HOUSE OF LORDS REJECTS
 WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE BILI

London. May 7-The woman's Suf- frage bill was rejected by the House of Lords by a, vote of 104 to 60.
 Viscount St. .Aldwyn in the course of a speech said the arguments for the extension of the Parliamentary suffrage to women which were based on the results obtained in those States of the United States where it had been tried, did not apply in the United Kingdom, because in those States Inen were in the majority, while in the British Isles they were in the minority.
 Conseque he argued, the grant ing of the Parliamentary vote to wo- men in the British Isles would mean the handing over of the destinfes of the country and of the Empire to a female electorate, which was a peril ous step to take.

IMPUTED NEGL1GENCE.-clove


 Creamery Go. vs. DiehI Supreme Court of Alabana,) 63 Southern Re- porter. 196, presents a new twist to the question of imputed negligence. It appears that Grace Diehl, a three year old infant, was seriously maim- ed by the dangerous, alluring ma chinery of the creamery around which she was accustomed to play, and that her father was manager of the creamery and knew of her habit of playing near such uncovered rnachin- cry. The questions arose: Was the fathers negligence in allowing his daughter to play about the danger ,ous machinery imputed to his three year old daughter; could the cream cry company in this case excuse itself by setting up the negligence of it's servant, the manager of the creamery and father of the infant? The court in brief held that the contributory negligence of the father of a three year old child is not available as defense to an action for injuries re- ceived by the child; a corporation is liable for injuries to the child caused by the negligence of it's manager, even though the manager was the chi1d's father. since the child is not respon- sible for the negligence of it's parent.

CASES OF INTEREST

UNTRUTHFUL ANTE-NUPTIAL PROTESTATIONS OF LOVE NOT GROUND FOR ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE.=Love and especially avowaIs of love are usually matters of confidence except to those bene- Nficially involved Often 1t may be ev- idenced by facial expressions or by courts will not recognize untruthful protestations of it as matter of which they are to take cognizance. Tn the case of Schaeffer vs. Schaeffer, LA New York Supplement Reporter, TIA, the court dismissed a complaint for an annulment of marriage. From the complaint it appears that the complainant met the young man at a dance. He called at her home about twice a week and they went out for walks ands> stroIls. The young man insisted upon their marriage, and said that he had fallen in love with he- at first sight. After about two months they were married, and later he told her that he did not love her., never did love her.. never intended to love her, and insisted that she should get a divorce from him. The court says: ...Ehe case is a cruel one on its face; in fact, cruel enough to tempt a dis turbance of the Judgment of those who are fathers of daughters. But think we have not yet arrived at a. legal stage which requires an annul- ment of a marriage because one par ty or both parties were untruthfui to each other in their mutual protes- tations of al1-consun1ing and undyings love. Marriage is yet a status on which depends the idea of a family and on which, in turn, has arisen the structure of civilization as we know it-''ANsa

UsE OF CITY STREET = F
PER,

USE OF CITY STREET - PER-
 SONAB INJURY.-TI1is is an action
 for personal injury against Sac City.
 Iowa, resulting from plaintiffs horse
 becoming frightened at a menagerie
 or circus wagon containing a wild an imaI, which was permitted by the city to be exhibited on it's streets. Two
 of the defenses interposed on behalf of the city were that plaintiff, having Knowledge that at the time there was a circus in the city thereby necessaf- fly causing more stir and excitement than usual, assumed the risk of any accident that might esu1t in driving through the streets under those con ; ditfons; and also that the city was not liable, because it was incumbent upon plaintiff, to whom the question as to whether the wild animal in the circus wagon cepstituted a nuisance was just as obvious as it was to the city, to use the same degree of care in passing the obstruction as devolved upon the city in allowing, it in the first instance. AS to the first contention, the Su- prerne Court of Iowa said: tsWe, un- derstand it to be the general rule, and as such applicable to this case, that, if one voluntarily goes into place or is i1 a situation which involves possible danger, the duty required is the exercise of that degree of care which is commensurate withN the sur roundings, and such is in the law or dinary care; a failure to do so amounting to negligence.'' The court continuing answered the second prop osition as follows: saThe degree of care required of plaintiff does not de- pend alone upon the degree of care exercised by the other party, but must be measured by the conditions then shown to have existed, included in which is that a traveller over the streets has the right to rely upon their being kept reasonably safe for travel. This does not mean such a reliance as will excuse him from ex- ercising due and ordinary care, in the light of known and manifest condi- tions; but whether such is done, as applied to the facts in the present case, is a question to be determined by the jury.
