AGED MAN WINS HIS SUIT
AGAINST PUBLIC SERVICE.

Claiming that he had received such
serious injuries that he expended more
than $500 in medicine, Ernest Thrum, a
tailor, of 1871 South Seventeenth street,
appeared as plaintiff before Judge Heis-
ley and d jury in the Circuit Court to-
day against the Public Service Railway
Company, asking for $1,000 damages.
He was awarded $500.
Thrum, who is an elderly man, tried
to aIight from a car at South Orange
avenue and South Seventeenth street
September !, 800, when according to
mis- story, it gave a sudden jolt and he
was thrown so that he became badly
cut and bruised about the body.
On the part Of the defense 1t was tes-
titled by several witnesses that the
tailor jumped from the car, and Po-
liceman Samuel Pasco, of the Fourth
Precinct, swore that n of Thrum's
sons, who v4s with him at the time,
told him, the policeman, that his father,
who is about s. years old, was celebrat-
ing his birthday.

of the States whose boundaries are adj
jacent. Indeed, both the Guffey COM
pany and the water company claiming
under 1t, are put upon notice in re-
spect to this matter, and both are
bound by the restrictions of the grant
itself.
THE present and proposed use of the
by the water company is clearly for
purposes different from and inconsistent
with the erection of a pier or piers,
and such use, too. would clearly inter-
fere with the cultivation of oysters, "a
right which is reserved to the State by
proviso in the Guffey grant, and no
n can say how often or when repairs
to the pipes may be necessary, thereby
disturbing the rights of any grantee
OF the State to plant oysters.
In this connection particular atten-
ton is called to the fact that the in
formation is drawn with special regard
to the unlawful acts of the defendant in
respect to the lands lying between the
ines for solid filing and the exterior
line for piers. The restraining order
and the injunction sought, in part at
least, have special regard for this par
ticular strip. The injunction sought is
not against the Hudson company alone,
but against the Guffey as well, and the
relief is justified under the terms OF
the bill and by it's explicit prayer, upon
the theory that this proviso in respect
to use of the lands is being violated by
both companies. These circumstances, to
which the attention of the court is di-
rected, are not merely incidental to the
%recitations of the bill. they are sub
~stantial, and particular relief under the
terms of the bill is sought in respect tc
this particular strip.
in this posture of affairs, no matter
what view the court may take upon the
other branches of the case, it would seen
clear that the restraining order should
not be vacated in respect, at least, tc
so much of the land in question as lies
between the line for solid filing ano
the exterior line for piers. 1t will be
observed that in respect to that partic-
ular part of the controversy at least
the law is neither vague nor uncertain
A suit for damages does not reach the
evil, and an injunction to restrain the
unauthorized C is the only REMEDY.
I'm conclusion, it may be addfd thai
no reported case a been cited by tbs
defendants which has held that a pip
or conduit constructed by a private Ger
poration for the purpose of delivering
potable waters from one State to an
other, across d n~avigable stream, TO
the purpose of sale as merchandise ii
a particular community in anothe
State. under the term of a subsistins
contract, would come within the opera
ton of the clause of the Federal Con
stitution relied upon, at least wher
Congress has not itself acted. The per
mission of the Secretary of War is no
sufficient.
Under the circumstances il is re
specially insisted hat a preliminar,
injunction should so, the exact terms o
which to be determined by this cour

The Democrats will make a strong
fight against the Republican attempts
to sweep them from Office. 1t will be
their contention that, as they were ap-
pointed by resolution under Rspub-
lican ruling, the resolutions must be
repealed before there can be any O
against them, and that to repeal the
Mayors signature is necessary.
Under a special act passed through
the efforts of City Clerk James f. Con-
nelly, that official has practical control
of t~hirty-one employees of his office,
although there are some Republicans
after places on his staff.
The Excise Board controls the selec-
ton of its attaches, or would if the civil
service law were set aside. There are
two places hat the Republicans covet
IN the license inspectors department,
those of Assistant Inspectors Hugh
Spillane and William Roebling.
City Comptroller j. Henry Bachelor
has fourteen clerks, who would prob
ably remain undisturbed, in keeping
with the Democratic precedent of leay-
ing the Republicans here in office, AS a
matter Of fact, the comptroller under
another act has much the same juris-
diction over his office force as the city
clerk.
City Treasurer Albert IT. Guenther's
office force of six clerks will see some
changes if some of the Republicans
have their way. William G. Schmauder
wants to go back, as do the others who
formerly filled places there.
The positions held by seven clerks and
a stenographer IN the office of City
Auditor George Forman, or rather un-

as spoils, with one or two exceptions,

ATTENDANTS AT
INSANE ASYLUMS
NEED BETTER PAY
DR.. Cotton Says This Is Only
Way to Obtain Proper
Care of Patients.
Especial to the Newark start

TRENTON, Dec. 3.-The regular
quarterly meeting of the heads of the
various State institutions was held at
the State House today, when papers
were read by various department heads
The principal paper was by DR.. Henry
A. Cotton, of the New Jersey State
Hospital, in which he laid great stress
upon a higher class of attendants IN
insane asylums. He said:
TT is becoming more and more a
problem as TO how we are to take care
of the patients entrusted to us with
the help obtalnable at the wages now
paid. In spite of the precautions and
vigilance on the part of those in charge
of the insane, accidents will happen,
which will bring disgrace upon the
management.
Il do not mean that all of our attend
ants are incompetent or wilfully abu-
sive, but frequently we have to take
anyone who applies in order to keep
our number of attendants up to a SAFE
mark. Fortunately, serious accidents
from abuses by attendants are rare, but
the fact remains that they should not
occur at all. How to entirely eliminate
the abuse is a problem that is occupy
ing the attention of many State hos
pitfalls today.
THE governor has recently taken up
this question, and seems. to be much
interested in improving the service sof
the State hospitals. No better sugges-
ton could be offered him than to adopt,
this provision; that is, increasing the
attendants salaries abou 20 per cent.
and providing means for pensioning
| them after twenty-five years service.
Edward r. tombstone, head Of the
Home for Feeble-Minded Children at
Vineland, urged that the advisory
board appoint several new committees
One, he thought, should be an appro-
priations committee to pass upon all
appropriations for State institutions, no
money to be granted by the Legisia-
ture without the Endorsement of this
committee. The State commissioner OF
charities and corrections should be a
member of the committee. This would
bring unity of action and would mean
better results, he declared.
He also pleaded for an inspection
committee that could act with the
State commissions and the Governor
when an investigation became neces-
sary in any institution. This, he claimed.
would eliminate many of the sensa-
| tional inquiries.

WALSH LOSES FIGHT FOR
REfiEARING OF APPEAL,

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-John r. Walsh,
convicted of misapplying the funds of
the Chicago National Bank of which he
was president, was denied a %rehearing
of his appeal to the Federal Circuit
Court Of Appeals here today by Judges
Grosscup, Seaman and Baker.
The denial of the motion for a rellear-
ing leaves John r.. Walsh without other
recourse than the Supreme Court OF the
United States to stay the execution OF
the sentence committing him to five
years in the Leavenworth Federal peni-
Tertiary. The court declined to admit
Walsh to bail. but permitted him on
his motion to defer the beginning of the
sentence pending the application to the
Supreme Court, meanwhile placing hiW
in the custody of the United states
marshal.

THE FRATERNAL PICNIC.
Rain Runs Out Outdoor Pleasures But
Indoor Features Entertain
Crouds

Eddyville. Sept. 15.--(Special) )-The
big fraternal picnic at Eddyville on
Tuesday, September IA was rained out,
so far as any picnicking was concern
ed. The heavy rain the night before.
as well as showers all forenoon, pre-
vented any crowds coming by rail. The
weather in the afternoon permitted
carrying out the literary program, or
part of it at the opera house. A part
of the 54th Regimental band came
from Ottumwa, and dispensed good
music all day.
The main features OF the program
were addresses by DR.. Whitehill of the
Homesteaders of Oskaloosa and George
F. F'rink Of Des Moines, state manager
of the Modern Woodmen of America.
and Harry Evans of Des Moines, editor
Of the Yeomen Shield. A dialogue by
home talent on why They Joined the
Rebekahs" was given with much zest.
and made the hit Of the day. The floor
drill by Homestead Camp No. 1S of
Oskaloosa, was one of the best drills
put on exhibition anywhere, and drew
crowds in from the street to witness
it. The Royal Neighbors, too, gave an
exhibition drill. Altogether the day
was not a failure, although any at
tempt at picnicking was spoiled.

bands Return.

Paris, Sept. 15.-Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, accompanied by her daugh-
ter Ethel, left here today for Switzer-

Contrary to published reports. Mrs.
Roosevelt will not remain in Europe
until her husband returns from Africa.
Mrs. Roosevelt leaves with her
children for Switzerland, thence to
Italy and sailing from Naples or Genoa
in few weeks for America. 1t is
asserted that this has been the plan all
the while for the Roosevelt family,

meet her husband, and will remain
with him while he Is in Europe. Mrs
Roosevelt and her children are de.
lighted with their stay in France. All

CROWDS ATTEND
BRANDT FUNERAL
FLAGS AT HALF MAST IN DES
MONIES AS UNUSUAL HONOR
TO PIONEER.

Des Moines, Sept. 15.--The last re-
spects we're paid the memory Of
Isaac Brandt, eminent pioneer OF
Iowa and Des Moines, who died sud
denly from a stroke Of apoplexy Sun
day night, at the First Presbyterian
church, East Twelfth and Mayle
streets, yesterday afternoon. The
spacious church and Sunday school
alidjtoriums were packed to overflow
ing with friends who had gathered to
pay a silent tribute to the man who,
all during his SO years of life, had
worked increasingly for the benefit Of
his fellows.
Flags all over the city stood at half
mast yesterday and business at the
city hall was postponed for the after
noon in respect to Mr.. Brandt.
The congregation OF mourners at
tending the funeral was most unusual
and at the same time indicative of the
popularity of the old pioneer. Men
and women, many of them years past
the allotted three score and ten years,
tottering in their steps and with tear
dimmed eyes, brushed shoulders with
city, county and state officials, younger
in years, but with no less respect for
the dead man and no less sorrow for
the loss of a friend and beloved
citizen. Young business men and even
school children who had known Mr.
Brandt by his ever cheerful smile and
his hearty word of greeting were TO
be seen in the audience.
Rev. ]. w. Day pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, delivered the
funeral address. He gave brief out
line Of Mr.. Brandt's life. telling Of his
early activity in municipal affairs
when Des Moines was no more than a
country village, of his association
with the famous John Brown in con
Quoting the underground railway
of his election to the general assembly
and to other public offices, and OF
his unceasing enthusiasm in municipal
affairs even up to the day Of his
death.
The interment was at WOODLAND
cemetery. The pallbearers were Lafe
Young, George Shope, Jeff Logan, d
H. Hooker, A. J. Mathis and George
| Mattein.

BANKERS GET
DOWN TO WORK.,
HEAR REPORTS
OPENING OF THE CONVENTION
PROPER is DELAYED TO GIVE
SECTIONS TIME TO DISPOSE OF
IMPORTANT BUSINESS.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-two important
divisions of the American Bankers
association, the trust company and
clearing house sections, met today IN
place of the session of the main coli
vention. The work taken UP by these
sections is considered by bankers
quite as important as the main busi-
ness meetings of the convention. The
officers made their reports and an
open discussion Of the details OF the
financial problems to be met in trust
companies and clearing houses oc-
cupied much time. In the trust COM
pany section, Daniel S. Remsen of the
New York bar, was scheduled to speak
on the post Mortem Administration
of Wealth." and in the clearing house
section different systems Of clearing
house work In various states were
considered.
At the clearing house section meet
| ing the report of the secretary on the
campaign for the appointment OF clear
| ing house examiners was read. 1T
shows good progress has been made
in the adoption Of the plan.
The address of Edward IT. Perine,
president Of the Audit company of
New York, held the attention of the
trust company section. He cited
statistics showing 'eposits with trust
companies now total $3,567000, an in
crease of % per cent for the year.

Taft's Boston Speech.

Boston, Sept 15.-Facing almost
two thousand representative business
men. Taft stood in Mechanics hall
last night at the beginning of the 49,
600 mile tour through two-thirds of
the states of the union. 1t was the be-
ginning also of chain of social
events wherein large cities will rival
each other in extending hospitality to
the nations head.
President Taft said:
Occasionally hear the query,
sWhy should start on such a trip?'
and What particular good does it do
to anybody?' 1t isn't going to be "a
pleasure trip, although l shall enjoy
it. 1t will involve much hard work and
mental effort to think of things to say,
and say them simply and clearly, but
it will certainly give me much more
accurate impression of the views of
the people in the sections visited. 1t
win bring closely to me the needs of
particular sections, as far as national
legislation and executive action is
concerned; and believe it will make
me wiser man and better public
officer I ought to be able to explain
some difficulties Of government, some
problems for solution from the stand
point Of an executive and a legislator
as distinguished from that of the hon
est but irresponsible critic. The per-
sonal touch between the people and
the men to whom they temporarily
delegate power, of course, conduces
to q better standing between them.
"It is certain that our banking and
monetary system is a patched up af-
fair, which has satisfied nobody. The

parent that the trend of minds of the
