OPENS NEW STREET.
Bill to Make Accessible Large Sec.
ton Near Soldiers Home.

To make more accessible from the
northwest section of the city the many
boulevards and parks in the vicinity OF
Mcmillan Park, the Soldiers Home
grounds and the campus Of the Catholic
University is the object of a bill which
Senator Gallinger presented today.
The bill proposes to extend street
from Georgia avenue, at the point it inter
sects Barry place. to 9Th street. and to
allow the Commissioners to accept the
dedication of strip seventy-fve feet
wide through the campus of Howard Uni
versity in continuation of the new street
to Mcmillan Park. In lieu Of the strip
of land to be dedicated by Howard Uni
versity. the college trustees will receive
the land now in College street, between
4th and 9Th streets.
This change in the streets In the vicin-
ity of the Howard University campus Is
urged on the ground that it will ulti-
mately form a part of an extension of
Vermont avenue, giving straight
thoroughfare from the White House
through the northwest section to the
system of parks near Mcmillan Park
and the Soldiers Home grounds.

ASSUME THE RISKS
Those Who Ride on Car Plat
forms Share Responsibility.
COURT OF APPEALS VIEW
When Seats Are Available, Jury to
Decide-Judgment for
Railway Affirmed.

In affirming the judgment of the
District Supreme Court In the case of
Sullivan against the Capital Traction
Company in favor of the company, the
District Court of Appeals, in an opinion
by Mr.. Justice Van Orsdel, holds that
passengers riding on platform assume
the ordinary risks Incident to such an
exposed position.
Although 1t is not conclusive negli-
gence for a passenger to ride. even
though there be no unoccupied seats
which lie could have taken, 1t is a ques-
ton for the jury, says the court, to
the degree of care he is to exercise.
Presumptive Evidence Explained.
The court further holds that in such
a case no presumption arises that the
accident was due to negligence of the
railroad company merely because he was
passenger and because he was hurt,
and they also say that often in a ca Sc
where such presumption would properly
arise and where it would be only neces-
sary to show that the plaintiff was a
passenger and was hurt in order to make
out a prima facie case of negligence
nevertheless, where the plaintiff has ex-
pressly set up in his claim that GER
tain acts were done or omitted by the
railroad company as the negligence which
caused the injury. he has waived the
right to the presumption or to the doc
trine of res ipsa loquitur and must prove
the negligence which he has charged as
every other plaintiff must prove his cause
by a preponderance of the evidence.
/ The decision is of especial interest to
lawyers, as 1t defines the doctrine of bur-
Fden of proof and settles other technical
Questions of practice.

He stated in his speech that dur
ing the % years of his life which
he had given to the promotion of his
famed organization, he found but
little time to devote to his home in
the west, and that when he did get an
opportunity to visit his ranch it was
always in the winter or late autumn
and never in the summer, when the
land was at its best.
Hence, he desired to spend his de-
Ginning years in the country from
which he got his first start in life

1909 Visit n Farewell:
1t means that, in all probability,
people of the three cities will never
again see Buffalo Bill galloping across
the arena as leader of a yelping tribe
of cowboys. Therefore his farewell
appearance here occurred Aug. II of
last year, when immense crowds
greeted Buffalo Bills Wild West and
Pawnee Bits Far East shows in Dav-
export. Those who were present on
that night will remember the figure
of Colonel Cody and the ovation Civ
en- him. He sat almost as straight
in his saddle as he did years and
years ago when the wild west show
was neither so famous nor so old as it
now is
Old settlers were there to see him
and many were the anecdotes told of
during the time that Col
onel Cody lived in Scott county and
later when he lived at Clinton, Iowa.
The famous press agent for the show
paid a special visit to the three cities
and stocked the newspapers with true
stories of the early days in this vi
cinity. They were stories of heroism
and peril with Buffalo Bill as the
central guiding figure.
