Building Retaining Wall Over Again.

Workmen in the employ of the city
are at work reconstructing a portion of
the retaining wall, which was erected
along the west side of the Stevens branch
when the river course was diverted TO
the new bed. The portion of the wall
that the city is working on is a strip of
about forty feet on Brooklyn street.
City officials during the past few months
noticed that the wall was commencing
to lean towards the river. The strata
of rocks and filling that were placed on
behind the wall at its completion have
settled and cause pressure to bear
ags:nst the wall that it is greater then

down piece by piece. The wall was
erected year ago last fall by Long and

MALICIOUS PROSECUTION
BASIS OF $4,000 SUIT
President Benton of the University of
Vermont Defendant in Action which
Had Its Start When He Was at
Miami.

Burlington, July 26.Claiming mali
eious prosecution, DR.. Hugh Fl. Moore <
| Oxford, Ohio has sued President Guy
Potter Benton Of the university of Yer
mont for $4,000 damages, the case aris-
| ing from an affair which took place when
President Benton was at the head OF
| Miami university, located at Oxford. The
case was entered yesterday in Chitten-
den county court.
Darling & Mower have been retained
as counsel for Miami university and Pes
ident Benton at this end of the line. J..
III. Enright and " A. Bullard of this city
and Charles L. Hopking of Cincinnati, O.,
are attorneys for the plaintiff. Judge
Elan Fisher of Eaton, o., Judge John n.
Van Deman of Dayton, O., and the Hon
+. M. Coppock Of Cincinnati, O., compos-
ing the law committee of the board of
trustees of Miami university, are the
Ohio attorneys for the defense.
When interviewed in regard to the suit,
President Benton said that it was not
not executed. DR.. Moore, of the plain
tiff, was formerly medical director at
Miami university, and he also controlled
a drug storte in the town. 1t was alleg-
ed that DIR. Moore sold liquor to man
not a student, that the liquor was taken
to college dormitory and the miscon-
duct and damage resulting were such
that President Benton, backed by the
trustees of the university, thought it
best to prosecute Df. Moore for illegal
selling Of liquor in" dry" territory. Pre-
vious to that DR.. Moore had been remov-
ed as medical director of the university.
When the liquor case was tried before
the mayor of Oxford, who, according to
the laws of Ohio, acted in the capacity
of police Judge, Moore was found guilty
and fined $50 and costs. A motion for
new trial was denied, and the defendant
appealed the case to the court of COM
mon pleas, and the judge of that court
sustained the verdict OF the lower court,
whereupon DIR. Moore appealed to the
circuit court sitting at Cincinnati. Re-
Gently this court reversed the verdict on
a technirality and now DIR. Moore sues
President Benton on the ground that he
instigated the verdict of the mayor and
that the president of Miami university
and the mayor were in collusion.
The board of trustees of Miami uni
versity through the president Of that
body the Hon. Walter L. Tobey, edi-
tor Of the Republican News OF Hamil
ton, o., has written to President Benton
saying, "any attack on YOU Of any char
acter by DR. Moore will be met with and
will be taken up by the board of trustees
Df Miami university.
