Trolley Lines Plan
Split to Enforce
Transfer Charge
Courts Approval Will Be
Asked to Operate the
9th and 9th Ave. Cars
Independent of System

Free transfers on New York's sur
face lines will soon be as obsolete as
horse cars if the stockholders of the
Eighth and Ninth Avenue lines have
their way Morgan j. O'Brien and
Michel Kirkland, their attorneys, yes
terday began drawing up plans for the
elimination of those lines from the
New York Railways system and for
their operation Independently.
The plan will provide for the pay
ment by passengers of two or three
cents for each transfer, in addition to
the regular fve-cent fare. If the plan
appeals to Federal Judge Julius NJ.
Mayer he has announced that he will
sever the lines from the New York
Railways Company, whose receiver
now is operating them. Such action,
the roads attorneys say, will constitute
the frst step in general move to split
up the clty's transit system into sepa-
rate units, each commanding a nickel
from each passenger and such a sum
tor transfers as may be decided upon
between them.
Goes to Court July 8
Judge Mayer has ordered that the
new plan be submitted to him July 8.
1t is expected by the stockholders and
attorneys of the Eighth and Ninth
Avenue lines that free transfers on
those lines will be abolished within
three days thereafter.
we are drawing up plan whereby
the lines may continue in business and
serve the people," said Mr.. Kirkland.
Last year, under the lessees, the
Eighth Avenue line made about one
half of the rental price, and the Ninth
Avenue line made nothing toward the
rent. The rent is in default, and the
stockholders are unwilling that the
property should accumulate further
Indebtedness as it is daily doing under
the present conditions. We shall pro-
for transfers. Eventually the Madi-
son Avenue and Sixth Avenue lines
will be forced to follow sult and ope-
rate Independently"
Burr and Nixon Await Plan
Mr.. Kirkland said that the Public
Service Commission and William P.
Burr, Corporation Counsel, had sug-
gested that the poor showing of the
roads might have been due to the in
creased cost Of materials and labor
incident to the war; and had urged that
no change In management be made un-
TIL 1t had been established that, even
with the reduced costs of operation
which arc considered likely following
the declaration Of peace, the roads
could not be operated at a profit on
the present fare basis
II do not know what l can do to pre-
vent this hardship of increased fare
being put upon the people," said Cor
poration Counsel Burr yesterday.

Freeing oman
Assails' Police
Says Manner of Detective
Cassidy Was More indie.
cent Than Anything Pris-
oner Could Have Done

Judge Wadhams, in General Soc
siohs yesterday, after characterizing
the manner in which Detective Cassidy
arrested Mrs. Louise Hutchins as
much more indecent than ANYTHING
the woman could have committed re-
versed her conviction by Magistrate
Cobb and completely exoneratcd her
OF the charge of dsorderly conduct
lie also directed that the attention of
the Police Commiss soner be called TO
the conduct of Detective Cassidy. who
is on Inspector Henry's staff.
Mrs. Huchins was arrsted on Janu-
ary 10, and was convicted before
Magistrate Cobb on the detectives nm
supported testimony. In her own de-
renee the prisoner said she was a resi-
dent OF New Haven, but was stavinq at
present in this city She is widow
ana the mother of a nlne-year-old bow.
She told the magistrate she was a
dramatic reader and was at work here
preparing entertainments for the Brit
lsh troops. In connection with her
Uoik' she SAID, she met major of the
brltlsh army and was invited to din
ner with him on the night of ,yann-
ary 10.
Followed by Man
AT the dinner she met several other
men, and on leaving the restaurant
was 1ollowcd by man, who, she said
she she 5hought was one of those to whom
she had been introduced. They went
to Churchills together and then Started
1or her home in a taxi. On the wav
therc, she charged, the man made i'm.
proper proposals to her, and when she
oeEame indignant, he arrested her.
Recently Mrs. Hutchinss attention
was called to the investigation of the
ponce methods Of arresting for dis.
orderly conduct and she engaged Mau-
rice Rlppc, an attorney of ITO Broad
way, to appeal her case.
Judge Wadhams, in reversing the
CONVICTION, was most caustic in his
comment upon Cassidy's action. In
speaking of the supper at Churchill's
and the taxi ride, he said:
1T does not appear in the record
whether this was paid for by the police
officer out Of the public funds or from
his own private fund.
ut is alleged" Judge Wadhams con-
tlnued, "by the people through this
witness that the defendant acted in q
manner which brings her within the
provisions Of this statute while in the
company of this officer.
Offcnds Public Conscience
1T is Unnecessary to examine wheth-
er or not the evidence, which was the
unsubstantiated testimony of the police
officer, if believed, established this
charge beyond reasonable doubt. for
the reason that the method of procur-
ing the evidence offends the public
conscience.
"lf any offence was committed the
oihcer aided and abetted, if he did not
procure its commission

ployed by the people to accost Young

thereafter having them commit an Of

The judgment is reversed and the
complaint dismissed. The clerk will
cail the attention of the police com
