Hedges Permanent Receiver for New
 York Railways Go.
By Associated Press

New York, March 31.-Jobe Hedges, re- gently appointed by Federal Judge Mayer as temporary receiver of the New York Railways company, was named by him today as permanent receiver.
 In making the appointment, Judge Mayer said a thorough investigation of the company, which operates nearly all the surface cars in Manhattan, would be made, and predicted that should an in crease in fares prove necessary "the pub lie. which is fair and reasonable, would support such remedy"
 At. the time the company was placed in a receivers hands, Theodore P. Shonts, it's president, asserted an Scent fare with 3-cent charge for transfers was nee essary to make the lines pay.
