THE MORNING "OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 13,; 1905.
SUBWAY. IS A SWAMP
New York's Rapid Transit
System Demoralized.
PUMPING OUT BIG TUNNEL
Passengers Suffer Reverse of Pleas
ures of Life In Huge City AVade
Through Tunnel Dodging
Deadly Third Rail.
NEW YORK. June 12.-Under the most
favorable conditions it was admitted by
the management of the subway tonight
that the road, which was blocked yester
day afternoon by the bursting of a water
main at Forty-second street, could hardly
be opened for through traffic before the
rush hours tomorrow morning. During tho
day underground travel was practically
suspended, although some trains we're
run below Fourteenth street and above
the point of blockade, leaving a gap of
over a mile in which the tracks were
under water and the tunnel filled with
the fumes of charred Insulation. Power
ful steam pumps installed yesterday were
still at work tonight nnd had materially
reduced the depth of water, but not suffi
ciently to determine the full extent of the
damage to the roadway.
The few trains that were run were
scantily patronized, and as a result traffic
was diverted to the elevated and surface
lines, whose capacity was taxed to the
utmost. During the afternoon the ele
vated railroad running through Fulton
Station. Brooklyn, was put out of com
mission by an accident similar to the
ono that disabled the subway. Heavy
rains poured such a torrent Into the
subway extension In course of construc
tion in Fulton street, as to threaten the
stability of the pillars of the elevated
structure. Traffic was suspended until
tho flood had subsided.
Water Officials Badly Ilattlcd.
The flow of water on Sunday continued
uninterrupted four and one half hours,
while subalterns of toe city water de
partment wandered about in the vicini
ty of Park avenue and Forty-first
street turning off ono gate nrter an
other in a futile search for the proper
shutoff to stop the destructive flooJ.
Officials of the subway frantically tel
ephoned in all directions, but say they
failed to find anyone in authority with
tho requisite knowledge of the mains.
The damage was finally checked
through information furnished by a
private citizen employed by a contract
ing firm.
It is estimated that the loss to the
subway alone will be 5100,000. Hun
dreds of persons were caught in the
blockaded trains and almost smothered
before they were able to reach fresh
air. by wading throuch IS Inches of
water to the nearest station. Many
women had their clothing practically
ruined by water, which spattered
through the open wlndQws.
There were thousands of persons
waiting along the entire line for trains,
and much time elapsed before news of
tne blockade reached them. Conse
quently, maay travelers bound for the
Grand Central and other railway sta
tions missed their trains out of town.
Disorder at Brooklyn Bridge.
There were scenes of considerable
disorder at thu Brooklyn Bridge sta
tion. Coming from the beaches and
ether resorts, great crowds poured into
the underground stations, and for half
an hour .after the trains stopped they
continued to gather, tickets being sold
as usual. Then tneJigcnts began giv
ing out "blockade transfers," and
guards, were stationed at the entrance
to warn away the would-be passengers,
but the crowds from Coney Island
brushed them aside and continued to
enter. After, much delay a short train
service was established as .far north
as Fourteenth street. To further com
plicate the situation, a car jumped the
track on the spur from the City Hall
to Rector street and blockaded traffic
on that section. It was then found
necessary to close the stations south of
the City Hall.
Unfortunately, for the traveling pub
lic, the subway tracks. Just where the
water main loosed Its torrents are de
pressed four cr five feet below the
average grade and this quickly filled,
making it absolutely necessary to
pump out the tunnel, ns there was no
outlet. A big steam pump was quick
ly rigged, and at an early hour this
morning was slowly gaining on the
water, with the promise that the third
rail would be free in time to permit
operations during the morning rush
down town.
Wading In Dark to Sate'ty.
Persons, who were caught in the
trains noar the flood when the power
failed had a terrifying experience. All
lights were suddenly extinguished, fol
lowing a series of loud explosions.
Meu, women and children, who filleJ
the cars, were thrown Into a panic of
dread as the tunnel suddenly became
Intensely dark. There was a rush for
the doors when water began to spray
through the open windows, but the
guards held their ground and closed
the windows. Tne temperature quickly
became stifling, and finally the guards
weru unceremoniously pushed aside
while the passengers plunged into th
water and made their way to the near
est stations, groping along the walls in
order to avoid tne third-rail current
Hundreds wore afraid, however, to
risk their lives, and workmen were
soon on the spot with lanterns. Tne
faint glow from this source heart
ened the Imprisoned passengers and
oon long lines of the frightened men.
women and children were treading
their way between the rails until the
nearest platforms were reached.
A condition that attracted the at
tention of nearly everyone wno was not
too scared to observe it. was the sud
Jen oppressiveness tnat filled the tun
nel and stifled those In the cars. With
in five minutes after the trains stopped
moving, the temperature appeared to
rise many degrees, until the cars were
like the hotroom In a Turkish bath.
Open windows gave little relief, and
many persons emerged from the sta
tions in a limp -and exhausted condi
tion. "

GO RIGHT TO WORK.
Tax Commission Elects Clyde Atchi
son SccfCtary.
SALEM,- Or., June 12. SpeciaL The
Oregon State Tax Commission held Its
first meeting here today, and organized
by electing F. W. Mulkey. or Portland,
chairman, and Clyde Aitchlson, of Port
land, secretary.
The Commission disposed of a large
amount of business of a preliminary na
ture, showing that it is the Intention
to make a most thorough study of the
subject of assessment and taxation and
prepare a tax code which shall embody
the best that can be obtained after an
investigation of the practical workings
of the tax systems of other states.
The secretary has been Instructed to
secure the tax codes of other states; tho
proceedings of tax commissions in other
states, and any other matter obtainable
touching on the subject, thalt may be o!
use to the Commission. Particular study
will be made of the tax laws of New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illi
nois. Michigan, Minnesota, Delaware, Cal
ifornia. South Carolina and New Jersey.
It will probably take two or three weeks
for the secretary to gather this material
and the Commissioners will not begin
holding regular meetings until then. From
expressions heard at the meeting today,
it is apparent that the members will
give a large portion of their time to the
work of the Commission for the next 12
months, and not, as some have assumed,
leave the work largely to the secretary.
The organization of the "Commission
was accomplished without delay. Just
before 12 o'clock the three members, F.
W. Mulkey. of Portland; Wm. J. Lachncr.
of Baker City, and E. B. Seabrook, of
Marshfield, took the oath of office before
tho Secretary of State, and immediately
met In a room in the rear of the Senate
Chamber. Upon motion of Mr. Lachner.
Mr. Mulkey was chosen chairman. In
accepting the position Mr. Mulkey ex
pressed his gratification over the honor
conferred. Mr. Seabrook was chosen tem
porary secretary.
Before proceeding to elect a secretary,
the Commission discussed the question of
salary. It was the unanimous opinion
that 5100 a month would be a sufficient
compensation and that a competent man
could be secured for that sum. The salary
was fixed accordingly. Four applications
were received, the applicants being Frank
Davey, of Salem; Frank MIddleton, C. C.
Palmer and Clyde Aitchlson. all of Port
land. The recommendations filed wcro
discussed at some length, and a viva voce
vote taken, with the result that Mr.
Lachncr voted for Davcy, and Messrs.
Mulkey and Seabrook for Mr. Aitchlson.
The election of the latter was then made
unanimous.
Mr. Aitchlson Is tax expert in the office
of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company,
of Portland, is a practicing attorney, and
an expert stenographer and typewriter.
He has made a study of the subject of
assessment and taxation, and has quite
a collection of books on the subject.
It being deemed advantageous that the
meetings of the Commission be held in
Portland for some time, It was ordered
that all meetings be held there until
otherwise ordered. The meetings will
probably be held at the call of the chair
man unless adjournment be taken to a
specified date.
The law creating the Commission au
thorizes the summoning of witnesses and
the taking of testimony regarding tax
matters. In order that Investigations
may be conducted systematically, Messrs.
Mulkey and Seabrook were appointed a
committee to draft a set of rules and
regulations governing the procedure and
also the administration work of the Com
mission. The committee will report at
the next meeting.
At
Its meeting today the Commission
did not outline its plan of work, but ad
journed to meet this evening in Mr. Mul
key'B office in Portland, when the matter
will be further discussed. The Commis
sion will study not only the statutory but
the constitutional provisions of other
states on the subject of taxation, and
after getting this material -well in hand,
will hold meetings at which citizens of
Oregon will have an opportunity to pre
sent to the Commission theh views upon
the subjects under consideration. The
assessment and taxation of real property,
personal property, railroads, express, tel
ephone and telegraph companies, fran
chises, inheritances, corporations and the
manner of making assessments, collecting
taxes, making tax sales, etc., will all
come up for consideration.
The Commission must complete its la
bors and file its report not later than
July 1, 1905. Its report, with the tax code
it suggests for adoption, will be pub
lished in pamphlet form for free distribu
tion to the people of Oregon.

on the headland to the Weather Bureau
office here.
District Forecaster Beals nan been

ner were appointed, to call on Mayor
elect Lane at onco and ask that the
portion of Mount Tabor annexed be given
. representative on the Executle Board,
so It will have a representative in the city
government. It Js supposed that the an
nexed district will become a part of the
Efghth wsird, or be made a ward of It
self. President Baker was authorised to ap
pointed a committee to wait on the Water
Beard as soon as possible, and ask that
Bull Run water be provided the people

"I am satisfied that thousands ot
women suffer because they do not
realizo how much they really need,

In consulting a physician.
"I felt badly for years, had ferrlblo
pains, and at- times was unable to at
tend to my dally duties. I tried to cure
myself, but finally my attention was
called to an advertisement of Peruna
in a similar case to mine, and I 'decided
to give it a trial.

I started to uae Perua? and aeoa I was
a well woman. I feel that I ewe my
