Spokane, Wash, Dec. 1.-Declaring

community demand that no human
compact be upheld that has for it's
world of helpless, plague cursed inno-

Washington, in an opinion written by
Judge Root and concurred in by the
entire bench, decides that an engage

to the contract and no damages for
breach of promise will lie against
ment for such reason.
The decision was in the suit of
Rosena E. Grover against James E.
Zook, formerly mayor of Ballard,
Wash, west of Spokane. Miss Grover
was awarded $4,000 by jury in the
lower court, but the trial judge re-
Quired the woman to reduce the

Zook appealed.
The sole question at issue was
whether Zook had right to break the
engagement because Miss Grover suf-

knew Of the malady when he made the
contract, or at least that he ratified
the contract after he learned that she
had tuberculosis and was therefore
bound in law to carry it out. The
court held otherwise, declaring that

Albert Young, former president Of
the Transfers, union; William Kelly,
business agent of the Coal Transfers
union, and William Murphy, said to
have been member Of the "wrecking
crew" during the strike, withdrew
their pleas of not guilty and entered
pleas of guilty. All of the men de-
clared their intention of turning states
evidence.
The incident caused intense excite
ment in the courtroom and took the
other defendants completely by sur
prise. Shea and Young had for years
been close friends and had worked

side. Since the last convention of the
Transfers union, however, they have
been opposed to each other and have
led factions which have fought each
other bitterly both in the meetings Of
the unions and In the city streets.
