No Personal Injury Litigation

No PERSONAL INJURY
The company in its dealings with
personal injuries has very largely an
~ticipated the workmen's compensa-
ton acts, which were later enacted
in both Illinois and Iowa, and practi-
cally no personal injury litigation
has resulted. The company has
striven to cooperate with the various
federal, state, county and municipal
officers, and has endeavored to treat
them in a spirit Of fairness, each rec
ognizing the rights Of the other and
on the whole, a very satisfactory
feeling has existed between all parties
with whom the company has had deal
ings.

Early Injunction Proceedings.
One of the cases which was brought
at an early day was the Injunction
proceedings in a sort Of a triple pro-
ceedure-a triple alliance, as it were
known as the Miller, Steingraber
and LOOMS cases. These proceed
ings were brought in the Hancock
county circuit court, and from there
wendell their way to the federal
court at Springfield, Illinois, where a
Master in Chancery was appointed to
hear testimony and make a report.
This set of cases involved the valua-
ton Of three large tracts of land
above Fort Madison. After the TAX
ing of much testimony pro and con,

less been somewhat ~roseate, and an
adjustment of these cases was made
at a price satisfactory to the Power
company.
Some commended that the right to
exercise the power Of eminent domain
a. essential to the life of the enter
prise and there were two cases instl-
tuted for the purpose OF testing this
right.
Noted "HagerIa Case"
One case was what was known as
the celebrated "Hagerla CASE which
involved the right to overflow a
tract of land containing 220 acres
near the mouth of Skunk river. The
case was closely contested and eager
ly followed until it was finally decid-
ed by Judge Smith Mcpherson Of the
federal court at Keokuk, Iowa, in an
exhaustive, learned opinion. Judge
Mcpherson held that the company
had the right to exercise the power of
eminent domain under the Iowa law.
In the preparation of this opinion.
Judge Mcpherson read and examined
thousands of pages of legal works
and in some instances where the ci-
and cases in the law books did
disclose all OF the record that
Judge Mcpherson desired for the pur-
pose of weighing fully the opinion be-
ing examined. he t~elegraphed and Sc
cured the complete record in order
that he might fully examine all of the
facts that were before the judge who
rendered the decision which was be-
ing considered by him. This opinion
was deemed of so much Importance
that it was printed as a senate docu-
ment and was widely circulated
throughout the country.

In United States Courts.

Similar cases involving similar
questions were before at least three
other federal courts in various parts
of the United States at the same
time; and each court was considering
the question independently OF the
other. and without knowledge that the
same question or similar questions
were in issue in the various other
courts, and when the various op1n-
ions were announced they were all in
one accord, and supported the logic
of Judge McPherson's opinion in the
"Hagerla case"
The right to condemn under the
federal law was established in the
federal court at Springfield. ILL.,, be-
fore Judge J.. Otis Humphrey. in
what is known as the "Everingham
case" which involved the condemna-
ton of an island containing $50 acres
opposite Fort Madison, Iowa.
At one time 1t looked as though
the Power company would become in
volyed In serious litigation with the
Keokuk Water Works company,
which is a subsidiary corporation be-
longing to the American Water
Works and Guarantee company,
which latter company cont oils and
operates some forty odd water works
IN a like number Of cities situated in
various parts of the United States.

Water Works Case.

The question in this litigation was
as to the right to raise the Burling-
TON railroad tracks in front of the
property Of the Keokuk Water Works
company at Keokuk, Iowa. After q
hearing had progressed for several
days. the vice president OF the Water
works company entered the court
room one morning and called MI.
Cooper the chief engineer of the Mis-
sissippf River Power company, aside
and told him that his people at
pittsburgh had authorized him to arb1-
trate the question, and that If they
could not agree upon an arbitrator.
that he was authorized to leave the
entire question with Mr.. Cooper TOT
adjudication and adjustment As a
result of this friendly overture, the
narties quickly agreed upon John W,
AIvord. an eminent engineer of h
c.eo who arbitrated the questions at
issue to the entire satisfaction OF
both parties litigant.

Would Increase Gold Supply,

Washington. Oct. 14.-Decrease in
the worlds gold production is reach
ing such point that note of warm
ing has been sounded in no uncertain
terms in the United States senate by
Thomas j. Walsh. the junior member
from Montana. That this condition
will be aggravated greatly by the
closing of silver mines was brought
out clearly by Mr.. Walsh.
1t is of vital Importance that the
gold production of the United States
be increased as was shown in a letter
from the secretary of the American
Mining congress, which Senator
Walsh used in connection with his re-
marks. While it is the consensus of
opinion that every effort should be
made first to increase the gold yield
through scientific research and in
vestigation, no effort was made to
avoid bringing out the possibility of
the need for providing for a bounty

Railroads Want More Revenue,

Washington, Oct. 19.-Urging that
b~ siness depression and the war in
Europe had caused a shrinkage of
more than $76O.O0O,OO0 in their annual
net revenues, representatives of 80
eastern railroads, operating over 59,-
900 miles of transportation lines, ap-
peared to day before the Interstate
Commerce commission, asking that
they be granted at least per cent
increase in freight rates.
Daniel E. Willard. president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and also
head of the conference of presidents
OF the lines involved, was the princi-
pal witness. He was supported by
mass of statistics presented by Vice
President Shriver of the same line,
acting for all the roads.

tain was unable to raise more than
100000 troops, says:
I'VE have at the present moment
exactly double tina. Lumber and the
number grows almost faster than we
can cope with. This is only the be
ginning.
ut is our way, as we'll as that of
America, to begin to raise our army
after the war breaks out and to 20 on
raising them until our ultimate ends
are accomplished. With 1900, 900 men
at home, the army in the field and the
hundreds of thousands forming in In.
dia, Canada, Australia and elsewhere
are merely the nucleus upon which 9TH
er armier will eventually be built.

stands to reason than an empire Of

Anti-German Riots.

London, Oct. 1S.-Anti-German riot
ing in London last night caused the
destruction of score of shops. Dam
age was done in the Deptford borough
and in Old Kent road. In the former
district, several stores were attacked
and one was set afire.
Great excitement prevailed through
out Sunday in Deptford and neighbor-
ing boroughs. Crowds thronged the
streets and refused to move at the or
ders of the police and soldiers. The
rioting threatened to attack German
places in Bromley and other boroughs
if the authorities permitted them to
open.
The rioting was led by 100 dock la
borers who had to make room for Bel
lodging house to make room for Bel
gian refugees. The men gathered in
a German saloon and smashed the
windows and the bar. The dockers
charged the owner of the saloon with
having started report that two Brit
ish battleships had been destroyed.
The shop of German butcher in the
window of which picture of Emper-
or William was displayed, was wreck.
ed.
The rioting proceeded for distance
of about mile before it was stopped
by a detachment of soldiers. The
all lived above their plac-
es of business and their apartments
were sacked.

British Cruiser Sunk

London, Oct. 16.-Another thrust
from the German submarine service
has robbed the British navy of the
cruiser Hawke and has raised the tai
ly of the list of ships sunk by the Ger
mans to seven. To this must be added
the virtual destruction of the cruiser
Pegasus by a German warship at
Zanz ibar.
The Hawke, a cruiser of 1850 tons
under command of Captain Hugh Will
liams, was sunk yesterday in the
North sea, the graveyard of six other
warships, victims of German tor
pedoes. 1t was only bad aim on the
part of the German gunner that saved
the Hawkes. sister ship the Theseus,
for that vessel, too, was attacked. but
she escaped.
The cruisers Amphion, Pathfinder,
Aboukir, Cressy, Hogue. Pegasus and
Hawke and the torpedo gunboat
Speedy make up the British formid-
able list of losses in war ships in the
first ten weeks of the war; Against
this, the British admiralty claims four
German cruisers, two torpedo boat
destroyers, one torpedo boat, three
submarines and eight armed COM
merce destroyers.

GETTING NEAR ENGLAND
Scene Of War Shifts To French Coast
OF Dover Straits.

London, Oct. 17.-Each day brings
the war nearer home to England. To-
day there was naval battle off the
Dutch coast, in which a British cruis-
er and four destroyers sank four Ger
man destroyers, while on land the
German troops reached the coast of
Belgium, less than 25 miles from
Dover. They are about to attempt a
march southwark to Dunkirk and
Calais. even closer to the English
coast.
According to the French official
communication. issued this afternoon,
the Germans have not advanced be-
yond the line running from Ostend to
Thorout, Rouleos and Menin. The last
mentioned place is just on the border
north of Lille, which the Germans oc-
cupied some days ago, but which, ac-
cording to an unconfirmed report,
they had been compelled to abandon.
The fighting has only begun in this
district, however. for the Germans,
who would consider it great success
to reach the coast of France, have
brought up strong reinforcements and
will strive with all their might to
achieve this object.
Their official report, issued this at
ternoon, says no events of Importance
have happened, but as they await inn
portant victories before making any
this does not mean
there has been no fighting.
The allies also can bring up rein
forcements both by sea and land, and
have been doing so, which makes it
certain that great battle must be
fought before either side gives ground,
The allies will be assisted by the Brit
ish ships when the fighting reaches
point near the coast.
Along the center. which now stretch.
es from Roye to the Meuse, there ap-
pears to have been lull in the fight
ing. which means, of course, that all
have gained ground.

May Lease Alaska Coal Lands.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Given up as
dead legislation less than a week ago,
the Alaska coal land leasing bill, re-
vived at the instance of President
Wilson and Secretary Lane as part of
the administrator program of this
session, awaits only the presidents
signature to become a law. 1t went
through its final ordeal in the house
today, virtually without opposition.
The bill is designed to throw open
to system of leases, under competi-
tive bidding, the immense coal resour-
ces of Alaska, tied up for the last
eight years, and pending claims will
be adjudicated within year.

Not Prepared For War.

Washington, Oct. 15.--Inquiry into
the preparedness of the United States
for war, offensive. or defensive, by a
national security commission was pro-
posed in a Joint resolution introduced
in the house today by Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts who recent.
ly returned from the war zone in Eu-
rope.
II have introduced this resolution
to investigate the military status of
the United States," said Mr.. Gardner
in statement, accompanying the res
olution, because | know that pub
lie search will open the eyes of Amer
lea to situation which is being con-
cealed from them. The United States
is totally unprepared tor war. de-
fensive or offensive against a real
power. In my opinion the effect OF
the vast sums of money spent by Car
negie in his peace propaganda was to
blind Americans to the fact that our
national security from a military point
of view is undermined.
