ROAD WINS SUIT
JUDGE SAYRE RULED VOUCHERS
WE'RE A RELEASE.
It Was Argued That the Requiring
Of Employe to Sign Advance
Release Was Uncon-
stitutional.

The Harrison case ended yesterday in
the city court but the attorneys for Mr.
Harrison announced that it would be
carried to the Supreme Court. The case
resulted in a victory for the Plant Sys-
TEN.
Judge Sayre entered a jury verdict for
the defendant The attorneys for the
Plant System claimed that Mr.. Harrison
signed an agreement absolving the road
from any damages that he might sustain
in return for which he was to receive
in casesof injury free hospital treatment
and free medical attention and his salary
should go on. just the same. The COM
pany's attorneys also introduced vouch-
ers signed by the plaintiff releasing them
from all damages in view of the fact
had given him medical attention.
Mr.. Harrison claimed that he did not
go to a hospital belonging to the rail-
road, nor did he receive any attention
from their physicians. He said that he
was paid his regular salary while suffer-
ing from his injury and that he had
signed a voucher for the salary but he
did not remember signing any paper re-
leasing the company from any claim
for damages. His attorneys argued that
the requirements OF the railroad that all
its employees sign papers FIRE sing the road
from any claim for damages in the event
of injuries was unconstitutional. They
claimed that it was against public policy
and was in conflict with the Constitution.
Judge Sayre ruled against the plaintiff
on the question OF the vouchers. He
ruled that the vouchers which the plain
if had signed was a release for the road.
The claim that they had been secured by
fraud was not a SUFFICIENT defense.
This ruling of Judge Sayre practically
ended the case.
Mr., Harrison was suing the road for
$50, 900 for injuries received In the Clay
bank trestle wreck two years ago.

 'srhe Streets of the Roasted Corn Is one of the curious names of streets in Pekin and suggests the singular and often confusing names given to Chinese vil- lages.

Smith, in lis bright and accurate book on Village Life in China" says that a market town on the highway the well of which afforded only brackish water, was called Bitter Water shop" but as this name was not pleasing to the ear it was changed on the tax lists to Sweet Water Shop If any one asked how 1t was that the same fountain could thus send forth at the same time waters both bitter and sweet, he was answered, Sweet Water Shop is the same as Bitter Water Shop

HOW DOES NEWS TRAVEL SEE.
 CRETLY?
From the London Spectator.

lHe LOnuon spectator.
 A lady. writing in the Spectator of Feb- ruary 15 last, mentions that the death of Ameer of Afghanistan was known i'm the bazaars in October, 1901, well in ad- vance of the official news; and also that when the Roumanfa was wrecked if was known on a Saturday that a big steamer carrying piece goods had been wrecked in the Red Sea, though inc agents of the line did not receive the news till the following Monday News travels with equal celerity in Africa. We read in Wilson's Behind the Scenes in the Transvaal: Again and again have Kaffrs reported events hours and even days before the news could possibly have got through by ordinary channels I re- member for example, how the Kaffirs in Pret oria detailed the account of the can ture of Maloboch at least four hours be- fore the first telegram arrived in Pre- toria; and numbers of people who have passed through the experience of native wars in South Africa have testified to similar instances. It may be that the items of news are shouted from hill to hill. as suggested by some matter-of- fact persons who do not know the Kaffir or his country. but it is passing strange that no white person ever appears to have heard this shouting. not even in dis tricts where every white man under stands the Kaffr language as thoroughly as his own. Whatever the true explana- ton may be, 1t has not oeen brought for ward yet, and the fact remains that the Kaffirs have some means, unknown to whites, by which they can transmit in- telligence vast distances under conditions that prelude the possibility of their hav- ing employed any agency that we are fla miliar with"

Wealth In Clay.

New Jersey has immense wealth in
its clay deposits. In 1898 the total
production of raw clay in the United
States was $50, $40 tons, of which
New Jersey contributed 2l5, CAB tons
or nearly one half. In clay products
in 1900 our output was worth $40. 1913,
428 Ohio which produces only about
10 per cent as much raw clay as New
Jersey, had an output of clay products
in 1900 of $18, 304, 628, or about 81,
500, 600 more than New Jersey. In
Ohio, the State College has a depart
meDt of ceramics, which trains work
ers in clay, They are taught the char
acter and composition of the various
clays, how to mix them to pro-
duce desired results, and how to deal
with the numerous problems i'll clay
working that are constantly before
the potter. Except in Ohio, Iowa, and
New York, there is no school where
clay workers can be taught, and our
potteries have to import foreign
skilled superintendent and foremen.
Lit is now proposed to establish q GER
amics course, with state aid, at the
State College at New Brunswick, and
use the nom metallic natural products
of the State as the major studies in
chemical ceramic engineering and in
a summer school. The merits of the
proposition are apparent at once. In
MiddIesex county alone there are
nearly 5000 persons employed in
brick baking, and their product in one
year amounted to over So, 600, 000aa
There are tangible and sure returns
to be had for the money spent in the
training of skilled clay workers, for
they will go forth to develop q great
mine of wealth in the State and TO
build up the great pottery and other
clay industries by American skill
and labor. Newark Advertiser.
