WINS SUIT
JUDGMENT AGAINST OWNERS OF
NOEAU.
Inter-Islapd Company Ordered To
Pay 5000 To The Former Mate of
the Irmgard.

United States Judge Estee this morn
ing gave a decision in the case of Hans
Lorenzen against the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company, awarding
the plaintiff S2,940 and costs, damages
for injuries he received on board the
barkentine Irmgard, on January 80,
from a sling load of sugar that came
from the Noeau. The decision is a
lengthy one, reviewing much of the
evidence.
The court says in it's conclusions:
THAT the injury to libellant was caus-
ed by the improper handling of the ap-
plances ard gear of the Noeau by the
officers ana crew thereof, who had eX-
elusive control of the same in the
transfer of this sugar is plain, after a
consideration of all the evidence; and
the fact of this exclusive control is an
important element in this class of
cases.
1T is in evidence that Lorenzep was
acting as first officer of the Irmgard,
at a salary of sixty dollars per month
when the accident occurred that he
was physically a sound, well man,
when he was injured; that he holds a
certificate as first officer for sail and a
certificate as second officer for steam
1t seems reasonable to suppose that if
this injury had not been inflicted, he
would have been a sound man and
able to pursue his calling uninterrupt-
edly at a salary of at least sixty dol
lars per month for many years to
come. l will allow libellant the sum of
fourteen hundred and forty dollars,
being the amount of wages at the rate
of sixty dollars per month, which it is
reasonable to assume he would have
been able to earn in two years from
the time of the injury had he not been
deprived of the ability to do so by this
! injury.
In addition thereto, libellant is en-
titled to something for the injury it
self and the pain and suffering cOnse-
quent thereon. In most of the cases
examined by the court wherein inju-
ries of a similar nature were sustain
| ed the average damages assessed is
about four thousand dollars, in full of
| everything. However, in the main,
these cases show an injury if not
greater at the outset, yet more severe
! in the permanent disabling effects than
! in the case at bar. l am therefore of
! opinion that in view of all the clrcum-
| stances of this case, the sum of fifteen
hundred dollars would be a fair COM
pensation for the extra pain and suf-
! fering endured by libellant and will al
! low that amount in addition to the
| fourteen hundred and forty dollars al
| ready allowed, making a total of two
! thousand nine hundred and forty dol
lars, together with costs of suit"
Smith & Lewis appeared for the de-
! fendant and j. j. Dunno for the plain
| tiff, who sued for $4,000 and expenses
of his illness amounting to $24O.

dShlllB LOT an OpiHlOn from my Depart
ment as to whether you are justified in
registering warrants issued by the
auditor, for the payment of claims
awarded by the Fire Claims commits
sion.
81 think you are.
Very respectfully yours,
"E. p. DOLE,
Attorney General"
Attorney General Dole this morning
furnished the above opinion to the
Treasurer in response to an inquiry
from him. The warrants will not be
given out just yet, however Though
many of the certificates of award have
gone to the claimants the warrants
are not all ready, and there may be
some days more delay before warrants
are distributed.
At O'clock this morning, the hour
set for the giving out of fire claims
certificates of award, number of at
torneys and Chinese claimants appear
ed at the office of j. NJ Riggs, Clerk OF
the court, to get their certificates =
schedule of fees for certificates had
been adopted by the commission, and
sign was up to the effect that only
cash or certified checks would be re-
CeiVed in payment for the fees.
The fee charges were a surprise to
many of the claimants, and there was
some kicking. Whiting & Robinson
were invited to pay S2,1OO.in fees be-
fore they could get certificates for
their $500 clients, who are mostly Chi
nese. Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan,
who had a large number of claims al
so, had to put up l,600 in fees. The
schedule of charges is as follows: Ger
titicates of awards under $50 % cents:
from $50 to $1O0, 90 cents; from $lOO to
$500, $l.O0; over $500, "a each.
Some Of those who came after GER
titicates declared that they would pay
the fees under protest, and it may be
that there will be a contest over the
matter In the courts. The commission
VIII probably collect over $1,000 in fees.
The money is needed for the expenses
of the court which some time ago had
to borrow from local business men in
order to keep going, its appropriation
having been exhausted.
Few of the claimants know yet what
they have received. over 5000 of the
awards are in the hands of attorneys,
and it will take many days to find out
what they are. Cuts from the amounts
claimed are evident on every hand,
however. One attorney who took a
small bunch away said that the awards
were an average of about 80 per cent
of the amounts asked for. Another
thought he had awards for about &C
per cent of the claims put in by him.
Poon Kwai, secretary of the Chinese
consul, was among those early on
hand. The Chinese and japanese
claimants are anxious to know how
much they have been awarded, and
their attorneys VIII lose no time in go-
ing through the claims and letting
them know results. 1t will be a big
job, however, for lawyers to wade
through hundreds, and in two cases
thousands Of claims, and the claimants
will have to wait a while longer yet.
BY eleven o'clock the rush was over
and all of the big lots of claims had
been given out, except the bundle fol
| Whiting and Robinson. 1t will take
some time to go through and check thi;
lot, and they may be given out this
afternoon.

He Was Suspended in Midair.

Chicago, sept. 2O.-McNaughton
Wright, member OF the board OF
trade, hung this morning between
life and death for twenty minutes at
the top of a grain chute in the Rock
Island elevator. When rescued Mr..
Wright was exhausted and upon the
point of releasing his hold, which
would have meant a fall of 100 feet
to the hard floor of an empty bin,
and almost certain death.
He had entered the elevator to
inspect some wheat. Making mis-
step he fell into the chute, but sue
ceeded in clutching the edge and
hanging by his hands. Mr.. Wright's
calls for help were finally heard by
an employee. He tainted and was
