POPE Plus ASKED
TO BE PRESENT
Pressure Brought Upon His
Holiness by Strong Party
in Vatican

ROME, Oct. 16-Great pressure is be-
ing brought to bear upon Pope Plus X
by a strong party in the vatican to in
duce him 20 preside at the ceremony
to be held in December in connection
with the removal Of the remains of the
late Pope Leo XIII from st. Peters
Church to the sangievanni Lateran
Church and to appear publicly in the
streets Of rome on this occasion.
Aside from the violation Of all pre-
cedent in leaving the Vatican. such ac-
ton on the part Of the Pontiff. If he
consents to participate in this cere-
mony. will be OF far reaching political
significance. 1t will be interpreted as
an act Of Cancellation. toward the Ital-
ian government with which the Vatican
has no relations. Eventually this might
lead TO an adjustment Of the differences
between the Vatican and the Quirinal.

INTERESTING CASE
In SUPERIOR COURT
Important Point in Law
Raised in Case of Suit
For DamageTs

An interesting point IN law was ar
gued in the Superior Court to-day the
question at issue rising from the case
of Francis ]. Boyring VS.. the Will
mington Malleable Iron Company.
Some time ago suit was brought by
Bowring for a minor sum for injuries
received by the latter at the Malleable
plant, and the jury brought verdict
for the defendant company. L. Irving
Handy represented the plaintiff. and
Thomas F. aByard appeared for the de-
fendant. Some time later Mr.. Handy
representing Bowring, again brought
suit against the iron company for. dam
ages. this time for the lost services of
his son while the latter was incapaci-
tated by reason Of the injuries he re-
ceived.
The defendant demurred. claiming
that the original action, in which the
complainant lost. and the second ac-
ton. were one and the same thing. and
that after the case was once settled it
could not be retired.
Mr.. Bayard, in this section action. is
assisted in the case by ]. Harvey
iWhiteman.
Mr.. Handy admitted that both cases
arose from the same action, but con-
tended that both plaintiffs would also
have to be the same in order to exclude
I the right of the second trial. Every
man. he said, is entitled to his day in
court and he claimed that the father
lin bringing suit for his minor son and
in bringing suit for himself for the loss
of the boys services while the latter
was incapacitated by reason of his in
ijuries, were entirely two different cases
The court reserved its decision.
