100000 Suit Against Arizona
Smelling Co. Dismissed Wednesday

Boston. April by a majority opinion
In the United States court of appeals, the
suit of Charles S. Hinchman of Phila-
iielphia against the Consolidated Arizona
Smelling Co. to recover 100000 alleged to
be due on the purchase price of the Blue
Bell Mines, was dismissed today.
Judges Dodge and Brown held that the
$4,000 was not part of the purchase
price, but was an amount agreed upon
between parties previous to bankruptcy
proceedings and was expected to be col
lected from the net profits of the mines.
Judge Aldrich in a dissenting opinion
claimed that the 100000 was part of the

The suit grew out of an agreement be-
tween John l. Elliott of New York and
the company in 1906, in which the latter
paid 500, 600 down and agreed to pay %
per cent of the net profits until the
amount reached 100000. The original
smelling company became bankrupt and
a new company of the same name pur-
chased the property for 100000
Hinehmans claim that the new COM
pany assumed the obligations of the old
formed the basis of the suit which the
court dismissed.

LOADED GAR IS
BADLY WRECKED
Four Women Passengers in
Nickel Service Machine
When It OvertUrns.

Mrs L. C. Riley, Of 7O5 North Flor
ence street. was painfully but not seri-
ousIy injured shortly after 6 o'clock
Tuesday night. when a nickel service
automobile. in which she and several
bther passengers were riding. over
turned near the corner OF Montana and
Noble streets.
The car. which is a Ford, and was
driven by II. NJ. Keefer, was running
west on Montana street. According to
occupants Of the car, the driver was
making change when a male passen-
ger, riding on the running board,
shouted that the car was running into
the curb The driver quickly turned
the steering wheel and in so doing
turned the car half around, they say.
The momentum OF the machine car
ried il over on its side and the Occu-
pants were tumbled in a heap on the
paving.
Mrs. Riley, occupying the back seat
apparently fell upon her arm, which
was injured, and she sustained bruises
upon her body. With her on the back
seat was Mrs. +. A. Hughes, of COZ Rio
Grande, and Mrs. j. A. Frazier, who re-
sides at the Wright apartments. Mrs.
Thomas QuiEley. of SOC Montana, sat
in front with the driver and an UNI
known man stood on the running
board. Mrs Quigley's arm was slightly
bruised
Woman Taken to Farrar Home.
The driver and several bystanders
assisted the women in getting from I'M
der the wrecked machine and Mrs. Ri
ley was carried to the home of B. +.
Farrar, 1927 Montana street, where she
was attended by physician and later
removed to the home Of a relative.
Passengers stated that the car was not
moving at a high rate of speed, which
probably accounts for the fact that nc
one was seriously injured.
The car carried the license number
1713. which is given at the county
clerks office as being the property Of
a. L. Pierce, BIO Bliss street, but Mr.
Pierce says he sold the car to man
named Fl. NJ Keefer who has recently
moved here and who was planning to
run the car as a nickel service machine.
He told Mr.. Pierce Wednesday morning,
following the accident, that he was
running on Montana street when he no
ticed his lights burning dimly. He
started to turn into the side of the
street to stop and regulate the lamps
when a man who was riding on the
running board grabbed the wheel and
turned it sharply, turning the car over,
the driver said.
The windshield was broken and glass
scattered over the street The left rear
wheel was smashed and the top broken
when the car turned over.

Congressman Witherspoon, of

of his salary, representing four
days during which he was absent
from his seat in congress and
away on private business.
There is a law some where i'm

says a member of congress shall
not draw pay for the days he is
not attending to his official busi-
ness.
Like many another law in the
nations, states, and municipali-

Benefits From War
For the United States
(From the London Statist. J

The war in Europe will proba-
bly, bring economic advantages
to the United States. 1t will
cradle it to sell it's great crops
in places which will give a much
greater income than if there
was no war.
Almost every industry will
derive more or less advantage.
American investors and bankers
should get in much profit from
the ability to buy back from Eu-
rope great quantities of securl-
ties at attractive prices in pay
ment for the food stuffs and
raw material exported from the
United States.
The United States can become,
as it has this week, the world S
greatest market for capital, ano
if the American people rise tc
their opportunity they can do
great deal to mitigate the dis
astrous economic consequences
which would otherwise result in
many countries from a great
European war.
1t is obvious that for the time
being the money markets of Eu-
rope will be closed to the de-
mands for new capital of Cana
da, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico
and other countries, and al
such a time the prestige of the
United States would be imme-
diately enhanced if it were tc
take the place of Europe ane
meet the pressing needs of those
borrowing countries.
1t is possible that the United
States may participate in the
great leans that will have to be
raised in Europe if almost the
whole continent becomes en-
gagged in war. Possibly the par
ticipation will be indirect rather
than direct.
For the United States to gair
benefit from the position as the
wealthiest nation in the world,
it is essential that American in.
yesters should not only have
confidence in the future of their
own country, but also believe
that, war or no war, the worlC
will continue to progress.
In brief, a great war in Eu-
rope will give the United States
an opportunity of assuming the
post of world banker, by supply.
plying capital freely to countries
and individuals in all parts OF
the globe who need it and car
provide the required security.
Should the American people
take advantage of the COLDER
opportunity afforded them by
the outbreak of war, it viii
mean not diminished but in.
creased prosperity for the United
States.
