NO EVIDENCE
Of NEGLIGENCE;
ASKS NEW TRIAL

An interesting question Is involved In
the case OF William II. S. Jennison. ad-
sninistrator OF the estate OF Charles A.
B> Jennison. late OF Warwick against

pany, submitted TO the supreme court to-
day on defendants petition for a new

Jured that he could not walk. Later spine
and bladder troubles developed and he,
after many intervals OF severe pain. died

A Jury in Kent county found tho defend
ant corporation guilty OF negligence and
awarded the administrator verdict for

Defendant says there was no evidence
OF negligence produced before the jury
unless the running OF the car at the rate
OF 80 miles an hour ON long stretch OF
country road whero there is neither
statute nor ordinance prohibiting II be
declared sufficient. Plaintiff claims that
the case comes within that OF Dyer VS..
Union Railroad company, 25 r. l.. 221,
where the court held the negligence CT the
defendant to be clearly established and
q new trial OF no avail, "since It clearly
appears that the plaintiff was ovortaken
from the rear by the car OF the defendant
company, which was then running at
high and excessive rate of speed"
The defendant does not admit that the
car was going at an excessive rate Of
speed. but plaintiff introduced WITNESSES
who swore they noticed the high rate OF
speed at which the car was going and
discussed the danger 10 any one tnat
might be using the track.
Defendant also claims the damages are
excessive. Albert A. Baker was attorney
for the plaintiff and Samuel w. X. Allen

TIDE LOWEST IN MONTHS,
BOTTOM OF RIVER SHOWING

Today at o'clock the tide in the har-
Dor was the lowest that IL has been In
a number OF months, and those along the
waterfront say that IL is the lowest seen
in a number Of years. 1t is so low that
many Of the vessel along the water front
are resting on the rocks and listed with
their bottoms nearly all exposed.
The employees OF the contractors build
ing the bridge were able 20 work on solid
ground for the most OF the day in the
Golfer dams. all the water having gone
out and left the land exposed. The barge
Carrie. lying at her wharf. lies exposed
and almost entirely out OF the water.
The low tide is due 20 the northerly
wind and the shift OF the moon. 1t being
lust after fullness has been reached. This
has been the condition for number OF
times before. but rarely is the tide found
to be so low that all the spilings that are
entirely submerged stand out to view.

ROBSON FEARS LAPS
THINKS THEY cOULD TAKE THE
 PHILIPPINES.
Umated States, He Says. Has Done Nothing to Protect the Islands and Would Re Handicap
 ped in War.

Washington, Aug. s.-(speciaI.l--- Tt would not De fair to. say that the unfortunate incident in the Pribilof Island would be utilized by Japan to seek quarrel with the United States said Captain Richmond Pearson Hob son of Alabama tonight. 'Investiga- ton will probably show that it was the act of fishermen seeking seals in defiance of law and that no ulterior purpose was behind It.
 If, however, the Japanese govern ment decided to take 1t up and make It the pretext of q quarrel with us and the affair reached a critical stage, Japan would have the advantage in every way. What I mean is. that If Japan wants a row with this country now is the time for her to have it out, and If we got into a fight with her she could easily take the Philippines.
 We have neglected our opportuni- ties in these islands. Eight years have passed and we have done nothing look ing to their defense. Without prop, CT naval base there we cannot main tain our prestige in the Orient if any one seeks to contest it with us and if we cannot maintain our military pres tige we will lose our commercial pres- tige as well.
 You can depend upon it. if Japan were to take the Philippines Islands she would not lose a single hour mak- ing their defense so strong that we nor any other nation could retaka them. We can do nothing in the Orient with the navy working from our Pacific coast.
 Hawaii affords us little if any ad- vantage. We have erected a few for affections there but nothing like a naval base, and if the day comes that we lose the Philippines through our failure to take the proper precautions. we might as well give up all hopes of developing our trade with China and the Orient.
 This incident may or it may not become a matter of diplomacy Be that as 1t may. it emphasizes the fact that if the United States intends to maintain the position of world pow er upon which policy it seems to have entered, we cannot do it unless we put ourselves in position to enforce the wishes and command the respect that comes to those who are strong enough to compel it.
 q do not mean that the American navy would not give good account of itself in a fight with Japan. but we would not be able to spare enough oi | our navy from the Atlantic to over. | come the navy of Japan so close to it's home waters. It would be impracti- 1 cable to take all our ships from the Atlantic and without a navy base near | Manila, we would be vitally handicap ped"

 The victory won by Shea in the con- vention Is marred only by the dissen sion which led to the withdrawal yes terday of nearly fifty delegates and the launching of a movement to organize a rival international union.

 Confronted by the certainty that the Internationai Brotherhood of Teamsters would re-elect Shea and his chosen ticket. the insurgents who bolted the regular convention of the International Bortherhod of Teamsters. yesterday and started a rival meeting, kept up their "strike" today against the Shea con t.nRent. Overtures were ignored by the bolters who proceeded to organ ize a convention of their own and planned to adopt bylaws and a consti- tuition They insisted that they would never be reconciled to the rule of Pres ident Shea.
