NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9. 1928. JUDGE EXPECTED TO SIGN ORDER OF COURT ON 7C FARE in To 1).

widow, Subway Increase Looms Nearer as Interboro Takes Next Legal Step. Circuit Court Judge Martin T. Manton today is expected to sign the Federal Statutory Court's order prepared by I. R. T.

representatives in the transit litigation, thus bringing one step closer the possibility of actual collection of a 7-cent fare on the Interboro. Just how close actual collection of the increased fare has been brought still is problematical. It is generally conceded that no attempt to collect will be made before representatives of the city and Transit Commission appeal for a stay before the United States Supreme Court next Monday. Seek Better Protection. Both Samuel Untermyer, special counsel to the Transit Commission, and Charles L.

Craig, special counsel for the city, are optimistic of a stay from the appellate tribunal. Nevertheless, in their judgments yesterday before Judge Manton in opposing the form of order prepared by William L. Ransom of counsel for the Interboro, they appeared to concede the possibility that collection of the increased fare was not far distant. In fact, both attorneys emphasized the need for further protection to the car riders for the repayment of the extra fare in the event the United States Supreme Court eventually upsets the 7-ceut decision. They were unable to agree, however, as to the best method affording such protection.

Say City Can't Post Bond. They were agreed in this important point, however, that the city did not have the power to put up a bond as required in the form of order Judge Manton indicated he would sign today. Thus there is only one course left open for them to follow-to ask the Supreme Court for a stay without bond. Another thing brought out at the hearing yesterday was the city's determination to seek legal means to compel the Interboro to pay it $85,000,000 in deferred preferentials before it profits one penny from an increased fare. Mr.

Untermyer said the Interboro has already overdrawn its preferentials by $2,800,000, and that the city was ready to sue the company on this when its hands were tied by the sweeping order of Judge Bondy in the ancillary com- plaint. Mr. Untermyer said: Will Have to Pay City. "The very most the Interboro can hope effect is enough to pay operating exfor if the 7-cent fare foes into penses. Everything over that for years to will be due the City of New York." Judge Monton's signature of the order will clear in the way for all mat- and ters involved the complicated highly technical litigation to be placed squarely before the United States Supreme Court.

ALLEN DIVORCE SUIT ACCUSES "PEACHES" Undue Intimacy With Booking Agent to Be Charged. "Peaches" Browning is named as corespondent in a divorce action to be brought in White Plains by Mrs. Edgar F. Allen of Larchmont. Papers, served on Allen yesterday, charge he and Mrs.

Browning were unduly intimate since April 1, 1927, when he began to serve as Mrs. vaudeville booking agent and business manager. The papers cite alleged acts of indiscretion in Larchmont, Manhattan, Chicago and other cities. Mrs. Allen sailed for Europe last week.

Mrs. Browning is filling 3 vaudeville engagement in Philadelphia. According to Stanley C. Fowler, counsel for Mrs. Allen, his client demands an absolute divorce and alimony, but does not demand custody of their 7-months-old child.

The Allen marital troubles first gained publicity when Mrs. Allen sent her husband's trunks from their $100,000 Larchmont home to the Hotel Forrest, Manhat(tan, "in care of 'Peaches' MRS. BARBARA PURL of 1049 Myrtle died yesterday at her home in her 81st year. She was born in Germany and came nere at the age of 19.

The spirit which prompted the current "ambulance-chasing" inquiry was commended, and a bill now before Congress to curtail the power of Federal judges was decried by Charles Evans Hughes at his reelection last night as president of the Bar Association of the City of New York. The ambulance-chasing investiga tion was cited by the former Secretary of State as a commendable instance of co-operation between bench and bar which should be extended wherever needed to the end of bettering the administration of justice and maintenance of proper standards in the legal profession. "The ambulance chasing investigation to date," he said, "has resulted in disclosures which are shocking even to those who thought themselves familiar with the abuses sought to be corrected.

Could Cure Most Evils. "For the first time," he continued, the courts having disciplinary powers "the Bar Associations invited in the community entertain, not a particular charge against a delinquent lawyer, but a proposal for an investigation under the authority of the Court, so that recommendations can be devised, the guilty punished and the future abuses of like charAn alert bar and. a responsive acter stopped. bench can cure most the evils that exist, so far as actual delinquencies of lawyers are concerned." Referring to a recent visit of a committee of his association to Washington in the interest of the appointment of additional Federal judges, Mr. Hughes proceeded: "We found there a measure promoted in the Senate designed to restrain such authority as may now be enjoyed by the Judges in our Federal courts to bring expert assistance to the aid juries.

Warns of Serious Effect. "This bill provides that it shall be reversible error for the Judge presiding in a Federal court to express his personal opinion as to the credibility of the witness or weight of testimony and requires the Judge to deliver his charge before the final arguments of counsel, unless there is a contrary practice in the State where the Federal court is held. "The serious effect of the passage of such an act should be made plain, and I am glad to be informed that not only lawyers, but organizations of laymen throughout the country, are alive to the injury it would inflict. Our own committee has been active in opposition." Mr. Hughes added that his committee's appeal for additional judges met the response that "not only additional, but existing judges, may not be needed." Will Probe Police.

"These situations," he concluded, "show quite clearly that we have to be equally vigilant both to obtain needed reform in the administration of justice and to maintain without injurious impairment the facilities we already enjoy." A committee recommendation for an investigation by the State Crime Commission of the use of force by police in obtaining confessions and another favoring a constitutional amendment to provide uniform marriage and divorce laws, were ad by the meeting.
