Marry and Become Dependent
on Husband.

NEW YORK, May H.-Judge Fred
erick Adams. in the Essex county clr-
cult court at Newark, n. J., has handed
down decision that. according to we'll
versed lawyers, is novel in New Jersey.
The decision is that the life of a healthy
boy is worth twice as much as that of
a girl in equal health and of the same
age.
Judge Adams decision was on motions
made by Richard v Lindabury. counsel
for the North Jersey Street Railway
Company, to upset one verdict for 5000
given by a jury in favor OF Evan II.
Eastwood. and another for 5000 rem
dered in favor of Henry Werpupp.
The suits grew out of the Clifton Ave

trolley car and a Lackawanna Railroad
train. nine Newark High School pupils
lost their lives.

Eastwood is the father of Evan F. ].
Eastwood. the only boy killed in the
accident. while Werpupp is the father
of Ella Werpupp, one of the girl victims
The application TO upset or reduce the
verdicts was made some time ago, on
the ground that the damages awarded in
each case were excessive
Judge Adams announced that the
Eastwood verdict would stand but that
the werpupp verdict was excessive and
that the plaintiff must accept s.. CO., with
the alternative of undergoing another
trial The court said:
THE verdict of 5000 in the Eastwood
case has never seemed to me TO be eX-
cessive That was my first impression
and l still maintain il. Let US look at
the matter.

 yer to Their Cattle.

Arkansas City. Kan, January e-The head Indians of the oteo and Ponca tribes at council today in the Ponca reserva- ton. decided not to lease their lands to Texas cattlemen for the pasturage of southern cattle.

Oklahoma cattlemen who raise native cattle will be afforded . larger acreage of pasturage lands.
