Tie Up. i The naralvslg of the tranait ays tem of Brooklyn yesterday existed on 5 every aubway and aurface line ex-I cept the few in the borough operated 5 bv the Interborounh. The whole M. T. ayatem was thrown out of aervice in midday by a amall nre the switchroom of the great power I station at Kent and Division ave-f nuea.

Cable after cable blew out, and aa if by magic every car and train came to a standstill at the point at which it was. The cara and I traina were by no means empty. It was the firat real Summer Sunday of this season. Men, women and chfU ii dren in holiday parties, bound for suburb and beach, found themselves stalled. I The most serious results were exit perienced in the under river tubes, ji There fear added to the difficulties and the guards had to contend with I crying babies and hysterical men 1 and women who were pounding at I the doors and demanding release for I half an hour until they could be re-5 leased and allowed to proceed by footpath.

For handling thia crowd in an orderly way and without ac-S cldent the employes of the railroad I company deserve high praise. They i did their work cooly and successfully, and it was due to their command of their sense and their courage that there is no death list as a result of I the remarkable accident III Uur nuccm w'6. followed the tie-up. Motormen and conductors sat down and waited in their stalled cars. Basket parties proceeded in some instances in trucks and some in taxicabs to their several destinations or gathered on the sidewalks to partake of their picnic fare.

The cessation of the railroads dlsap-- pointed the Coney Island men who i had expected a large business, and took the pleasure out of the day for thousands of visiting delegates and spectators who hope to enjoy the Democratic Convention. It was a singular ana regrettable accident. It ought to teach a lesson as to the slim chances on which our great transportation system depends, There should be, it would seem, some duolicate switch system which would allow the railroad company to throw out the injured switch room in sim ilar contingencies. To the Visitors. The promise of the most interest- ing Democratic Convention since that at Charleston in laeo Has brought to our city thousands of vis-i iters.

HENRY W. 7 AFT. toioyer: It. Is the general impression of experienced newspaper managers that lawyers are so shackled by the technicalities of their profession that they are devoid of any sense of what Is connoted by "news value." There Is no doubt truth In this estimate. We do have In the profession men who have a keen sense for "news value" and publicity.

Unfortunately they are sometimes accepted by the press and the laity as leaders of the bar. HOMER FOLKS, secretary of State Vluiritws Aid Association: A terrible loss of life might occur if a fire should get well under way on the Island, especially In the old wooden buildings so closely built together at the City Home. In 1923 more than 2,454 patients were housed there each day. Some of the buildings are filled to capacity with very old and feeble men and women, many of whom are parah-zed deaf or blind. It Is unlikely that ittendants could quiet or carry them all to places of safety, even If the wooden stairways did not burn.

The sum of 151.000 has been spent during the last two years on those old buildings, and it would seem better to replace some of them with modern fireproof pavilions than to continue tp spehd such sums on their repair. Several buildings at the Metropolitan and City Hospitals are similar flretraps. RABBI 8. S. WISE, discussing mod ern marriages: Formerly marriage was entered Into frankly for the sake of a home and.

children. Observe that I use the plural. The old-time union sometimes began with seeming commonplace and ended In high and serene romance. I have caught glimpses of such life atories in reading and rereading old letters. The modern marriage, on the contrary, often begins in seeming romance and ends in the commonplace of strife, breakdown and moral bankruptcv.

Is a debauch of romance, followed by colorless, drab, unromantic flatting out. GEN. HENRY T. ALLEN, V. B.

Youth Drowns at Coney, Woman Bather Missing; Crowds Besiege Buses One of the few Sundays favored with perfect weather which Coney Island ha enjoyed this season was offset by the three-hour tie-up of Brooklyn transit lines. The result was that on a day which should have brought record crowds to the resort only 250,000 pleasure seekers were able to reach the island. Coney Island business men estimated their losses from bad weather and th breakdown at a million dollars.

The only class of caterers who profited by the tie-up were bus own em. The usual price on a fine day a return trip from Manhattan to Coney Island of SI. 60 was quickly discontinued and a straight one-way fare of $1 was charged. Crowds stood In line for place on busen, while at th. two subway terminals ther -ware similar scene when service was resumed after flv o'clock.

highly priced caviar with which the cafes spread amall squares of dry bread and charge a dollar. Th. time was when the sturgeon was the ban. of th. fishermen of the facinc coast.

They were always ngry wnen iney rouna tni nsh in their net, b.cau. it wa powerful and tor thing up ometImea. They did not know It waa filled with a valuable Sppetlzr. so they knocked op th head and let It drift away with th tide.

The Defeat of Jan Smutz. Before the war South Africa was far away and South African poll tics a remote consideration for the rest of the world. It was known that among the few whites in the immense reaches of the last conti nent to be subjected to Caucasian domination the British victory over the Boers had left a political di vision, but the matter was rcgardod as of minor importance. Then came the war, and the question ai to whether or not the Dutih farmers of the old Dutch Republic would side with Germany or with Great Britain became of considerable moment be cause of the territorial considera tions. Then from the obscurity of African politics emerged Jan Smutz, to take his place in the Council of the Empire and win the recognition cf the world as one of the wisest statesmen at Versailles.

Smutz was not unopposed, even in war times. There was a strong Republican Party led by General Hert-zog) and a Labor Party. In 1021, Smutz won a victory in the general elections and had a majority of twenty-four in the Chamber of 134 members. Taxation and economic disturbance, however, reduced the majority at each election until recently the margin obeying Smutz, has been only six. Now the genera'.

elections give the majority to the opposition. It consists of the two elements mentioned. General Hert-zog, an able and dashing leader, ia at the head of the Nationalists, and Colonel Crcswell leads the Socialists. Smutz has sustained a severe loss in the death of the heroic Boer leader, Louis Botha, who had a magnetic personality which the intellectual Smutz does not possess. In order to win their victory the two parties now in control have been compelled to surrender, each its main policies.

Both will work at present for changes fn economic and tax legislation. Hertzog says the question of separation from Great Britain will not bo taken up for five. years, and that it will then be sub' mitted to a popular vote. Mean while the African Free State under its new government will go on within the Empire. The Inland Waterway.

Coney Island was at one time an island. The filling' in of the creek which separated the sand dunes from the mainland in times before Presi dent Riegelmann adopted the resort, cut off what connection by water there was between Gravesend' Bay and Sheepshead Bay. Commissioner Whalen's report to the Board of Estimate indicates that some day, it may be near or remote, Coney Inl and will bo an island again. The report was made in response the inquiry marie by Lieutenant-Colonel J. Slattery, District Engineer, United States Army, who requested to be advised, if the Congress should adopt a project for the improvement- of this waterway, (1) whether it would be possible for the city to provide a 400-foot right of way and suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material, and (2) arrange for the necessary alterations of bridges in time for the work be undertaken on June 1, 1925.

Mr. Whalen says that the Harway Avenue Bridge, the Shell Road Bridge and the wooden bridge at the foot of Ocean avenue would have to be widened and extended, and other bridges would have to be built, notably one at the foot of Ocran Parkway, which would involve an expenditure by the city of He says in reply to the question of the army engineer that it would take eighteen months for construction after the approval of the expenditure by the Board of Estimate. There are two important questions interesting Brooklynites. One is as to the width of the channel. The army report is for a canal four hundred feet in width.

The second is as to whether the city can afford this sum of money. The benefits of an inland waterway are well known. By connecting GraTesend Bay with Sheepshead and Jamaica Bays the Government would make a navigable waterway from Lake Erie to the Western end of Longr Island. It has been contended for long by the Waterways League that this would be beneficial to the whole State. Probably it would.

In any event, when Canada is engaging tho United States in the St Lawrence waterways project, this Improve ment ought not to be neglected.

By JOE SirrCHELL CHAPPLE. During the World War there was one name that represented high authority In the Wllsonian administration. Bernard Mannes Baruch, of New York City, as a member ofVhc Advisory Committee of National Defense, and Chairman of tho Committee on Raw Materials on the War Industrie Board, had an authority not surpassed byany one man, ex, cepting the President of the United States. As Chairman of the War Industries Board, in that eventful year of 1918, he made a study of ensentials and non-essentials an opportunity rarely given one man. A man with prematurely gray hair, devoted to his whito-haired mother, Bernard Baruch Is a familiar figure in New York City where he was born In ,1869.

For many years a member of the New York Stock Ex- cnange ne later became a well- known figure In Washington during the war. When Barney Baruch decided a matter in those days it was about the last word, for he was one of th. close advisors of the late President Woodrow Wilson. Being a member of the Conference on Capital and Labor and various other organizations to study agricultural conditions led him to write many articles and pamphlets on the problems of the farmer. Naturally he will be connpicuotm in the reunion at Madison Square Garden of the Democrats identified with tha war administration, who still bfivA nopes or being recalled to office.

Barney Baruch has often v. pressed his desire to alleviate the desperate condition of the farmer. He had made many trips through mo west anu oomn, living on farms, ranches and plantations in order to 'et first hand Information. His experience as a member of the New York Stock Exchange, he has felt worth while to utilize for the benefit of the farmer. "The farm problem Is a question of marketing.

There Is nothing that resembles equity In the present nn. cratlons of selling the farmer's prcd nets." The father of Barney Baruch was a Hurgon in the Confederate Army. When Barney Baruch secured his A. B. from the College of the' City of New York, In 1889, he was encouraged by hla father to make a study of politics.

Level-headed, Barney Baruch I counted an Influence wherever Democrat gather, and hi association with the American Commission to negotiate peace and the drafting of economic section makes him a ituer in aeierminmg to. democratic Famous Pcopl Ja Mltohatl Chappl. BERNARD I1ARUOH soya: "Something tolls me that 102 going to sco tlio name and poll of Woodrow Wilson fully vlndlct by tlio people' policy on foreign market relatl In tha gathering of the old guard, faithfuls and true, to lau another Democratic campaign, man who participated In the Wilson victories will be sought counsel.

My Judgn is that the time has come fo change back to the party that of ducted the war to complete the of readjustment." Woodrow Wilson could always pend upon Barney Baruch, of York, who In a.

way supplanted K. M.
