TO DECIDE A FINE POINT.
Man With Pass Killed On the
Railroad.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 2S.-The
question of whether damages can be
claimed for death or injuries sustained
on free pass was argued in the Unit
ed States supreme court h: week. The
case was that of Louise II. Adams
and Frank H. Adams, of the state of
Washington, against the Northern Pa =
cifc railway.
The case was in the form of petit
ton of the railway company for a writ
of certiorari to the circuit court of ap-
peals for the ninth circuit, and the
petition was granted.
J. H. Adams was killed in an acct
while riding on pass. Action for dam
ages was brought against the railway
in the circuit court for the district
Of Washington, and judgment was
rendered for the plaintiffs, December
IA, 1900, and $4,000 awarded.
The case was appealed to the circuit
court Of appeals, and the Judgment e.f-
firmed. The action of the supreme
court today means that the circuit
court of appeals will be required to
send a certified transcript of record in
the case to the higher court for de-
cisiOn on the merits.

His methods of carrying the primal

dividuality. In each precinct he has
secured at least one good worker, and
in the most of them two and in some
three or four. Each one Of these is un-
der obligations to secure the names of
at least five voters in the precinct who
will sign petition pledging themselves
to support a Fawcett delegation to rep
resent the precinct in the republican
convention. These petitions are then
taken to the Fawcett headquarters, and
as they come in FaWcett knows exact

In addition to these pledged votes
