The bonus of $24O proposed by

the police with failing to register
and turn in fares, are going to fight
their cases, taking them to the Su-

sary, it became known today.
j. The entire eleven, who are out on
collateral ranging from $50 to $500,
were in court this morning with
counsel. The trials were postponed
until Wednesday.
The defense will be based on the
claim that the fares do not belong to
the company until they have been
rung up and the company therefore
cannot prosecute them, it was stated
by an employe of the traction COM
pany. He further stated that in q
test case several months ago the
judge ruled to this effect.
