DEMURRERS Of
THE GAS COMPANY
ARE SUSTAINED

Two OF the defendants demurrers in the
case OF Frank p. Davis VS.. Providence
Gas company were sustained by Judge
Tanner In the superior court today. To
the first two counts OF the plaintiff' 5
declaration plaintiff demurred on the
grounds that the duty and breach OF duty
are stated 10 be the breach OF an abso-
lutte duty not to allow gas 10 escape from
the company's pipes whereas the extent
OF tho duty Of the company is TO use rea-
sonable care considering the dangerous
character OF the agency TO preven. gas
from escaping.
In the rescript handed down by Judge
Tanner he says, 1T Is true that the
plaintiff Is only bound 10 prove the escape
of gas TO throw the burden of proof on
the defendant. but this does not dispense
with the proper allegation OF neglect on
the port of defendant The law draws
from the happening OF the accident the
prima facie inference only OF lack Of rea-
sonabel care so II the company succeed

cape liability"

G. M. HORD ARRESTED.
Aged Man Confesses to Horrible Crime
Evidently Insane.

A state warrant has been issued for
G.. M. Hord, 7S years old, on charge
of statutory assault. This old man,
who has hitherto born a good reputa-
ton, has confessed to the police that
he assaulted Jessie Rice, an eleven
year-old girl. in his carpenter shop at
322 Clay street. The child is of
poor family, and is small for her age.
The crime, according to the story
told by the little girl and the confess
sion of the old man, was committed
last Friday afternoon. after the girl
had been enticed to the carpenter
shop with a promise of candy. The
girl lives with her mother at 614 Lime
street, and was on the street selling
flavoring extracts when she met Hord.
Saturday afternoon the girl told her
story to Mrs. McClusky, who lives
next door to Hord. Mrs. McClusky
took the child in her buggy and drove
her to the police station, where the re-
voting story was repeated. Detective
Judkins arrested Hord at his home at
8 O'Clock Saturday night, and at the
police station he confessed. His man.
ner while telling the story indicates
that he is mentally deranged. He
laughed while telling the details of his
crime, and did not seem to be worried
over results. The Hord family believe
that the old man is insane, and cite
instances of insanity symptoms which
he showed a year ago.

While Mrs. Ayers refused to explain

that Secretary Taft approved the

plant against Mrs. Ayers, which is the
basis of her suit.
The secretary instead of ordering
Colonel Ayers to remove his wife from
near the post. Instructed him to pre-
vent her from "trespassing'' upon the
West Point reservation, so long as
their son shall be in the academy. If
young Ayers should ever be severely
i'll, the secretary adds, she will be
notified and a permit for her to see
him will be issued either by the sec
retary or by the adjutant general

Council of the Progressive
Party in Japan
Passes Resolutions on the San
Francisco Affair.
SATISFACTORY.
Washington Is Held RESPONSE
BILE for Recent Assaults.
Home Government Is Urged to
Demand ReparatiOn.

Toxic, June 10.-The council of the
progressives at a meeting today adopt
ed resolution. the substance of which
was as follows:
The anti-Japanese feeling upon the
Pacific coast of the United States,
especially in San Francisco, eliminated
in an assault upon Japanese trading
places last month. constituting q most
hagrant violation of the rights guar
anteed by the treaty concluded upon
an equal footing between the two ma
tions.
These anti-Japanese acts are not of
a temporary nature and the federal
government at Washington must be
held responsible for its failure to pre-
vent such outrages.
The attitude of our government to-
ward that in Washington has so far
been unsatisfactory to the nation and
1t is necessary that proper steps should
be taken by our government in order
to maintain the national dignity and
permanently insure the safety of the
rights and property of our compa-
triOtS in America
