But If Death We're Instant Cash

The prospect Of trying 4 personal
injury case IN the probate court is
facing Judge Hanlsy. a thing which
he says Is unprecedented. The un-
usual situation has arisen out OF the
settlement Of the estate OF Thomas
Warner, brakeman on the Wabash
railroad, killed In u collision about u
year ago.
Ralph h. Preston, administrator Of
the estate, collected $500 damages
from the railway company with which
he paid the creditors of the deceased.
When all debts were liQuidated, he
had left Of the amount just $3.50.
Thereupon the widow put In claim
against Preston for the whole sum OF
$500. asserting that It should have
gone to her.
"You see II Ii this way" explained
Judge Hanley. Under the Michigan
law, II q man 10 killed instantly his
wife aud children have grounds for
damages for their loss In his death,
out II he lives any length OF time.
even half hour or so, the basis for
suit 10 his suffering In that time, and
the loss OF wages while he lie incapac-
itated II II 10 long period.
In the case Of instant death, the
damages awarded 60 to the widow and
her children with exemption from all
other claims. even for the mans
burial expenses. When the damages
are granted on the other grounds,
however, they must 90 into his estate
and to the wife only after all other
debts are satisfied.
Now In this instance, Mrs. Warner
lciaims that her husband was killed
instantly and that she is entitled to
tine whole compensation received,
whereas Mr.. Preston acted on the
supposition that the man lived for an
appreciable length of time after the
accident The hearing upon that point
Will determine whether he will have
70 make good the $500. 1t will have
TO b decided by evidence submitted
just as In any other personal injury
case"
The hearing upon the case is set
for Sept. II.

METERS PROPOSED
FOR PHONE SYSTEM
Manager Won Schlegen Wants
to Make L0quaci0us Subscrib-
ers Pay Larger Bills

The investigation now being made
by the state railway commission will
demonstrate that there il nothing
wrong with the telephone company's
equipment and that our system is q
good one" said General Manager Won
Schlegell. OF the Michigan State Tele-
phone Co.. Thursday.
The whole trouble Ia that the
wires are overloaded with thousands
OF useless calls daily. To cut down
the number of calls a reclassific alton
OF the service must be made or the
meter system installed.
If everybody we're compelled to
pay for telephone call there would
not be 30 many. useless calls. the re-
suit being that q great load would be
taken of the wires and people having
important business to transact would
not be obliged to wait to get their
party.
I'VE realize that the telephone ser.
vice is not what 1t ought TO be, but
TO better II we must find some way
Of cutting down the number OF useless
calls. We are anxious to do this with
out placing an extra burden on our
subscribers. The meter system com.
pels the party using the telephone to
pay the bill. In the same way that the
gas and electric light bills are regu.
lated.
When we distributed the latest H.
sue OF our telephone directory, we
placed complaint card In each one.
Out Of $4,000 cards, but 436 have been
returned SO far and OF these seven
are complimentary"
Commissioner Lawton T. Hemans,
who IL conducting the investigation.
returned to Lansing, Wednesday
night. and he will not return to re.
sumo the hearings until Wednesday
or Thursday OF next week.
