Municipal Court Justice H.

Joseph and other well known Jewish citizens, together with thirty first clasp passengers aboard the Bleucher. Of the Hamburg- American which docked yesterday, made a formal protest to the company against the treatment of a Jewish immigrant in the steerage during- the voyage. The protest, drafted in the form of a resolution, was presented to Julius Meyer, manager of the Hamburg-American Line, who happened to at the pier when the liner docked. It appear? that during the voyage an aged Jew Ml immigrant was praying in the steerage. A boatswain saw him at his devotions and ridiculed him.

accompanying the ridicule with insulting epithets. The ship's rook, who Is of Hebrew origin, overhearing the boatswain's remarks, protested. The boatswain is said to have told him to keep inside his cabin. It is alleged that the boatswain continued his ridicule of the Hebrew at every opportunity. day the cook rushed out and struck the boatswain a terrific blow, staggering him.

The boatswain struck back, and both fought vigorously until separated. The affair reached Captain G. Reessing's ear. but he paid little attention to it. when the boatswain persisted in annoying the Jewish Immigrants, a committee of the steerage passenger? sent for him.

He heard their protest, but it is said the boatswain still persisted in his abuse. The affair finally reached the ears of the first cabin passengers, among whom were Justice Joseph R. Krakauer. Dr. Flschlowitz.

H. S. Mach and H. Oppenheimer Justice Joseph, who wee particularly indignant at the treatment accorded the aged Jew. with the others, instituted an investigation, and found, they say.

that Jewish immigrants are subjected to ridicule on every ship, especially those travelling by steerage. "As soon as we heard this Infamous treatment." he paid, "we went to the captain and laid the cape before him. It did not reach our ears until we were nearly home, but we lost no time in taking action. We notified the captain, and he said he would Investigate. But we want the company to know what's going on in the steerage, and for that purpose we drafted a resolution protesting against the annoyances our coreligionists are subjected to in the steerage." "When Mr.

Meyer heard of the incident he assured Justice Joseph he would make a rigid investigation. He will ask Captain Reessiner to explain why Immigrants should be annoyed. He assured the committee that he would notify the German Consul at once, and have him take any action he saw fit In the matter. OILIXG CARTFACKS. B.

NEW LI. LINES EXPECTED. Man ft peculations Over Result of New Tunnel 8 and Bridge. Property owners in the Borough of Queens are (struggling to learn what new lines of transportation are to result from the building of the Pennsylvania and Belmont tunnels and the Blarkwell's Island Bridge. Recent sales of land are taken as an indication that many new routes are to be opened within a few years The Blackwell'j Island Bridge ip to have facilities for train? and trolleys, hut whether Manhattan lines will cross the bridge or Queens Borough lines enter Manhattan no one seems to know.

A few days ago it was announced that an application would be made to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for a franchise to run a road from the Manhattan terminal of the bridge to Little Neck and Oyster Bay. No one Identified with the Long Island Railroad or the New-York and Queens County Railway Company knows anything about the corporation that is to s-eek the new franchise. The company is described as the Long Island Railroad Company. Coincident with that announcement work beean to restore the right of way of the old A T. Stewart railroad, which ran from WmfieM to Flushing and then along the backbone of Long Island to Garden City and Babylon.

The old road is owned by the Long: Island Railroad Company, but its officials deny that it Is to be restored. They state that the right of way is being cleared up and Is to be fenced in under a new law requiring railroad corporations to protect such rights. A large quantity of new rails arrived at Flushing a few days ago, and were delivered along the line of the Stewart road in that place, and prill the railroad officials deny that the line is to be rebuilt There ip talk In the Borough of Queens that the Stewart road is to be rebuilt and equipped with electricity and used as a line to run to Belmon? Park, the new racetrack built near Queens. Many property owners believe that, despite denials, the Long Island Railroad hap some plan to restore Stewart road in connection with their other branches Purchases of unimproved property near the Long Island City terminus of the bridge indicate that the land is for railroad purposes, for options have been obtained on a strip extending some distance out into the borough in a direct line from the bridge. Frederick A.

Phelps is the representative of the syndicate acquiring the land There are those interested in the development of Queen? Borough transportation facilities who are willing- to believe that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Is In the deal to get a line over the BlackwelTs Island Bridge. That company has two linesone at and Bradley in the Blissville section of Long- Island City, and the other at Penny Bridge, in Laurel Hill, and it would not be hard to acquire a private rieht of way to extend the tracks of both to Thomson-aye. and Van where the viaduct extension of the Blackwell's Island bridge is to end. All the unimproved property in that section has recently changed hands or Is held under options. The Belmont syndicate has for some time been tryine to (ret consents for a trolley line in City, and the Hoffman Boulevard, in Newtown.

That would give them a short route to Jamaica, the Hoffman Boulevard beine an extension of Thomson-aye. and extending to Jamaica. Some years ago there was a movement to build a Steam railroad along the north shore of Long Island from Astoria to Northport. The scheme was. however, abandoned.

The proposed route of the road from the Manhattan terminal of the bridge la about the same as that mapped out for the old project. REAL RESCUE AT SHOW. Child in Dangerous Place at "Fire and Flames."
