LEWIS’ BAGGAGE GOES WRONG

Illinois Senator’s Luggage Placed In Woman’s Auto Through Mistake of Footman. Washington.—Senator J. Hamilton Lewis arrived unheralded from Chicago. A porter took his baggage, proceeded him from the train and vanished. “A footman took them, sir,” said the porter, when the angry senator descended on him. “He put them in that automobile. There’s a lady tn It. sir.”

Mrs. Lewis is in Europe. The senator was in a quandary. “Here you,” he said to the porter, "get me those bags, do something—only get them.” The porter got them, and the senator fled the station in a taxicab.
