Suit by Man Who Was
ScaIded a Year Ago,

the plaintiff and assess his damages
at $500, less $910.10.
IN. KEMMERER, Foreman
The reading of the above verdict in
the district court yesterday morning
closed the trial of the sensational and
hard-fought suit by Joseph Schmitt
against the Southwestern Brewery and
Ice company for $25,500 damages. The
verdict came after nearly w weeks
had been spent in hearing evidence
and stubbornly contesting every tech
nical point throughout the trial.
Neill b. Field handled the case for
the plaintiff, w. b. Childers and o. n.
Marion appearing for the defense.
Immediately IN the reading Of the
verdict the defendant's attorneys gave
notice of a motion for a new trial. The
jury i'm the case vas out about seven
hours. returning after 4 o'clock Fri
day and handing i'm a sealed verdict at
II o5clock Friday night.
While the damages assessed are far
below the sum asked by the plaintiff,
the outcome of the case Is a signal
victory for Schmitt, II he was the
recipient of many fluctuations yester-
day. The amount deducted from the
total damages awarded Is the Mount
paid out by the company for Schmitt's
medical expenses and salary paid him
while he was off duty.
The public has grown familiar with
the details Of the case. About a year
ago, while working at the brewery, a
big mash vat burst and the not sub
stance splattered all owe Sehmitt. Sc
Verely scalding his head n hands.
II was alleged hat the vat was de-
fective and the company was aware
of the fact and that Schmitt worked
on the promise of the company to re-
pair 1t. The defense plead a release
from liability said to have been signed
by Schmitt while he was in the hos
pital. the plaintiff contending that the
paper had been signed while Schmitt
did not know what was going on.
The brewery company has announc-
ed its intention to fight the case stub
bornly to the last resorts

LITTLE ISLAND GOOD
As A GOLD MINE

SYDNEY. Australia, March 27.-
Out in the Pacific is an insignifi-
cant looking little speck of land
which has proved veritable gold
mine. 1t is Ocean or Paanopa
island, seized by Great Britain in
1900. 1t is a rather bare rock OF
about 10 square miles, west Of the
Gilbert archipelago, and a little
south of the equator, and was con-
sdered practically useless until
about a year ago. Now the former
ly deserted isle is the resort Of
scores of ships which carry away a
precious cargo.
The island abounds in peculiar
white rock which turns out to be
phosphate. Phosphate Is especially
rich In plant food. Fertilizer works
have been established and tons Of
the almost inexhaustible riches are
being sold in Japan, Australia, Bor-
neo and New Zealand.

turned to chambers. where the

as to the intentions Of the commits
sion and Jerome said he had no
idea what they would do. Counsel
for Thaw notified the court that
Hartridge would represent Thaw
before the commission.
The defendant was taken out
when the jury retired. His wife,
mother and sister remained in con-
ference with the attorneys. Evelyn
showed signs of much weeping.

ing further for the jury to do. If

proof of bride giving.
There is good reason for the be-
lief the list of indictments against

increased before the investigation

neys office is not dismayed by the
departure for the east of President

The evidence of Cowles, il he has
any to give, Is considered merely

Burns are drawing tighter each day
about bride givers. The grand jury
did not convene today until 2

to have completed evidence suf-
fcient to secure the returning of
indictments against another tele-
phone official and perhaps more in
dictments against Detweiler.

quest to order Biggs to permit any
one to see Ruef at any reasonable
hour. Heney declares the prosecu-

with the Moore forces and today
is seeking adherents to the cause
with more vigor than he has shown

was intimated that Lund was firt-

man of the Doust forces, but Cor

didn't hesitate about saying so. At

service. 33 cents per hour.
Negotiations between the car
mems union and Traction officials
were carried on quietly and har-
moniously and the fact that no trou-
BILE was likely to develop forced the
w. w. P. Co. to make good prob
ably before the company had any
intention Of so doing.
The Traction scale contains no
requirements that an employe re.
main a lifetime in order to receive
the benefit of advanced pay, the
company holding that three years
is sufficient to proves mans
worth. :
The claim that the w. w. P.
scale is higher than in any city
excepting Los Angeles is not true
as the new scale recently pub
lished by the Oakland lines pro-
vides for a fiat 30 cent scale. The
San Francisco scale is also higher,
as IS the Butte scale.

crease granted the w. w. p. Co.
