G!idcrs ON the Ice.

For the first time IN many years

amusement for a small army of ice

river has been covered with skaters
enjoying what is believed TO be the
finest skating in this part of the coun-

where the water is deeper, splendid
skating can be had.

TAFT DISCUSSED FOREIGN RELA-

Vote for Executive
Sessions.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-Because
President Taft set the example in his
recent trip and frequently since of dis
cusslng openly and unreservedly the
pending arbItrati.,a treaties with Great
Britain and France, the senate today
voted 10 admit the public to its de-
bates and preserve them in the Con-
gressonal Record.
The vote was decisive. only eight
senators of the siXty-six recorded being
in favor of closed doors.
The controversy as to whether the
discussions should be in open Or closed
session was almost entirely executive.
1t was brought to a head when Senator
Raynor announced it was his purpose
to make a speech in return to the
treaty. Senator Lodge protested. lie
said the delicacy of the entire subject
of foreign relations demanded that dis
cussion of it be executive. Senator
Raynor resisted the movement, but
Senator Bacon, who was presiding, put
q motion by Senator Lodge, seconded
by Senator McCumber, that the SEN
ate go into executive session.

officials Of the state department
should show less restraint than sena-
tors, and why President Taft felt free
to go from one end of the country tn
the other discussing as he saw fit, the
treaties and the attitude of the senate
concerning them.
Senator Smith reiterated the lam
ruage of the treaty with Great Britain

VERDICT SET ASIDE.
Judge HObson Grants a New Trial i'm
JOlly-DOOlittle Case.

The verdict of the jury in the case
of jolly VS.. Doolittle for S6,500.00,
rendered in October, 1911 in the
Howard county district court, was set
aside by Judge Hobson last Tuesday
afternoon, the judge sustaining the
motion of defendants council for a
new trial.
In announcing his decision, Judge
Hobson stated that in his opinion
the case presented question for
jury, but that in his instructions to
the jury he had erred in mis- state
ment of the measure of damages,
and that in any event and regardless
OF the rules of law the verdict was
so excessive as to show passion and
prejudice on the part of the jury.
The records of the case show that
the court allowed the plaintiff to re-
cover for Mrs. Jolly's expectancy,
and this was in accord with All in
struction asked by plaintiffs coun-
sci. Attorneys for defendant, NJ. b.
Doolittle asked an instruction limit
ing the damages to the time between
the alleged injury and Mrs. Jolly's
death. 1t seems that the court now
takes the view that the latter re-
quest embodies the correct rule, since
he also stated that in such actions by
a husband practically only nominal
damages are recoverable.
The verdict so set aside was one
of the largest ever rendered in this
county. Its setting aside probably
marks only the end of the first chap
ter of this litigation, since it is eX-
rected that the matters growing out
of the same set of facts will again
come into court in other forms.
Attorneys John McCook and Frank
Sayre represent the plaintiff, A. T.
Jolly: NJ. B. Doolittle is represented
by Reed & Pergler, while E. A.
Church represents Mrs. Doolittle.-

Are Still Grafters.

The Yankee Robinson show left
behind them bad record for graft
ing and crookedness. While they
have enlarged somewhat over former
years, they sustain the unsayory rep
utation gained in neighboring towns.
While some of their schemes were
comparatively harmless, good
many well authenticated cases of
short changing are reported, in
which sums of So and upwards were
taken from patrons. Aug. DeGrote
was one of the victims. He was first
short changed SO, and reported the
loss, and asked assistance to recover
it, but was told it was impossible.
However, he went in the evening,
passed marked So bill and got a
dollar bill for it. DeGrote then en-
tered complaint and one of the show
men saw that he was given his money
back and ne was asked to keep quiet
about it. Certain circumstances
would indicate that the whole
bunch" of showmen stand togeth-
err on the deals.-Cresco Plain
