tros and operates the street surface railway lines

Eghth-ave, were before the Court OF Appeals to-
Gay in argument appeal The applicant IA the
proceedings is James s. Lehmaier chairman OF a
citizens committee composed OF residents OF the
territory OF the borough which would be affected
by free transfer system at that point
The contention that transfers should be given at
this point is based Section 104 of the Railroad
law. which relates the leasing OF companies The
points which the appellant relies for reversal Of
the decisions OF the courts below are first that the
true construction Of the statutes gives TO the pub
lie the right to free transfer the railroad lines
at the point involved In the controversy, and i'm
poses the respondent the duty TO recognize that
right; second. that the statute. so applied is
constitutional; third that II the Attorney General
We're the relator he would be entitled TO a man
damus compelling the railroad company to issue
transfer. and, fourth, that private citizen. re-
latOr. Is equally entitled 10 represent the public
IN an application OF this character.

RESULT OF TRIBUNE WORK
ASsembIyman Nezrcomb Introduces
Bill against InstaIment "Sharhfs.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TEIBUSE.I

Albany jan 1.-THE fight conducted by The
Tribune. together with the Legal Aid Society,
against the instaIrnent "sharks and the city mar
shals who were allied with them, has found a per-
manent result in three measures introduced to-
day In the Assembly by Josiah T. Newcomb. OF
the XXIIId Assembly District who has been In
terested IN the work OF The Tribune and is now
acting for the Legal AID Society in measure.
although the bills drawn by him personally.
Two of Mr.. Newcomb's measures are Of great
importance. One provides that @ precept-that is,
order issued in a dispossess case for the de-
PENDANT TO appear in court-can only be served by
city marshal. The only Limitation is in the
case Of precept returnable In less than three
days, when the marshal may delegate his powers
In writing TO person over eighteen years or
age. In this instance however. the authorization
must be filed with the clerk of the court together
with affidavit Of service
The second measure. which IS also O. code amend
me1t provides that no person not city marshal
shall represent himself to the public as such or
perform the duties OF marshal, exhibit the
words 'Marshal's Bureau" any words which
may lead the public to believe that he Is mar
shall. and, further. that marshal is to be allowed
to permit any person to perform any act In his
name. TO this latter amendment is attached a
demeanor punishable by imprisonment for term
not exceeding one month or a fine of not more than
vt The Latter b ' will mac law B Pr
The Tribune exposed at the time of its agitation
against them Numbers Of physically powerful
noininally In the employ of city marshals. They
wore badges of imposing size. bearing legends such
Washington Marshal" Jefferson Marshal
and similar devices. and operated among the poor
Italian victims OF the instalment Sharks causing
terror with the appearance Of city police powers.
Not less important Is the code amendment about
the serving Of pTecepts. The matter OF service has
been ono of the most fragrant abuses on the East
Side Hundreds Of men have been employed solely
legalzing dspossess proceedings OF the most abom-
Unable character. Mr. Newcomb's measure puts
the service before the marshal in fashion which
puts the responsibility on him in manner that
he cannot
In discussing his two bills. Mr.. Newcomb to-
day recalled the fight made by The Tribune TO
cure the punishment Of offenders and the sup
preston OF the abuses which occur only the
lower East Side and among the most ignorant OF
the foreign popula ton.
