Berlin, Feb. 21.--The decision Of the
French government to discontinue pri-

indication that the last phase of the

CITY LOSES CASE
Supreme Court Affirms Verdict in
The Pyke Damage Suit. Heavy
Loss to City EntaiIed.

CICy AGCOrQey hDeelanQ mas DeeD
notified that the supreme court has
decided the case of Ellen Pyke VS. City
of Jamestown and afflrms the judy
ment of the district court. This final
ly disposes Of the litigation that has
occupied almost year, the case bav-
ing been tried in the district court Of
this county in January Of 1905, Judge
Burke presiding and a verdict return
ed by the jury in favor Of the plain
tiff, for $1,000. Mayor Severn and the
city council decided to appeal from
the judgmentsof the district court and
authorized City Attorney Kneeland
to proceed with an appeal at the Sep
tember term of the supreme court
Ex-Judge S.sL. Glaspell was retained
as special assistant counsel and ap-
peared upon the trial both in the dis
trict and supreme courts. About
three weeks ago counsel for the city
discovered that the abstract prepared
by them upon the appeal was defective
in certain particulars which they fear
ed would prevent the appeal from De-
ing heard upon its IL erits. A special
proceeding was therefore instituted
for the purpose Of amending this lle-
fectivci record. After hearing on
the matter the supreme court decided
to treat the record as though it had
been amended and to determine the
appeal upon it's merits.
The result of this motion was her
aided by the official paper of this city
as a victory forIthe city which many
supposed was equivalent to a decision
of the case in the city's favor. To
those who have been thus misled, the
present announcement will prove
greatlsurprise and aprointment.
The actionlof the supreme court in
affirming this judgment will now sub-
ject the city to payment not only Of
the judgment Of $1,000 itself, in full
amount, but also the costs Of the suit
and the expenses uf the appeal to the
supreme COURT which will amount to
several hundred dollars. In addition
to this the cost of employing special
counsel to assist the city attorney
will no doubt amoune to'a~la7ge sf'tr
and it is questionable whether $500
will cover the entire amount of the
case.
1t is well known that a short time
previous to the trial IN the district
court the case might have been set
tied for $1,000. The Alert is not
informed as to where the responsibility
lies for the rejection Of this SETTLE
ment but it is obvious that there has
somewhere been a serious error in
judgment.
The large expenses Of this suit Cum
ing as it does in addition to the heavy
appropriation and expenditures of
last year is body blow to the tax
payers OF the city. The whole trans
action pointedly illustrates the old
adage that IAN ounce Of prevention is
worth pound Of cure'' and the .ques-
tion naturally suggests itself as to the
amount Of good sidewalk that might
have been built or other public i'm
provements secured by means OF the
expenditure of $500.
It will now:be necessary for the city
to levy a special tax for the payment
of this.i Judgment which will very
materially add to the already heavy
burdens of the coming year.

New York Tracks to Charge an Adj
mission Fee Of IS.
An admission fee of SIS viii be
charged to the New York race tracks
next season. The fee is now IS. The
Jockey club stewards raised the fee
two years ago in the expectation that
1t would have a tendency to keep many
people away from the tracks who
cannot afford to lose money gambling
on horse races. The increased tax
caused much grumbling among the
New York regulars, but 1t failed to re-
-duce the attendance any.
Over in Europe it costs about sic in
American money to visit the big race
tracks. Around London the price of
admission Is SIS, but by the time one
pays his railroad fare and other extras
the total tax to see horse race will
aggregate about $40 in our money.
Continuous racing is undoubtedly
serious drain on any community and
the opposition to the sport made itself
felt in New York last winter, when
Governor Higgins, the Republican
chief executive, came near wiping out
the metropolitan tracks Higgins Is
still a big boss in the New York Re
publican camp. He could have had
the nomination for governor this fall
but declined to make the race, and
is credited with having nominated

ing over 81 per cent of the stock of
the Chicago National League Baseball
club, President Charles w. Murphy
has put an end to the schemes of sew
eral of the biggest baseball magnates
cles with the sensation Of the year.
It was made known yesterday for
the first time that had not Mr.. Muir
ply extracted from Charles p. Taft a

chasing the local club, the Chicago
situation might have been plunged
into a condition of bitter rivalry, with
no less a distinguished American
league leader than Ban Johnson as
the head of the National league club
or the west side
According to the story told by a
man close to Charles a. Comiskey,
president of the local American league
club, a group of men who are among
the opponents of the Comiskey regime
actually offered to buy the Chicago
National league club and put Johnson.

They figured with much glee that
this move would bring the fight on
Comiskey to a finish stage. make Chi

considered in the conference of mag
mates who wished to back johnson, -
said the baseball man. THE only way
Johnson could take the presidency of
