Held Not Violation of Law

That 1t is not necessarily a violation
of law for street car conductors to sell
loose car tickets was made plain by
Assistant United States Attorney Ralph
Given this morning when Detective
Cornwen applied for 4 warrant for a
conductor. The prosecutor explained
tina the law provides a the street
railway companies must not reissue
tickets and does not mention their sale.
Detective Cornwell was a passenger on
a Brightwood car last night and a pas
senger reported to him that the con-
ductor was selling tickets not in strips
as furnished by the company. The con-
ductor, the detective stated, admitted
having violated an order of the company,
but denied that he had violated any law.
In an effort to obtain names of witnesses
who had purchased loose tickets, the de-
tective questioned several passengers.
Frank Davis, 1924 Georgia avenue,
made it clear that he did not care
whether the tickets were in strips or
loose, according to Detective Cornwell.
and in his denunciation of alleged in
reference with him, it is charged. he
made use of Objectionable language.
Davis was arrested and required to
deposit s25 collateral for his appear
ance in Police Court next week. The
detective applied for a warrant for the
but his application was re-
fused for the reason stated.
