The Transit Commission and the City of New York to-day joined hands in an effort to find some legal way to thwart a 10-cent fare for 100,000 passengers daily in Queens. After a severe criticism of the action of receivers for the old Steinway line, merged with the New York and Queens County Railroad Company in 1896, Transit Commissioner Hark- ness adjourned the hearing at noon and declared the commission would announce {ts decision late to-day. - alternative of permitting the division of the old line from Manhattan to College Point in two at Woodside, with @ second fare and a change of cars at that point, or of submitting itself to a possible charge of contempt of court.

Lee, son-in-law ‘of Senator Calder, of Brooklyn, recetvers, issued an in- Junction restraining any and all per- sons from interfering with the opera- tion of the old Steinway line under thy recelvers.
