that it was almost impossible for the

SENT UP FOR CONSIDERATION.
Palladium Bureau,

The introduction of bills was the
only business in senate today. Among
the important bills was one from
CRUDE of Kosciusko county to create
banking board and take all bank
examinations out of the hands of state
auditors. Senator Mattingly introduc-
ed one to abolish the office of city

Executrix of Schneider Estate
Will Receive Starr Com
pany's Share of South First
Street Assessment.
REFUSES PAY ITS SHARE
OF STORM SEWER COST
Concern Has Asked Court for
Reassessment of the Street
Improvement by Board of
FreehoIderS,

An amicable agreement has been
made in the celebrated suit of the
Starr Plano Company VS.. the City of
Richmond and George Schneider, as
executrix of the will of John Schneid-
er, whereby Schneider will receive the
company's share of the cost of the
improvement of South First street.
The company does not wish to incon-
venience Schneider in the affair and
has voluntarily made its settlement.
1t refuses to make payment OF the
assessment for the construction of the
sewer, however, and this point is in
volved in the two cases, which are ap-
pealed to the higher court.
Kick on Sewer Assessment.
Counsel for the company claims no
attempt has been made to avoid pay
ing the assessment for the street i'm
provement. Objection is made to the
sewer assessment, however, on the
ground that storm sewer was con-
structed which provides for all the
legged it has been the custom of the
city to build the storm sewer hereto
fore at its own expense. The COM
pany points to the records on this
point. The assessment for the sewer
improvement amounts to $1,000. All
the assessment for the street improve
ment was paid before any demur was
presented or any decision rendered in
the case now in litigation
Reassessment 10 Asked.
The company has asked for a re-
assessment by a board of freeholders.
Judge Fox has held in the circuit
court the portion of the statute con-
tanning this clause is Unconstitutional.
The company appeals SO as to have
the matter settled by the board of
freeholders, If the law be held uncon-
stitutional and its counsel will argue
that if this part OF the law is uncon-
stitutional, the whole statute must be-
Judge Fox holds the entire law is not
invalidated merely because of the
clause in controversy.

President -eIect Taft States
There Will Be No lmpa-
tience at Its Restrictions
During His Administration.
TOUR OF TALKING WAS
BEGUN BY HIM TODAY
Rumor Is Now Out That Judge
Dayton of West Virginia
Will Be Offered the Secre-
taryship of Navy.

Augusta, Ga, Jan. 15.-The consti-
tuition of the United States is good
enough for President-elect Taft. He
said SO, and inferentially at least de-
at its restrictions manifested during
his administration. He was talking to
a delegation from Anderson, S. c., by
whom he had been invited to visit that
city.
Asserting his position regarding the
effectiveness of the constitution to
meet the needs Of developing civiliza-
ton, he said:
Il know that sometimes the consti-
tuition seems to be in the way of di-
rect effectiveness. The division un-
der systems by which the central gov
ernment is limited to certain things
and the state governments carry on
other things, sometimes seems to work
against the rapid carrying out of some
of the reforms, as, for instance, the
conserving of our natural resources
and perhaps the regulation of rail-
roads and the suppression of those
abuses which have crept in with our
marvellous progress. in the combina-
tion of capital.
Will Meet Future Emergencies.
'And yet, gentlemen, that constitu-
ton, simple, clear and comprehensive.
has in the past been capable OF SO
fair CONSTRUCTION as to meet In a mar
velous way the developments and
emergencies of our country which
could not have been anticipated by
those who framed it, in any detail at
all, and I am certain the same con.
stitution will meet the emergencies
that may come in the future.
Taft speeches will be distributed free
ly between here and Atlanta today
when the president-elect goes there by
special train and under escort of an
enthusiastic committee. He has con-
sented to do rear platform" work
wherever the committee may care to
stop the train, and number of stops
will be made, including Thompson,
Charlottesville. Greensboro, Madison.
Social Circle, Covington and Decatur.
Mrs. Taft left here for New Haven,
Conn, yesterday. She will join Mr..
Taft either here on the 22d. or at
Charleston, S. c.. when he goes to
that city to embark for Panama.

Mrs. Reba Beverly of Win
chester, by Supreme Court
Decision Receives Damages
To the Amount of $4,000.
WAYNE CIRCUIT COURT
RULING is SUSTAINED
Case Was Ruled on FavorabIy
To Plaintiff by Appellate
Court, Then Was Carried to
Higher Court. : ~ =. y

BY the refusal of the supreme court
to accept a transfer of the case OF the
Richmond Street s. Interurban rail-
way VS.. Reba Beverly to It's jurisdic-
tion from he appellate court, the de-
cision of the lower court is sustained
and 1t is up to the company to pay the
damages awarded. Mrs. Beverly is a
resident of Winchester. She was rep
resented throughout the proceedings
by T. ]. Study Of this city as counsel.
In the circuit court Mrs. Beverly was
given a verdict of 5000 damages
against the street car company for
injuries received in this city. The
company appealed and was defeated in
the appellate court. An attempt then
was made to transfer the case to the
supreme court, but the latter body re-
fused to consider the matter declaring
it rested with the lower court
Hip Bone Was Crushed.
Mrs. Beverly suffered the crushing
of the bone in her left hip by being
thrown from a car of the company In
front of the Panhandle station more
than four years ago. According to
the evidence in the case she was a pas
senger on a North Eighth street car,
bound for the depot. Park Page was
the motorman and Fred Lamar, con-
ductor. Mrs. Beverly told the conduc-
tor she wished to leave the car at the
station. When the car reached that
point it was moving rapidly and evil
IDENTIFY the conductor had forgotten
to give the signal to stop. Mrs. Bever-
ly arose from her seat and nodded her
head to Lamar, who rang the emer-
gency signal. It was a summer car
and Page brought 1t to such a sudden
stop by applying the brakes and re-
versing the power that Mr.. Beverly,
who had arisen, was thrown from the
car the brick pavement. She spent
several weeks in the hospital and since
has been a cripple, not being able to
walk step.
The interest on the original amount
of damages will make the total sum
to be paid Mrs. Beverly about $1,000.
