FOR CEDAR RAPIDS OFFICE.
Cousins Will Seek to Secure Large Ap
nropriation,

proprtaSioH.
Cedar RAPIDS. Feb 29.-Congressmai
Cousins yesterday introduced in con-
gress a bill providing for an appropria-
ton OF $4,000 for ground and addi-
ton to the Cedar. Rapids postofftce
building.
1t is understood that Mr.. cousins
originally intended to ask for s2oO,0oo
bu, for some reason he has changed his
mind. although the greater sum VIII
undoubtedly be required in carrying
out the plans for the purposed addition
which have been approved by the
proper officials of the treasury depart
ment.
1t ,s not expected that the appro-
priation vii, become available. nor IN
deed. that the biM will pass at the
present sitting of Congress, but that
it will be held UP until after the
presidential election and allowed at
the beginning OF the next term in Dec
ember.
All who have studied the situation
at all realize the Importance OF the
proposed addition to the federal build-
ing, which is inadequate so far as
the postoffice Is concerned and which
is also lacking in accommodations for
the federal court and railway mail
service officials quartered there. It
has been hoped that the appropria :
ton might become available this
spring. but that now seems entirely out
of the question.

Special to Times Republican.

Davenport, Feb. IS. = A decision
which will be OF Importance not only
Scott county, but turnout the state. has
been handed down by Judge Bollinger
the Rock Island road which is nov
pending before the court. The court
held that a contract which Mu,nfor1
was alleged to have signed agreeing q
give the company notice within thirty
days in case of accident was not valid
being contratry to section 201l OF the
code. which declares void contracts
or agreements restricting the liability
of railway companies.
This point in the case has been
watched with great interest by rail-
road men in the three cities. 1t IS
so far as known. the first time that
this particular contract, which 1t IS
claimed many railway employees sign.
has ever been questioned in the courts.
The same section of the code has been
cited in many cases OF shippers
against the railroad companies. the
shippers signing contracts limiting the
liability of the company after they
have sustained damages endeavorlng
to recover.
The legal points in the dispute were
holly contested all Saturday after
noon and part of this morning. Cook
& Dodge. attorneys for the railway
company amended their answer to the
original petition. setting up the con-
tract. Ely & Bush, attorneys for Mr..
Mumford, replied. questioning the le-
gality of the statute. This point was
threshed out Saturday. The contract
will, therefore, not be allowed in evil
dence.
The case Is one wherein d. Roy
Mumford asks $4,000 for injuries al
legged to have been received while
braking for the Rock Island road.
