Court.
BEFORE JUDGE FULLER

Sherman Hager In Suit for
$500 Dsmag,s.

Court opened this morning for the
trial OF civil causes before Judge Roy
al P. Tuller.
Judge Tuller called the list of causes
to ascertain if any were ready for
trial.
Case No. 2, in the Common Pleas
list, Captain Silas Robinson, Jr.,
against Captain Sherman Hager, was
taken up for trial. 1t is suit for
$500 for damages against the boat of
Captain Robinson A jury was en-
panelled. Devoe Tomlinson appeared
for the plaintiff and Leroy w. Loder
tor the defendant.
1t appears that the boats of Captain
Robinson and Captain Hager got in
collision in Dividing Greek, while car
rying tomatoes last fall, 1t was
claimed that Captain Robinson's boat
was damaged considerably by Captain
Hager's boat. The collision occurred
September 10th last
| The defence was an utter denial of
the facts stated, asserting that the
damage complaiLed of so on Captain
Robinson's boat had already existed
| for quite awhile, also that the collision
was unavoidable, because OF the negli-
gence of Captain Robinson laying his
boat in the dangerous position she
was. The boats came in collision
when Captain Hager was winding his
boat in the creek.
| Ephraim Candy was the first wit
ness called, and he testified that hS
did not see the collision, but he heard
the crash and saw the boat of Cap
tain Robinson after the collision. He
said the main mast Of the boat was
split, the top-mast carried away and
the bowsprit broken. The boat was

tain Hager's boat coming up the creek
and remarked to his son standing by,
That mans going to hit Captain Rob
inson's boat" He said there was
plenty of room for the Hager boat to
pass. The collision occurred, as he
had predicted. He heard the crash,
saw the topmast bend over, and saw
the mast bend, saw the bowsprit was
broken. The accident, he said, was
-aused by ignorauce.
David Veale gave similar evidence,
but was more emphatic in his descrip-
tion of the collision, and the items of
injury to the boat,
Grover Candy, Levi Loper and
Frank Cozier gave testimony. Cozier
testified that the mast was split be-
low the deck, tie top-mast was broken
off, and the end of the bowsprit was
broken OFF. &s-
Captain Silas Robinson, Jr., sworn,
testified that on Sept 10th last, his

Antis Are SIN Hopeful.

While the suffrage leaders are openly
making their claims the antls have not
given up hope OF preventing action on
any resolution, should one lie reported by
the committee.
They point out the situation is identi-
cal with that in San Francisco two years
ago. when the resolutions committee. COM
posed OF the same women and operating
under the same rules. smothered the suf-
fraRe resolution.
This argument Is answered by their
opponents by saying that political
science department has been ORGANIZED
and therefore the question Is proper
one for consideration.
Leaders on both sides freely admitted
tonight that the developments over suf-
frage had cast shadow over the politics
OF the federation. Further complications
are seen In the possibility of a serious
break In the federation and the formation
OF another organization as the result OF
the strife.
TfHHpiticai angle IL that the presi-
dency6f the general federation may hinge
on the suffrage question.
Mrs Percy V. Pennybacker's reelec-
ton up to this time has been conceded
by reason OF an unwritten law that a
president should serve two terms. Her
position has been neutral on suffrage
This has been the cause OF much criti-
cism on the part OF the suffragists and
there was talk around the State head
quarters tonight OF putting up candi-
date In opposition to the Texas woman.
The split In the federation is also
threatened over the question of admitting
political clubs to direct membership ir
the general organization.
