1000 LIVES
FOR EVERY
MILE CUT +?

Washington. March le.-The house
committee on Interstate and foreign
committee today further heard Prof
William H. Burr on the question OF
sanitation OF the Panama canal route.
The isthmian canal commission had, he
said, regarded the subject as one OF
the greatest importance. The works Of
sanitation would be chiefly the construc-
ton OF water works and a sewage sys-
tenn for the cities OF Panama and Colon.
and the drainage OF districts between
those cities.
lie estimated the cost at s20oo.00o. The
completion OF the canal, he said, could
be accomplished in eight or nine years.
Answering Mr.. Hepburn. Prof. Burr
said that where men are careless In their
habits on the isthmus the mortality Is
high. He had never heard that a thou
sand men lost their lives for every mile
OF the canal so far as work had been
done upon IL, nor had he ever heard OF a
graveyard containing 5000 graves or
laborers, or that out OF 800 Chinese
laborers, 500 had died in three months.
Prof Burr was subjected TO many
questions, mostly bearing on the amount
OF excavations made by the two French
companies and said that they had ex-
cavated about 100000 yards. two-thirds
OF which was useful, leaving 900
cubic yards 10 be excavated.

REARGUMENT
DENIED
BY COURT

Some time ago the defendants petition
for new trial in the case or william
Hehir against the Rhode Island company
was denied by the appellate division OF
the supreme court. Counsel for the de-
fendant was not satisfied and asked leave
TO re-argue the petition.
Judge Tillinghast, speaking for the
court today. denies ana uismisses the
motion OF counsel for the defendant In
the opinion handed down on this motion
for re-argument Judge Tillinghast says
'erhis case was very fully and care
fully considered by the court before rem
dering the decision now complained OF
by defendants counsel. and, after read
ing his brief i'm support OF his motion
for a re-argument, we fail TO see that ne
has pointed out any error committed by
the court I'm said decision. Couhsel cILu
cises the rule adopted by the court 'nae ahe
where the evidence is conflicting the
case Is one which Is peculiarly Wlthn tuo
province OF the jury to decide; conte.in
Ing that under such a broad RUE I,le
slider a petition for new trial, paseu
upon the ground OF the verdict pelns
agaoinst the evidence; because every ass case
has two sides, and there must or neces-
sity be conflicting evidence In every case.
"He argues further that the law does
not contemplate such rigid rule and that
II Is only i'm cases where the testimony
Ia sufficiently conflicting 10 make IL
doubtful where the preponderance may
he that the court would refuse to Inter
fere with the verdict The rule which
the court adopted--or rather followed
"a and always has been the rule which
controls in petitions for new trials. not
only I'm this state but wherever the com
mon law Is I'm force. Questions or fact
are for the jury 10 try and determine.
And where the evidence as to the exist
ence OF these facts which are put In issue
Is conflicting and OF such a character
that fair minded men might honestly
differ as to the result thereof, the ver-
dict OF the jury is final and conclusive.
And this is so even II the court or an
other jury might come TO different
conclusion upon the same facts.
1.-The language OF the former rescript
criticised by counsel does not mean that
where there Is merely technical or
nominal conflict I'm the testimony the
court may not reverse the finding Of the
fury, for no court OF last resort ever
adopts such n rule. All that the court
meant by the use OF the language crit
icised. and that any court means there
by, was that the testimony the positive
and substantial testimony introduced
by the respective parties TO the case at
the trial thereof was so conflicting that
the court would not say that the verdict
was clearly and palpably wrong"
In the opinion OF the majority of the
court I'm this case there was sufficient
evidence to sustain the verdict
