WERE NOT KEPT IN SAFE.
Court Holds Hotel Manager Liable
for Jewels Stolen From a Guest

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Hotel pa
irons and hotel proprietors will be
greatly interested in a decision lust
rendered by the court of appeals sus-
tanning the liability of hotel mana
ger for the loss of jewels valued at
aboutS3.000 which had not been
placed in the hotel safe.
Mrs. Il. j. Myers was guest at
the Hotel Edgemere. at Averne, near
Far Rockaway, during the summer of
1898. The hotel was under the man
agement of James Fl. Breslin. then
of the Gilsey House and now part
owner of the Chicago Auditorium.
Mrs. Myers had diamonds and other
jewelry of the value of SO 900, includ.
ing brooch with thirty-six diamonds
diamond star, dagger with dia-
monds and pearls, a diamond bracelet
a diamond clasp and a collarette of
pearls.
When she went to the hotel she
placed all the jewels in the safe at
the desk. calling for them when she
wished to wear them and returning
them when not in her room This
pldCiHs VI ueT VdluADleS In tne SAFE
and calling for them repeatedly was
the cause of much annoyance not
only to Mrs. Myers, but also to the
clerks at the hotel. Mrs. Myers apol-
ogized for causing SO much trouble
and annoyance to the clerks one day
and she was then told by the mana
ger that it was perfectly safe to keep
her jewels in her room, as maid was
constantly seated by her door and
there was a private detective on each
floor. Upon receiving this assurance
Mrs. Myers took her jewels from the
safe and locked them up in trunk
in her room. From there they were
stolen one day during her absence
and while her key was In the care
of the clerk.
The court holds that the innkeep-
ers' act restricting the liability of
hotel-keepers does not apply to the
case, owing to the peculiar circum.
stances disclosed and the assurances
given Mrs. Myers that her jewels
would be safe in her room.

POLITICIAN MUST PAY.
Trunk Line Railroad Arrangements to
Extend Anti-Pass Agreement.

| CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-The politician
and the arrangements of all trunk
line railroads are going to part com
pany after Jan. /. 1902. This is the
| latest information coming from the
east and it is said to be the sequel
to the anti-pass agreement entered
| into by all lines east of Chicago
The story is to the effect that the
railroads have laid plans for care
full campaign for the purpose of ex-
| terminating the evil of free trans
portation given for the purpose of
placating inscriptions politicians
and preventing hostile legislation.
Accordingly after the first Ct the year
| the doors of the railroad offices will
be shut and barred against the poll
ician seeking free ride, and he will
be compelled to look for the ticket
office instead
The proposition is said to be simp-
ly that of placing the railroads on a
purely commercial basis, where they
will pay forseverything they get and
where everyone will pay for every
thing he gets from the railroads.
That this reformation cannot be
brought about without determin-
ed fight is recognized by all
arrangements, and for this reason
hey have agreed to stand together
and to maze the fight to its legiti
mate conclusion.
Naturally no official confirmation
can be had for these statements, and
.he story is given for what it is worth.
The campaign has been planned SO
quietly and carfully that the general
passenger agents OF the eastern lines
nave been given no information or
Instructions regarding next year un-
less such instructions were received
at the New York meeting within the
last two uays. 1t is said, however.
hat majorlty OF the eastern roads
nave had no pass paper printed for
IeXt year, and those who have had
such paper printed have locked it Sc
aurely in their vaults where it will re
main unless the battle goes against
The railroads.
1t is said SO determined are the
managements to bring about reform
that they are prepared to go to the
SAti elht ltlSlu VI CuIlluS TIE pas
senger rate to 2 cents per mile in all
eastern states where the rate now
exceeds this amount. This means
radical change in the rate in every
state except New York and Massa-
chusetts, and if need be it will be the
last broadside launched for the pur-
pose of effectually gaining public sen
dment and routing the politician.
Presumably the last form of free or
semi-free transportation to go will
be the advertising contract form. AS
soon as possible the railroads east
OF here will concel all such contracts
and pay for their advertising in cash
By so doing they will be able to shut
off great mass OF advertising which
has become matter of "hold-up" for
transportation, the advertising con
tanning no value to the railroads.
1t is to be expected that any at
tempt to shut out the political dead
head" will result in large crop of
adverse Legislation. and even to the
passage Of bill requiring 1-cent fare.
If such extremes are resorted to the
railroads will ignore them and resist
| their enforcement upon the ground
that they amount to confiscation,
