and 4 Document in the Court Room
A verdict for 81 500 against Russell Sage
and in favor OF Roberts Co.. brokerage
firm. who said Mr.. Sage owed them that
amount on a transaction in stock OF the
Terre Haute and indianapolis Railroad
was returned yesterday by jury peiore
Supreme Court Justice Barrett. Mr.. sage
did not appear In court, but his testimony
was taken by a deposition and read to tne
Jury. william E. Coffin. manager OF Hce.
erts d Co., gave his side OF the case IN court
Yesterday. 1t was to this effect:
Terre Haute stock was in demand IN
December, 1900, while 1t was yet unlisted.
Mr.. Sage was known to hold 400 shares OF
the stock, which was then quoted at about
90, and Coffin interviewed him several times
with the object OF getting an option. mr.
Sage refused at first to give the option AZ
less than 1875, but he finally came down 70
100 share, and at this price, according 10
Coffin. Mr.. Sage initialled the following
option at 1 o clock on Jan. 10, lsoi:
Il, 10, Russell Sage gives option " unIii u
l o'clock, II, at 1870, on +oo shares Oh l. "a
and l-R. B.
When Coffin went to close the transaotton
on the 18th Mr.. Sage refused to deliver the
stock, saying that he had learned that
he could get a better price for II IN the
market. He said he was not going TO %
robbed IL he could help 1t, and showed
Coffin the door. Coffin went TO harvey
Fisk, the banker, and returned to Mr.. sage
with s24 900 in cash Coffin then demanded
delivery Of 200 shares at 100, but again M
Sage refused. After some discussion Mr.
Sage offered to sell II Coffin would ngree 70
divide the profits on the stock with him.
but as Coffin would not tell how much
profit he expected to make that proposal
also fell through. Subsequently MI sage
sold the stock at 1921 and 1t is the difference
Of l215 on 200 shares which Roberts Co'
sued to recover.
Mr.. Sage's testimony was to the enect
that he had never made any such contract
with Coffin. He denied that he had IN,
itialled an option on the stock. and declared
that he had always refused to give Comm
an option. He admitted having at Coffin's
request initialled number Of papers bear

HUBBIEs FOR NEW YORK GIRLS
Kansas Agent Gets Many Applications.
but Ia Not Satisfied.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 10.-In spite OF the
fact that New York city store and shop
girls ridicule Employment Agent Gerow
for trying to get them to come to Kansas
City for homes and husbands, he Is receiv-
ing many letters from girls who want to
know what kind of husbands they can find
out here. Mr.. Gerow said tonight that
if he was inclined to make matrimonial
bureau out of his Office he would not have
to do anything but find farmer husbands
for women who want to get out OF stores
and shops and spend quiet life on Kansas
farm.
"The trouble with some Of these New
York girls" he said. is that they don't
want to milk the cows, make butter, raise
chickens and take the products to town
for their money. The young Kansas farm
ers who are looking for wives want girls
who will pitch in and help them to make
money, and stop thinking about corsets,
face massage and such foolishness. Nature
and the Kansas climate are good enough
for the wife Of a Kansas farmer

OByECTION TO NEW c. S. RULES.
Mayor Low Intimates, However, That He
VIII Approve Them.

The Mayor gave public hearing yester-
day on the revised rules of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, devised to simplify the
ratings and gradinrs of candidates for pro-
motion and to reclassify examinations for
appointments. j. Warren Greene Of the
Civil Service Reform Association objected
to the clauses governing ungraded classes
Ne said.
We consider that the civil service law
requires that all positions shall be graded
for promotion. and the logical way to do this
is to provide some general scheme OF grading
automatically that will apply to all positions
there are n large number of positions which
are placed definitely in the ungraded classes,
thereby leaving many positions that need
not be filled by promotion.
The Mayor intmated that he would ap-
prove of the new rules unless some more
substantial objections were laid before
him.
