Rescript, Cornish, ].
In two actions brought by husband
and wife for injuries sustained in an
accident which occurred on the eve
ming of April %, 1909. on DARTMOUTH
street in the Deering district of the
City of Portland, Held:
1. That the place where the acct
dent happened was highway within
the meaning of r. Is. Chap. %, Sec. 10,
The street had been laid out and ac-
cepted by the municipal officers sew
eral years before, and the portion on
which the accident occurred had been
built and maintained at least six
years prior thereto.
,. That the wife was in the exer-
else of due care ana was in no way
responsible for the accident.
3. That whether or not the Boston
& Maine Railroad is secondarily liable
is not involved in this suit. The city
is primarily liable.
A. That while it may be a matter
of doubt whether the written notice
given, to the city within IA days after
the accident. stating that the wife had
received various bodily injuries
Sc namely var lous. Severe in
iuries to various pof tions Of my body
including my spine,' n was sufficiently
specific to include an injury 10 the
ribs, yet as the evidence of injury to
the ribs was admitted without objec-
ton the point is raised too late. The
notice was sufficient to recover for
the injuries therein alleged and If the
defendant wished to defeat recovery
| for other and distinct injuries, not
specified therein. but covered by the

band for loss of his wifes services

PLANS INQUIRY ON
 HIGH COAL PRICES
Boston Association Proposes Action by Court Unless Rates Are Reduced. duced.

Boston, Nov. That the high price asked by the retail dealers for hard coal in this city is not justified by existing circumstances is the opinion of the United Improvement association, which voted last evening at it's Mo- vember dinner and meeting at the Boston City club, to accept the report of it's executive committee upon this matter, recommending decisive action.
 The association believes that, while the present prices of hard coal may bring only a fair return to some of the local dealers those unfortunate enough not to have secured a suffi- cient supply from the s&ncipal mining companies and are therefore obliged to pay an unusually high price to the independent miners-it is nevertheless true that most of the local dealers are charging such high prices for their low priced coal as would be warrant ed only in case their entire supply consisted of the higher priced indepen- dent coal
 The association has been informed by one of the largest dealers in the city that in his opinion the conditions warranting the increase of 50 cents a ton will no longer exist after the mid dle of December, when he believes the retail price should be reduced to an amount only Pa cents a ton in excess of last winters price.
 The association, therefore, voted last i evening that the report of this con- mittee be made public, and that if the present conditions are not changed by the middle of December, either by low ering the price to a level 50 cents below the present rates or by the in- troduction of new factors bearing up- | on the situation, 1t should then pro- ceed to bring evidence before the court in regard to coal prices and apply for the appointment of a master to take further testimony.

the doubtful column. tonight the den- ocrats will have a vote of 4s, or just one-half of the entire membership of the senate. with a democratic vic9 president in the chair to cast the de- ciding ballot ih case of a tie. Seven states are yet to be heard from def- nitely. A senator from one of thess would give the democrats a clear ma jority, and it is possible that their strength will be even further increased by winning in several.
 Kansas has been added to the denn- ocratic column in the past 2f hours. The states in which the complexion of the legislatures is yet to be decided are Illinois, Michigan, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming. Ordinarily Tennessee could be relied upon to help the democratic party, but the factional fight there may prevent in this crisis.
 In Illinois, there are complica- = tions growing out of the multiplicity of parties, rendering it uncertain whether there will be a senatorial election. In that state there should be chosen a successor to the deposed Senator Lorimer, as well as Senator Cullom, whose term expires on tha fourth of next March. If there should be no election the effect would favor the democrats by reducing the mem- bership of the senate to 94, of which number the 4s chosen already would be a working majority.
 In New Hampshire. the despatches indicate a possible combination os democrats and republicans, and in that event prediction as 10 the course 0e the man selected would be mere guess work,

FOR VICE PRESIDENCY,
Possibility Somebody from Taft States
 Will Be Named.

New York, Nov. 7.-Comment on the Approaching selection of republican vice presidential nominee to receive the T. electoral votes of Idaho. Vermont and Utah has brought out the fact that several members and officers of the republican national committee fa- vor the designation of a nominee from one of those states.
 The results of the Tuesday election have made the filling of Vice President Hherman's place on the ticket an ap- pointment of purely an honorary char acter, and suggestions have been made here that the honor should go to some republican from one of the three states carried by Taft. In this connection Senator Borah of Idaho, who has been suggested by several members of the committee end former Governor Mead of Vermont, whose name was proposed before the Chicago convention are both favored.
 While the national committee meets in Chicago Nov. 12 to select the can didate, # is not bound to designate any person, if a majority of the com mittee members favor leaving the nomination to the electors themselves. Such action would make it possible for each group of four republican cleo tors to cast their votes for men from their respective states.
 If the national committee makes the designation Governor Hadlev of Mis- souri will in any event have the SUD- port of a large number of the mem bers.

REVIEWS PERUVIAN ATROCITIES.
Great Britain Has Done Little Since
 They Were Disclosed.

London, Nov 7.-The outrage in the Putumayo rubber district of Peru came up again in the house of con- mons last night during the committee stage.
 In reply to a question Sir Albert Spicer, the chief of the American de- partment of the foreign office, stated that the attention of Great Britain had heen called to the Peruvian atrocities in September, 1909. by articles pub llshed in Truth. He explained the locus standi of the foreign office by calling attention to the peculiar mix up resulting from the fact that the Peruvian Amazon company employed Barbadians, who are among the suf- ferers. An instance of this Is the man ODonnell. He Is a Peruvian who is in jail in St. Vincent, B. w. l., on the charge of murder, and Great Britain is trying to extradite him from one of her own colonies
 The company, said the government spokesman, had taken no steps to i'm prove matters beyond dtsmissing seven of the Peruvian sub managers because they lad relief on the denials of one director and the secretary.

COLONEL MAY ALSO WIN OUT IN CALIFORNIA
Refuses to Make Any Announcement Concerning Published SpecuIations- A"BnthpIace Jubilee" Planned at Staun- ton Va- where Presdent-elect Was Born-Now Certain That Democrats Will Control the Next Senate.

New York. Nov. 7.-Uncertainty as to the electoral choice of California and Illinois, as developed by belated returns from both states was the chief point of interest today, although the counting of ballots in several doubtful states still was under way
 Illinois Goes to Wilson.
 That Illinois was safely in the Will son column was indicated early in the evening. but California. which had been claimed by the democrats shortly after the closing of the polls, wa yered toward the progressive ranks. The Wilson plurality, estimated We'd nrsday at 12.0O0 was cut to less than s01. with a few hundred remote pre- cincts still unheard from. Progress sile leaders claimed these would change the total to a Roosevelt plural ity. but the missing precincts general ly were accredited to the democrats, and the Wilson lead while small, seem- cd safe.
 Wilson Lacks Majority on Popular
 Vote.
 After apparently holding Illinois for nearly forty hours after the polls closed. Colonel Roosevelt lost it's 29
 
 assembling of statewide returns showed a dedRite victory for Governor Wilson.
 An the strength of incomplete re- turns as to the popular vote for Will son. Roosevelt and Taft, the estimate was made tonight that Governor Will son would not have a majority of all votes cast In many states the pop ular vote has been only roughly esti- mated thus far; but the reports indi- cate that the combined vote of Roose- welt and Taft will be approximately one million more than the vote for Governor Wilson.
 Wilson's Vote 46 Per Cent.
 The figures will be materially chang cd by the final count. and it is ex- pected that the proportion for each candidate will not vary greatly. The preliminary count gives Wilson ap- proximately forty-six per cent. of the vote. Roosevelt @ Der cent: and Taft -5 per cent The total vote thus far reported is less than in 1908. while the official returns are expected to bring it above those figures. In 1908, out of combined vote of 14,030, ,S5S east for Taft and Bryan, President Taft received over 4 per cent.
 Roosevelt Carries Minnesota.
 Returns from Minnesota today con- hrmed the claim of Roosevelt to the F electoral votes of that state. The Wilson victory, claimed on the earlier returns, had become doubtful last night as the count progressed. The latest returns today with many pre- cincts still to be heard from, gave Roosevelt an apparently safe majority. The victory for Wilson in New Hamrshire did not carry with it con- troi oi the state legislature, where the republicans again have a majority on joint ballot and will dicate the selec- ton 0f United States senator.
