WORE ONE OF UNIFORMS Trolley Station on Bridge Public Service Commission Will Hold Hearing Next Wedneeday on Application. Long Island City, Jan. 1 1 The Queens Chamber of Commerce lias been notified by the Department of Plant and Structures that a public hearing will be held by the Public Service Commission, Wednesday afternoon, to determine whether a trolley station should be located on the Queensboro Bridge over Blackwells Island. Walter J.

Willis, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, recently suggested that If the trolley cars of the three lines, operating across the Queensboro Bridge, are to stop at the new storage house which has recently been completed on Blackwells Island, Just north of the bridge, that a passageway be constructed underneath the bridge roadway so that passengers on trolleys coming from Manhattan will not be compelled to cross ths roadway of the bridge through the dangerous vehicular traffic in order to reach the elevators In the storage house. The roadway of the Queensboro Bridge is now fifty-two feet in width the widest roadway of any bridge In New York City. It has recently been repaved and has become the most popular artery of travel from Manhattan to Queens Borough and Long Island. The enormous growth of the vehicular traffic across the bridge In a twenty-four hour period is shown by comparing the traffic count taken on December 7, 1916, when 9,868 vehicles used the bridge, with the count on October 25. 1917, when 13,431, vehicles crossed.

This was an Increase of approximately forty per cent In one year. CAPT. JJ. PERRY DIES IN FRANCE Elmhurst Youth Is Victim of Cerebro Meningitis. Elmhurst, Jan 3.

She kept silent hitherto.

she said, because she was afraid there might be an official Investigation that would result In trouble for somebody because 01 her eight-day 'rip on the troop train Now, with tier husband and his regiment In France she feels free to discuss the trip. She Is living in Jamaica. Her husband was a member of Company Second Washington Infantry when It was mustered Into the Federal service and became part of the Rainbow Division Mr and Mrs. furphy were married last April. Viren the regiment was ordered to Camp Mills, near Mlneola, Mrs.

Murphy decided that she Just couldn't ho separated from her husband She "vent to the railroad station in Seattle, ostensibly to bid him farewell, tit, just before the train pulled out. fhe slipped aboard the cook par and 'nfo one of her husband's uniforms Tor eight days, while the train was on Rattray to New York, Mrs Murphy ooled officers and men aboard all, hat Is, but a few. Officers frequently passed through the cook car. hut Irs. Murphy, with a military uniform i and the regulation hat pulled down ever her head, was always reading 1 newspaper, or else managed to turn her back and glance out of a window -Ust in time.

She says she is quite jure one of the highest officers aboard the train "caught on," after his eagle ye had pierced her dlsgul.se. but. no 'natter what he may have surmised, he never becamo "onicmlly Informed" the presence of an attractive young among his troopers, and what 5 did not know officially apparently never troubled him. The other cooks who prepared the meals for the Washington guardsmen I'ero, of course, let Into the secret, but llrs. Murphys charm soon made them 1 er "pals, and not one would have thought of divulging the secret.

Everyone treated me like a queen," laid Mrs. Murphy today. "No body 1 men could have been kinder. Of caurse, I didn't come in contact with 'ery many, for I kept pretty close the cook door, but a lot of tho soldiers had occasion to pass through ur car, and most of them were com-1 lately fooled. Several remarked pon what a young looking soldier I 'as, and one colored porter told me I had a face as smooth as a girl's I made friends with all the men who i new I was Betty Murphy, and they 1 il acted like the perfect gontlemen ley were.

"If I happened to be In another nr, as I sometimes was when 1 went i a wash room, I would run back 0 the cook car If I heard soldiers In notber part of the car start to cuss, 1 ut didnt have to do that very often. usually slept during tho day in 1 ty husbands berth, when more of ho soldiers were about the cook car, and at night I dressed up in my hus-I ends uniform and sat In his car. fines or twice, when we were at a nation, I ventured out for a little air, 1 luff led up in my husband's overcoat vith the collar turned up and his hat ulled down. When the troop train finally -ached the railroad yards at Bay Mrs. Murphy, in her own tlothes, ventured out and started to njoy a lively ball game with her ushand and his companions.

The yardmaster came along and oaught I er, and she thought her trip was to te terminated then and there. But is discovery tukied ont to he a bless-llg in disguise. The yardmaster, heodore V. Kendal, of 10 Globe ave- ue, Jamaica. Informed Mrs Murphy the couldntt continue the trip In the 1 'OOP train, but he told her JuBt how tj travel the show remaining distance Camp Mills, ihjd, what was still I ettor, he told after he had been 1 llroduced to her husband and talked ith him, that she might rent a room f-om his wife and live In Jamaica 1 hlle her husband was at camp.

Ctalma Institutions Could So Closed Until There le Enough to Supply Homes. Amityville, Jan. J. Charles F. Delano, editor of tho Amityville Record, has written a letter to the Board of Education suggesting a way to relieve the precarious condition In this village caused by the shortage of coal.

He suggests that the Board close the school until the coal situation Is relieved and sell the coal In the cellar of the school to those who are In dire need of It, and to whom a few days more delay will mean an actual condition of freezing for want of It. Mr. Delano argues that the few days lost by closing the school can be made up later. If necessary, but that people cannot allow their families to freeze, especially when there 1b In the neighborhood of two hundred tons of coal In the school house collar. He claims that the people own the coal, and that In such dire and unprecedented straits as many of them are now in, they have a right to have it apportioned among them to tide them over until tho local dealers can got a supply on hand.

The situation la desperate with many In this village. In many cases the forced economical use of the coal until more Is In sight, has caused the water to freeze In many houses with up-to-date plumbing and heating apparatus In them. It Is doubtful that, the four coal yards In Amityville have more than fifty tons on hand between them, and that Is practloally all pea coal, and it Is being dealt out only In small quantities to those families who are In most need of it, and to those who have children or sickness There Is no nut, stove or furnace coal to be hand, and the pea coal Is practlcnlly useless Cor those who have furnaces In their houses, as-the grates will not hold It. Mr Delano's Idea is meeting with a lot of approval already, and one business man told the writer that he thought the Board should act on the suggestion and also give the coal to the people at cost.
