TWO FARE RULING REVERSED.
No Penalty Comes to the Mar Who Paid
Twice on Sixth Avenue.

By a majority Of three TO two the Appel
late Division Of the Supreme Court reversed
Yesterday a Judgment obtained by Samuel
Baron against the New York City Railway
Company for a $50 penalty because Of the
company's failure to give him a continuous
trip over it's ines to his destination for a
single fare.
Al the same time four Of the five Justices
are OF the opinion that the passenger has a
right to a continuous trip and that there
fusal to give Baron a transfer 10 the car
behind was a practical violation OF the
railroad law. Justice Ingraham alone holds
that the passenger lie not necessarily entitled
TO a transfer.
Baron boarded a s%outhbound Sixth
avenue car which was switched uptown at
Fourth street. He wanted to go to a point
below Fourth street. but a transfer to an
other car was refused. He got a penalty
Judgment in the Municipal Court, which was
affirmed by the Appellate Term. When the
case came before the Appellate Division
LAWYER Quackenbush, for the railroad.
urged that the Court express it's opinion, re-
gardless Of any technical questions, upon
the right Of the company TO refuse TO trans
port a passenger who had boarded a short
service car from the terminus Of such cars
route to his destination. upon a following
car. without the eIaction Of another fare.
Justice lngraham holds that in any event
Baron is not entitled TO a penalty because
the section prescribing penalties relates
only to cases where transfers are refused to
lea sed lines. Justices Laughlin and Lam
bert concur in this and therefore a re-
versal is ordered.
But Justice lngraham goes further n
SAYS that he knows OF no law that requires
every car 20 run over the whole OF a line,
and that il Ia evident that some cars must
I've started or stopped at various points TO
meet the public necessity, and that the pas
senger must himself learn the cars destina-
ton when boarding 1t.
N Justices Lambert and Laushlin think
that where a passenger knowingly boards
a short service car further transportation
for a single fare may properly be refused
by the company, but in every case the COM
pany should be required TO give actual
notice TO the passenger before he pays his
fare.
Justices Scott and Clarke, on the other
hand, are very decided that the underlying
purpose Of all the legislation oil the subject,
namely that q continuous trip TO ones
destination should be bad for q single fare
should be upheld vigorously by the eourts.

EQUITABLE LOSES SUIT.
Massachusetts Supreme Court Decides
Semi.TOntine Endowment Liability.

Observation-Disclosures supp NV eoutN ENtNlt
Semi.TOntine Endowment Liability.
Boston, June 1.-THE full bench OF the
Supreme Court decided to-day that the
court has and will take jurisdiction OF a bill
in equity by a single Massachusetts policy
holder for an accounting against the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society OF the United
States for his share Of the tontine funds
OF the society applicable TO his semi-tontine
endowment policy.
This decision was sent down in the suit
OF George Gorham Peters Of this city, who
brought such a bill against the Equitable.
He holds a semi-tontine endowment policy
of $25, 600. The tontine period Of his policy
expired in 1905 and being dissatisfied with
the share OF the tontine funds allotted to
him he went into the Supreme Court.
The Equitable at first wanted his bill in
equity dismissed. II denied hat the
courts Of this State had any jurisdiction.
1t further said the nature of the inquiry to
determine the shares OF Peters and the
other ~policyholders involves the task OF the
society again going over the surplus Of
$6s, 475, 1872 which it had when his tontine
period ran out. To accomplish this task
would cost not less than $50 900 and take a
big force Of clerks from six to nine months.
However, the court holds that the rela-
ton between the two is that OF debtor and
creditor and not that of a member of q
mutual insurance company and the mutual
insurance ompany itself.

TREAsURE HUNT UNDER ga.
American Divers Back From HGyti-NO
Geld where II Should Have Been.

American UiveEp .ho6A from
Geld Where II should Have Been.
Aboard the Hamburg-American liner
Graecia, in yesterday from the West Indies,
were two adventuresome divers and master
mariners, Simon Grant and John L. MoPher-
son. who spent q large part Of two months
under the surface Of the Bay Of Gonaives
searching for $1,000 In sunken treasure.
chiefly in gold coin. that ven down with
the Haytian gunboat Cret La Perriot five
years ago when her Yankee skipper blew
her up TO prevent her from being captured
by q German warship. That, at least. 10 the
story OF the divers They are employed by
the LarkinB Diving and Wrecking Company
Of Jersey City, which got the job OF trying
TO bring the treasure TO the surface. ,
1t was in ons Of the fortnightly series
Of revolutions that the Haytian gunboat got
into trouble. She held up a German mer-
chairman suspected Of having a cargo Of
arms and ammunition for the side that
wasn't in power. The merchantmen re-
ported the case to tho German Consul in
Hayti and the German gunboat Panther
ran the Haytian warship into the Bay OF
Gonaives. Capt. Oxley Of the Cret La
Perriot suggested that the best way TO avoid
a licking was to blow up the ship. Gun
cotton placed in the stern did the trick. A
Haytian Admiral. a surgeon and most Of the
black crew were drowned. Capt. Oxley
escaped. The ship didn't bother naviga-
ton in the bay, as she was 20 fathoms below
the surface.
The Haytian Government-that is, the
one on deck n~ow-decided that $500 0 might
help to staveo of several revolutions, and en-
gagged the wrecking company to fish for the
bullion.
The divers say they found ten rapid firing
guns OF different light calibre. several hun.
dred rifles and a lot Of ammunition in good
condition, but they found no treasure. They
had a chart OF the ship showing the location
Of the treasure chest in the Admiral's room.
Tit room was u~ndisturbed. but there were
signs that the treasure chest had been re-
moved. The divers wouldn't say that they
suspected any sharp American Of having
organized secretly an expedition, but they
limited hat they believed somebody might
have stolen the chest.
The Haytian Government hasn't given
up the idea Of recovering the gold, The
divers say they will visit the sunken ship
again in the fall. They had several expert
ences with earthquakes while working on
the sea bottom. and they think it not i'm
probable that a severe seismic shake up MAY
have had something to do with knocking
the treasure chest out Of place.

AFTER THE TEN SIS 900 JOBS
No Lack OF Candidates for Places on the
Public UtLn ties Boards.

Public UtiM ties Boards.
Gov. Hughes must appoint the ten mem
bers OF the new Utilities Commission, five
for the territory below and five for the ter
ritory above The Bronx, by July /. when
the law creating the commission is TO be-
come operative. As each day passes there
is eagerness, amounting even to anxiety,
on the part OF all sorts and conditions OF
Republicans to learn the names OF the ap-
pointees, but not an inkling OF the lucky
ones has become public. The ten oom-
m~issioners receive SIS. 900 a year each.
and there are two secretaries at IS 900 a
year each.
1t was learned yesterday that o~nondaga
Republicans believe that by every rule Of
politics they shouldbe entitled to one Of the
commissionerships, and yet Gov. Hughes
has not consulted with Francis Hendricks,
Republican leader Of the county, on the
subject and Mr.. Hendricks has not sug-
gested to the Governor that he would like
to nominate a man for a place on the up
State branch OF the commission or for any
other appointment.
There ave been a number Of central
New Workers suggested for appointment on
the upstate commission. They include
Representative Michael L. Driscoll, Howard
ii. CTOWel, FORMER attorney -Deneral lneO-
dore f. Hancock and c. LOOMS Allen Of
Syracuse; Gas and Electricity Commits
sioner John c. Davis OF Utica and former
Mayor Thomas NJ. Osborne Of Auburn.
Railroad Commissioner Henry n. Rock
well Of Yonkers, according to information
yesterday. believes he is to and on the
utilities commission. AS a matter Of fact.
while it is exceedingly interesting to know
that most OF the present railroad, gas and
electricity commissioner are candidates
for places on the new utilities commission
it was freely stated yesterday hat there
is TO be a new deal all around and that Gov.
Hughes is not to appoint any member Of
the old commissions TO the new commission
Already there are thirty-seven candidates
for the ten commissionerships on the new
utilities commission. At the same time
there are fourteen candidates for the two
secretaryships. Gov. Hughes, it was said
last night, is looking for the very best men
for the ten commissionerships, and, as one
OF the Governors friends remarked. AS |
understand it the Governor is to appoint
men Of experience in corporation law and
men who have had a laudable ambition to
enter public life. not as political hacks nor
as political dilettenti; and the Governor
is not to appoint the sons OF distinguished
fathera
