Demurrer Of ms.
COS. SUSTAINED
G. L. HAWKINS, EFT AL,ExcEPTEp
. AND WILL APPEAL TO THE
SUPREME COURT.

In reporting the decision of Judge A.
e. Weathersby as IT relates to the
points of law raised in the now famous
suits styled G. L. Hawkins. ct al, vs..
Insurance Companies, The News was
in error on Saturday in It's interpreta-
ton of the effect Of the courts ruling
in these cases, ten in number.
The facts are Judge Weathers-
by overruled one demurrer in this
case as stated by The News, but it
appears that this was the demurrer
of the plaintiffs to the plea Of the
several insurance companies of the
contractural limitation Of one year, as
stipulated in each policy. This demur-
rer was overruled, permitting the sew
eral insurance companies on final
hearing to plead that the suits are all
barred by reason of the alleged failure
of the proper claimants to file suits In
one year from the date when liability,
II any, accrued. This date was that on
which proof Of loss was filed subse-
quent to the fire in 1905. Though
this demurrer Of plaintiffs was over
ruled by the court they were granted
sixty days in which to reply to defend.
ants plea.
, The demurrer which was sustained
/ in each of these cases was that of the
= defendants-the insurance companies
which sought the annulment Of the
, replication of the plaintiff to the ples
of the insurance companies Of the 81,
, years statute Of limitations for suit a

This demurrer was sustained and thu
plaintiffs declined to reply to the plea
thereupon Judgment in favor Of the in

of next week. The new bill is good
one and contains some very clever
performances. A good juggling act

Dave Danfield. THE Juggling Fiend,"
who opens the show. is one OF the
best in the business. Leonard and
Haley sing some very pleasing songs
and are well received wherever they
go. Rouble Sims, ''The Eccentric Car
toonist," presents something new In
vaudeville acts. The Telephone Girls
with Phil E. Adam are the feature of
the bill. They characterize their act
as "a summary and scentillent friyol-
fty, filled with smiling songs, short
sayings, and dance or two" Their
act Is snappy and bright all the way
through. The latest photo plays are
shown in addition to the regular bill
The show this week is good one.

act has been carefully chosen.-Ad-

TINS particular matter the women have
just grievance. The only barrier
should be incompetence. If women
can pass the same qualifying examina'
lions as men, and If they believe they
are fitted for advocacy, they should
be let In. Many men have failed al
the bar. but IS the men have the priv
ilege of running that risk there is no
reason that women also should not
be given the same chance. The fact
that in the United States. France, ana
other countries they have gotten on
SO well surely proves that they are
by nature not untitled for legal careers
Hitherto they have been kept from,
practicing in the courts OF England
simply because the house of lords de-
cided there was no precedent for theb
