San ders vs. the Phoenix Railway Co. was completed yesterday afternoon and giv. en to the jury, which, after less than thirty minutes of dclibcration, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff awarding damages to the amount of t5,O00, which is the limit of recovery allowed in eases of death under the ter ritorial statutes.
 Sanders, on March %, 1909, was rid ing on the front lateral seat of one of the defendant companys street cars in Phoenix. According to the evidence, while the motorman, who is also the ex'oilicio conductor, was stepping down looking for nickel he had dropped the ear struck saarp curse, while running some ten miles an hour, and Sanders and companion were hurled from the ear into the street. Sanders alighting on the ground under his companion and sustained injuries from which the plaintiff alleged, hc died in February, 1904.
 Suit was first filed by Sanders for damages for personal injuries, and af ter his demise the suit just decided was brought, but through technicalities and other delays. the ease did not come to trial until last Saturday, wnen it began in the district court, being brought here on change of venue from Mari. copa county.

Health Officer of the District Of Co.
lumbia Delivers an Address.
Exchange of Views.

A feature of the session last evening OF
the eleventh annual conference Of the
Eastern Public Education Association was
the address of Health Commissioner
Thomas Darlington of New York city.
who declared that more than 40 per cent
of all the children examined in New York
city schools show evidence of physical
abnormality. the defects being mostly
remedied when placed under proper
treatment. DIR. Darlington suggested
that 1t is of prime Importance to the
state that its citizens should not be weak
lings or degenerates. and that future
generations should not be born OF parents
who bequeath them a legacy Of physical
weakness.
DR.. Darlington said that during 1907
4.62o children We're excluded from school
attendance for varying periods Of time
1or contagious diseases, and out of 141 ,9OS
children examined 16 per cent were found
% be suffering from non-contagious
physical defects. He said he did not be-
lieve in taking the power from the par
ents to take care OF and furnish medical
treatment to a child against parental
wishes. He declared that, as a general
rule. alert mentality does not co-exist
with physical weakness or abnormality,
and that in New York city alone he be-
lieved that most of the 5000 900 spent
toI oiic year EDUCATION OF cDllQren, who
fail to profit by 1t could have been saved
by the investment of one-twentieth of
that sum In proper and systematic ply

mo service which a municipality can
offer can be of a higher type than this
which assures to its children normal
bodies and physical equalities." the
speaker declared.
Address by DR.. Woodward.
DR.. w. C. Woodward. health officer of
the District Of Columbia, spoke OF the
necessity for nourishment in order to
bring out the best mental powers Of
school children. He said he believed in a
thorough examination of the schools and
children by officials of the health office,
but such inspection should be carried on
IN close touch with the school authorities
themselves. Too much attention Is paid
| TO collecting data without digesting 1t and
putting facts to use, he remarked. He
added that the force of health Office in
spectors should be good men of liberal
education and able to apply facts to con-
ditions as they find them. The speaker,
SO he said. does not believe in too pa
ternal action by the government in feed
Ing school children. as such should be
left to the parents where possible, but
| that the authorities should see that the
| cording to the speaker. much better and
more effective generation of citizens
would be raised.
