The mandate is ordered into effect Jan. 1, 1912, and, provided the receivers of the lines do not stay its force with an in- Junction from the courts, the public will get free transfers at 151 points where the surface lines meet. Only single transfers are ordered. This will allow free transfers between two companies at every point in Manhattan, but it does not allow continuous passage over the Ines of three companies for a single fare. Receiver Frederick W. Whitridge of the Third Avenue Rallroad sald to an Evening World reporter, wh» gave him first news of the action of the commis- sion: “I think the commission ‘has misunder- Staou the public opinion in this case, and Third Avenue Railroad hundreds thousands of dollars.” General Manager Oren Root of the Metropolitan system expressed his per- sonal view as follows: “This means a considerable extra bur- den on the property, and 1s a matter! which the reorganization -ommittee will) have to decide.

The surgeon began work at a little after 9 o'clock. Tho fighter had not realised the ser- lousness of his illness until the disease had reached a point where an tmme- diate operation gave the only hope of saving his life, The operation tasted forty minutes. Dr. J, W. Pollard, who performed it, stated that Wolgast's perfect physical condition rendered it almost certain that he would recover rapidly, “He will be out of the hospital in ten days or two weeks," he said. Manager Tom Jones descended from | the operating room to escort Mra, Wol- wast upstaire to seo her husband, ‘Ad is still unconscious trom sald Jone: tors say he 1s doing fine.

Aged Millionaire Compelled to De- scribe Shooting Twice More, Un- der Double Cross-Examination. William E. D. Stokes, the elderly millionaire, was compelled to tell twice more to-day, under rigid cross-examination, how Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad shot his legs full of holes in the Varuna apartment, Eightieth street and Broadway, last July. " The unusual procedure, before Justice Marcus and a jury in the Supreme Court, was occasioned by the fact that each of the indicted show girls was represented by separate counsel, After Robert M. Moore, for Ethel Conrad, had finished grilling the witness for his clienf, Attorney Clark L, Jordan, for Lillian Graham, made him tell, for the third time since the case was called, every detail of the shooting and the scuffle attending it, Then Mr. Jordan stole a “sensation” promised by Assistant District- Attorney Buckner, by leading the witness again to the Lexington visit of Miss Graham, and compelling the prosecutor to give the defense, as its evidence, a statement claimed to have been signed by the show girl, which was to have been the prosecution’s trump card in redirect exam- ination. This statement, an alleged confession, was characterized by Jordan as the “dirtiest frame-up” ever attempted to blacken a young girl’s reputation, MRS.
