Robert Klepel Asks $500 and Injunc-
ton Against the Electric Line


A damage suit against the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric Railway has
been instituted by Robert Klepel, a
Racine county farmer, who claims that
his land was greatly damaged by an
embankment which the railroad has
adjacent to it. Papers in the suit were
served on W. 0. johnson, receiver, in
Chicago. In his complaint Klepel~ says
the railroad has large embankment
directly adjacent to his farm. When
ever there IS a rain, even though a
Light one, Klepel claims large quaint
ties OF gravel and sand are washed
down from the embankment onto his
land, spelling crops. The dirt washed
OIL the embankment is not of the same
quality as that on his land, and there
fore portion Of his farm has been
spoiled for agricultural purposes. He
claims that there are two acres of his
farm at the present time which have
been spoiled. Klepel says the dam
age to his land and crops totals up to
$500. lie also asks that an Injunction
pc served on the railroad, to compel
them to either remove the embankment
or else construct d ditch at the bottom.

HOW TO BRING DAMAGE SUITS
Commission Sends Special Notice in Re
gard to Workmen Employed by Com
panies and Individuals Not Under
WOrkmen's Compensation Act.

Approximately eight hundred Wis
consin employers of four or more per-
sons in common employment, have
fled notice that they desire not to
come under the provisions of the work
mems compensation act. This infor-
nation comes from the industrial COM
mission with the names of those who
have fled such notices at Madison.
The list covers the situation up to
September 90.
Under the new workmen's compen-
sation act every employer of four or
more persons in common employ
ment became subject to the act Sep
TENDER / unless before that date no.
tice to the contrary had been fled. All
employers who are not under the com
pensation act are liable for damages
in case of injury to an employee
through the negligence of the employ
er. This liability comes under the old
common law method, but those employ
ers who are not under the act cannot
plead the defense Of assumption Of
risk, fellow servant or contributory
negligence. The damages in such
cases are not limited as under the com
pensation act but are fixed by the jury
at such sums as will cover loss Of
wage, medical attendance, physical and
mental pain and suffering. In a recent
case in Milwaukee the jury gave a
verdict for $4,000. In case of death
the verdict is not likely to exceed
$4,000, Many employers who have

MARSHALL'S REPORT.
Receiver for MounDays Finds 1888 in
Cash.

Reports filed with the district court
by John Marshall as receiver for Don
A. MounDay and L. D. w. MOunDay
and the American Sugar Manufacture
ing and Refining company show that
among the assets gathered by the re-
ceiver is a cash item of $533.95, ten
shares of sugar company stock, face
value a half million dollars, and mort
cages to secure the payments on New
Mexico land in an amount aggregating
$S42, 600 That is all of the property
and assets of the MounDays and their
sugar company, so far as the receiver
has been able to learn.
Mortgages on New Mexico land re-
ported by Receiver Marshall, are the
property of the Consolidated Sugar
company, with which the MounDays
were connected. These mortgages are
to secure the payment of the purchase
price of land in the San Ortez grant
in New Mexico. Many of the mort
cages are for a face value of SO, 800,
while four are for $40, 200. A part of
the assets reported by the receiver are
also certain contracts to land purchas-
ers, guaranteeing the erection of a SUI
gar beet factory and stipulating that
81 to IS ton would be paid the land
owners for their sugar beets.

No more curious will has been offered

on which 1T was written bore no date and
many of the words were hard to decipher
Mr.. Willing specified that three-fourths

FEARS FOR SUFFRAGE.

Reasons for Taking the Stump.

Peoria, Oct 17.-Admission by Mrs. Me-
dill Mccormick that she and the other
Chicago suffrage leaders Interested them
selves as individuals in the judicial cam
paign in the Fifth district because they
feared for the equal suffrage law, caused

in this section today. Mrs. McCormick's
statement was made in speeches. She
said:
THE woman suffrage law is not entirely
safe yet. The opposition is working day
and night. AT the next election will
probably have contest hands.
We have taken the law to half a dozen
lawyers and we know there is a technical
point in the verbiage that may be miscon-
strued if the judge desires to do So
Asked if Arthur H. Shay, the Progressive
candidate for whom the suffrage orators
stamping the district would construe
the law in favor of the women if he is
elected to the supreme bench of the state

ord shows that he leans to the woman
side of things, and he would not be rum

CAN KEEP FEES
County Attorneys Opinion in
Case of Juvenile Judge.
That Office Is Apart From
Probate Judge.

If Judge Hugh Mcfarland wishes to
keep the fees of the Juvenile court, he
is legally entitled to do so. This is the
opinion of the county attorney, nleo
this morning with the county commits
sioners The office of judge of The
Juvenile court. Mr.. Atchison declares, is
separate and distinct from the office or
Judge of the probate court. The Zee
and salary bill passed by the 1913 leg
islature, under which county offices
are now operating, makes no provision
concerning the compensations of the
juvenile judge. The act creating the
office provides that all fees in the juve-
nue. court shall "be in addition to all
fees or salary received by him as judge
of the probate court"
1t is the custom in Kansas, according
to Judge MacFarland, for probate
judges to retain Juvenile court fees.
Judge Mcfarland, according to the
county commissioners, has not asked
that he be allowed to retain the fees,
but has filed no record of any collec-
tions with the county clerk.
Several county officers have raised
the question of the retention of fees.
The clerk of the district court is en-
titled to half the amount collected
from naturalization fees; the county
clerk is entitled to a per cent of the
money received from hunting licenses;
the county attorney may retain inqui-
sition fees; and the county commits
sioners are entitled to fees for road
viewing.
Fees from the juvenile court
amounted last year to $500. The pro-
bate judge receives a salary of IS, 900
a year, with $4,000 additional for clerk
hire.
The county attorney, in his COM
munication to the commissioners, said:
In answer to your communication
asking for opinion as to whether
the probate judge of Shawnee county
is entitled to all his fees collected as
Judge of the juvenile, will say that
nave carefully examined the law and
ma that the office of judge of the
Juvenile court is a distinct and separ-
ate Office from that of probate Judge,
and that the legislature has provided
that the probate judge in each county
shall be the judge of the juvenile court,
and that any fees which he collects
in the administration of the office of
judge OF the juvenile court shall in no
wise connect with his fees or salary
as probate judge. He simply by the
express provision of the legislature
holds two offices, and I am of the opin-
ion, therefore, that he is entitled to
receive the compensation attached to
each Office"
A second opinion filed by w. e. Atch-
1son was to the effect that it is be-
yond the authority of the board to
make any order preventing an official
from receiving the payment of his en-
tire salary as fixed by statute for every
month he is in office. The board ruled
that each county officer was entitled to
two weeks vacation on pay Accord
ing to law, he is entitled to his entire
salary whether or not he is actively en-
gagged at his office.
