GRAFT IN TRANSFERS.
Trade in Rights to Ride Carried on in
New York

NEW YORK, December 21.-"To the pub
lie: Commencing Tuesday, January 1, 1907,
the giving out of transfers by agents on
the streets will be discontinued
Owing largely to wholesale traff1cing in
transfers by dishonest men and women
disclosed by his investigations, Oren Root,
jr., vice president and general manager of
the New York city railway lad the above
notice posted yesterday In all cars of the
company.
1--WE have found" said dr Root last
night, that dishonest persons not only seek
to obtain transfers to which they are not
entitled, but use them as a medium of ex-
change for newspapers, shoe shines, to-
bacco and even beer and dairy products. At
first an effort was made to run down the
shopkeepers and patrons of the road who
were guilty Of this violation of the transfer
law. but we found that little Roadway could
be made by prosecuting these persons indi-
vidually, and we have been forced to do
away with transfer agents.
The investigation made by men employed
by the company reveals a remarkable state
of affairs. In one saloon on ID avenue the
price of beer was four cents and a transfer.
A thirsty patron of the saloon who pos
sessed a lone nickel for carfare was given
! a glass OF beer and a transfer in exchange
for the five cents. In one case the COM
pany succeeded in having the bartender
convinced.
The investigators also disccXered a dairy
concern Wh1ch gave as premiums one trans
fer with bottle of milk and two with a
bottle of cream. The small tradesmen-
| boot blacks, tobacconists and news dealers
who do a profitable business in transfers
are numbefless.
Under present conditions where transfers
are issued by conductors as well as by
agents on the street 1t is a simple matter
for a passenger to get two transfers. On
payment of his fare he may get one from
the conductor and then another at the next
point where an agent is stationed.
still larger class of offenders are those
who secure transfers from the agents when
they are not entitled to them. There is
hardly period In the day when the trans
fer agent at busy point is not engaged in
dispute with some person who declares he
or she has just alighted from car, and
consequently demands q transfer.
