BIG JUDGMENT
IS AFFIRMED
Hotel Jefferson Must Pay
V. J. Wiley $1,000 as
Damages
FELL THROUGH SHAFT
Tra yelling Man Won a., G n Federal
Court and Was Victorious
In Appel'.
FELL THROUGH SHAFT

News was received in this city yes
terday from st. Louis to the effect
that the United States Court of APP
peals at that place had affirmed the
decision of jury in the Federal
Court at Little Rock recorded more
than year ago in which judgment
was returned for V. J. WilleW, OF
Jackson Tenn, travelling man, who
sued the Hotel Jefferson of this city
for $4,000 damages for injuries sus-
tanned in falling through an elevator
shaft at the hotel in August, 1909.
The plaintiff sued for $4,000, but the
jury allowed him only $4,000 as ac-
tpal domages
The suit was appealed by the THU
locks, owners of the Hotel !effer-
son, to the United States Court OF
Appeals, and has been pending ever
since in the st. Louis tribunal. The
announcement that the judgment had
been affirmed caused no little sur
prise here as the evidence in tie Fed
eral Court at Little Rock did not
show that the hotel company was en-
tirely to blame for the accident.
It will he remembered that Mr..
wiley was guest at the Hotel JET
ferson and left his room shortly otter
7 M to get breakfast before CATCH
ing an early morning train for Alt
heimer. He came cut of his room
with his grip in his handhrdM,d xH
with his grip in one hand and a. pack
age of laundry in his arm. The
laundry, it was shown by the evil
dence, was held up near his face, aud
the attorneys for the defendant tried
! to show that he had obstruc.e1 his
: own view in walking in the wrong di-
rection III the hall. Instead of walk.
ing into passenger elevator oren-
ing, az Mr.. Wiley said he though ne
was doing, he walked into an open
shaft over freight elevator ond fell
two stories, breaking his hip and sus.
tanning other bruises He was given
every attention by the hotel manage
ment and was provided with the
services of one of the best surgeons
in the city. He remained at thu
Florence Sanitarium in this city for
some weeks under treatment and
1ater recovered, but was compelled to
use clutches for several weeks. He
was travelling in this territory at
that time for a computing scales
company.

Washington, April 15.-The whole
of the Sixth cavalry has been order
ed to move tonight from Des
Moines to the Mexican border and to
take station near the scene OF the
disorder near Aqua Prieta.
A commanding officer at Aqua
Prieta has been given cartes blanche
to summons ito his assistance the
troops he needs pending the arrival
of the Sixth cavalry. Specifically he
has been instructed to concentrate
Immediately at Douglass and Aqua
Prieta four more troops of Cavalry
Colonel Sibley, in command Of the
department of Colorado has been Or
dered to remove his headquarters
from Denver to Huachuca, forty miles
north of Douglas and Aqua Prieta.
These orders were the results OF
conferences today at the White House
between the president and General
Wood, chief of staff, and was based
on private reports and reports made
public from private parties and mill
tary officers along the border.
It was ascertained today that there
has been no orders to any command
or along the border to cross -~ the
border under any circumstances until
he gets the command direct from
Washington.
Taken in connection with the views
expressed at the White House yester-
day, it is the president who will de-
termine whether the trops shall cross
the border if the Mexicans or 1nsur-
rectos, or both combined, begin
fighting in position that will en-
danger the lives and property of
American citizens. .~~s-a =,
The president up to late hour this
afternoon had no reply from the
Mexican government as to the warm
ing given President Diaz by the
state department that the Mexicanns
shall not select places of battle
where there is apt to- be danger to
American non-combatants.
The right Of one government to- stop
summarily the fighting of Insurrectos
where the interest of such govern
ment is adversely affected, was made
plain by Great Britain in her de-
scent a day or two ago on Mexican
soil and her prevention Of fighting by
the Insurrectos at San Quentin in
lower California.
Great Britain acted as If it were a
settled principle that she should land
marines on Mexican soil and order
the Insurrectos to stop fighting.
