NEW YORK, September 19.—Be- cause he threw five pennies—tendered him as a tip for a’ 20-cent ride—in the face of a passenger, Benjamin Knaster, 23, a taxicab chauffeur of the Bronx, spent three days in jail, and was glven threc-quarters of an hour instruction today by Magistrate Simpson on the difference between tips and legal financlal obligations. Knaster threw the money .at Dr. Joseph M. Klein, dentist, of Jamaica. In the row that followed, every one got s0 excited that a young woman who was with Dr. Kleln forgot her purse, which she had laid down igside the cab. Dr. Kieln, who -had taken Knaster’s number, obtained a warrant for his arrest for assault. Knaster was unable to furnish bail, and had to stay in jail until given a hearing. Knaster told Magisirate Simpson today he knew nothing about the purse. He gaid it probably had been picked up by some subsequent pas- senger. e admitted throwing the money at the dentist, but said he would never do it again. “A tip,” Magistrate Simpson told Knaster, “is only a gratuity, and given for extra service. There is nothing in the law to compel & man to give a tip. If he does so, it is in consideration and ap- preciation of service.” SHIP WITH 25 ABOARD IS REPORTED OVERDUE Barkentine Phyllis, Sailing From Seattle for British Port in July, Believed Lost.
