ROBERTsON'S LECTURE.

One of the most interesting tea
lures OF the summer school 90 far,
was the illustrated lecture on Farm

, large court room was comfortably
filled and for an hour and q quarter,
Prof. Robertson, give his hearers
an entertainment, the like Of which
many of them never before exper-
tened. The lecture was illustrated
with stereoptiodA views showing the
buildings and many of the buildings
and many of the devices Of the
State Agricultural College,, but con
sisted mainly Of those hest suituated
to show how to solve those practical
problems of every day occurrence
in the life Of working man or
woman. u ,x4I4-..
The lecture was simply grand
and when we consider that of the
large audience, nearly 100 were live,
wide awake teachers of Southwest

Two fights are looked for, one on the
proposition to change the name of the

VERDICT FOR $500.
Mrs. TingIey Given Judgment
Against Los Angeles Times.

San Diego. Jan 13.-The jury in the
Tingley-T1mes $4,000 libel suit has
found for Mrs. Tingley in the sum of
$500.
Judge z. S. Terrence in his charge to
the jury said that there had been no
legal proof furnished to support the fol-
lowing allegations:
That numerous outrages were com
mitted by plaintiff and under her direc-
ton at Point Iona: that people We're
deprived of liberty: children and women
starved; women imprisoned in cells and
that Mrs. Tingley was a Spiritualistic
medium and an irnposter. The court
further declared there was no proof that
Mrs. Tingley had caused parents and
children to be separated and had kept
the children in confinement or that
there were immoral practices at the
home The court Instructed the jury to
regard the above allegations false. The
court in discussing most of the various
allegations made comment in this man
ner:
1.-The defendant alleges that it was
true that the institution conducted by
plaintiff is a fake and a fraud and is
carried on by the plaintiff for the pur-
pose of defrauding people who are in
duced to attend it. I declare to you as
a matter of law that there is no legal
proof of the truth of that charge and
therefore you must regard it as false"
The charges that the men and women
at Point Iona were in the habit of
making many dSOS 4uSuIIIClGnllN
clothed and were in the habit of in
dulging in immoral practices under the
direction of Mrs. Tingley were submit
ted to the jury. The court said that the
jury should decide.
''F'irst-What injury has been done to
the plaintiffs reputation and what
mental distress she has suffered, as the
natural and direct consequence of the
publication of the libelous matter con-
tained in the defendants newspaper
which the court has declared to be

"Second-If the jury should find that
the other portions of the article did not
convey the meaning given them by the
plaintiff then they would not be libel

the plaintiff could not be injured there

.'Third-The amount of money which
will con. .pensate the plaintiff
''Fourth-Was the publication of the
ibelous matter inspired by actual malice

"Fifth-If exemplary damages are to
be given, the amount which the jury be
lieves to be Just
The court then continued: THE sub
! iect of the constitutional liberty of the
press and the suggestion that the pub
lication in the Los Angles Times was a
privileged communication because it re-
ferred to the conduct and management
of a quasi-Dublic institution were not
suggested by the defendants answer
nor by any previous contention of the
defendant. but were first referred to by
its counsel in his argument TO the jury

DON'T MAKE PRICES.
ExOrbitant Charges for Anthra-
cite No Benefit to Coal Roads.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13.-The first wit
ness called before the coal strike COM
mission today was Thomas F. Torrey,
OF New York, general coal sales agent
of the Delaware & Hudson company
who told as far as he knew the prices of
coal at New York. He was first ex-
amined by Commissioner Watkins He
said his com pany has no control OF coal
prices in New York. All the conpany's
coal for tidewater is turned over to the
Hillsdale Coal and Iron company owned
by the Erie railway at Carbondale. and
coal Tor the west Is turned over to the
Erie at HOnesdale. The Delaware &
Hudson company is working with the
Erie company under the 65 and 35 per
cent. basis. Just the same as the inde-
pendent opera atOrS were doing prior to
the abrogat ton of their contracts. The
contract between the Erie and the Della
ware & Hudson is still in force. The
Delaware & Hudson gets Go per cent. Of
the average tideWater price of coal at
New York on the New Jersey side and
the Erie gets the other 50 for the Trans
portation and expense of selling the fuel.
The circular tidewater price is $5 and it
costs about 20 or 25 cents ton to trans.
port it from the New Jersey side to New
York.
Continuing Mr. Torrey said the Della
ware & Hudson had nothing to do with
the retail Drce of coal n New York, ana
his Information about such prices were
mere hearsay. In answer to Commits
siOner Clark the witness said the Della
ware d HUDSON sell direct TO dealers
and distributing houses in New York
state and New England. He further
said that the Delaware & Hudson de
rived no benefit from the abnormal
price Of retail coal.
During the examination counsel for
the miners endeavored to get the wit
ness to tell something about freight
rates, but the commission ruled out the
question Many questions were asked
which Mr. Torrey could not answer, but
he promised to bring before the commits.

Counsel for the miners objected to that
part of the statement which included

included the entire population. If the
witness could show how much the
miners consumed there would be no OBJ.
