NEW POINTS
IN STATUTES
INVOLVED

A personal injury suit which will in
volve the question of assumed risk un-
der the new Indiana statutes was
started in the Lake Superior court by
Attorneys Mcmahon & Conroy of Ham,
nond.
The suit is that of Nick German vs.
the Inland Steel Co. 1t is alleged that
on Jan. 3. 1912 the plaintiff was ordered
to cover certain ingot moulds with
caps.
That he was informed of the danger
attendant to the performance of this
act. The confined gases caused tn =
mould to explode and the plaintiffs
face and head was covered with moult-
en- metal.
There was serious injury to one eve
ard one ear was filled with the moult-
en- metal. $4,000 damages is asked.
Usually these complaints read that the
p.aintin was commanded to perform
certain act but that he was not inform
go or the dangerous character of it,
In this complaint the admission is
made that the plaintiff was Informed Of
the dangerous character of the work
but that the company, under the new
law, had no right to compel him to do
such work and assumed the risk when
he did as he was told.

All the Eastwoods were in fair form
with the exception Of Knoerzer, who.
somehow or other, could not get his

Captain Eastwood then stepped into the
second game, and although he was a
little out of form he brought I'D the

CHICAGO REALTY MEN KICK
ON PLAN Of COURSE
Opposition to Relieve Congestion of Freight Terminals in
Chicago Comes to Surface-Line Is Suggested Paral-
Icing Indiana Harbor Belt From Franklin Park
Around City to Indiana Harbor.

opposition to the plan to relieve the
congestion of the freight terminals in
chicago as devised by the fourteen
leading lines along with the suggestion
or government control was expressed
oy L. c. Fritch. chief engineer of the
chicago Great Western railway, who
talked on the subject of railway termin-
ais at the weekly luncheon of the
Cook County Real Estate board in Chi
cago yesterday
Mr.. Fritch also expressed the opinion
that the railroads entering the Union
passenger station at Canal and Adams
streets should not be permitted to
build big terminal adjacent from the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad as
to do such a thing would mean the
building up of a barrier that would
divide one part of the city from the
other and prevent the development OF
business of the city in that direction.
The place to build a railway ter
minal Is south in the direction of the
city's present growth" said Mr.. Fritch
The freight terminals of the
railroad are used up to the limit at the
present time and this can be relieved
by taking from them the through
N' pot uo not beileVe that the
plan proposed a few days ago that of
using the inner belt line will do 1t as
only fourteen of the roads have Joined
IN II; they must all be parties to it.
The plan proposed by the fourteen
roads Will not solve the problem:
along the lire of the inner belt indus
tries are located that will interfere with
the through traffic; aside from that
obstacle 1t will only serve its purpose
Tor few years when the congestion
will compel another change

proposed plan provides for leasing
agreement; the roads should own the
central terminal"
Mr.. Fritch suggested a line parallel
ing or very nearly the Indiana Har-
Dor belt line, beginning at Franklin
Park and passing around the city to
Indiana Harbor.
The time has gone by when rail-
roads can be permitted to have indi-
vidual terminals" said Mr.. Fritch. The
city should compey railroad to permit
other lines to use it's terminals upon
the payment of proper charge Rail
roads are quasi-pubIic corporations
and the city should have this right.
Land in big city like Chicago is too
valuable and this policy should be
pursued in order to relieve the con-
gestion."
The Chicago plan cannot be com
pletely carried out until the railroads
are electrified at least within the inner
zone. having a radius of at least ten
miles and that the railroad cannot be
practically and economically electrified
until the terminals are reconstructed

enormous expense, to attempt to cleo
trify the railroad terminals as now To-
Gated.
There must be a unification of ter
minals with common use in groups, with
common approaches" he said The
city he declared, lis expanding so
rapidly that it will be impossible in the
future to allot to each separate rail-
way its own independent terminal In
twenty-five years." he said there
would not be an area sufficient for the
commercial development of the city and

were permitted to expand in a matter
unrelated to each other as in the past
