FOR BAGGAGE LOST IN TEN-CENT PACKAGE ROOM . e Feb. 9.—“It is. a Verdict Rendered Against Pennsylva- nia Railroad for $254. Philadelphia, Feb. 9.—A case of in- terest to travelers was decided in com- mon pleas court here todav when a jury held the Pennsylvania Railroad company liable for the full value of baggage lost in a ten cent package room at one of its stations in New York. The company contended the package rooms were maintained only for the accommodation of passengers, and the small cost charged <id not im- pose upon It any obiligation beyond $10. The judge sald the company had as- sumed the gafe keeping of the baggage and its failure to do so amounted prav- tically to violation of centract. He therefore permitted the case to go to the jury, which rendered a verdict of $254, the full amount of the claim, with interest. .peal. COLD STORAGE EGGS VANISH FROM BIG WESTERN CITIES.
