READING DAMAGE
CASE CONTINUED
Witnesses for the Defense
on The Stand
Mr.. Bird Tells Mr.. IIilIes lie Is
No Fool and The Latter Heartily
Agrees

In Superior Court this morning the
case of George +. Winkler, against the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
was continued. Winkler seeks to re
cover $4,000 for injuries to his hand,
in October. 1901. Several of the train
crew were placed on the stand for the
defense. and testified that although
both the tender Of the engine and the
car that they were about to couple at
the time of the accident were equipped
with the Janney coupler, Il was neces-
sary to use a bullnose to swing the
cars around the curves, which led into
The Diamond State Steel Company s
plant.
Charles Schwartz, engineer. testified
that he had backed his engine against
the car carefully, as the coupling Of a
bullnose was more difficult than that
Of an automatic.
w. a. Deisen. yartlmaster, demon
strated how a coupling was made with
the bullnose. Mr. Hllles introduced a
knuckle OF an automatic coupler. and
attempted TO ask Mr. Deisen what it
was. when Mr.. Bird objected.
Argument followed, and Mr.. Bird
grew warm: IL am not fool,
Mr.. IIilles." he said, "and don't want
YOU to try and bring something before
my witness that l have not asked him
in my examination in chief"
my dear friend, l did not intimate
for a moment that you were such. and
I don't want you to say So" returned
Mr. Hilles.
All Of the testimony being in. the
prayers of the attorneys we're submit
ted TO the court and lengthy authori-
ties were offered on both sides. The
case will go TO the jury this afternoon.

TRAMPN SCARCE
SAY FARMRRN
As a Consequence They Have
Trouble Getting Help
KOrkhOuSe Acts as a Scare Grow and
Freight Crews Rejoice at The
Change

Where are the tramps who usually
invade at this time OF the year?' This
is a question the farmers i'm Delaware
are asking. There is one thing sure,
They are not in the truck or berry belt.
and to the farmers the absence of these
wayfarers is a serious matter. For
years they have been depending on
them to help out during the berry and
fruit season.
Freight crews on the Delaware rail-
road bear out the statements Of the
farmers that tramps are scarce this
summer. IL is a rare thing to find them
on freight trains. Heretofore the
crews have had mudh trouble with
these knights of the road" The train
men are glad the tramps are not nu-
merOus.
Chief of Police Black this morning
said there were few tramps in the city
and he attributed ii 10 the fact That
they were working in the lower part OF
the State. When told that they were
scarce there. he said he thought the
wOrkhOuse had something to do with
these wanderers keeping away from
Delaware. Quite a number have been
sent to the worlohouse for long terms
and it has become nOised through the
tramp world that Delaware DIS a bad
place.
Another reason is that the railroads
passing through Wilmington have beer
making raids on these trespassers, and
Magistrate Hollis has sent a number
TO the worlShouse for terms ranging
from ten to thirty days.
1t is almost time for the BOhcmians
who work in the field and canneries
to make their annual pilgrimage Z,

freeing Cuba from Spanish rule. 1t was.
therefore. understood by those in Europe
engaged In trade with Cuba that no meas
ures would be adopted at the conclusion OF
the war which would restrict or destroy

II is represented that French and German

might be effectual in preventing a change
