Supreme Court Has Decided
She Is Entitled to $4,000
From Railroad for Death
Of Husband.
MARKS THE CLOSING
OF A HARD CONTEST
Suit Was Fought Through the
Circuit, Appellate and Su-
preme Courts - Interest
Must Also Be Given.

Mrs. Jeanette Sudhoff. administra-
engineer on the Pennsylvania railroad
who was killed while on duty in 1905.
received word this morning that
Judge Jordan of the Indiana supreme
court had affirmed the judgment of
the jury of the local circuit court
which awarded Mrs. Sudhoff $4,000
damages.
Mrs. Sudhoff, who, with her four
children, live On South Eighth street,
is probably the happiest woman in the
city today, for the decision means
that privation which she and her chill
dren have been subject to since the
death of the father and husband, will
be removed
StubbornIy Contested.
This case was probably the most
stubbornly contested ever arising in
the local courts The railroad COM
pany, after the judgment was granted
in 1905, appealed the case to the ap-
pelate court Of the state and after
several continuances in this court, it
was finally affirmed, but the company
was not satisfied and appealed it to
the Indiana supreme court, before
which body, it has been for more than
a year.
AS result of it's contest of the wild
ow's claim for damages, the railroad
company will have to pay her quite a
large sum. The damages of 5000
which. with the interest at six pei
cent. makes the total the widow will
receive, about $1,000, will be the
heaviest item, but the court costs will
also amount to several hundred dol
lars.
A Question Of Law.
There was one question of law in
volved in the trial of this case in
which all attorneys and jurists of the
state were interested. 1t was whether
a court could reverse judgment on ar
erroneous construction of the law
when it was manifest that in the tria
of the case, the, verdict was fair. i'm
partial and just. Judge Raub of the
appellate court. when the case wa:
! before that body. said that this wa:
sufficient cause for the reversal of the
judgment. The other judges did no.
agree and Judge Raub wrote length!
decision on this point. Attorneys al
over the state became interested. Th'
case was appealed to the supreme cour
by the company for this reason. Tha
body decided with the majority of the
judges of the appellate court, that al
erroneous construction was not suf
| ficient grounds for the reversal of ;
| judgment. when the trial in all othe
respects had been just, impartial ant
| fair.
The supreme court decided all pOint
on which the railroad company raiset
in the interest of Mrs. Sudhoff. Th
money will be paid by the cOmpan.
within a short time, in the judgmen
of Shiveley and Shiveley, who repre-
sented Mrs. Sudhoff.

CHAMP CLARK'S OPINION.

The following letter from Champ
Clark, Minority Leader in the House,
will be read with interest by those
who heard the accusation against
Mr.. Ransdell as to his party fidel-
ity. If there is anyone who knows
whether Mr.. Ransdell is. true to the
Democratic party, it is Mr.. Clark,
and now as he has spoken 50 plain
ly, it is about time for his accusers
to keep quiet" The letter follows:
Bowling Green, NO., Oct. %, 1909.
Arnold Barksdale, Esq,
RustOn, La.
Dear Sir-YOurs to hand making in
quiries as to the standing of Hon. Jos.
+. Ransdell as party man among his
charges that you say are being made
against him.
never heard his party standing ques-
toned and his standing in that regard
is sufficiently evidenced by the fact that
at the close of the last session he was Sc
lected a. Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the Congressional Committee,
and a few days since, IN letter to me
about party matters, our prospects in next
campaign, etc, Mr.. Chairman Lloyd OF
the Congressional Committee, in giving
reasons why we will win the House
in 1910 ranked RansdelPs activity among
them.
Mr.. Ransdell always attends Democrat
ic Caucuses and abides by the &c ;isions
thereof. He voted with the party against
the Payne Bill, also in favor of my mo-
ton to recommit that bill with instruc-
tons, which instructions are tip-tOp
Democratic platform, also against the
adoption of the Conference Report OH
the Payne Aldrich-SmoOt Tariff Bill He
also voted with his party to recommt
that Report. These are all the party
test votes there were since became Mi
nOrity Leader. He also voted for me
for Speaker against Hon. Joseph q. Can
non, all of which seems to me a good,
straight Democratic record. My recol-
lection is that on one or two items on the
Tariff Bill he voted differently from what
did, and so did many other Democrats
but no caucus action was ever taken OH
them and | never tried to make them a
test of party fealty, and would not if it
were to do over again. Everybody knows
that in General Tariff Bill every mem
Der will find items which he does not
like, and that any Tariff Bill, whether
passed by Republican or Democratic, is
full OF compromises, but l am proud OF
the unanimity with which the House
Democrats voted in the General votes
more unanimously than ever before; and
MIR. Ransdell helped this unanimity all
he could.
Mr.. Ransdell is the most prominent
Democratic advocate of the River I'M
provement in Congress and is a tower OF
strength in that regard. He is very
active member and stands high, and de-
s.rvedly SO, with members on both sides
of the House. feel certain that he can
be depended upon to abide by the decis-
ions of a Democratic Caucus at all times.
Nobody doubts his integrity or ability.
| need scarcely add that personally an,
very fond of Mr.. Ransdell and count him
among my close friends.
Yours truly,
tSIGNED] CHAMP CLARK.

uN0RATITUDE.

Republicans are ungrateful and 1t
is a parlous thing to be in politics.
Congressman Ransdell of Louisiana
is just now a shining example OF
the ingratitude of constituents. He
has been in Congress five full terms
and half of another, ut all times
and on all occasions doing his best
for his people and for the South
generally. He is now in the midst
of campaign for denomination at
the primary. Two men are running
against him, and they double team
on him at joint meetings and de-
nounce him as republican. The
basis of the charge is that he refused
to vote for free rice and free lumber,
and that he has an interest in 300
acre rice plantation. He also joined
with the insurgents in overturning
Cannon, but failed to do something
else that they wanted him to do.
Ransdell no doubt has his short
comings, but declining to put rice and
lumber on the free list was not one
of them. His people produce rice
and lumber, and at the same time
they pay the enhanced cost OF all
the necessaries of life embraced in
the protective tariff list. 1t is be-
yond his power and that of the
democratic party to reduce the tar
lift on these necessities, which are
mostly produced at the North, and
Ransdell would be fool to vote to
put on the free list the products OF
his own people until their articles
of consumption are placed there.
The tariff is a game of give and
take. The South has been giving
long enough, and as it is impossible
to get square deal it is time this
section were doing a little of the
taking.
| Ransdell's "On to Dixie" speech
was worth more to the South than
ANY utterance of any Southern Con-
gresham for twenty years. He LAID
before the country in a striking and
impressive manner the richness anC
resources of his section and especial
ly of his State, and commanded {
wide circulation of his argument al
over the country. And he meets thu
usual reward of public benefactors-
Tor at least is threatened with it
Republics are composed of constit
uents, and republics are ungrateful

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.


Senatorial and Congressional race
are quiet in Natchez, the campaign
progresses actively in the rest of the
State. The Congressional question
is of more urgency owing to the fact
that the Congressional primary will
he held shortly whereas it is more
than a year before the people will
have a chance to say who shall rep
resent them in the United States
Senate. Mr.. Dickson is making the
race on his record and on the Dem
ocratic platform. Mr.. Shelton is
running as Democrat, pure and
simple, attacking Mr.. Dickson's
record in the vote on the lumber
schedule on which the latter voted
with the Republicans. Mr.. Quin,
the latest announcement, is giving
the same reason for his candidacy
as Mr.. Shelton, but is attempting
to cloud the campaign with his at
tacks on the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth amendments to the Federal
Constitution.
1t should be stated that the lum-
Der schedule was not made party
question, a number of Democrats,
both in the Senate and in the H puse
Of Representatives having voted for
this schedule Of the Payne-Aldrich
triff bill.-Natchez News.
Representative Dickson is under
going the same sort of opposition
that Mr.. Ransdell, the excellent
member Of the Fifth Louisiana dis
trict is encOuntering. From the view
point of the Herald both deserved
the criticism, for their vote on the
lumber question, they have received
from Democrats of their respective
districts. But as to violating party
law, Democracy is all at sea on the
tariff. Vide the Texas platform
Besides, criticism and capital pun
ishment are different matters.
Both Ransdell and Dickson have
made excellent general records anG
it is by general record that they
should, and will, be judged. IL
displace them for opponents whose
only claim of title is the vote of thu
incumbents on aquestion wherein
Democrats of both Houses were di
vided, would be unjust and shor
sighted. Addressing himself to sucl
opposition Mr.. Ransdell made tn.
following fair and fitting PROPOSE
\ ton, which also applies to Mr.
Dickson's case:
i was your Representative, an,
l did what seemed best for me i'm ;
difficult and trying situation. WheI
you go to the polls on the 9th o
September place in one balance o
the scales all my work for this dis
trict. If you disagree with my pc
sitiOn in regard to lumber place i
in the other balance. and as tn,
scales drop 80 cast your vote"
This recalls to memory the wa.
that Henry Clay met opposition t.
one of his votes, that was displeas
ing to his people, the hunters o
Kentucky" Many attended his APP
pOintments bearing their rifles. TAX
ing up one he asked a displeaseC

ply was-"No, l pick my flint ant

faithfully, the chance you give YOU
