Now York, Aug. 14.—With one vic
tim of Brooklyn RapliJ Transit brutal
ity dead, a number In hospitals and
hundreds at their homes suffering
from cuts and bruises, the police to
day had practically 1 gone over bodily
to assist the Rapid Transit Company
lp Its plan to compel the public to pay
an Illegal 10-cent fare to Coney Island.
All night and this morning police
men were on every train and trolley
car coming from Coney Island, and
they aided In Intimidating passengers
and forcing them to pay the fare. The
city police actually took the place of
the Brooklyn Rapid Tranitt Company,
whose licenses had been revoked by
Deputy Commissioner Waldo and help
ed In the work of extortion.
Made Brutal Attacks.
With the exception of the two hours
during which orders from Captain
Harkins, of the Coney Island precinct
that assaults and that throwing of peo
ple from cars must cease, were obeyed,
the police were active In aiding the In
spectors and other Brooklyn Rapid
Transit employees In their brutal at
tacks on men, women and children.
During the lunch hours, the city po-
tlcemen were fed with sandwiches and
iunches provided by the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. Today all pretense of
Impartiality had disappeared and they
were openfy on the side of the Rapid
Transit Company.
1,000 Thrown Off Cars.
This action by the police followed
another day of rioting nnd brutality
during which more than l,©0i) persons
were thrown from cars, and women as
well as men Insulted and beaten, and
more than «00 persons were sidetrack
ed In cars because they had refused to
pay the second fare. With theso hun
dreds suffered those who had paid the
extra fare, but were held because a
few In the same car had refused to pay.
Another Incident of the day was the
finding of the body of Mill ij—gi.
Fannie
Sabrinsky In a creek. Bhe had paid a
second fare, but had been ejected from
the car when It was stalled, anil when
walking to Coney Island was ran down
by a car on a bridge over tne creea
and hurled to death.
It has developed that when reported
to the police that the girl probably had
