noon announced they were through
with horse boat travel
The two young men arrived home
Sunday, coming by what Is popularity
termed side door Pullmans' from
Newport News, which city they reach
ed from Boston only after series OF
hardships imposed upon them by rea-
son OF the inhumanity of the steamer
line officials.
Helped by Kind Lawyer.
For several days they were strande'i
in Boston with some forty or more
other horse ship employees. and they
would probably be in Boston yet but
for the Kindness of lawyer. Daniel
r. OConnell by name. who interested
himself In their cases. While In Bos-
ton they found themselves without
funds for either beds or food, and were
compelled to appeal to the Associated
Charities. which fed them after they
had worked at least three hours for
each meal provided.
Mr.. OConneil. they say, took hold OF
the cases of the stranded horse ship
men and secured for them transpor-
tation to Newport News. Again
stranded in that city. they were COM
PEELED to get home as best they could.
and the best that offered was the
freight.
Both Mr.. Parkinson and Mr.. Paul
are glad to be home. Both are much
wiser and both have had enough of
such travel advantages as the horse
boats provide. One of them. Perkin-
son, served on the steamer Raeburn.
on which they sailed from Newport
News, as a coal HEAVIER. The other.
Paul, was a horse attendant
Were Given "Raw Dea1.r
The contract they signed provided
that they should be given return trans
portation to Newport News and that
they were TO be paid SIS apiece for the
trip. When they reached their desti-
nation. Brest, they were sent to Liver
pool. where they were paid OF and
given several days shore leave. From
Liverpool they went to Montreal AMI
from Montreal sent by train to Bos-
ton, where they were dumped out IN
the cold' despite their protests.
OF their experiences Parkinson said
yesterday:
It's not the work on the boat thai
am kicking about. nor even the food.
though IL wasn't any of the best. II
was the way the Lamport-Holt Line
regarded the contract signed with
them and left me stranded.
The company and boat are under
British registry and none of the British
horse boats treats fellow right. but
the French are pretty decent. so I've
heard. Even at that I'm not. kicking
against all the British horse boats. but
the line I sailed on gave everyone con-
cerned a raw deal"

Holding that 1t was his duty to en-
force the observance OF the uthey
ordinance. Justice Crutchfield yester-
day afternoon, after hearing mucn
argument by Assistant City Attorney
Anderson and Senator M. J. Fulton,
the latter for the jitneurs. fined fifteen
of the Jftney owners $lo eacn.
Attorney Fulton promptly appealed.
The men were bailed for their appear
afsce before the Hastings Court on
October 4. each in the sum of 800.
Officers Samuels and Bradley were
tina Commonwealth witnesses. They
testified that they saw two of the
cars overcrowded. and that the others
were being run without the license re-
Quired by the ordinance.
N presenting his case. Mr.. Fulton
attempted to show the unconstitution-
atty Of the ordinance, and strongly
questioned its validity. He said the
people were being imposed upon In
that . cheap mode OF transportation
was being taken away from them. The
ordinance IL not q good one. he said.
because It did not define the meaning
Of jitney, and the officers were re-
CURED to define the word.
He showed that the jitneurs had
secured q "for hire" license early In
the spring. and were now doing the
same business they did whom they
secured that license. Taxi cabs ana
other for hire automobiles are not
required 10 cover certain routes. nor
are they rsquisd to give bond. said
Mr.. Fulton. There Ia nothing to pre-
vsnt them. nor the street cars. from
overcrowdtn9. But here the 5itney
people are compelled under this ordin-
anee 70 observe ali of these things.
