by several hundred men prominent In financial, commercial and legislative The speei hes all were of one tenor, and the sentiments of the meetiug were ar-ruratelj' voiced by Sir James Fortescue-Flannery in this sentence: "Great Britain can only walk 111 peace wfth Germany, provided our preparations for naval defense are Absolutely and beyond suspicion superior'to hers." A. J. Balfour made a stirring appeal for the immediate laying down of four additional dreadnoughts. In which he foreshadowed that the naval programme for 1910 would have to be for eight ships, 'irrespective of the four conditional vessels, in which case Great Britain, unless the government yielded to the popular demand, faced the necessity of building a round dozen dreadnoughts during the coming Mr. Balfour dwelt with emphasis upon the feet that both the United States and Germany en eh were expending more than Great.

Britain this year on naval construction. Resolutions pledging the government all the financial support necessary to provide immediately four extra dreadnoughts were passed by acclamation. 217 WIDOWS MADE GLAD. Husbands Were Volunteer Firemen. They Get $52,000.

Both the state and th-i City of New York need more money, and need it. mighty badly. I am not.

DEPUTY BAKER'S ORDEAL All Soits of Wiggly Things in Mortal Combat With His Crop of Boils. Deputy Police Commissioner Baker returned from a brief vacation at Atlantic City on Tuesday morning with a crop of bolls, which worried him until be became interested in the treatment, that, his physician had instituted, The doctor is trying the new "lactobacilln," which is interesting doctors all over the country just now.

The laetobacilin comes in small pellets and each pellet has ever so many millions of besingn bacilli aud microbes and other wigglers' which aro set free when the thing is dissolved. The dissolving -begins after tho cpignsl ric region is. veached, and this sets at liberty, like 'tm'-Biaiiy antediluvian frogs In a piece of granite myriads of the wiggly thTiigs. which enter the blood nnd begin a mortal combat with the malign bacilli. The deputy commissioner was not quite sure that Ihe warfare with the malign microbes which made the bolls on his neck had begun this morning, but he was feeling easier.

And he was still swallowing Ihe pellets, which are mado in France, which come high, and which look innocent enough. The lactobacilln is generated In buttermilk and the bacilli which are stored there are warranted gentle, sound and free from vice. And. small as they are, they are mighty warriors. SITE FOR NEW OPERA HOUSE.

Hammerstein to Decide on Brooklyn Property This Week. Oscar Hammerstein got back from Boston this morning, having seen his song birds safely settled for the season at the "Hub." When he reached his desk he found it covered with published rumors concerning sites1 he had chosen for his Brooklyn opera house. One of them was to the effect that, he looked with favor upon the plot at Bedford avenue and Grant Square, opposite the Union League Club. Over the telephone, Mr. Hammerstein said that, the Grant Suqare site is not being considered by him.

His choice, he said, has narrowed down to four properties, and he will probably make a'decision before the end of this week, as he wishes to have the matter settled before he sails for Europe.

Meanwhile, New Structure, Revenue $88.83 on First Day, Costs the City Some $2,500 a Day.

The select committee of the Board of Esiiinate is meeting this afternoon considering the various franchise applications which have been made to tho board to operate trolley cars over the Queens-boro Mridlie. From indications il dnps I not seem likely ihut favorable a. Minn "ill "hat be taken on any franchise except, which, wilt give the South Shore Traction Company the right 10 maintain nnd operate a shuitle service over Ihe structure. It will be months bsfore a through service is established. Last week the committee postponed consideration of the franchise applications to give the companies an oppol (unity "lu get together," as Controller Mei7, expressed it.

with ihe franchise bureau of the hoard. Rui from all accounts nothing has been accomplished. The New York and Queens Coiiniy Railroad Company, which cm give immediate through service, has not made any overtures inrough which an amicable agreement can be reached with the city. in the first place the company does not care het her It receives franchise or not and in the scroti 1 r.lace the term" and conditions under which il will take a franchise pre of such a character that they cannot be entertained by I lie city. This makes the city entirely dependent iipou the Souih Shore Traction Company to Inaugurate the shutlle service.

The South Shore Company has a franchise application pending to extend it.H lines from Jamaica to the bridge. It, will take months before ibis extension can be made, but in the meantime the company is willing to operate shuttle service, with tile stipulation that it will discontinue this temporary service if it should interfere with the through service. According 10 the opinions of the members the select committee that, bod will probably agree to-day to recommend to the Board of Estimate the granting of this franchise for the shuttle service. The committee may also report favorably on the company's other franchise application to extend its lines from Jamaica. Even if favorable action on the shuttle service is recommended.

II will take at least Ave weeks before il can be started. The form of contract will have to be advertised for thirty days, and another week will be required to draw up ihe necessary papers. By that time the overhead wiring on the bridge will be completed and the tracks will be laid leading to the bridge approach. Neither of these two details have been carried out yet by the Bridge Department. In view of these facts, it ran readily ba seen that, even under the most favorable circumstances, It will take approximately" ebouf.

two months before some medium of transportation ovr the bridge Is provided for. The South Shore Company lg" willing to purchase additional cars for this service, but it. will not undertake the expenditure until the franchise fop the shuttle service is formally granted by tbe board. From the time the bridge was openei yesterday afternoon until midnight it yielded $88.83 In revenue. This money-was collected In teh shape of tolls from the vehicular traffic.

The automobile tolls alone amounted to $41.30. Of course the receipts of yeslerday cannot be as a criterion, because many vehicles were driven across merely as a matter of curiosity. The Bridge Department estimates that. 1,100 trips were made over the structure-in both directions, in the nine hours and twenty minutes constituting the first day. There were 413 automobiles, and the vehicles drawn by more than one horse numbered 228.

The toll collected for each was 10 cents. Wagons which were drawn by only one horse paid a toll of 5 cents. Horses that were led across the structure were charged 3 cents each. Secretary Schlff of the Bridge Department gave out the following summary ot the vehicular traffle receipts for the first day: Automebilcs fmm Manhattan. 21fi Automobiles from Queens.

207 Double vehicles from Manhattan. 91... Double vehicles from Queens. 137 Single vehicles from Manhattan. SinRle VPlilcles from Queens, 200 $21.

The budget, allowance this year for the Queensboro Bridge account, salaries and wages, re- pairs, replacements, apparatus, snow removal, contingencies, is $170. 851. an average of about $470 a day.

Water dripping into the subway tubs) under the Hatlem River this morning raused a short circuit that incapacitated the electrical signal system, and when the 8 o'clock express from West Farms approached the north entrance to tunnel the danger light was showing. The trouble was soon discovered, the leak was stopped and the signals set to rights.

Tbe actual delay, according to an Interborough official, was thirteen minutes. The sudden stoppage of southbound trains caused thousands of people to be delayed, and many went to One Hundred and Forty-ninth street and took the. Ij trains. YOUNG HEANEY WINS POINT. Walter Jeffreys Carlln, attorney for th son of Arthur J.

Heaney, the late pawn broker, in the case against the adminiS" tration of Magistrate Frank E. O'Reilly, the executor of the estate, which Is rapidly becoming a cause' celebre In Kings County, secured an order from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, signed by Justice Miller, this which puts a stop to temporarily. at least, to any payments of money out of the estate by Magistrate O'Reilly. The stay was secured pending the hear-. ing of an appeal which Mr.

Carlin has asked for in behalf of his client on certain rulings of Surrogate Ketcham. Or. March 12. Surrogate Ketcham mad9 an order permitting the magistrate to expend certain sums of money and to with-" draw tbe amounts from the business. This mcney was to pay counsel fees and for other purposes.

Mr. Carlln claims that any withdrawal of money from the pawnbroking shop will hurt the business, which re-' quires a large capital.
