CITIZENS THREATEN
TO END SKIP-STOPS
AFTER BOY IS KILLED
People Roused After Sec

Death
UNITED BUSINESSMEN
MAY FILE COMPLAINT
May6r Declared Able lo Abol
ish Plan if He
Wishes
"Cars MUST Stop Here." hay tho
people who live near Sixtieth street
and Larchwood avenue. Tho point Is
a P. n. T. "skip-stop."
Simon Brodsky, nine years old. of
45 South Sixtieth street, was Wiled
by a "skipping" trolley car a few
feet from the Intersection last night.
The killing ot tho hoy has precipi
tated a flniah fight against the skip
atop system by business organizations
and residents of several sections ot
tho city.
. Householders iri the neighborhood
declare they will tear down tho "Cars
Do Not Stop Hero" sign and erect a
wooden sign Instead, with the order
"Cars MUST Stop Here." Motormen
will disobey tho order at their own
risk, say the citizens.
The United Business Men's Associa
tion, as soon as a meeting of the
board of directors can be held, Is ex
pected to lay a formal complaint
against the skip-stops before the Pub
lic Service Commission,
Coroner Knight, who has In vain de
manded that tho P. R. T. abolish the
skip-stops, says that a "public up
heaval" alone will bring the company
to terms, and advises that all the
city's business associations get into
tho light.
Lawyers say Mayor Smith has the
l)ower to end the skip-stops by exer
cise of his police power.
It has been suggested also that
Councils pass an' ordinance compelling
the cars to run at a safe rate of speed
and to stop at all main street cross
ings under penalty of a line to. bo
levied on the motorman.
Second Death in Week
Simon Brodsky's death was the sec
' ond to occur-'wlthln a week-l!LSl::-tleth
street near Larchwood avenue.
John P. Kallon, a contractor, who
lives at 449 South Sixtieth street, pick
ed up the dead boy and carried the
body Into Ills' garage.
Fallon described tho accident today.
He declared that the boy had attempt
ed to cross the street, and was on
the track when he saw a car coming
In the opposite direction from that of
tho car which killed him. The child
threw up his hands to warn the motor
man. The oncoming car was then at the
far side of Larchwood avenue, said
Fallon. This Is a 30;foot street. The
boy was about tlfty-elglit feet beyond
tho street Intersection. That Is to
say, according to measurements which
Fallon mado with a steel tapo this
morning, the car had eighty-eight feet
to go before it struck the boy.
After the boy was ground under the
who'els, still, acordlng to Fallon's state
ment, the car continued for a dis
tance of 101 feet.
.Business Men Aroused
The United Business Men's Associa
tion, aroused by the death of Brodsky
boy, will set Into the first against
tho skip-stop at the next meeting of
It's board of directors. ,
.Charles H. von Tagen, member of
Councils and secretary of the associ
ation, said today that he would take
tho matter up at the next meeting of
the board, which will be held on Tues
day, and also at tho next general meet
ing of the organization, a week from
today.
Councilman von Tagen expressed
Indignation at the many deaths blamed
on the skip-stop.
"I am absolutely against It," ho said.
"If I had not been so busy In Coun
cils with other matters lately I would
have gone Into the matter before this.
'"I bellevo it would be In the power
of the Mayor, through the Depart-
mentot Public Safety, to order the
transit company to cut out the tklp
stops." "Up to the People"
power to do." said Coroner Knight to
day. "I liave called the transit com
pany's attention to the many acci
dents.'Iand' have suggested that the
skip-stop system he abolished now that
the war need for It Is over. They have
jiot followed my suggestion. It Is up
to tho people of this city nnd to the
business men's associations tor get into
the fight and compel tho company to
abolish skip-stops"
Angered -residents of that sectron
rioted last night, when tho Brodsky
boy was crushed to death. Ties were
piled "up on the trolley tracks, the
motorman' pf the car that killed the
Brodsky boy had to be rescued by
the police and .for two hours hundreds
of men and women stormed and fumed
an henped maledictions on the deadly
"skip' system.

New York Paper's Interview Says

ROB WAR HERO'S STORE
Negroes Break Window Where
Picture of Owner Is Displayed
The nlcture of a soldier who gave
valuable aid In the war against the
boche did not deter four unpatriotic
thieves who robbed tho store of A. G.
Corrsln, 1403 South htreet, early today.
Corrsln Is in the United States army
and ha.s given a good account of him
self. His picture is In tho window and
under It a placard announcing that he
has gone to war. .
Pour negroes smashed the plate-glass
window with a brick, took several wom
en's coats and a quantity of other arti
cles valued at J200. They did not dis
turb the picture. Kvldently they had a
alight pang of conscience In robbing the
home of a soldier on Thanksgiving morn.
Nevertheless, they kept the loot.
Policeman Hogan, of the Twelfth and
Pine streets station, heard the crash and
saw the negroes running away. He flred
several shots and compelled the thieves
to drop two of the coats. The' negroes
escaped.
KAISER IN ALLIED REACH
Has Committed Extraditable
Crimes, French Expert Asserts
Purlo, Nov. 28. (Uy A. P.) William
Hohcnzollern can be extradited, in the
opinion of Professor Barthclemy, of the
ParlH law faculty, who explains that
his guiding principle is that, when there
is an apparent conflict between law and
common sense, the solution is always
found by following the latter.
The theory that a political crime Is
any crlmo inspired by purely political
motives, the professor declares, has long
been abandoned, ik notes' that Belgium
In 1856 classed regicides among common
law criminals. Crimes such as the as
sassinations of President Carnot of
France nnd King Humbert of ltajy,
were Inspired by political motives, he
points out, and yet the authors of them
wero executed. '
The atrocities ordered by former Em
peror William, the professor continues,
are condemned even in a state of war
by International law alid constitute
common law crimes. To maintain that
they are not because the object for
which they were committed was politi
cal Is, ho argues, an absurdity,

Did the liolshevikl execute the Czar

Here at likaterinburg I have been
through the house where he Is hup
posed to havo been killed, and have I
talked with many inhabitants and for- .
elgiicrs. Nunc possehsed proof that
the family wero executed. There is

Prominent Kkaterinburg citizens
will not state that the Czar was killed
because they have doubts.
Tho owner of the house where tho
family wero imprisoned does not
know.
On the other hand, there are bullet
holes In the walls of a liasement room
and there Is the Dolshevlst ofllcial
statement that the family were exe

Facts which I havo gathered from
various sources and my observations
In the Czar's house follow:
On April 25 tho Bolshevist com
mander called upon Nicholas Ipadeff,
a Russian engineer and owner of a
large, palltlal residence, nnd ordered
him to move Immediately, The fol
lowing day u high board fence was
built around the ono-story structure.
The Czar and Czarina and their
daughter Mary arrived from Tobolsk
by boat, accompanied by n Russian
physician. Doctor Derecenko, valet,
and one maid, Several days later a
physician, Bodkin, came with tho
Czarevitch and the three other daugh
ters. They wero Imprisoned In Ipa
defTs house under guard of thirty-two
Bolshevist soldiers nnd worhtngmen
from nearby factories until the night
of July 16.
