Passengers Having to Stand
Are Not Subject to Order,
the Court Holds.
"NoT PAWNs," DECLARES
APPELLATE TRIBUNAL
Justice Robb Rules That Strap
Hangers Are Immune From
"Whims Of Employees"

Railroad companies which take on
more passengers than can be seated
in a car have no right ito move those
passengers about as pawns on a chess
board" Justice Robb Of the District
Court of Appeals SO decided today when
he delivered the opinion of the appel
late court affirming a judgment for
$1,000 damages against the Capital
Traction Company, awarded to Will
liam A. Morgan by jury in the lower
court
Passengers are not subject, says the
court, to the whims or arbitrary no.
tions of the company's employees.
Was Moved by Motorman.
Morgan had left his seat in the car
to accommodate a woman passenger
and grasped the brass handle on the
first cross seat near the front. He dis
regarded requests from the motorman
to move up" and stand in a vacant
space between the front seat and the
motorman. The motorman, according
to the testimony. jumped back and
grabbed Mr. Morgan around the neck
and dragging him to the front said
You will stand there, won't you?"
Nine witnesses testified that Mr. Nor
gan was not blocking the aisle of the
car.
The company's employees testified that
the car was very crowded in the back,
but there were not many people up
front: They claimed the motorman
merely broke the passengers hold on
the car seat and pushed him to the
front of the car. The company had
issued orders. 1t was testified. to keep
the aisles clear as far as possible, so
passengers could pass through the car
Passengers "Not Pawns."
While the common carrier NAV make
and enforce reasonable rules and reg
ulations. says Justice Robb. it having
taken ON more passengers than it could
seat. had not the right to move those
passengers about as 'pawns upon u
chessboard."
'In other words" says Justice Robb
1.-THE plaintiff had a right to assume a
position in the aisle and remain there,
unless by so doing he prevented other
passengers from passing there through
The interior of the car was common to
all passengers and as long as plaintiff
demeaned himself properly and re-
spected the rights Of the other pas
whims or arbitrary notions of defend
ants employees"
Allows Punitive Damages.
On the question of the claim of the
company that no injury had been shown
and that only nominal damages should
have been awarded, Justice Robb saws:
"One person may be more sensitive
than another, or, stated otherwise, one
person may be more callous than an
other to public gaze under embar-
RAISING conditions, but we think the
rule of law is that where the circum-
stances Of such an assault as is here
shown to have taken place are before
the jury, the jury may infer that the
average person would suffer from the
indignity and humiliation. Indeed, to
the average person those elements of
hurt would be more distressing and
lasting than the comparatively insig-
nificant physical hurt.

Wants Reasons for Requesting
Withdrawal of Capt. Boy-Ed
and Capt. Won Papen.
ACTION CAUSES SURPRISE
AT STATE Department
No Request to Be Made for the Safe
Conduct of the
Attaches.

Count Won Bernstorff today presented
to the State Department a communica-
ton asking for the reasons for the re-
quest for the withdrawal of Capt. Boy
Ed and Capt. Won Papen, the German
naval and military attaches, respectively.
1t was stated authoritatively, though
not in the communication, that the am
bassador would under no consideration
ask the United States to get safe con-
ducts for the attaches. The German gov
eminent was represented as considering
it incumbent upon the United States to
return the attaches in safety to German
territory and bring their successors here.
Surprise to U. S. officials.
Under all diplomatic usage it is only
necessary for the United States to in
dlcate to Germany that the attaches
are persona non grata and it is not
necessary to give a reason for asking
their withdrawal. The German ambas-
sadors action today came as distinct
surprise to officials here.
Should it develop from the State De-
partment's answer that other incidents
than the Archibald case and the testi-
mony at the trial of the conspirators
of the Hamburg American line were
considered by the United States in ask :
ing that the attaches be withdrawn,
Germany will contest the Withdrawals
Should the department reply that
those two incidents alone were re-
sponsible. the withdrawal will take
place without further inquiry or pro-
test. Even then. however, Germany
will consider that under the circum-
stances the United States must open
the wav for the attaches TO leave the
country.
German Embassy's Position.
The embassy was represented as
considering that it and the attaches
stand before the bar of public opinion.
In such circumstances the understand
ing is that the embassy will deny that
the attaches have in any way been
connected with anything under attack
other than the Archibald incident and
the testimony in the federal court in
New York.
All this action is considered by Off
Gals of the State Department to be
contrary to precedents of diplomatic
procedure. While conferences upon the
subject are in progress, the two at
taches. Capt. BoyEd and Capt. Won
States. They were both in Washington
today and they have conferred with

Enters Emphatic Denial of Rumor.
Count Won Bernstorff today made en-
phatic denial of reports that Germany
or German official agents had been con-
cerned in recent attempts to set up a
counter revolution in Mexico.
