challenged by Judge Advocate Mark
after the whole testimony for the pros

ing which the Judge advocate and had
never been taken by him in all his
years Of experience and of which he
had never heard.
The grounds for the challenge ap-
peared after the beginning Of the trial
and were first, that Admiral McCor-
mick had consulted with high medi-
cal authority (Medical Director
Thomas C. Walton, u. S. N, retired),
in relation to the case; second, that he

AUTO DRIVERS MUST STOP.
Judge Clements Of Montezuma Places
New Interpretation on Iowa Law.

JUDGE Clements Of Montezuna Places
New Interpretation on Iowa Law.
Montezuma, Nov. 25.-An interest
ing Interpretation has been given the
law relating to the operation of motor
vehicles, as found in section g. chap
ter So of the laws Of the last genefyal
assembly of Iowa. With regard to
caution and signals Judge Clements
ruled that where the said statute pro-
vides that any motorman upon signal
from the driver Of horse shall bring
his machine Immediately to a stop, 1t
means that this shall be done whether
the animal is restive or not. or whether
the motorman may apprehend any
danger or not.
In the famous automobile case now
on tr'nl here, the plaintiffs allege that
the motorn1an knew and saw the dam
ger and was duty bound to stop altho
the. plaintiff did not raise his hand.
The large sum Of $4,000 is asked for
actual damages sustained from injur-
les.

theory in the case which was so
rooted that it would be impossible to
move 1t by the evidence.
After Judge Advocate Mark had
stated these grounds, Lieutenant Com
mander Robinson jumped to his fest
and addressed the judge advocate In
spirited tongue.
Captain Mark he said, IT am a
very young man. You wear moe
stripes on your arms than / can hope
to do for many years. But
At this point Captain Wainwright
suggested that counsel address the
court and the exciting personal collo-
guy was averted. Lieutenant Com
mander Robinson, thru Admiral Nc
Cormick, suggested that the question
was one for the immediate consider
alton of the court, continued an argu-
ment to show that 1t was proper for a
member of the court to ask such ques-
tions as he wished TO elicit the facts
in the case. and that to fall to ask
questions along lines touching which
they We're doubtful would be wrong. IL
the members of the court had asked
any improper questions. the judge ad-
vocate should have objected to them
at the time, he said.
Admiral Mccormick said:
'I should be deeply mortified II !
thought / had done anything contrary
to the oath took when I became a
member OF this court, but of course II
/ am relieved of further duty ! shall
simply feel that weight has been
removed from my shoulders. I have
had a conversation with Medical In
spector Thomas C.. Walton and asked
him what other cause might have
brought about persons death had
practically the same symptoms been
exhibited as those due to external
blows. 1 did this in order that l
might ask such questions Of the wit
nesses brought before the court as
would affirm or negative the possi-
bility of Branchs death having oc-
Cured In the manner charged am
fully aware that in the end must
reach my conclusions upon the tesfi-
mony Of the witnesses before this
court and In that manner only"
The court was then cleared and up
on it's being reopened Admiral Ram
saw announced that the challenge
against Admiral Mccormick had not
been sustained.
