Supreme Court Digest.
(Reported BY Jos. l. seawell. }

(Reported by JOS. L. Seawell)
MCLEOD, appellant, VS.. GRAHAM. From
Cumberland. Reversed.
An error in calculating the amount of
an award is like an error in the calcula-
tion of their amount by jury, which
cannot be brought forward at a subse-
quent term, upon a statement of the jul
rors, TO set aside a Judgment regularly
entered upon the verdict.
STATE Tvs. CROOK, appellant. From
Union. Affirmed.
The fact that the landlords lien for
rent stipulates for a certain amount of
cotton as rent. does not release his lien
on any and all crops raised on the land.
Code Sec. 1854.
Whatever crop tenant raises, gathers
or gets In any way out of the land is sub
jcct to the landlords lien until his rent
is paid, and the tenant is forbidden to
remove any part thereof without paying
the rent or having the landlords consent
for the removal of such crop.
The landlords lien attaches to all the
crops and hence applies to hay whether
moved from natural or cultivated grass.
RAILROAD VS.. LUMBER CO., appellant.
From Caldwell. Proceeding dismissed.
Proceedings to condemn land under
Chapter 40 of The Code are special pro-
ceedings under the C. C. P. and must be
commenced by summons issued by the
clerk of the Superior court.
Such a proceeding commenced without
summons but by service of notice
signed by the petitioner or his counsel,
will be dismissed.
The burden of proof is on the petitioner
in proceedings to condemn land under sad
CHAPTER 40, when issues of fact are
joined.
The profile and survey required by
CHAPTER 396. Laws of 1893, should be def
mite and specific.
PEPPER, appellant, VS.. CLEGG. From
Orange. Reversed.
A party TO an action is not relieved of
the duty of giving it his personal attcn-
ton by employing counsel to represent
HIM.
Excusable neglect was not shown in a
motion to set aside a Judgment on such
ground. where it appeared that about SIX
Gays before the term. the defendant 8
counsel requested the plaintiffs counsel by
mail to have the case continued and lett
the next day before receiving an answer
and did not return until the day after the
trial that about the same time the de-
tendants counsel left, the defendant him
sell also left the State for his health,
but 1t did not appear that he was physl-
cally unable to attend court and that the
defendant paid no attention to the cause
except 10 wire, on the day of trial, an

DESERVING THE WEST
FOR CANADIAN HOMES
American Farmers Moving
in Great Numbers.
GENERAL C0RBIN'S VIEW
Having Witnessed the Migration, He
Thinks an Investigation Should
Be Made.

Thoughtful persons must be i'm
pressed by the great army of settlers
which is going into the Northwest Ter
ritory from the United States. While I
was travelling on the Northern Pacific
last week conductor told me he had
taken 500 American settlers into Canada
the day before, and said it was nothing
unusual for that number to cross the
Canadian line on trains from the United
states, remarked Major Gen. Henry c.
Corbin, who returned yesterday from
a tour of inspection OF Western army
posts. This movement has been going
on for several years and will continue.
1t is interesting TO consider what
changes the settlement of Western Can
ada by American farmers will bring
about.

1t has been impossible to keep an &C
count of ell those persons who are
continually crossing and recrossing the
Canadian and Mexican borders. 1t has
been said in the Canadian parliament
that half OF the immigrants entering
Canada eventually find their way into
the United States. Indeed. Canada rank
ed third as the birthplace of the foreign
born population In the United States in
1900. Germany was first. with a total
of 2,669.l64 Ireland second. with 1913,
469. and Canada next with 1,1S3 ,225.
Before 1920 no records OF immigration
were kept, but II has been reckoned
that the immigration between the years
1854 and 1884 amounted to 1000 a year
In the year 1920. s,3s5 aliens entered this
country. Since that time irnmi grat ton

Work---A Total ofi20000,O00.

The total recorded immigration into
the United States since the year 1920
is in round numbers 20. O0O. 600 persons.
These figures have been compiled by
the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. The num-
Der of foreign born persons now living
in the United States Is more than TO-
100000. and the number of persons of
foreign parentage exceeds 20. 600 600.
immigration into the United States in
the fiscal year just ended was S57 ,O46-
more than for any previous year in the
history of the country. 1t has been
said that the political influence of this
vast foreign element in the United
States is strong enough to prevent the
passage of immi grafton laws that will
curtail the immigration to any great
extent.

WARDEN BUSSINGER
LOSES HIS POSITION

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 3.-The scandal
az to the management OF the Eastern
Penitentiary eliminated this evening In
the ousting from his position of Warden
Daniel W. Bussinger. This action was
taken at a star chamber session OF the
prison inspectors, who did not make pub
lie the arguments or testimony which
had caused them to reach this decision.
The warden's official downfall was
brought about through the recent charges
that convicts under his care had manu-
featured counterfeit money in their cells
and that there had been wholesale in
fractions OF the internal revenue laws
relative to the manufacture of cigars In
the prison.

be even more gracious than usual to

on Col G. L. Godfrey. a veteran Of

service. 1t was early in the morning
and the colonel was busy at his desk and
not in the best of humor
Remembering that he used to go to
see the colonel for news in the days
when he was newspaper man out in
the Hawkeye State, Mr.. Armstrong asked
him for a story. The colonel not only
mistook the Assistant Secretary for a

KEYSTONE SHAPE FOR
STATUE GRANDSTANDS
Unwilling Exercises in New Style
Amphitheater.

Rapid progress has been made on the
grandstands for the sherman statue IN
yelling exercises Of October IS, and al
ready the general plan of the court of
honor is apparent TO sightseers. The
shape will be practically that of key
stone, with the Presidents stand at the
north as the top.
In order to afford all guests on the
two side stands an equal opportunity of
seeing and hearing everything included
in the program, these stands have been
laid out on lines not parallel to the
sides of the statue. They are. in fact.
at such an angle as almost 10 inclose
the statue on the south. Sufficient space
is left there. however. to permit a good
view of the troops to be assembled be-
yond while the exercises are in prog
ress.
The Presidents stand at the north
end of the inclosure Will be rooted over.
while the side stands will not be COW
cred. The reason for this is not only
that it will afford protection to the
President and party from rain and
wind, but also that 1t may act as
a sounding board for the speakers of
the day. All along the Enclosure will be
placed flags and bunting, making an
amphitheater of impressive appearance
when the exercises are in progress
As many as 100 members Of the Sher-
man family and connections are expect
ed at the unwilling. In addition there
will be seats for the Diplomatic Corps
and other distinguished guests. Details
concerning the Presidents participation
in the exercises will not be determined
until a few days before the affair.

Shrewd Coup at Secret

ONE CHAPTER SUSPENDED
Mary Sherman Miles Members Left Out
of the Fold-Prominent
Visitors Coming.

Further troubles in the ranks of the
Spanish War Veteran Auxiliaries. such
as that in which Mrs. Isabella Worrell
Ball figured, have been made impossible
in the future by a change In the ma
tional constitution abolishing State aux
iliaries.
The action was taken secretly at the
conclusion OF the regular sessions held
in New Haven In the past week.
The District chapter, representing the
four associations in Washington, OF
which Mrs Ball was acting president.
has been wiped out of existence, as well
as all others throughout the country.

Harmony is thus thrust upon the
local members, and there is little like
lihood Of additional wrangles The only
remaining disturbing element is the fail
ure of the Mary Sherman Miles Auxh-
airy TO be reinstated.
In the future, the national body Is to
have complete Jurisdiction over the va
tween the two will be free from inter-
ference.
AS no action was taken at the conven-
ton on the suspension Of the Mary Sher-
man Miles Auxiliary. an appeal will
probably be made TO the new admins
trative council for reinstatement
The suspension was caused by the re-
ported refusal of the members to elm
mate an Objectionable resolution from
the minutes. The president is Mrs.

The three questions of greatest i'm
portance to Washington members OF the

were the expulsion Of Mrs. Ball. the
