UNION TKANSFEK RAISES HATE
IN CHECKING SHORE BAGGAGE
Public Must Pay More When Tickets
From Camden Are Used.
The refusal ot the Union Transfer
Company to check bnggago from points In
this city to Atlantic City on tickets pur
chased In Camden mateilally lessens tho
saving that can be effected by purchas
ing a ticket across the Delaware, Instead
of paying tho advanced rate asked for.
The Camden purchaser ot n ticket to
Atlantic City will have to pay a flat
rate of SO cents to have his baggage
taken to-tlm Camden terminal and de
livered In-Atlantic City, If the ticket Is
purchased on this side, the charge for
baggage delivery Is as low as 35 cents.
The company explains the charge by
Btatlne that it acts merely as agent
ot the railroads, and the latter are not
allowed to check baggage other than that
between points called for on the ticket
presented. On a Camden ticket, there
fore, the company says it cannot check
'baggage from Philadelphia, but must
carry it to Camden. This will cost GO
cents for each piece. The ferry ticket
will not enter In, because It carries no
baggage privileges.

NO INSANITY VERDICT
IN COHEN MURDER
Jury Does Not Include De
rangement Idea in Decision,
But Coroner Intimates It.
Xo mention of tho mental condition of
Henry Barnct Cohen at tho tlmo he shot
his grandmother, Mrs. Clotilda F. Cohen,
and then killed himself, was mado today
hi the verdict of the Coroner's Jury nt
I In i Inquest. Tho Jur found tho tno
met death "from suushot wounds in tho
head."
Coroner Knight, In his charge to the
Jury, said young Cohen was temporarily
deranged, but did not instruct that this
bo included in tho verdict. The Coroner
based his statement on tho testimony ol
Dr. Hubley H. Owen, who testified Cohen
had been extremely ncnous, that ho was
known ns eccentric and had been under
the care of a physician for this trouble.
No member ot tho Cohen family at
tended the Inquest. Tho big revolver, with
which Cohen committed tho murder and
suicide, was exhibited. There was a
craning ot necks In the audlenco and a
general gasp when the heavy, black
weapon was held up by a detective.
Helatlves, who said membois of tho
family were satisfied that tho motive for
the murder was Cohen's dcslic lo end the
suffering of his ginndniothcr, made no
fffoit to tcstlf on this point Lieutenant
Albert M. Cohen, brother of tho suicide,
Hied with the Coroner yesterday a sworn
statement that Henry Barnet Cohen had
been In a Chicago hospital undergoing
treatment for a mental disorder.

that are really better
than they look!
And they are the
Admiration of Philadelphia!
A student of business,
himself a buyer, seller,
business man, said the
other day
"Nowadays everybody
knows the price of every
thing and the valuc.of noth
ing." He might have
added "before he gels ill"
For, if you fry"to live
by price alone, you soon
discover the folly of
valueless buying.
Fair p r ices for full
value has been our Perry
Policy these fifty - one
years !
We are not ashamed
today to meet in Store or
Street and look full in the
face the men who have
bought and wear Perry
Clothes.
We want to add you to
their number today!
