CARS FOR WOMEN.
New York Transit Company Starts
Novel Innovation.
New York, March 30. Although the
idea of having separate subway cars
for women doesn't seem to meet with
the approval of the Inter bo rough Rapid
Transit company, a decisive test of the
plan will be made on the Hudson tun
nel system beginning next Wednesdsy
morning. If it is found to work satis
factorily in adding to the accommoda
tions for passengers or facilitating the
movement of trains, it will be made a
permanent feature of the line.
William G. McAdoo, president of the
Hudson & Manhattan Railroad com
pany, in announcing bis plan today,
said that when the idea was suggested
first it did not seem feasible, but after
studying the problem, he decided it
waa well worth testing.
The special cars for women will be
run only in "rush" hours to begin
They will be attached to all trains
leaving Hoboken between 7 and 9
o'clock in the morning, and those leav
ing Manhattan between 4:30 and 7
o clock in the evening.
The porters now at each station will
pay particular attention to the last cars
and their women passengers.

itants. It is believed here the insur
