Supreme Court Makes Final
Disposition of Jefery-Rail-
way Case this Morning
COMPANY MUST PAY BIG sum
(From Tuesdays Daily

The Supreme Court of the state this
morning made final disposition of the
long contested suit of Thomas B. JEFF
cry ct al against the Chicago and Mil
waukee Electric company when decis-
ion was handed down granting the
plaintiffs judgment in the sum Of
$1G2,399.91 as the price to be paid for
the land taken from the plaintiffs for
the right of way OF the main line of
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway company. The Supreme court
In this action has affirmed the decision
of the lower court in the trial of the
case and it is probable that this will
be the end of the litigation which has
been in the courts since the building
Of the main line of the Electric Rail
way company. The case was started
by the late Thomas B. Jeffrey and af-
ter his death his heirs were implicated
as plaintiffs in the action. The claim
nation by The Railway company of a
portion of the land owned by the late
Mr.. Jeffery as portion of right of
way. A commission was appointed to
view the property and assess damages
and this commission awarded Mr.. Jeff
cry little in excess of $4,000 for the
land and the damages to his plant. The
Railway company had offered to pay
the sum of 5000 for the right of way
and the award of the commission was
unsatisfactory to both parties to the
litigation. The case was taken into
the Circuit court by the Railway com
pany and after a trial lasting several
weeks a jury awarded the plaintiffs
damages in the amount of $125,O00
The Railway company promptly appeal
ed the case to the Supreme court and
the court reversed the action Of the
jury on the grounds that the amount
set was excessive and sent the case
back for a new trial. On the second
trial the jury awarded Mr.. Jeffery
$4,000 and the second appeal was
taken. This time the court sustained
the verdict of the jury and allowed
the amount together with interest and
costs.

Eliza beth st. Property Own
ers Give 3 Cents a Foot to
Pavement Contract
OUTSIDERS GIVE TO BIG FUND

The fight against the contract for
the paving of Elizabeth street is now
on in earnest and the property owners
of the street who opposed the letting
of the contract to any one save the
lowest bidder have employed Robert
Verne Baker as an attorney to fight
| the case and a subscription of funds
is being taken to pay the cost of fight
I ing the case in the circuit and supreme
courts of the state. The agreement
that is being made by the property
owners provides for the raising of the
defense fund by the payment of three
cents per front foot by each of the pro-
perty owners, this to be in lieu of all
charges for the defense of the position
taken by the property owners. Many
of the property owners have already
signed the contract and it is certain
that some formal action will be taken
in court within the next few days to
| fight the action of the council and
force the resembling of the action by
which the contract was let to Chris
Petersen at the last meeting of the
council. The people of other wards in
the city are taking the most lively in
terest in the proceedings and the com
mittee in charge of raising the defense
fund have been offered assistance by
many people not directly interested in
the contract. 1t is declared that even
some of the people who signed the pc
tition asking the council to let the con-
tract to the lowest local bidder have
contributed to the fund to fight the case
in the courts. John O'Donnell who has
been fighter for the rights of Eliza
beth street property owners for years
| offered to take the matter into court
as an individual tax payer but other
tax payers insisted that they be par
| ty to the action and it now looks as if
there would be at least fifty property
action against the city to restrai1 any
work being done under the contract
let by the council at the last meeting.
Lake avenue property owners antici-
pating the paving of their own street
and being DESTROYS of securing compel.
ing bids have offered financial assist
ance for the Elizabeth street fight.
John j. Currier the president of the
| Property Owners organization is cir
culating the agreement to raise the de-
Tense fund and he feels certain that
all the money needed to guarantee the
carrying of the fight through the SUI
preme court of the state will be raised
within a week. Under any conditions
it is pretty certain that no work on the
paving of the street can be done until
after the city council has listened to
the demand of the majority of the pro-
perty owners on the street.

sign OF his command to be fouted.
mat Rodgers assumed the entire re-
sponsibll1ty Is further shown by
diary kept by one Of his officers,
which reads. in part, as follows:
Yesterday, May 16, while beating
down the bay, we spoke to a brig
coming up who informed us that he
saw the British frigate the day before
off the very place where we now are,
but she is not in sight. We have
made the most complete preparations
for battle. Everyone wishes it. She
Is of exactly our force. Should we
see her I have not the least doubt of
our engagement The commodore
(Rodgers) will demand the person
impressed, the demand will doubtless
be refused and the battle will in
stantly commence. The commodore
has called in the boatswain, gunner,
and carpenter, and informed them
of all the circumstances, and asked
if they were ready for action.
Ready was the reply of each"
Just why historians treat this es-
sential beginning of our second war
with England SO lightly, and accord
it so little space, practically passing
it over as unimportant, is hard to
comprehend. Investigation proves it
tc have been in our country the
cause of a political revolution, and
the inauguration of an American pro-
tectorate on the oceans, seas, bays,
lakes and rivers of the world. Yet
the victory won by Rodgers Is &C.

crate twenty volume history of the

in the twenty volumes by B. J. Los.

Bryants four huge volumes a single
sentence of two lines is all that is
allotted this most daring naval ex-
plot.
So intense was the feeling aroused
by Rodgers feat-of-arms that in the
fall of 1911 the campaign for congress
sional representatives both in the
senate and house were chosen on the
terms voiced in the pertinent ques-
ton: Are you for war with Eng

affirmative were elected, and those

SCALP WAS BADLY Affected

II am more than gratif1ed by the
successful results l obtained by the
use Of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruff and scales.
My scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell out. MY coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruft
that had fallen from my head. My
profession being that of a barber. I
was particular about having my hair
IN good condition, and was also in a
position to try many lotions, etc., for
the scalp. These had little or no ef-
feet. I had heard so much about the
Cuticura Remedies that I resolved to
try them. I shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly,
anointed parts Of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes Of Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment rid my head OF this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
[ have now got thick growth Of hair
and am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching Of the scalp. There
Is no question but that the Cuticura
Remedies cured me- I frequently
recommend them to my customers,
and they think great deal Of them"

clans were sent home and their
places taken by youthful enthusiasts
who infused fresh blood and spirit
into the staid circle at Washington.
Among the latter were Henry Clay
OF Kentucky and John Calhoun of
South Carolina. These two became
leaders in house and senate, and it
was chiefly owing to their fiery elo-
quence in defense Of Rodgers action,
and in favor of adopting punitive
measures with regard to England, that
President Madison was finally forced
to declare war.
More than one writer has fallen
into the error of declaring Commo-
dore John Rodgers to have been of
foreign birth. AS a matter Of fact,
he was American to the core, having
been born in the state of Maryland,
July II, 1771. His favorite vessel was
The President and with her he &C
complished wonders of naval war
fare. When the war with England
opened he was sent out on a cruise,
and in 148 days captured II British
merchant ships and the English
armed schooner, the Highfyer. The
crew of the latter vessel had burned
and plundered Havre de Grace, Mary
land. the home Of Rodgers, SO that the
commodore may be said to have had
private as we'll as patriotic reasons
for wishing to lay The President
alongside of her.
Before he sailed from Boston Rodg-
ers had obtained from some unknown
source partial knowledge of the
secret signal code Of the British
navy, and caused certain flags to
be constructed accordingly. When
he came in sight of the Highflyer he
flew the British ensign, which was
Immediately hailed. A signal was
then displayed on the English YES
sci, and Rodgers succeeded in an
swering it correctly. He then Sig
nailed that he was the British ship
Seahorse, and the two vessels ranged
alongside each other. One of Rodgers
officers donned the uniform of a
British lieutenant and went aboard
the Highfyer, where he informed the
commander that part of the High
flyers signal code was lost, and
asked that he be allowed to make
good the deficiency. The permission
was graciously granted and taken
| advantage of, after which the British
