done otherwise than by doing injustice

At this writing II would seem that
the Supreme Court of the State has
taken the view that the city water

the HAT.CHECK PROBLEM IS the
LATE6r

An illinois jury has given a man
who was elected from train on the
Alton road $500 damages. The pas.
senger refused to show the hat check
given him by the conductor when his
ticket was taken up, saying that he
was under no obligation to do so.
Thereupon the conductor. acting un.
der instructions from one Of the OH.
GERS of the road who was on the train.
put the man OF. Evidently the twelve
jurors and the Judge who heard the
case do not have high opinion Of the
hat check. 1t has been In use almost
since railroading In this country be.
gan. but there are many travellers who
dislike 1t. They do not wish to have
strips of cOlOred pasteboard stuck in
their hatbands--tO be tagged In order
that Il conductor may the more easily
identify them. So the verdict Of the
jury will strike what Is called "a re-
spOnsive chord" in many hearts. The
railroads argue that the check worn
cOnspicuOusly Is a convenience to the
passenger. who would otherwise have
to pull out his ticket. 1t is essential,
they say, that the checks should be
surrendered finally by passengers or a
fraudulent use will be made Of them.
They will be sold to persons who have
no scruples about cheating railroad.
There Is no question that the passen.
ger who was put off the Alton had paid
his fare. Probably the conductor was
that he had, but he did not
comply with the company's rule that
he should produce the hat check, which
it regards as receipt for ticket. The
is not pleased with the YER
dict ana will appeal.
