DECISION FOR THE HEIRS
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision in
the Suit Of the Heirs OF Fred Stevens
Against the Insurance Company.

under the policy, and the statements
made by him as to the cause of death
We're based entirely upon hearsay,
such statements could not be- con-
sudered as competent evidence of
matters therein recited as against the
fant plaintiffs, so as to relieve de-
fendant from the necessity of proving
such facts. Suck statements are ad-
missions of the guardian alone, and
not of the infants, and the guardian
has the authority to make admissions
against the interests of his wards.
4. Where defendant sought to re
duce it's liability under an accident
policy by bringing the case within a
provision herein, limiting it's liability
to one-tenth of the face of the policy
in case death resulted from an injury
Intentionally inflicted by insured or
another person. tt @ intent to inJure or
kill. on the part of the person inflict-
ing the injury becomes an essential
part Of the proof, and the infiction Of
the injury does not raise a presump-
tion that it was done Intentionally
5. Intention is question of fact to
be inferred from the act itself and
the surrounding circumstances; so.
where the burden of proof is upon a
party to show that a shooting was
done with intent to kill or injure, the
court capnot require the jury to find
that the act was Intentionally done if
the facts and circumstances proved
can be reconciled with an accidental
or non-intentional injury.
6. Tie evidence in this case is
consistent with an intentional shoot
ing of the insured by third person.

not negative an accidental or non in
territorial shooting The case, there

MUTUAL DESIRE FOR PEACE.
Russian Foreign Office Reticent Re
garding Negotiations.

St Petersburg. Dec 3.-Inquiry has
been made at the foreign Office re-
specting the announcement from Paris
that basis for an agreement between
Russia and Japan had been reached.
1t was impossible to secure any con
firmation beyond the statement that
a mutual desire for peace exists, to
which both negotiants have expressed
adherence With this end in view
they have both decided temporarily to
put aside questions whose decision, on
account Of the position of each, is
found to be impracticable.
The negotiations, so far as Russia
is concerned, are confined to delimit'
ing the rights of railroad, telegraph,
etc. of each in Korea. Japan holds
in abeyance the Manchurian questions,
concerning which Russia declines to
treat on the ground that they are mat
tiers between her and China, until she
ascertains whether a satisfactory ar
rangement is reachable regarding Ko
rea. Russia contends that Japan
treaty rights in Manchuria were Sc
cured from China and stand on the
same footing as those of the United
States and the other powers.
Russias reply to the latest Japan
ese proposals is still unsent. Wher
it is framed it will not be in the nature
of an ultmatum, but it may lead tt
counter proposals. Ii is possible tha
the end may be new Russo-Japanest
treaty covering Korea.
