tock which was being bid up to fic
titious values to the detriment of the

Divinity Student Arrested on Chi

COMPANY DEPRIVED OF FARE
Justice Hold that Using Found Trans
fer I No Less Tban Robbery, Bat
Student Argue Point "and Bests the
Court in th Argument
Chicago, Nov. 14. A new point in
transfer ethics waa raised yeaterday
when Robert Morris a divinity student
in Chicago University, was arraigned bey
fore Justice Callahan on charge of of
fering on a Cottage Grove car, a trans
fer which he had found in the street.
Morris was arrested by one of th de
tectives of tke City Railway Company,
who aaw him attempt to use the trans
fer. He admitted he had found' the
transfer in tie street and that be knew
it was illegal to use it, but he said he
could not see the justice of the law.
He contended that every nickel spent
by the patrons of the street car com
pany purchased the maximum ride on
the company's lines snd that if the ori
ginal purchaser did not care to use all
of that ride it could be no moral of
fense for another person to use what
someone else had wilfully thrown away.
Justice Callahan held that to ride on
a transfer that had been found in the
street' was no less than robbery, inas
much aa the company was deprived of s
nickel that otherwise would have been
spent.
"Then you might aa well say I rob
the storekeepers when I give away an
overcoat which is of no use to me, be
cause I save the recipient of the coat
the necessity of buying ft new one," re
joined Morria.
The student finally agreed to meet the
justice again and thrash out th ques
tion thoroughly.
"He had me going some," was Justice
iCallahaa's comment after Morris bad
left the room. . i
