thorized by the statement made in an
| swer 10 questions in the first application
and, that the ceart Should have in
structed the jury that the answers In
the second application were fully au-
thorized from those made in the first
and that If they We're untrue, the
plaintiff could not recover But the
plaintiff contended that the answers
10 the questions contained in the Sec
ond applications were not authorized
by facts stated in the first and hence
were not the answers of the deceased
and We're not binding upon him or upon
the plaintiff
In this class of cases we think it a
sound rule of law that an application
for life insurance signed in blank by
one desiring Insurance and filled in
by the company or it's agents should
be construed more favorably to the
applicant.
Upon an analysis of the two applica-
tions we think the most that can be
said with respect to their identity is
that if the applicant had read or been
personally interrogated with respect
to the questions and answers In the
second application he might have an .
Swered the same as he did In the first.
and he might have answered in an
entirely different way. The answers
in the second application cannot there
fore be said to be such necessary in
ferenceS from those contained in the
first as tn be regarded as a statement
OF the applicant and therefore binding
upon him. In order to defeat the claim
of the person insured, who has paid
the consideration required for the in
surance received. upon the ground
that the insured made misrepresentn-
tions as to the risk in his applica uQn,
il is incumbent upon the company to
show that the misrepresentation were
his and not mistakes or rnisrepresenta-
tiOhs of their own. When an fnsur-
ance company or its agents undertake
to fill in an application from a pre-
vious application or statement made
by the applicant. 1t should be held tn
the strictest adherence to the terms of
such application of statement made
otherwise it would be in the power Of
the company or it's agents in such
case to fraudulently destroy the legal
status of the policy so obtained.
Exceptions overruled.

RUSSIAN REFUGEES
FIoeking Into Austria-Many Wealthy
People Reduced to Beggary.

Vienna. Dec. 7.-Dispatches receiv-
ed here from Lamberg say that large
numbers of Russian refugees are COM
ing in daily. There are 500 Of them at

gary.

murders and rioting continue at Kieff.
The refugees who have arrived at
Podwoloezyska say that excesses
against the Jews have occurred at
Schmcrynka and Serbinowow. No
details are given.
Trains from Odessa and Vienna are
now arriving at PodwoloeZyska on
time and fewer refugees and kilograms
are being forwarded by the railroad.
The telegraph operators at Ger
nOwitZ say that the governor Of Odes-
sa has posted notices in the streets
to the effect that the slightest distur-
Dances will Immediately be put down
with rifles. Large numbers of troops
are stationed in and around Odessa.
An official statement says 5000 per-
sons ,have been killed at Odessa since
the beginning of the troubles.
Advices from Bucharest, Roumania,
say the people of Moscow and Niko-
laieff are suffering from lack of wa
ter, bread, light and meat. Almost all
the factories and Jewish homes in
Rostoff have been destroyed. In a re-
cent encounter at Odessa between stu
dents and troops. many students were
killed. Funeral services for the stu
dents were held at the university
building.
The latest arrivals at Jassey, Mol
'davia, declare that killings and plum

Therefore the duty intended by the use
Of the phrase. Ordinary care" is al
ways referable to the circumstances
and conditions, under which the act or
omission to act is required to be per-

scope Of the situation within which the
performance Of the same act may be
called reasonable or unreasonable.
The same rule is now generally held to
apply to employment in the most peri

cies. A person may be engaged upon
a most treacherous machine, yet the
employer is held only to the exercise
of reasonable care in explaining the

and the operation of it. One may en-
piOy the use of dynamite or any other
powerful explosive and yet he is re-
