damages raises the important question OF
how closely can the prospective net in
come OF man be figured The defendant
corporation was held responsible for the
death OF plaintiffs husband. Nathaniel
Reynolds OF East Greenwich.
r. ID. Bassett, counsel for the corpora
ton that the supreme court refused to
find gultess OF negligence argued that
Mr. Reynolds was In the last years Of
his life going deeper and deeper into debt
and as the result OF a long analysis OF
the income OF the deceased he figured out
that Mr.. Reynolds life was worth less
than 500 year 10 his family.
AS Mr.. Reynolds was 81 when he was
killed his expectancy of life was % years
and Mr.. Bassett therefore figured his cor
poration owed Mr. Reynolds estate about
5000 While the jury at the previous trial
OF the case figured that the defendant
owed Mr.. Reynolds estate some $3.50
This verdict was set aside because the
jury figured Mr.. Reynolds gross income

K. Of c. MAY GIVE
ASSISTANCE To
THE PAUL|STS

New Haven. Conn. June THE
Knights of Columbus met early today for
an all-day session. when a great part Of
the unfinished business TO be transacted
by the national convention will be dis
posed Of
Several matters OF considerable import
ance 10 the order are on the program for
discussion. according TO good authority
the first Of which will be on the question
Of the knights of Columbus acting as
sponsor for the Paulists. an order OF
Catholic priests. whose headquarters are
in Washington
II is said that the Rev. Father Doyle
Of that city will appear before the ma
tiona body here today for the purpose
Of making an appeal 10 the knights OF
Columbus for their support. II is said
that the proposition will be heartily sup
ported by large number Of the southern
delegates and also State Deputy Leahy
OF ST. Louis
The arguments will be made. II Is
understood. that the Knights Of Columbus
will be able 10 assist the Paulsts ma
terially in propa eating the doctrines ad-
vocated by the latter thereby spreading
the influence of the Catholic religion in
the United States.
The Paulist Fathers united In an order
not many years ago for the avowed in
tention Of doing work along the lines OF
the Jesuit missionaries. Their work now
and for some time in the future will be
confined to the United States BY way
OF supporting the Paulists. II IL said that
the Knights Of Columbus have considered
the advisabilty OF raising the sum OF
$1,000 In assessments TO be levied on
the various councils up 10 the year 1908
When that sum is realized should the
proposition go through IL will be placed
in trust. the interest from which will be
given TO the Paulist Fathers for the
propa ga tion OF the Catholic religion
William b. Reilly of Washington Is
one Of the leaders OF the movement for
the establishment OF this big sum for the
Paulist Fathers
Another question which will be taken up
today is that OF raising a fund for the
San Francisco members OF the order. An
effort will be made to raise 800 900 by
assessments on the various councils
II is learned that one OF the more i'm
portant matters disposed Of at the meet
ing late yesterday was that OF raising
the minimum initiation from 81 TO $40.
This was done after a Lengthy discussion
This raise to $40 is only the first step II
