SUES N. Y. CENTRAL FOR
TWO CENTS CARFARE
Lawyer E. L. Ryder Disputes
Right to Collect Excess
Charged on Train.

ossISING. Jan. s--Decision was re-
served to-day by Justice OF the Peace
Theodore G. Sherwood in the action
brought By Edgar L. Ryder a lawyer
residing in this village, against the New
York Central Lines for the conversion OF
two cents
Mr.. Ryder tried his own case and
Fred l.. Wheeler appeared for the COM
pauy. Several witnesses were heard.
among them being the plaintiff and
Charles l.. Dougherty OF Peekskill the
conductor who tried TO collect an excess
fare from Mr.. Ryder.
Mr.. Ryder testified that he was on his
way to White Plains on December II
and reached the Ossining station four
minutes before train time. There we're
1--WE women in front OF the ticket window.
and the agent was in the back OF the
office. He was unable to procure a
ticket, and when the train arrived he ran
down the stairs and boarded II. When
the conductor came along he rendered him
n dime and a nickel, intending to get of
the train at Tarrytown. tho fare thereto
being thirteen cents. The conductor de-
manded eight cents more to pay the excess
fare OF ten cents which is provided for
when passengers pay on the train. Mr..
Ryder would not pay II, and when the
conductor told him he would have to
leave the train he said he wouii go only
wnen e1eCted, ana IN asking Tor MS TWO
cents change he said he would sue the
road II IL were not forthcoming.
The law which provides for the collee-
zion OF the excess fare says that this
section shall not apply to any passen-
ger taking passage from a station or
stopping place when tickets cannot be
purchased during half an hour previous
to the scheduled time for the departure
Of said train on which such passenger
takes passage"
Mr.. Ryder maintained that this means
every minute OF the half hour, but Mr.
Wheeler placed a different construction
upon 1t. Mr.. Ryder also denied the truth
OF the testimony OF the conductor that
the latter offered him the two cents when
he was alighting at Tsrrytown.
The company set up a counter claim
OF eight cents to cover the full amount OF
the excess fare, and Mr.. Ryder, in NOV
ing to dismiss this, made the point that
after he had reached Tarrytown, having
paid his fare, he owed the company moth
ing and that even had he paid his fare and
the excess amount OF ten cents he was en-
titled to the latter on demand at any
ticket ONCE.

road Company and its directors, both
past and present.

sor. Gov Baldwin.

George J. Brush. Charles f. Brooker
James s Elton and others I might name
as benefacters OF the State, whose ef-
forts have established and developed In
dustries which give employment to
large number Of our citizens and have in
no small way contributed to give this
State its proud industrial prominence.
The people Of Connecticut do not be-
lieve that these men belong to the crimi-
nal class or that they should have been
indicted as criminals for the reasons al
legged in the indictments.
The New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad Company, our principal
public service corporation, has In the
past period provided efficient and econom-
ical service to our people and Industries,

HALF. MILLION FREIGHT Cars
NEEDED FOR WHEAT MOVING

One half million freight cars
will be needed to handle the grain
crop now ripening and being cut
throughout the Northwest.
The railroads already have well
under way the task of mobilizing
the idle cars and placing them at
strategic points where they may
be sent with the least delay to the
points where they are most need
ed.
1t is estimated the Great Nor
thern alone will use $4,000 cars
while the Northern Pacific, the
Milwaukee, the 500 line and the
other roads tapping the grain
belt will increase the number to
what may prove record figure.
North Dakota will absorb a
large proportion of these cars
since fro mthat state comes
about IS per cent of the North
western output. The Red River
valley Of Minnesota, South Dako-
ia and Montana also will make
large demands on the railroads,
and it is expected by railroad men
that within few weeks practice
ally all the rolling stock in the
country will be moving.

stacking grain. One Of these adj
vantages, now generally recog-
nized, is that the quality even of
inferior wheat is decidedly i'm
proved by stacking. In the stack
the grain goes through the
sweating process, which it can
not do in the shock, and grain
that. goes into the stack poor in
color will come out bright, and
worth several cents per bushel on
the market more than if it had not
been stacked. Then, there is the
element of security, which is q
very important one, to be taken
into consideration. Well stacked
grain is safe under almost any
weather conditions, while in the
shock it is subjected to the con-
slant risk of damage by rain, and
to the possibility Of total loss by
the continuance of wet weather

gerous condition by reason of it's
having been made SO high and
narrow that careful driving was
necessary to pass in safety even
when the earth was dry. The cor
oner adjourned the inquest in or
der that he might make a perso-
nal inspection of the road at that
spot, the presumption being that
the findings would be Influenced
by what he found. There is thus
introduced the principle-for the
first time in this state, it is be-
lieved-the principle that there
rests on the road authorities the
duty, not merely to see that the
highway is free from casual OBJ
structions, but to provide road
SO instructed as to be passable
and safe under all ordinary con-
ditions. If this case should reach
the courts their attitude on the
point would have an important
bearing in the entire highway sit
uation throughout the state.
