Recorder Wickersham Is
Going to Christen His
Automobile Cupid

Somehow the tip has got about that
County Recorder Q. G. Wickersham'
who lives at Front and Division streets,
not only has a telephone, but also a
very nice, high h-powered, speedy mo-
tor car. William w. Gantz. mer-
camille reporter of Pittsburgh, and
pretty Miss Emma Viola killian,
whose home is in Reading, got that tip
about IL o'clock last evening. They
decided that they could hit upon no
better day for their wedding than
Memorial Day. Furthermore, they
feared that because it is a holiday they
would have been unable to procure a
license.
So:
They just called up the recorder,
told him all about it, and asked him
if he could come down in his car and
grant a license. The recorder glanced
at the clock, sighed. climbed out of his
paiamas, put on his motor cap, got
out the car and came to the marriage
bureau and issued the license.
Then, just to keep his hand in, this
morning he called again at the office
in time to receive woeful Samuel
Thomas Keys and Grace Elton Masen-
heimer, who were wondering discon-
solately why they hadn't remembered
that to-day was a holiday. So Re-
corder Wickersham gave them a
license. too.

NEW BAGGAGE RULE
IN EFFECT TOMORROW
REQUIRES All Travellers to Place
Value on Contents of Trunks;
Need More Employees

If YOU carry trunks when you go
travelling after to-day you will be
asked by the railroads to place value
on the baggage. and, if you give a
figure of more than 500 you will be
required to pay 10 cents for each ad-
ditional 500 valuation for insurance.
This is not a new rule of the rail-
roads to annoy the travelling public,
but is done because the Cummins
merce law requires it. Under the old
law the railroads were free to make
their own rules. Practically all roads
had the same regulations. They car
ried free any trunk up to 100 pounds
in weight, in consideration of the pur-
chase of the ticket and they assumed
a liability up to $100 Thus, if a trav-
eler's trunk was lost or destroyed in
transit, he could recover the value of
the trunk up to 500, but no more.
May Need Extra Baggage Men
The new law requires that railroads
must assume liability for the full value
of a trunk and that the value must be
stated at the time the trunk is
checked. The railroads claim that
they cannot assume full value with
out charge, because people might
overstate the value. So they have de-
cided upon the extra charge insurance
rate of 10 cents per 800.
All the railroads are now working
on a scheme to make this plan prac-
ticable. 1t means in the first place
more toll for that much h-overworked
individual, the baggagemaster. In
stead of giving a metal check, here
after he must give a paper or card
board receipt, and he must write on
it the valuation of the trunk and its
contents, at the same time handling
the money for insurance and keeping
record.
Both the Pennsylvania and Reading
railroads are now working on a plan
to expedite this new phase of rail-
roading. Probably it will be necessary
to have extra baggage men to handle
the increased amount of work, and
certainly the railroad will need extra
clerks to keep the records of the insur-
ance phase of the business.
The amendment to the law refers
to shippers, but the Interstate Com
merce Commission has decided that
the traveller who checks a trunk is a
shipper.
