MUST FATHER PAY WAGES
TO CHILDREN OF LEGAL AGE?
This Question C0nfronts Clayton
Jury in Suit of Sophia Ramming
to Break VIII.

Whether a father is compelled to pay
wages to his children who work for him
after they have attained their majority
is a question to be decided by a jury in
the Clayton Circuit Court in the trial OF
the case of Sophia Ramming against the
estate of Leopold Ritter, which began at
Clayton yesterday and will be ended to-
day.
Mrs. Ramming is suing for 81, 500 Ac-
cording to her allegation, she left her IA
ther after her eighteenth birthday and
started to work for wages in another
place, but was induced to return to him
on his representation that it would be
worth more to her. Despite this, however,
she was not remembered in his will and
declares she did not receive any money
from him during the service subsequent
to the attainment of her majority.
The defense maintains that the consfd-
Grafton for the services was love and af-
fection and that she is not entitled to re-
cover. A demurrer to the plaintiff' s evf-
dence was overruled by the court yester-
day afternoon.
Three of Mrs. Ramming's brothers were
also forgotten in the will, and 1t Is said
that they will file similar claims II their
sister is successful One of them claims to

The general impression in Judge
Adams's courtroom in the Federal build
ing at the close of yesterdays session at
the trial Of Senator Joseph r. Burton
seemed to be that the Government had
greatly strengthened its case and that a
conviction would be secured.
The Government had decided advan-
tage in the discussion of the various legal
points which were contested, the Court
upholding the Government in every in
stance.
Almost the entire afternoon session was
occupied in arguments as to whether the
check sent to Senator Burton by. the
Rialto Grain and Securities Company
could be admitted as evidence
The defense had apparently prepared to
contest this point in the strongest possi-
BILE manner, and 1t is believed TO be the
pivotal point In the trial Judge Chester
H. Krum and Frederick W. Lehman. at
torneys for the defense, each discussed
the point at length.
Many authorities were cited in the at
tempt to show that, If an offense had been
committed, the point of its commission
was in Washington, D. c., on the ground
that it was there that the money had
been received, and that 1t, consequently,
was out of the Jurisdiction of the United
States Court in the Eastern District of
Missouri
