RAILROAD MUST PAY
FULL VALUE FOR TRUNK
Clause Limiting Liability to
$50 Void.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The limited
liability clause In railroad rules re-
stricting the amount of damage tha'
the can be held responsible
for in case of loss of baggage was oe-
clared void yesterday by the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court.
The ruling applied to the New YORK
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company. which limits collection Oh
INA on lost baggage to Sl5o unless
the value of it has been expressly de-
clared in advance.
The Appellate Division, in SUSTAINING
a demurrer to this defense, pointed 10
a rule of the company which READS
ITO agents-Please understand you are
not TO INQUIRE the value of baggage
from the owner, and ii is only in those
cases where owners voluntary state
the value of their baggage at the time
of checking that the charge is, to be
made if any one lot belonging to a SIN
gle passenger exceeds $3.50
Tho court, in the prevailing OPINION
saws: I'm this case we have not only d
failure to inquire, but explicit dlrec-
lions to agents not to inquire. Surely
the carrier must not complain for not
being informed of what 1t did not
wish to know"

NOT
HUMILIATION AND
INSULT, IS NEEDED
Commissioner Smith Scores
Hotel Men Who Protest
Against Auto Ruling.
Especial to the Newark star

TRENTON, June 3.-When shown he
newspaper report of the action OF the
| Atlantic City hotel men In undertaking
to organize a movement to enlist the
support of Governor Wilson in secur-
ing a revocation of the order regarding
tourists licenses, Commissioner Smith
said:' ts4
III the Atlantic City hotel men, with
any other hotel men or any citizen
who may join with them in such a
movement, would spend only a small
percentage Of the energy necessary to
accomplish such a result In attempting
TO obtain reciprocity, not humiliation
and insult for New Jersey motorists;
to obtain fair treatment, instead of
coercion and %bulldozing, the whole
problem would be speedily solved.
Little sense of either justice or
patriotism can anyone possess who
would allow either himself OF his fell
low men TO be thus oppressed, even at
the price. of the dollar he might make
N OF tic entertainment of those who
syrppathize with the oppressors.
Let the hotel men unite with all
loyal Jerseymen In saying to the domi-
neering spirit OF Pennsylvania and to
that of New York, also, II they follow
Pennsylvania's course, We want your
company and your goodwill, but not
at the price of humiliation and oppres-
sion of the motorists of our W State,
and II you want reciprocity you must
reciprocate.'
Let them join in saying to the very
few trouble-loving automobile. leaders
who are responsible for ii all: w viii
no. longer support your selfish policy,
and will hereafter stand by the auto
lists of our own State in their efforts to
secure true reciprocity both for them
selves and for those of your State
whose best interests you misrepresent.
and the trouble would not only be over.
but tire hotel business would be IN
cres sed thereby"
The threat of coercing me. through
the governors office, to rescind the
order has no more effect than tho
greater effort to coerce on the part OF
the Pennsylvania authorities That thu
governor would lend himself to so un
patriotic an act is u~nthiniiable. That
/ would yield to such an effort Is I'M
possible. Atlantic City hotel men, as
well as the representatives of Penn
sylvania motorists who have brought
about the present conditions, might as
well understand now as at any tims
that the only way to settle this cues
ton is to settle 1t right"
