MtFD M. APFBN, pf THINK MAN DO SEARCH MADE OF BRICKYARD RUINS FOR BODY OF NEGRO. Farmingdale, July 23. A search Is being made to-day of the rulna of the plant of the Long Island Brick Company for the body df a negro supposed to have perished in a disastrous Are early yesterday. He was employed In the works and slept In the building.

He was not seen after the fire. The blnx started in a two-story brick bulldldg, used- ns a stable, end having ofrtcee in a wing. It waa discovered by John Miller, who lives nearby. Both companies of the Fire Department responded hurriedly, but on arrival found there was no water supply. The flreinen bent their efforts to preventing the spread of the fire.

The Area of the boilers at the power plant and engine-room of the brick plant had been allowed to burn out Saturday afternoon, which accounted for the lack of water. Two horses, valued at $500 each, were burned to death, and Ave others were saved at great risk by employees of the company. The damage Is estimated at 316.000. The cause of the Are is not known. The building was of brick, and was built forty-six years ago by the late A.

T. Stewart. Manhattan merchant. He owned the brickyard for some time before selling It to Martin Meyer, who formed the Queens County Brick Manufacturing Company, and who sold out last year to the Long Island Brick Company. Charles T.

Fisher, of Amltyvtlle, president. This brickyard' 8 the largest on Long Island, and produces over twenty-four million bricks each year. All records were destroyed, except those In a safe In the ofAce. Although, about, $100,000 in surance is carried on the brickyard. It Is'bclieved that no Insurance was carried on the destroyed building.

OlMBPROBE SAYS GRAND JURY FINDING FOR PALMETTO STREET IS DISAPPOINTING. Long Island City, July 23. -Borough President Connolly believes the District Attorneys office did not secure for the people of the Ridgewood section relief from conditions in Palmetto street, concerning which there was an investigation before the Grand Jury last week. The investigation resulted in the handing up of a presentment which criticised officials of the city and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, which operates elevated and surface trollev lines in part of the street. It was directed that the investigation should be continued by tbe next Grand Jury.

President Connolly to-day made the following statement: MI was very much disappointed to learn that the Grand Jury which Investigated conditions now existing Palmetto street had adjourned, making only a presentment in the matter. Of course, they had been In session a long ttme, but I feel had the District Attorney so willed this was the opportunity to take action that would have gone far towardJseUling the rights of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in Palmetto street, and on Intersecting streets. Before entering the Grand Jury room 1 suggested to Mr. OLearys assistant a method which would be productive of result. It seems to have had no effect, however.

What an individual or corporation can be indicted for. on the other hand, can be made the subject, of an investigation before a magistrate, and if the offense be a misdemeanor the Court of Special Sessions can quickly decide the issue. I am going to suggest to the District Attorney that he take this case befor a magistrate, and if he doe not to soj 1 hope some taxpayer will. Jews Raising $100,000.

July 23. Otto H. Kuhn, a clerk in Doolittle's drug store, has been ordered to report to Governors Island on Wednesday for service in the Medical Covps of the aviation section. The Rev.

Regular operator of the Second avenue trams over the extension across the Queensboro Bridge began this morning at 12:01 oclock. All trains on the Second avenue line crossing the Queensboro Bridge will operate over the Astoria extension and a seven-minute headway will be maintained In the future all Queensboro subway trains from Grand Central Station will mn through the Bridge Ilaxa station to Corona, instead of every other train making Astoria its terminal as present. The Bridge Plaza, sdation will, therefore, become the main transfer point lor passenger on the Queensboro subway who wish to go to Aatoria rnd for Second avenue "V' passengers pushing to go to Corona. The operation ot the Second avenue ehvated across the tjueenaboro Bridge. the fifth important link connecting Queens with Manhattan.

Prior to tftoft The only means of direct transportation from Queen Borough to Manhattan waa over the old Long Island Railroad ferry at Thirty-fourth street. Since that time, however, five costly bridges and tunnels hove been opened, which are bringing the vast area of Queens mm closer touch with Manhattan's business sections. The first link was the Queensboro Budge itself for trolley and vehicular traffic in IftOft. The second waa uponed in September. 1910.

This was he Pennsylvania Station and operation of electrified Long Island Railroad trims to all parts of the borough. The third fink was the operation of Mien.boro Subway trains from Grand central Subway Station on June 22, PM5, with free transfers to all parts of the present subway. -o The fourth link was the operation of pavnger traffic across the N. Y. Con-nrcung Bridge at Hell Gate last April, Tho operation of freight service across Cus bridge 'Wdll stft this fall, giving an Rli-rail route between Queens and New England points, saving on an average of Tweniv-four hours on all shipments of freight.

The fifth link Is the operation of the Srond avenue across the Queens-N-ro Bridge, which will bring into close tHH'h the most congested section of the ntv on the East side of Manhattan with the least developed portions of the Borough of Queen. The sixth link will be the operation 'f the B. R. T. train of the Broadway street line through the new innet from Second avenue and Bix-ith street, Manhattan, under the Cast River to the Bridge Plaza station.

This tunnel ia now 35 per cent. 'mpleted and operation is expected in ti fall of 1912. Through the efforts of the Traffic Bu-rf-iu of the Queens Chamber of Commerce the operation of the Second avenue elevated has been hastened by at least two month. When information ns received last March from tha Service Commission that the con-wtion of this extension was de-Qyed by the lack of ties on which to 1 the rails, the Chambers Traffic Bureau stepped in to exjdite the movement of these ties from tho cut-i'Cg mill in the South. Various cars 1 ties were located and movement di--rted by telegraph.

However, freight med everywhere, congested and em-f- rgoes were numerous. The Traffic Bureau, therefore, sent a repreaenta-uve to St. Louis and Memphis where the hulk of the fifty-seven cars were Riranded. These cars were sorted out ff the congestion and hurried East.
