The malpractice suit of Earl A. Saw
age against DR.. Richard Schillinger
and DR.. Charles Marvel was continued
today The main witnesses were at

at the time Savage was confined there.
Savage took the stand for short time.
One of the main witnesses was VIM.
H. Richie who testified that he was an
inmate of the hospital at the time Saw
age was there. He told the court that
a small weight was placed on Savage's
leg and that eight or nine days later
another additional weight was placed
there. 1t is alleged in the interroga-
tories that weight of twenty pounds
was placed on the limb to keep it
properly in place. The plaintiff alleges
that this is not a fact but that only a
weight of eight or nine pounds was
placed on his limb. Riches testimony
substantiated that of the plaintiff.

BLAME PLACED ON
RAILROAD COMPANY
Some Merchants Say Com
pany Should Stand Loss
of Freighs in Flood.

Who will be responsible for freight
lost or damaged during the floods is
a question which is interesting local
said to be responsible by the mer-
chants but railroad officials state that
clauses in their bills of lading release
them from liability in case OF foods.
The Adam H. Bartel company ship
ped merchandise amounting TO $1,000
shortly before the food and the cars
in which the goods were shipped were
submerged under water for five days
at Dayton. Ben Bartel, an officer of
the company stated, We are not IL
able for the goods which We shipped
but the question of liability for the
goods lies with the merchant to whom
the goods were consigned and the rail-
road company. Much of the goods
was confiscated by the relief commit
tee at Dayton and we believe the rail-
road can be held responsible for the
loss. We will assist our customers in
fling and obtaining claims for goods
lost in that way"
Walter McConaha of the McConaha
company, stated that although they
had lost no freight during the floods,
he does not believe that railroad COM
panies can be held responsible as it
is clearly stated in the bills of lading
that the companies will not stand re-
sponsible. Other local merchants are
divided on the question.
Charles D. Slifer, freight agent of
the Pennsylvania railroad company in
this city stated that he knew of no
merchants in Richmond who lost any
freight during the food. THE rail-
road company could not be held re-
sponsible for goods lost during the
food as the shipper releases the rail-
road company from any liability when
he signs the bill Of lading. In the
conditions to which the shipper agrees
is a clause which says that the COM
Dany shall not be responsible for any
delay, loss or damage which may re-
sult from any act of God. under
which foods would be classed."

Opportunity for a defense and an ex-

Presbytery meeting that he had failed
to communicate with the church body
at all and the step, removing him
from the ministry permanently, was
taken.

End of Clerical Control of the

BRUSSELS, April 23.-There was
national rejoicing today on the part
of the socialist workmen over their
The laboring class has won great
victory and it is predicted that the end
of the clerical control of the govern
ment is in sight.
King Albert is reported to have play
ed a strong hand in guiding the gov
ernment's policy. The King is also
said to have spoken to Premier Bro
queville against the plural voting

bitrary and unconstitutional"
The newspapers were published here
today, all the printers and sterotypers
having returned to work
While 10000 workmen resumed
their posts, there will not be a COM
plete resumption until Monday.
The strike committee, headed by NJ
Vandervelde, met today and adopted
a resolution ordering the men to re-
turn to work unless it develops that
a political trick has been attempted to
break the strike without giving the
men their demands. Even the most
radical of the strike leaders do not
believe, however, the the government
rsorted to an artifice to overcome the
strik. The language of the resolution
was merely precautionary.

government to draft electoral reforms
held it's first meeting today
A great parade was held here by
thousands of socialist workmen. Ban
ners were displayed bearing such in
scriptions as victory in peace is

This was based on the methods used
by the strikers.
In consequence of the workmen's
victory it is said that the government
will abolish plural voting and extend

well what sort of disclosures will be
made If these statements of congress
ional campaign funds are ever printed,
got into the fracas then with the
assertion that publicity had been given
already.
Mr.. Murdoch at once exploded that
by showing how little publicity there
really had been. He added that the
statements should put into document
form so that the constituents of mem
bers and the people generally could
gain easy access to them, and SO that
they could be permanently preserved.
All this time the Republicans had
sat silent. But now MIR. Mann, their
astute floor leader. jumped in with
cogent argument to show that the
Murdoch motion was in order. Having
done that he went on to complicate
the situation by injecting a new tech
nicality as a reason why the state
ments should not be printed.
The controversy finally brought the
Democratic leaders, Underwood and
Fitzgerald to the floor. Fitzgerald is
the Pat McCarren machinist who de-
serted his party to help Uncle Joe
Cannon the last time the ex-czar from
Danville was elected speaker. Since
then Fitzgerald has been made chair
man of the great committee on ap-
preparations and now he is being good
as far as the Democratic machine
in the House is concerned.
With this array of leaders in action
it was apparent that the motion Of
Mr. Murdoch was doomed, and it oc-
casioned no surprise, therefore, when
Speaker Clark sustained Mr.. Hard
wick's point and declared out Of order
the motion which he had invited Mr..
Murdoch to make.
Thus for the second time Mr.. Muir
dock had put the Democrats to a test
of their sincerity on campaign fund
publicity and they had gone on record
as against it. But he is not through
with the matter yet, and other oppor-
tunities will arise. In the end, not
only will the statements be printed
but the whole country will understand
the hollowness of the Democratic pre-
tense in favor of campaign publicity.

SCuIARl CAPTURED.

GETTINJE, Montenegro, April %
King Nicholas of Montenegro, accom-
panied by Crown Prince Danilo and
the Montenegro staff, entered the cap
tured city of Scutari in triumph today
After long siege which began Oc-
tober 20, when Montenegro declared
war against Turkey, the Montenegrin
flag finally flies over Scutari.
Three thousand Montegrins were
killed in the final assault Tuesday, and
5000 Turks fell. twenty-five thous-
and Turkish prisoners of war were
taken.
Since the siege began 1000 Monten-
grins have been killed or wounded
The accault upon the Turkish city
was one of the most remarkable of
modern times. Despite the repeated
demands the European powers made
that the bombardment cease, the Mon
tenegrins grimly continued their at
tacks upon city assisted in the last
few weeks by the Servians.
The final fall of the city is chiefly
due to the Servian artillery. The Ser
VANS moved several batteries of pow
Cilul SlC5c suns " IhC IiAS
Almost continuously day and night for
three weeks the Servian guns kept up
terrific Are upon the fortress sur
rounding the city.
The Montenegins fought with great
bravery. Repeated attacks upon the
citadel of Tarabousch, the Monte
negrin soldiers sacrificed their lives
with a recklessness which command
ed the admiration of all Europe. A
corps of 200 Montenegrins climbed the
steps of Tarabosch to cut the wire
rences which the Turks had erected to
impede charges. Each soldier knew
he was going to his death and not a
man of the 200 survived.
Scutari fell before a grand assault
made by the Montenegrins and their
| Servian allies after a final general
bombardment of As hours, during
which the city was set on fire. The
flames were communicated to an i'm
mense powder magazine, which ex.
ploded.
