VREELAND WILL APPEAL.
Refuses Transfers at Some Points to
SaUe Likes, He Says.

II. H Vreeand. president OF the Interurhan
Street Railway Company. said yesterday that coun-
sci for the company would appeal from the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court in the Topham case,
and that in all probability the appeal would be
argued in February. This is the in which
the company got decision in its favor in district
court when sued by passenger to whom trans
fer had been refused The Appellate Term OF the
Supreme Court reversed the decision. Regarding
the transfer litigation Mr. Vreeland said:
When the Metropolitan Street Railway Company
established practically universal transfer system
granting Of such a privilege would be a menace TO
life and limb OF these excluded points the inter
section of Twenty third-st; and Broadway and that

and probably in loss OF life. The company's policy

Mr.. vreeland said that the company had estab-
lshed four hundred points OF transfer in Manhat-
tan. and had continued all those transfers for the
public accommodation. although at 10 points the
company was in no way required by law to have
any transfers. The 125 points he mentioned
at the intersection Of lines owned by the Metro
politan system with leased lines in Fulton. TWEEN
ty-eighth. Twenty-ninth. Thrty-fourth and Forty
second SITS. and Mr. Vreeland said the latter lines
still controlled by their own boards Of direc-
tors. although nominally a part of the Interurban
system.
James S. Lehmaer. chairman OF the executive
and law committees of the Transit Reform Com
mittee Of one Hundred. said last evening:

Some of these boats. the letter claims, too
large for the requirements OF the trade others
on routes from which they cannot be spared, still
others too old. and few are described as tank
steamers entirely unsuitable for Philippine trade
The committee says that what il demanded for
this trade is a feet of steamers having a carrying
capacity OF from 1909 TO 600 tons. The Senate
committee is asked to bear in mind that mere
suficiency Of tonnage would not be warrant for
the enactment of such legislation, because, IL is
claimed the Of bare sufticiency of tonnage

maintain an exorbitant tariff freight. and thus
limit the commerce between the Philippines and
