Car transfers curtailed between Whird Avenue and Metropolitan lines
Judge Lacombe in the United States Circuit Court ordered abolishing transfer exchanges between Whird Avenue Railroad Company and the New York City Railway Company. The change, effective April 11, affects key cross streets and may force double fares for Third Avenue riders using crosstown lines. Receivers warn that transfers support competition and caution against widespread discontinuance, with transfers still required at some junctions.

Deputy attorney general William A. De Ford will argue before Justice McCall on Monday morning in the Supreme Court' s de murrer case brought by Attorney General Jackson to oust John Francis Ahearn from the Borough of Manhattan presidency. Martin W. Littleton will defend Ahearn. The two questions concern the constitutionality of the governor's power to remove a Borough President and whether the Board of Aldermen can re elect a Borough President after removal. The statute's intent is that removal ends the office for the remainder of the term. Ahearn was elected in the fall of 19% for a term ending January 1, 1919.
