HUSBAND ALSO GETS DAMAGES
Jury at Iowa City Awarded Verdict ir
Case Against Municipality.

Iowa City, May PA husband who
has been deprived of the services of
his wife because Of injuries sustained
by falling on a defective sidewalk can
recover from the city for such loss
after the wife has also recovered for
injuries sustained.
Such was the principal sustained by
Johnson county grand jury in the
suit of Larkin Evans vs. Iowa City,
which was concluded in the lower
court Tuesday. Mrs. Evans was injured
by fall on defective sidewalk sew
eral months ago and brought suit
against the city for damages, which
the jury awarded. The case was con-
sidered settled, when Mr. Evans
brought suit against the city for the
loss of the services of his wife and the
extra expense imposed Upon him by
her injury. The case has attracted
considerable attention here, as the
point involved was a novel one, but
throughout the trial it has been popu-
larry believed that Mr.. Evans would
be unable to recover. The award of
the jury of $500 therefore comes as a
surprise. The city will file motion
for a new trial and if overruled, will
probably carry the case to the supreme
court

ing place off the Japanese Island of
Oki.
The Island Of Ok is 200 miles north
of the Tsushima Islands, where Satur-
days battle took place.
Naval officers here believe that the
second battle Is the result of an at
tempt by few of Rojestvensky's dam
aged ships to escape after the battle
in Tsushima Straits.
Ships Try to Escape.
1t is believed here that after Ro-
jestvensky met his severe defeat Sat
urday afternoon and night a few of his
ships that had escaped from Togo's re.
lentless guns, managed to steam away
from the scene of battle to the north
ward.
Togo, it is believed, had provided
for just such contingency and had
stationed Kamamura with the second
division of the Japanese fleet at Oki
Island to lie in wait for the fleeing
ships or to intercept the cruisers from
Vladivostok which were known to
have left that port for the purpose of
joining Rojestvensky.
With Kamimura in waiting with
liOou SHIPS, uuluJuI0u. duQ crews eager
for battle, the result of the combat
with the damaged battle shaken Rus
sian vessels is not doubted II is be-
lieved that few if any of Rojestven-
sky's heavy fighting ships will reach
Vladivostok.
Fails to Deceive Japan.
The Toxic correspondent of the
Telegraph says it has been discovered
that the Baltic fleet coaled off the
coast of Luzon May %. They cruised
about to the north of Luzon on May %
and transferred large quantities of
bunker coal from the golfers. Then
Admiral Rojestvensky, in the hope of
deceiving the Japanese, decided to d.
vide his fleet into several parts. He
passed through the Bashee straits and
steamed northeast. On May 25 the
Russians were southwest of the Loo
choo islands. The main squadron then
went to Tsushima straits.
A telegram from Shanghai received
at Toxic states that the Japanese war
ships arrived in the offing of Woosung
at 9 o'clock Saturday and attacked
detached squadron The result is not
stated.

The La Jara chronicle. (La Jara, Conejos County, Colo.) 1896-19??, 1905-04-21
Millions Living in Poverty

were recipients Of private or public
charity: that in 1903 almost 20 per-
cent of the people in Boston were in
distress; that Il per cent of the fam
HES of Manhattan were evicted, and
that every year about 10 per cent of
those who die in Manhattan have pau
pers' burials.
He adds: "The most conservative
estimate that can fairly be made of
the distress existing in the industrial
states is IA per cent of the total popu-
lation. while in all probability no less
than 20 per cent of the people in these
states. in ordinarily prosperous years,
are in poverty. This brings us to the
conclusion that one-fifth, or 100000,
persons in the states of New York.
Massachusetts. Connecticut. New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois. Indi-
ana and Michigan are in poverty. TAX
ing half of this percentage and apply
ing it to other states, many of which
have important industrial communi-
ties. as. for Instance, Wisconsin, Colo
RADIO. California. Rhode Island, etc.
the conclusion is that rot less than
100000 900 persons in the United
states are in poyerty."
