S HIS PASS.
r.. G. Sessions Says He Should BE
Exempt From Statute.

f. G.. Sessions, the man who in
the automatic car coupler,
and whose work in this regard
brought him Endorsement from dig
nitaries throughout the world, is
spending the day in the city, en-
route home from the reunion of
Hoods Brigade at Navasota. Mr..
Sessions resides at Rice, Navarro
county. One of the principal rewards
he reaped as a result of his car coup
Ter invention was railway transpor-
tation, which has been given him
in unstinted amounts by the com
panies in recognition of his work In
behalf of humanity. Now the per.
quisite of free transportation has
been denied him by the anti-pass
law. and he feels that he is entitled
to relief. Mr.. Sessions quotes a sec.
ton of the constitution which eX
pressly permits men who have con
tributed special public services tC
enjoy special privileges, and he ha.
a scrap book fun of Endorsement!
showing the public services which
he has contributed. He may decide
to enjoiu the operations of the pass
law as applied to his case.-Houstor
