 RAILROADS WEST

Chicago, March 1S-WhfIe sf ia known that swftchmen and switch tenders of 19 railroads entering Chi- cago have voted authorization to their leaders to call a strike if their demands are not met, the formal re- suit of the mail vote will not be an- nounced until late this afternoon af- ter the official count has been made.

YALE MEN IN
 COURT TODAY Charles Forman and Joseph Zimmerman
 Are on Trial Trolley EmplOye Brings Action Against Wealthy Boys for
 Alleged Assault

Charles Forman and Joseph Zim- merman, two wealthy Yale student. who assaulted a trolley car conductor in South NorwaIk, November 30, 1912, appeared before Judge Scott and a jury in the civil court of common pleas today as defendants in a suit brought by Conductor Harry Philip son. Philipson seeks $1,0OO damages from each of the boys.
 The conductor went on the stand in his own behalf this morning to te11 his version of the affair. He claim ed that on the night in question the students boarded the car in South NorwaIk. They were intoxicated and began to make a disturbance.
 They persisted in ringing the bell and annoying other passengers. The conductor said he asked them three times to stop ringing the bell. When they paid no attention to his request he thought it advisable to put them off
 Looking at zimmerman, however, he found that the collegian was about 30 pounds the heavier, so the wit ness decided to ask the motorman for assistance. The witness meanwhile had seized the hook which is used to open windows. He claimed he was attacked by Zimmerman and Forman and he admitted trying to hit Forman with the hook. The weapon caught in the straps so no damage was done.
 There was a free fight in the car at the climax of which the students and the trolley crew rolled off the car into the street in a heap. The con- ductor declared his wrist was badly hurt, that he was cut and his head injured so that it still troubles him.
 On cross examination by Judge John J. Walsh, representing the stu dents, Philipson admitted that he was able to be iIt court two days after the fight and was at the car barns during the following week. He de- nied making a remark to the effect that he would get $50 from each of the students.

He said that that road would not car ry cargoes to a further tidewater point. He then quoted from a book of statistics showing that Bridgeport collected several hundred thousand dollars on imports while New Lon don did not collect s5,OO0 per annum. He said that New London's geo. graphical position was against her as a port. In conclusion he said
 Truth is the wealth of the world, it never perishes until the human race has no further need for it in par ticu1ar instance. repeat, well might the people of the state swell the salt sea with their tears if they are to be burdened with this imposl- ton.
 Senator Johnson of MontvilIe re- piled to MT. Peck saying that he made a number of incorrect state ments. He said that New London'e commerce during the last 12 months amounted to $1S,0O0,00O. He was glad to hear suchSgood words as to Bridge port and was glad to know it was developing and he would be only too glad to give it appropriation if the states finance could stand it''

DOWell Citizen.

S%tatesville, May S1.-Quite a num-
Der of cases on the civil docket. Of
Iredell Superior Court have been dis
posed of this week, but the case which
consumed most time and attracted
most attention and interest was a suit
by r. A. Gather, Of Statesville, against
George M. Carson, a prominent and
wealthy citizen Of Mcdowell county.
MI. Gather brought suit for 800
for alleged malicious prosecution, but
the jury decided against him.
Mr.. Gather is a lumber dealer and
a few years 6 he bought a lot lot Of
lumber from Mr.. Carson in Mcdowell
county. In moving the lumber 1t was
alleged that Gather took certain lum-
Der which he had not bought. He
was indicted in Mcdowell Superior
Court by Joseph ~Spainhour, then soil
citor, and convicted. For some reason
the judge set the verdict aside and
the differences between. Gather and
Carson as to the lumber were settled
out of court. Then Gather brough,
