ACQUITTED OF OPERATING
AUTO MINUS PERMISSION
Henry A. Wood, Chauffeur, Held
Guiltless of Charge by Edward,
B. Dean, Owner.

Henry a. Wood was acquitted i'll the
Police Court yesterday of charge of
taking. an automobile without the owner $
consent. Edward b. Dean of 1926 nj
street northwest charged that Wood, who
was employed as a chauffeur by him.,
took the machine without his consent
and ran it thirtyeight miles. Mr.. Dean
testified that he sent Wood to the garage
with his automobile and that at that
time his speedometer registered 3,s47
miles. He said the next day the speed
ometer registered 1856 miles.
Jeff Wilkerson, clerk At the garage,
testified that the night of December II
he received telephone message which
he thought came from Mr.. Dean, order
ing that the automobile be sent to a
local hotel Wood appeared at the garage
a short time later, and Wilkerson stated
he told him to take the machine out
upon authority of the telephone message.
He said Wood at first refused. stating
he had been given permission to go to
the theater that night by Mr. Dean.
Later, however. he took it out and did
not return until several hours afterward.
Says He Fell Asleep.
Wood testified as to the order he re-
ceived from Wikerson, and said he took
the automobile to the hotel. He said
he did not see Mr.. Dean and that he
waited outside. He fell asleep. he de-
clared. and upon again failing to locate
his employer returned to the garage.
Judge Pugh held that the fact that a
telephone message had been sent to the
garage for the machine, and also that the
boy, according to the garage clerk s
testimony, declined at first to take the
machine, led him to believe that the boy
was innocent of the charge, and he
therefore dismissed the case. Attorney
Michael Mangum appeared for Wood.

NEW BAGGAGE TARIFF
PERMITS NO FAVORS
Railroad Employees Must Pay
For Storage Same as
Passengers

With, the filing of tariffs for storage
of baggage another courtesy is lOSt
to the railroad men. Once the tariffs
are approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, railroad employees
will have to pay storage rate just as
other patrons of railroad company.
For many years trainmen and other
employees were permitted to store bag
gage and packages for any length OF
time without charge. All that was
necessary was to present pass or
card at the baggage and storage rooms
showing they were railroad employees.
Recent rulings by the commission
make it necessary for all railroads to
charge everybody.
The new tariffs also require that
strict attention be given to time stor-
ages. Frequently employees In bag
gage rooms, it is said, have clipped off
extra charges when baggage was not
called for within forty-eight hours.
