James w. Amber of the public service
commission. at the Y. NJ. c. A. parlors
here, heard the complaint of DR.. May
nard j. Simmons of South Cumberland,
lately of Washington, D. c.. against the
Cumberland electric railway, Of which
ex-senator George l.. Wellington Is presi-
dent, involving the alleged refusal to is
sue transfers to and from the new
Thomas street line. recently opened.
This line to some extent parallels the
old line to South Cumberland. Some Wit
nesses testified that it was necessary to
pay two fares for a very short ride, be-
cause no transfer would be granted. The
street car people declared they were taken
by surpr Sc by some Of the demands and
objections which were not detailed In the
