She was picked up and taken t"

lost 81 pounds in weight after the acct

had. however. Il round trip ticket To Bal

The defense raised several points in
prayers for the withdrawal of the ease
from the jury. first THAT Mrs. Smith as
Il married woman could not sustain the
suit which should have been brought by
her husband: second that not having II
ticket she was not Il passenger, though
she may have been an intending one;
third that she came to the station long
before train time and finally that the
proof showed that she had brought
about the accident by her own negli-
gence in backing into the cellar way.
The fact that the company carried pas
sengcrS free between Havrc de Grace
and Perryville was urged to settle the
ticket objection. Court reserved its de
ciSion on the points raised until Friday.

Among the reasons why the nine OF
diamonds hns been called the curse OF
Scotland are the following:
Diamonds, nine of, called the curse
OF Scotland, from a Scotch member OF
parliament, part of Whose family arms

introduction of the malt tax into Scot
faud. - Chronology; or, The Histo-
rian's Companian," Fourth Edition, by
Thomas Tegg, London, 1926.
There is a George Campbell mem
toned in Burton's "History of Scot
Iand' as having caused the nine Of
diamonds to be called the curse Of
Scotland because he stole nine dla-
nonds out OF the royal crown in the
reign of Mary Stuart, in consequence
of which all Scotland was taxed.

HAS FAITH IN CHICAGO
Also in Municipal 0wnership-The
Speech of Mayor Edward F. Dunno
at West Roxbury,

Boston, July 29.-Several thousand per
sons this afternoon heard Mayor Edward
F. Dunno Of Chicago deliver an address
on Municipal Ownership at the annual
outing of the Tammany club. a Demo-
cratic organization, in West Roxbury.
In his speech Mayor Dunno reviewed
the municipal ownership movement. cit
ing statistics to support his statements.
7 can confidently assert" he said,
that IT is almost invariably the rule that
where utilities are furnished by private
companies they cost from so to 100 per
cent more than where the same utilities
are furnished by the public companies
The speaker vigorously defended him
self against statements which had been
published that he had recanted his faith
In municipal ownership, saying:
81 am glad TO state TO you that the
cause of municipal ownership is as ar
IDENTIFY espoused by me today il has
been for several years. past, and that 1
am as confident of its ultimate conSum-
nation as L have ever been at any time
in my life.
Il confidently predict, from what
know of the peoplepof Chicago, that with
in a very short time il will have the proud
distinction of being the first city in the
United States to be in actual ownership
of its own municipal street car system,
and when once that great city has proved
that municipalization OF street car plants
is an assured success il will mean that
hundreds of other American cities will
follow in her wake and accomplish an
economic revolution, to the great adj
vantage of the citizens Of this country. p"

tion of $4,000 made to the sum voted
BY the taxpayers for the construction
OF the main sewer through the south
ern and western parts of the city. The
amount voted for this work was $780,
DOC. This was increased by the city
council to $1S5. 900. It has been found
also that the fiat rate fixed some years
ago for the laying of sewer laterals is
about z IL per cent too low. aud this
leaves an amount to be paid by the city
on every lateral put in. with the pres
eDt activity in this field this amounts
to a considerable sum in the course of
a year.
The increase in the tax levy is found
TO be necessary In the tax for street
improvement purposes, and the reasons
Tor this increase are set forth above.
The whole matter resolves itself into
this If the property owners desire
permanent improvements in the streets
OF the city they must make up their

AS TO THE GERMAN kAISER'S MOTIVE

London, July 29.-The British gov

be directed toward a readjustment OF
the equilibrium of Europe which was
disturbed by the removal of Russia
from the scale as a sea power. A high
official said to the Associated Press to-
day;
The alarm created by the press OF
Europe during the past week was I'M
due. The situation is not warlike,
though Il naturally requires that Great
Britain shall make move to prevent
It's becoming dangerous. The British
government is convinced that any
agreement of the powers arranged by
Emperor William would be on the
opposite side of the scale from Great
Britain and makes no secret OF her
desires to effect an agreement with
France, considering that such an agree
ment would preclude the menace of any
alliance Emperor William could then
bring about
