THE REGENTS REPORT.
The Mt. Vernon Association Complete,
It's Work and AdjOurns

The presentation Of the reports of
the superintendent, Mr.. Harrison H
Dodge, and several of the vice regents
were the subjects discussed at yes
terday's session of the Mount Vernon
Ladies' Association. The report of the
regent, Mrs. Townsend, was most interest
ing. During the past year Mrs. Townsend
has been instrumental in raising 81 500 for
the endowment fund. Through her Mr.,
Havermeyer gave four pictures, which
originally belonged to Mt. Vernon, and to
Mrs. TownSenfs efforts the restoration of
the "ha-ha'' fence around the estate has
been completed. The "ha-ha" fence dates
back to the fox hunting days at Mt. Yer
non. Mrs. Townsend refers in her report
also to the treasurer, Mrs. e. F. Riggs
unfailinS interest in the estate and her ap-
probation of the work of the superintend-
ent, Mr.. Dodge; the assistant superintend-
emf, Mr.. Young, and the head gardener
Mr. Franklin Whelan. In the report of the
superintendent all the work on the estate
the past year was spoken. of In detail, with
his recommendations for the coming one.
Last year GLASS visitors went to Mt Yer
Lon.

CHECK FOR RAILROADS
Court of Appeals 0verrules Two Lower
Court Decisions
Railroads Cannot Presume Negligence
on the Part of PassenSers-
Jury Must Decide.

After its adjournment yesterday after
Econ two important decisions respecting
the liabilities of railroad companies were
filed in the Court of Appeals. The cases
were these of Frank C. Adams against the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company and Mary c. McAfee against the
Richmond and Danville Railroad Company,
the Judgment of the court below being re-
versed in each instance, and a new trial
ordered.
In the Adams case the plaintiff claimed
damages because of injuries received in
being thrown from a at 9TH street
and Pennsylvania avenue. Upon the
close of testimony submitted by Mr..
Adams the court below, upon the motion
of the company, directed a verdict in it's
flavor Mr.. Adams, it appeared, was thrown
Wflle riding on the front plat form of the
car, and the Court OF Appeals holds that
riding there, especially if the car was
crowded, and with the implied, if not ex-
pressed, consent of the company's agents,
did not amount to contributory negligence
Iii law on the part of Mr. Adams. Whether
standing thereon, with his back to the car
alid with his hands In his oTercoat pockets,
on very cold night, was an act of negli-
gence that, under the circumstances con-
tributed TO his fall was also d question for
the jury.
The court says, too that whether The
Charge of intcXication against Mr.. Adams
at the time was true not should have
been left to the determination of the jury.
lhe alleged failure Of the company TO close
the sliding gate next to the track was also
a matter for the jurys, considera ton, says
the court, and court, the opinion further
says. Is never justified in directing a YER
diet, except in cases where, conceding the
credibility of the witnesses and giving full
effect to every legitimate inference that
may be deduced from their testimony, ii is,
nevertheless, plain that the party has not
made out a case sufficient in law to en-
title him to a verdict.
The McAfee Case.
In the McAfee case, the plaintiffs hus-
band, James N McAfee, in passing from
| che car to obtain a seat in another, was
thrown off and killed as the train turned a
sharp curve through an extraordinary
lurching of the cars. After referring to
the principles laid down by it in the Adams
case, the Court Of Appeals says there ap-
peared to he no rule preventing the de-
Ceased from passing from one car to an
ether In a search for a seat. and that lit
would be unreasonable to hold the passing
| from one car to another, save under pecu-
mar circumstances, negligence as matter
| OF law" Ii was for the plaintiff to show
mat injury resulted from some act of neg
| ilgence on the part of the defendant, and
evidence in respect to the operation of the
train was at least sufficient TO go to the
| jury on that point.

high favor this summer.
We didn't misjudge the de-

much OF many kinds. Posi-

OF any. We certainly have
tried to make them such.
Again and again we have
had to draw upon the foun-

Fortunately each time we
have improved the character
of the effects. The qualities,
too, for that matter. In spite
OF the rush we have kept our
assortment select.
Bestness has been-and is
the all-possessing charac-
teristic. Prices have been
governed by circumstances
and conditions-and they
combine to make them lower

ever-for like qualities. Al

YOU are considering prices.

THE NONRESIDENT VOTER.


There was a great deal of voting
away from the residence precinct Of
the voter. Men went to the larger
towns to vote and hear the news.
Many of the Polk county men voted
| Marion; and so of other counties,
men voted in the adjoining counties.
The amendment to the constitution,
providing that every man vote in his
own residence precinct, which has
passed two legislatures, ought to be
adopted. Not less than 400 or 500
voters of other precinets aud counties
voted at Salem. Probably 1000 voted
in this county who live in other coun-
ties.
No doubt all, or most all, OF these
men were entitled to vote. If they
voted only once, their voting atSalem
will not change the result In the
state. 1t was the intention of the
McKlnleyltes to save Marion county
at all hazards, by few hundred votes.

THE WHEAT OF THE WORLD

Wheat is everywhere a staple. 1t
Is raised more or less In all countries
and consumed also. The wheat crop
of the United States this year is esti-
mated at 435, ZOO, 900 bushels. OF this
it 1876, 600, 900 .bashels will be needed
for home consumption and next years
seed. There is an additional 70,000,-
600 bushels left over from last year.
That gives the United States sur
plus of $50, 600, 900 bushels, or it means
from 81 100000 to 1925, 100000 will be
brought to this country because of our
wheat sales.
England is by all odds the greatest
wheat buyer in the world. She con-
sumes every year 235,OCO,OOO bushels
of wheat and raises only $4,000, 900
bushels. There is "a demand for 200,-
900, 600 bushels which must be supplied
from abroad. This supply comes in
order named from the United States,
Russia, the Argentine and India.
The great wheat producing coun-
tries of the world are, in the order
named, the United States, Russia,
France, India and the Argentine.
This year the United States will have
surplus, with last years added, of
$50, 900, 900 bushels. The condition of
Russia is unknown. 1t is esti mated,
however, that she will be 100,000,000
to $4,000, 900 short of normal crop.
Russia may be compelled to buy in
the worlds market instead of selling
In them. The Argentine will have no
wheat to export, Two years ago she
poured 6l,OO0,OOO bushels on the
markets of the world. This year
heavy rains and locusts have destroyed
much OF the growing crops anu Tue
surplus of other years is said to have
been consumed already. The normal
crop of India is in the neighborhoOd
of 230,OO0,OO0 bushels. This year it
will not be lsl 900, 900 bushels, making
shortage of $4,000, 900 bushels, India
is now buying wheat in San Fran
cisco. Australia exports about 10000
900 bushels of wheat annually, but this
year she will have to import in small
quantities.
We believe that prices will go much
higher than they are now. We can
not see how IL can be otherwise.

NOW FOR BUSINESS.

Whatever the result of the election,
all should prepare for revival of busi-
ness that must follow the long period
Of depression, ending in Presidential
contest.
There is every reason to believe that
there must be an era of more prosper
Gus times, and that the era of low
prices and financial stringency is at an
end.
With better prices for farm products
and settlement of the currency con-
troversy we may all reasonably hope
for a restoration of values in products,
labor and prosperity. We shall have
prosperity.
