DECISION
RENDERED
S. P. COMPANY LOSES A BIG
SUIT FOR DAMAGES IN
NEVADA

One OF the mos, important deci-
Sions of law that has come from the
Supreme Court in some time. was
handed down yesterday. when Judge
Talbot was concurred in by Judge
NnrcrOsS, and handed in their writ
ten opinion that the S P. r. r. Co.
must pay damages for ejecting a man
from the train at Montella, this State.
in 1910 The opinion. which is volunl-
nous. was written by Judge Talbot,
Judge McCarran not being on the
bench when it was originally submit
ted.
In the year 1910 Dick Forester wa,
elected forcibly from the train at the
station mentioned. the conductor
claiming that he was riding on a seal
pers ticket The man claimed to have
purchased the ticket in Texas. He
protested about the ejectment and al
ter time brought suit. The expos
ure rendered him i'll and he died be
fore the case was finished. 1t was
taken up by the widow and fought
to the finish in Reno where personal
bills to the amount OF $l.ll5 was al
lowed. together with DAMAGES in the
sum of $4,000
From this decision of the jury and
Judge of the lower court an appeal
was taken by Attorney Levers for
the Company. Since May 10th it has
been hanging fire in the upper court
and the decision of that court now
upholds the original decision. On
top Of this damage allowance the ln-
terest has piled up since the first de-
cision. which makes quite tidy sum,
all because the man had a ticket and
was elected in Nevada.
As the decision is very complete
and the citations cover vast amount
OF research. it is hardly probable that
motion for new trial will be allow
ed. 1t is regarded as among the
most important decisions rendered III
some months.

made no provision for supplying the
districts with the extra money needed

Fifteen years ago today Manila,
T. l.. there was a pretty hot time

and each has story to tell which is
of more than ordinary interest.
John Frick. of this city, was among
those to be on hand. He tells how
the American fleet tore a great hole

with the Wyoming battalion and they
followed pretty close On the other
side of the wall sat headless Span

his head away and the trunk of the
man was seated in the chair with the
gun across his knees. Other sights
just as grewsome were on every hand

1t can be handled at the proper time.

bulloin would result in the richest
service in the entire Navy.
As the battleship Nevada is to be
about the huskiest affair in the Navy
and to be armed with the biggest
guns, it will attract universal at
tentiOn. Nevada will see that the
service corresponds with the craft
and that the officers table is weight

u. S. TO PAY THE COST
OF REQUIRED CHANGES
Transformation of Concourse at
Union Station to Meet Needs
of p. 0. Department.

The United States can pay for the
transformation OF the concourse in
Union Station-to avoid interference
with passengers-and provide a route for
the mails from the station over the
bridge, now building, to the new WASH
ington post Office. While this expense
cannot be regarded as part of the res
toration of the Union station following
the construction of the bridge. yet there
Is provision in the appropriation act for
the expense of arranging satisfactory
conditions in the concourse, and this pro-
vides the needed authority This is the
ruling of George Z. Downey, controller
of the Treasury, contained in an opinion
requested by the Postmaster General
Request for Decision.
The Postmaster General set forth that
the bridge was building, but that a diff
ference of opinion had arisen as to the
responsibilities of the government and
the Washingtn Terminal Company, in
control of Union station, to who
should pay for arranging the concourse
lie stated that ii was regarded as absof
lutely necessary that the iron fence sep
aratlng the concourse from the tracks
should be removed. The bridge con-
structlon act he cited as providing for
the cost of putting the Union station in
repair after the bridge was connected
between the two buildings. The Wash
ington Terminal Company, he said. was
unwilling TO pay for the removal of the
fence. and he asked If the bridge build
ing fund was available. While this fund
was not available. the controller pointed
out another way to meet the situation.

CUSTOMS WATCH ON SHIP
REVEALS NO CONTRABAND
Schooner Angel Is Being Unloaded
Slowly of Plaster Cargo at Alex
andria Wharf.

Though the work of unloading the
plaster at the plant of the AleNandria
Fertilizer and Chemical Company, has
been pushed, slow progress has been
made In getting the cargo out of her,
owing to its nature, and it will be the end
of this week or early in the coming week
before she is discharged and ready to
leave.
Custom house inspectors are aboard the
vessel night and day, one during the day
and two at night, to keep watch for the
dutiable goods which, it is alleged. the
vessel has aboard, but not on her mani
fest.
Close watch is kept on her cargo being
removed and on everything carried ashore.
Nothing has yet developed to show that
the schooner has anything contraband
aboard, and 1t is generally believed the
customs officials will find no cause for
and ready to go.
First Cargoes in Years.
The Angel is the first vessel to bring
plaster to the Alexandria fertilizer plants
in about two years, the last previous
cargo having been landed by the Nor
wegian steamship Ragnarock in Decem-
Der, 1911. Until about five years ago the
arrival of plaster-laden vessels at Alex
andria from Nova Scotia was of almost
weekly occurrence. but it is stated that
the farmers are not now using plaster on
their land in the quantities they formerly
did, and as a consequence the imports of
the material to the Alexandria mills now
amount to but very little, a thousand
tons meeting all demands for over a year.
The Angel is an old visitor to this city
and Alexandria with ice from Maine. and
taking coal away, but it has been several
years since she was last up the river.
1t is probable that she will go from
Alexandria to Norfolk or Baltimore to
load coal for 4 New England point. and
will then go to Nova Scotia TO load plas-
ter for Philadelphia or Baltimore.
