Refused TO PAY Fare.

About a dozen men who left here at
6:55 Yesterday morning on an electric
railway train for Washington refused to
surrender their tickets or pay fare when
ths train reached Four-mile run where
one of the cars was detached from the
train. They claimed that when they
were compelled to crowd into the motor
car and the trailer that no seating ac-
commodations had been provided, and
that consequently they could not be
compelled either to surrender their
tickets or pay fare. The conductor con-
cluded TO run the train into Washing
ton with the dead heads aboard and
make arrangements for similar emer-
gencies in future. This morning when
the 6:55 train left the station in this
city il carried two passengers who had
determined to hold on to their tickets
if one of the trailers was detached at
Four-mile run. When the train reach
ed that point the two refused to give up
their tickets or pay fare. The train was
Immediately stopped and the two men
put of.
