There will be a hearing on that bill next Wednesday at Hartford and as far as can be learned, there is no opposition to it's passage.

 To the plea of counsel for the trolley line that Mrs Di Gerlando's s "social class did not entitle her to such damages. Justice Black replied:

WATCH YOUR MONEY

1t IS not beyond the realm of probabil-
lty that some of the money used in the
ransom of the Weyerhaeuser boy may
make Its appearance in Imperial Valley.
Nobody is sure just where various
members of the gang which received the
ransom are at present nor in what di-
rection they may be travelling, if they
are seeking to remove themselves from
the northwest.
There is every likelihood that they
might head for the Mexican border, or,
believing northern roads to the east are
too closely watched, they might attempt
to travel east by a southern route
No matter where they are, they have
to spend the ransom money. That much
was proved by the appearance of one of
the ransom bills in eastern Oregon on
Sunday night
1t will be we'll for Imperial Valley res
idents to scan carefully any five, ten or
twenty dollar bills that may come into
their possession, and particularly to get
a description of the person rendering it
and any other information concerning
him.
All the bills paid over to the kidnapers
have serial number starting with Il"
and ending with "a In a very few
cases the number ends with an asterisk
or star, instead of the letter "a. Lists
of the bills are on hand in the various
police headquarters, the sheriff's office,
the banks and at The Press office. Any
of these agencies will be glad to check
up on suspicious bills.
Catching the kidnapers is job for the
law officers, but good citizens should CO.
operate and they can help to the best ad-
vantage by watching out for the appear
ance of the ransom bills.
Watch the bills and act quickly if you
have any suspicious about those you may
receive.
