INJURY TO PERSONS BY CONTRACT
I--MARTINsBURG. w. VA. Oct. %
In the United States Court here yes
terday, Judge Bond, of Baltimore,
rendered decision of great interest
to all railroad employees. 1t was in
case in which a father and minor
son both brought suit for damages
against the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
for injuries sustained by the son while
in its employ.
1t was shown that the father had
signed contract consenting to the
employment of his son, and releasing
the company from responsibility for
injuries sustained. The son, although
a minor, signed a similar contract.
The court ruled against the plaintiffs
in both cases, and held that the COM
pany had legal right to contract to
limit its liability for injuries receiv.
ed by its employees caused by the
negligence of its agents. The case of
the son, which was for $4,000 dam.
ages. will be appealed to the United
States Supreme Court.

contract. 1t is averred that Perrin and
Reilly were also guilty OF making false
afTidavits and Perrin and others are, in
addition, charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government. The defendants
were all indicted for forgery. They took
exceptions to the indictment, contending,
among other things, that the offense al
legged was not forgery, as it was not
charged that they had falsely
simulated other persons writing, but
that they had, in their own handwrit-
ing made false statements of facts. There
was a division of opinion on this point
between the Judges of the Circuit Court
of the United States for the District OF
California and the matter comes here for
determination by the Supreme Court.
The cases are of considerable interest
and it is understood that number OF
civil suits depend upon the determine
tion of these criminal cases. Solicitor
General jerks opened the argument for
the United States and was followed by
Hon. Frank Hurd in behalf of the de-
fendauts. Senator Stewart, OF Nevada,
is also of counsel for the defense.

ni. r,me ,o Crr, IIal,!

The City Council has been very liberal
n the creation of offices and in the mat
ier of salaries. We cannot but admire
the spirit which anirnates the new city
government, but it would seem that it is
not just now a coed time for lavish mu-
nicipal expenditure. The wise
man always looks ahead to see
where the money is to come from before
he launches out into heavy expend-
itures. II the Council had exercised this
commendable kind of foresight the MEM
bers would have seen that we are rapidly
running against very large deicitin the
Cash fund and the Salary fund, the two
great current expense funds of the city.
There is now in the Salary fund
$S7, 600. OF the $60,000 now avail
able for apportionment amongst the
various funds, about $4,000 will go
to the Salary fund. The only further
money that will 60 to that fund is about
$4,000 for licenses. That will make q
total of $4,000 to be received by the
Salary fund from all sources up to the lst
of next October. Last year the salaries
averaged $i2 600 per month, during these
months, so that there will be deficit
of $40 COO in the Salary fund on the 1st OF
October. But that is not ALL The Fire
Department fund is practically exhaust
ed, and will necessarily have to be re-
plenished out of the Salary or Cash fund.
Last year the money expended during
the corresponding six months averaged
So, 900 per month. Add this deficit to
the one in the other departments, and
we will have a total shortage of $4,000
in the Salary fund on the 1st of October.
Then as to the Cash fund. There is
now in it $4,000, which, with $4,000 il
will receive from the apportionment
about to be made, will swell it to total
of $35, 900. The expenditures from this
fund last year during the six months cor
responding with the three we have just
entered upon was $4,000 per month.
or a total of 100000. Therefore.
| if we deduct $685. 900 from $4,000, we
shall have in this fund deficit of $751;.
600 staring us in the face on the LIST Of
October. Add to this the deficit in the
Salary fund, and we shall have a short
age of $10l 900 at the close OF the next six
months.
A prospect like this calls for the exer-
cise of both economy and financial
fnesse on the part of the city govern
ment, not lavish outlay.
