Big DAMAGE SUIT.
City Railway Faces Action for $4,000
for Killing NJ. S. MARBLE.

In the damage suit of the WIDOW of
NJ. S Marble against the Topeka Rail
way company for $4,000 for the
death of her husband, who was killed
by a street car in North topeka sept
19,190S, Judge Dana refused to sus-
tain the company attorneys demurrer
to PLAINTIFFS evidence after the noon
hour today and the case will be al
lowed to go to the jury.
The street railways attorneys. Ferry
&, Doran, have made a strong and
determined effort to keep the case
from a jury. AS soon as the opening
statement had been made by E. D.
McKeever for the plaintiff yesterday
morning. demurrer was filed on the
statement of facts to be shown The
entire morning was consumed in hot
argument between the lawyers, the
company contending that Marble had
been guilty of contributory negligence
to such an extent that the company
was in no way liable. That demurrer
was overruled yesterday after the noon
hour and the plaintiffs testimony TAX
en- before the jury.
The evidence shows that MARBLE.
who lived at 900 Jackson street, North
Topeka on the morning of his death
started to go to the Morn & Meyers
grocery at 6:15 a. M, and in crossing
the tracks at the corner of Kansas
avenue and Laurent street he was
struck by the northbound car.
MI. MOTHS, Ill Tie IIO1lI VI
his store, heard the motorman yell just
at the time the car struck Marble.
Others in the store stated that the
crash sounded like the car crashing
into a wagon or striking a horse. A
brother of the deceased saw the acct
dent and says the car was running at
an extra high rate of speed. A for
mer employe of the company, Mr..
Snyder, testified the car could have
been stopped in distance of fifty feet.
The fact contended by the PLAINTIFFS
attorney is that the car was going at
such a high rate of speed that it ran
$50 feet or more before 1t was stopped
and that the motorman had not at
tempted to stop it before striking the
man.

DIR. w. w. GAvITT's BIRTHDAY.
He Gave the ElI1s the Time of Their
Lives Last Night.

DR.. w. w. Gavitt and the members
of the Topeka lodge of Elks celebrated
the seventy-second birthday of the lat
ter at the Elk lodge quarters on Jack
son street iasr night. The invitations
indicated that the event would cele-
brate the fiftleth anniversary of the
host but one of the members who
knows says that Dr. Gavitt has lived
in Topeka for forty-two years and that
he was twentY-eight years of age when
he landed in the city.
Any way that you look at it the
event last night was genuine success
and the large representation from the
Elk membership which was present
indicates that just such an evening
was expected The lodge room on the
upper floor WAS filled with card tables

OUT ON A STRIKE.
Worlxmen on Memorial Building
Complain of Discrimination.

Forty shovelers engaged on the
at noon today. They were getting
$3.50 a day for eight hours work, but
demand $1.75 for the same length of
time. The last sum, they claim is paid
to some of the workmen who are do
ing the same kind of labor.
However, WOlfinbarger & Noller,
the contractors by whom the men
were engaged, say that only one, Al
Lloyd, a trimmer, is paid this amount.
His work requires more skill than the
ordinary shoveling. They also state
the others had agreed to work for
$3.50 day for eight hours work when
they were hired, and that they will
not be taken back, even at this price,
but that MeXicanS will be employed
in their place.
In addition the contractors state
that altogether seventy shovelers
were employed altogether, thus leav-
ing thirty, who did not go out. The
teamsters also stayed.
These were at work this afternoon.
Meanwhile the strikers lined up on the
south edge of the cellar and made
sarcastic remarks to those still labor
ing. However. beyond jeers, there
was no hint of trouble.
1t seems that according to the con-
tractors that one of the men told the
men that others were receiving $1.75
day and all this morning were urg-
ing the others to strike. This noon,
the forty gathered together, and de-
manded more wages. When the de-
mand was refused they notified the
contractors that a strike was on.

Gentlemen-I had been pronounced

and must truly say that 1 feel like
girl of sixteen. L have lain in bed
for hours after fit of coughing, when
life seemed a burden, but, thanks to
Ozomulsion, 1 am now we'll and
strong.

attorneys had told Mr.. Conkling their

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 have just learned of a serious ac-
cident which happened at Washburn
college gymnasium. Not long ago a
young lady named Miss Verne Case
bier was injured during the basket
ball practice. She is suffering with
a broken arm and internal injuries.

the bone himself to avoid unpleasant
questioning. The affair is being kept

are risking their health in gymna-
SUM work. n. c. SMITH.
Physical Director Fisher, upon be-
ing interviewed denied that Miss
Casebier had been playing basketball.
''She was walking down the back
steps of the gym with some of the
other girls when she stepped on the
skirt of the one in front of her and
fell. In attempting to catch herself
she sprained her wrist slightly. 1t
did not make a serious wound-in
fact there was not even a mark or a
color to show that anything had hap
pened. Miss Casebier has had her
arm broken number of times before
she came to college. and she feared
that she had injured it again, but she
did not. Miss Casebier uses her wrist
as if nothing had happened She did
not receive the injury playing basket
balm fact she does not play basket
ball"
Other officials at the college gave
out the same statement.
