The csIer Theory h Law.

The death of an aged man. even II
caused by street car. Is no loss to
his family, according to the argument
of Fred It. Harwood. counsel for the
Detroit United Railways. He quoted
the Bible to prove II.
The case was damage suit OF rela-
tives OF Rev. Charles Simpson, who
was killed while getting on car.
They sued for $4,000. Attorney Har-
wood argued that as Rev. Mr.. Simp-
son was seventy-seven years old and
superannuated. his friends or rela-
tives should not feel aggrieved about
his taking OF. This was the Bible
passage quoted in support of his
ideas:
THE years Of mans age are three
score years and ten. but IT, through
strength and vigor man comes to four
score years. then Is his strength but
labor and sorrow"
The jury awarded $1,000 damages.

COMMITTEE BILLS.
Wade Through Bunch of School
Measures; Many Killed
ABOLISH RURAL DISTRICTS
Recommendation Made for Assembly
to Pass Measure Providing That
School Funds BE Deposited
for Interest.

Des Moines.-The schools commit
tee Of the senate has waded through
q bunch of school bills. But few of
the proposed measures came out with
favorable reports. the others being
recommended for the scrap heap.
One of the important bills which
received favorable action at the
hands of the committee is the Bal
kema measure which eliminates In
dependent rural school districts and
makes the township the school unit.
The effect Of this measure is to wipe
out the numerous schools which have
from six to eight pupils.
Another important bill which comes
out CT the committee with the recon-
mendation that 1t pass, is the meas
ure by Hammil of Hancock, which
requires all school treasurers to place
the school funds out at interest.
which interest must be turned over
to the contingent fund of the school
corporation. There are a number OF
schsol treasurers 10 the state now
who give the interest to the school
district, but most of them think the
interest is part of the emoluments Of
the Office. The bill requires interest
OF 2 per cent on 80 per cent OF the
daily balances.
The Dunnegan bill which calls for
an appropriation of $4,000 to buy
the Western Normal school at Shen-
andoah and convert it into a state
normal school like the institution at
Cedar Falls, will be returned to the
senate without any recommendations
whatever.
The bill by Brown OF Decatur to
appropriate $4,000 for the establish
ment of similar institution at Tab
or, taking over the Tabor college, and
the bill by Crow of Monona for the
building of the school at Denison.
were both reported for indefinite
postponement.
The other measures which the COM
mittee hit In the head with a view
of killing them are the Chase bill
creating county board Of education
and the measure by Allen of Jeffer-
son providing for the commission
plan of school government in all
school districts of 10000 population
or more. The committee deemed
both these measures inadvisable.
