A its management shall lie good or bad. so it Will affect the physical welfare of every dweller In that borough. It affects also the transportation over the bridge, which hue become virtually the property of that company to all intents and purposes. That eompauy should provide iti-elf with tlie very best talent for conducting its business.

If it does so it will be able to give comfortable traie-iHirtation to all ptu-sengers ii that borough, besidt earning great profits for itself, I have no hesitation in siijiug tUat if that company had wise and loinpctelit nianagenu lit stub a thing as a erudi ut the bridge would be a raritv. and proliuly never be heard of.

Any armories 'to bo built In Brooklyn trill be looked after bj the Brooklyn chapter of tho same society. The Mayor touched on the plan of Morgan and Sluttcry for tho Sixty-ninth Regl-mqnt armory which Were lately net aside by the new Armory Board. The estimated cost of the proioseU armory according to Morgan and Slattery was That was their first estimate.

Then they thought It could not be done for less than $950,090. aud their plans were thrown Major Low said this morning: "I want nothing whatever to do with Morgan Ac Slattery or their plans or contracts. I am In favor of terminating all relutiop with this firm. I wish to start If, however, we cannot end all connection with them we will hnve to finish what work they have roSimonced and we inherit from them. We should start fair in the matter of the Sixty-ninth Regiment Armory a though nothing had been done.

We must haxe a nexv architect, new plans. Hew estimates and new bids. We do nut want, however, to exceed the appropriation If we can bulhl a proper armory fof that amount.

Some Details aa to Movable Platforms. "No better means has yet been devised for transport of passengers hi Inrge rum-lx-rs, and without a moments wuste of time from start to finish of the trip, which eau eipuil the movable platform.

Moving platforms, or sidewalks, were first const rnrfed and operated in 1892 nt the World's 'olmuliinti Kxposition nr Chicago; later they were reprudueed in Berlin, in 1890, and again at Paris in 1999. The capacity of this device Is practically unlimited, depending entirely on ils speed and width. A seat on a moving train is accessible the instant a person arrives at the station. The most trying of all discomforts, that of nltlng In a crowd, is therefore disposed of. 'The-ears will Bur -in a train forming a continuous circle, traveling at a speed of ten miles per hour.

After leaving -the shelter of the stations, the ears will run in a housing of light metal anil glass, which may heated in winter, and is open in summer. "At each terminal there will lie tut oval inop. and access to the ears will be gained by three multiple speed platforms, each three feet wide, traveling inside the loops. The Speeds at which these platforms will tiavel, will lie 24, 5 and miles per Lour, respectively. Outgoing anil incoming passengers will be kept separate.

"Outgoing passuigers will la- lnnded by stain-nses on a stationary platform. They will step from it upon the 2Vo-mile platform. thence on the' ii-mile and Tty-mile platform, and finally on to the ltl-mile tars, the seats of which will lie plaml ten iin lies from the edge, as was done tit Chita go. Tiiciiining passengers will reverse these opera thins. When a passenger wishes to got off the cars he walks acmes the multiple speed platforms, thereby stopping himself instead of the car.

"The average time to get on or off the cars at 'hint go was three seconds per platform. At the bridge terminals the proposed harps will is- long enough to allow passengers sixty second, or fifteen rec-onds for each platform. At Chicago three-fourths of the daily passengers were strangers at the bridges the same people, practically. will use the cars the year round. "During rush hours the movable pint-fohns can fie set in motion on the three 1 bridges.

Tlioy will land passengers in Brooklyn at convenient stnthms at the end of the bridge, where the trolley cars would la- in waiting on the tracks underneath. "The buildings now erected At the ent Brooklyn terminal would la- rei.iornd and replaced by a viaduct -finding to th Bridge, gm! the Ilaza onld Is used urti flonlly, a originally Intended. A similar arrangement would la found nt the end of fOLrt fhe three bridges, "The movable platforms of (lie sire' fee-nminendcd for those bridges will rSelt transport 115.999 passengers s-r hour. No passenger will la coms-llcl to stand ea. can have sent.

There is no waiting. On summer nights the mornlde pint form would afford a cool and very pleasant recreation fur thousands of the issuer s-o jde, who coutd enjoy linvxes nt all time upon those eimilnting highways at very trifling cost. The moving platform will obviate entirely the dangerous nnd hide rent crowding inseparable from the pre-ent sj'stem in use by the trolley lines. Those platforms will prove to he a Isa.n to the many who reside or are employed at short distances front the Bridge terminals in the boroughs thus connected. Many passenger will he landed near enough to their home to walk the remaining quarter nr half mile, which will doubtless reduce the burden of traffic on the trolleys.

Tbe Municipal Office Building. "The full plan contemplates the erection of a Municipal Office Building over tbe City Hall Bridge station. Facing down Iaik Itow, with a frontage on Centre street and Park Bow. this building will he one of the imposing architectural feature of this portion of the city. It may Is made sixteen stogies high.

It will cover 135,000 square feet of ground, and will furnish ample office space for all the departments of the city government. "A broad stairway sixty feet wide will lead from the first floor on mezzanine floor level down into City Hall Park. The present unsightly Bridge terminal ill Is removed in order to give the space necessary for Ihe Municipal Building, Inch, while it will not he necessnrily expensive. will be eminently nsefnl and economical. since It will save to the city a limit $300,000 now annually paid for office rental In various building.

One That Killed Brooks in Possession of District Attorney Jerome. FACT DOES NOT WORRY BACKUS. Couiel (or Mlis tbe Accused Girl, Does Not Worry Over the 1 FliiUg of the Weapom The Circumstances of the Diseovery of the Revolver Are Being Kept Secret. District Attorney Jerome is said to be in possession of tbe revolver with which Walter S. Brooks wns shot in the Glen Island Hotel.

At the office of the District Attorney this morning the report was corroborated, but it could not be learned when tbe weapon was turned over. Mr. Backus, tbe counsel for Florence Burns, tlie girl accused of having shot Brooks, wus not at nil disturbed when the information about the revolver wa brought to him. So they have found it at lust, he said. Well, thats singular.

I wonder where tliey got it? Still, thats not going to prove anything against my clieut." The mother of Walter S. Brooks, according to report, hit identified the comb that was introduced into tha oae on Saturday a belonging to Florence Burns, who stand charged with the murder of the young commission merchant. I saw thnt identical comb with the girl when she wa at my home, Mrs. Brooks is snid to have told the District Attorney. I linpe that Mr.

Jerome wil. decide upon the comb that wa fouad in the room of tlie Glen Island Hotel nt the next hearing," said Mr. Buckn to-day. "Tlioy are in possession of any number of combs just nt present. They took tile ones away that tho girl wore when she wns arrested, and also those found in tlie house, it can be seen that tliey hnve now quite a collection on hand.

The combs this girl now wears were given to her by Mrs. Foster, wlm lost her life in the Inrk Avenue Hotel fire, nnd who took great in tere-st in her case. Someone i forging the name of Florence Burns to letter unit sending them out fis if they came from the Tombs prison. Mr. Backus yux placed in possession of this information by tlie accused girl on Saturday uflernoon.

Tlie letter linve been sent to several (icrsoiis, but Mr. Baekit declined to state the contents. Florence Bunts wn not visited at the Tomb prison yealerelny by either iter father or mother. Tliey did not profiosc to lake any clinme at being served with tmhimciins, so that is why they kept awn.v. The accused girl intitiniies to receive letters which are turned over to her lawyer unopened.

Tills one touched tile Tombs this morning: Washington, D. CM March 1. "My Dear Miss Burns I ennnot but help express m.v sympathy for you in your present predicament for, although a stranger to Jon 1 feel interested because I see Iti jolt a girl of refinement who has loved not wisely but too well. If I do not bore jott I will tell jou about myself: how hard it was to resist the temptation to murder the mini who destroyed lay life. In the first pliire.

We went to the same school to gether, and attended tlie same church. 'I being a stranger in the city I allowed liim to call on me. lie grew tired after a while.and then told mo that he would not marry me under any ciri-miistiinces.

J. Cnntiinghnm, who was displaced now iiH'rintendeiit in this iKirough, is stilC nn employee of the BriKiklyn Street Cleaning Department. Deputy Commissioner Qalun when seen to-day said that lie knew nothing of the charge of mismanagement in the matter of snow removals alleged to have been the basis of Mr. Cunningham displacement. lint he had seen ill tho newspaper.

Has Mr. Cunningham been removed?" he has been displaced a snow iieriiiteiident and is now baek in his old isisition of district Hupcrint.mlont Questioned as to the probable truth of the alleged complaint respecting snoxv rental al. Mr. Quinn snid that Mr. Bonton was the man for the reporter to ee.

I know that my.trmk are all right nnd that they carry the amounts claimed for them." It is recalled in conne-tion with tlie stories of irregularity in tlie removal of snow that Deputy Commissioner Quinu tried on several occasion under the late administration to have the system changed Ho has ulwny Is-lieved tiiat the snow fall should ho measured, to sm-evtain-tho mini tier of cubic jnrds in it. then an allow am-e made for evaporation and the job of removal given to a contractor at the estimated amount of snow to.ls carted away.

Rapid Transit Companies Discriminating Against tbe Ferries. "From innumerable letters revived at the Bridge Department, as well as through iny personal inquiries among well-informed citizen of Brookiy n. 1 have reached tile eonelu-ion that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is discriminating against the ferries in various way-. Statist lea obtained the I'nion Ferry Company show that the Fulton Ferry lurried in 1890. 10, 050, 289 passengers, and in 1901 the same ferry carried but showing a loss of more than 50 per cent, of the former traffic over this single ferry line.

It would seem a wise policy for tbe Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to seek an outlet for its longestioti by way of the ferry Jiues. nj least until sueh time as the Williamsburg bridge and tbe Whitehall tunnel are completed and thrown open to the public. After the completion of the Williamsburg bridge and the Whitehall tunnel the present Brooklyn Bridge should Is reconstructed, so to have two decks. This can be done while traflie over the bridge is maintained: hut the traflie would have to be cut down to perhaps 50 per cent, of it present volume during the reconstruction period of nbout two year. "The plan herein outlined is comprehensive, and look to the future development of Biooklyn and Queens It provides enormous transportation facilities; but it will depend upon the wisdom with which future contracts for the use of these highways shall be made with the transportation companies, whether the facilities here outlined will become as fully useful to thq.

city a they onn lie made by competent nnd fur-seeing management. "The above is only an general outline of the plan, the details of which require time for larefnl working out. They will liot, however, affect the general seope.nf the plan ag nlmve indicated. Immediate Relief. "The question now arises: What immediate relicT'cAii be given front the congested condition nt the Manhattan ii-rmiiiiU? III this enmiectiiin let me first say that the congestion hits leen removed from tin-top plntform.

from which the bridge train start. Finding that the -u-piirnlioti of locul Hiidtbr.i'ugli passengers was the cause of onfu-ooti and disgraceful crow ding on tin-op platform. I directed the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to do away with that distinction, aud to let passenger into all enis from tbe platform. The distribution the pnengirs to tln-ir different destination take place nt the Brooklyn end. That system work satisfactorily.

A similar system for the surface cars would likewise do away it It tlu-ir worst congestion: That is. to run for three hours from four until seven in the aflerinsin oulv sill a rs. which ein ulate from ouo end of the bridge to tile other the Brooklyn passengers to transfer at the Brooklyn olid for their respective destinations. Revocation of Contract With Rapid Transit Company Recommended. I mu advised by the Fonsiration t'oun-slc that ihe introduction of stub system require the revocation of the present contract.

I'mler tbe present contract the bridge i simply an niiuex of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit toinpuuy. I'mler it the Bridge Coiiimissioner is poweiless to correct the effect of the bad management of the surfuiv ear lilies running over tbe Brisiklyn Bridge. "It must be (minted out that there is no congestion of traflie in the morning rush hours at the Manhattan end. The puren-gers leave the station ns rapidly as they arrive. Thtjre is no congestion at any time in the non-ruh hours.

The only congestion existing and the one which is frightfully bad and geaidiilons. is for an hour aud a half in the evening, namely, from 5 to 1:30 o'clock. It is brought about, a everybody knows, by the insistence of the Brookly Rapid Transit Company on loading cars for seventeen lim-s at tbo Manhattan end of the Bridge on tho small space mu 100x90 'feet. It Is attempting to i arry the passenger during evening rush hours on a system which, in all part of tlie world, aud on ait railroads, requires large space and separate piutforms aud trai ks for the accommodation of the cars or trains to be loaded under that system In the non-rush hours, when travel is light, no particular inconvenience is caused by that system. But in the evenitig.

when the masses of passenger arrive, it is physically impossible to accommodate them on that stem. Rapid Transit Company Censured. "This ought to be known to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's management. They could rectify the condition a great deal by giving better accommodation to (utssc tigers from their (wry terminal. There is proof on hand that they do not do so, ami they seem to lie lncmui'tent to deal with ihe situation.

It cannot be permanently tiered until the new Fast River Bridge is finished, but. In tlie meantime, nnd a a temporary expedient, the Brisiklyn Rapid Transit Company could In various wavs relieve the crow ding. If it were run by competent men. If it does not choose to ami4-lornte the disgraceful conditions during the afternoon rush hours, then the revoking of the existing contract become a necessity. "The congestion Is not alone at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Budge.

It Is. If possible, still wore at the Brooklyn end anil Up Fulton street, aud where cur touches cat and where every few minutes there is a deadlock. "It has been priqsiscd to run cars over the bridge at a fuste speed than eight mile an hour, which is tha present rale of speed. Not only would It Increase the danger of bloikade on the bridge Itself, bnt it would not be the slightest use to run car faster over the bridge when they eanont rnn fnster on Fulton Street and other tnt, which are now also blockaded. The present laws do not permit tlie closing of the bridge to triuk trathi, and I Would not advocate -li.

During the campaign he was most liberal with promises of the good things of public office to 11 who would follow him Into the Fusion movement -It is proi-uhle that he really -expected to Ik- able in tbe event of Mr, Low's election to redeem a fair pnirtion of these promises, but victory did not bring tlie looked for result. Quite frequently since the lt of Mr. t'offey lie expressed his intense dissatisfaction, not to say disgusst, with the new regime.

However, the Coffe.v ltes fl re managing to secure a few i-rtimh from the administration table.

When Senator Coffey was expelled from the Democratic organization Marten Flanugan, protege of his, who was holding a (Kisitiou as assistant Corporation Counsel in the Brooklyn Law Department, was turned out and Ninth District Democrat, an anti-Coffej ile, Ralph was appointed in his place.

A special meeting ot the Armory Board was held in the Major's office this morning. The meeting wn called to discus (dnas for providing tetuisirury quarters for the Seventy-first Regiment, whose armory was destroyed by lire a few dnj ago. Colonel Bate, of the 8eventy-firf Regiment, was present, aud oHii ially notified tlie Board of the destruction of the building. He recommended that tlie Lenox Lyceum la- set apart a temporary quarter. The rnlunel alo urged that an architect be employed to make plans for a new armory, to be constructed aceutding to tbe nuist modem idea of architecture.

Major Isvw appointed Messrs. Funic, Smith and Mil-eer a committee to find a suitable (dace for the regiment pending the erection of a new armory. No final action was taken with regard to the appointment of an architect. Tbe matter of anhiteet. however, was not disKied of.

Red-field lias power to order city employees to wear uniforms. It is Mr. Kedfieid's intention to linve the inspector in the Department of Highway, Department of Sewer, and janitor anil attendants wear distinctive uniform. When the proposition was first made, as was to lie exH-eted from a so-called reform administration, it having bien their aim in the put to have certain employees wear uniforms, there was a storm of protest front the men affected. Commissioner Redfield.

it I claimed, ngteed to put it to a vote of the men jtliemselves. In face of the fact thnt the sentiment Ps expressed by vote is against wearing uniforms. Mr. Kciitmld im ordered Ihc men to buy them. The un-American idea of having men in uniform appear to be a hobby with the men who get Into power ns the exponent of "reform a it haa been presented to the peopje in recent year.

'There is no question nt stake ns in the matter of the l'oliee and Fire Departments. where rite uniform is absolutely necessary and is Worn with the same purpose that is aimed at in distinguishing the soldiery and military. That Commissioner Redfield is not going to have it all his own way in this mutter is evident from the fact thnt Alderman Alt 1m nlieaily introduced a resolution in the Board of Aldermen, asking by wliat right or power the affected employee are to be made to wear uniform, 1 The resoltt tion was ent to ConWa-tlon Counsel Rives, and he ha been asked whether the barter give any' uch power tiff onnnis sinner.
