TRANSFER RULE UPHELD.
Appellate Court Says 1t Is Reason

The Appellate Division % the supreme court
handed down a decision yesterday that the RUE
of the New Yorl, City Railway that passengers
waning transfers must ask for them when they
pay their fares IS reasonable. The plalntll
In the original case was J. Ketchnan. who on
July - 1906. boarded an Eighth avenue car at
G0th street and asked for a transfer at 2'th
street which was refused. He obtained judg-
ment OF s62 in the Municipal Court. which was
later affirmed in the Appellate Term. The Ap-
peliate Division now reverses this Judgment and
orders new trial. the appellant to abide the
event. Justice Scott writes the opinion Of the
court. in part as follows:
That a common carrier Of passengers not only
has the right but is bound, to make rules ana
regulations TO insure the safe. effective ana
comfortable operation Of lis corporate business
is undoubted, and it is equally clear that il is
entitled 20 adopt and enforce rules designed TO
protect itself against fraud and impostions.
Proceeding to discuss the specific regulation
in question in the present case. Justice Scott
says that the company is clearly entitled TO pro-
tect itself against dishonest passengers who
might seek to obtain more than one transfer.
Continuing Justice Scott says:
The evidence shows, and common experience
verifies the fact that at certain hours the de-
PENDANTS cars are very crowded, and it would
be an impossible task 10 require conductor TO

Scott in this opinion.

before Judge Mullowny in tho Police
Court this morning 10 answer to the
charge Of larceny. The prisoner was un-
able TO communicate with those in the
court except in the sign language, and
because Of this fact the trial WAS car
ried on in a somewhat unusual manner.
When the charge against him was about
to be read II was given 10 L. II. lie
Fevre, who accompanied the boy ard
acted as his interpreter. Holmes then,

of everything that was said.

prepared. in which he said that he had
only taken the articles stolen for the
purpose of keeping himself alive until
he could get work. He also said that
this was his first offense
