PAPERS SHOW ROTTEN ACTION
OF r. r. co. AGAINST GIRL


New York, Oct. 27.-Att'y Ben
ianin- Oppenheim announced today
that he had fled suit for 100000
damages against>~the Metropolitan
Street Railway Co.
Back of the announcement lies an
amazing story of how for IS years
the street railway company sought
by legal tricks and the bribery of wit
nesses to avoid the payment of a
Judgment for $4,000 to a little girl
they had crippled for life. The plot
reached its climax in the company's
agents securing the disbarment of
Oppenheim, the girls lawyer.
After II years struggle Open
helm has secured his reinstatement
at the bar and also a court order
directing the company to pay Harriet
Nugent, his crippled client, the $4,000
with accumulated interest, a total of
$4,000.
But the company is now bankrupt
and in the hands Of a receiver, Dou-
glas Robinson, who has refused to
pay the $4,000 to Miss Nugent.
Miss Nugent was struck by a street
car when she was 8 years old, and,
as a consequence, one Of her legs
was amputated. She is an orphan
and was recently found by a police
man in BrOoklUn street delirious
from hunger and. exposure. For 16
days she had been hObbling around
the streets in a vain hunt for work
sleeping in doorways, penniless and
without food.
The girl was taken to a hospital
and after she was revived told her
story. After the verdict was given
against them the company sent it's
agents out to get the witnesses to
change their testimony. The mother
of one girl witness was paid $3.50.

HUERTA'S TWO MISTAKES
Dictator Remembers With Regret Time
Villa Pleaded For Life.
ITO be Continued).

Huerta is the flower of the Mexican
on occasion, in the United States. HUI
erta is brave. Huerta is masterful. But
even Huerta has never betrayed pos
session of high ideals nor wide social
vision.
And Huerta has made mistakes. Two
of these mistakes to be mentioned in
passing, but which are not opposite to
the contention Of this article, are %
his not killing Zapata when he had the
chance; (2) rs very grievous error in
not killing Villa the time he had him
backed up against wall facing a firing
squad. 1t was on this latter occasion
that he compelled Villa, on his knees,
arms clasped about Huertas legs, to
beg Huerta for his life. Villa has not
forgotten that little episode. And it is
fair to assume that sometimes the
memory of these two mistakes fits re-
gretfully through Huerta's mind as he
sips a drink at the country club and
cOntemplates Villa moving irresistibly
down on him from the north; both his
coasts blockaded by American war
ships and all arms and war munitions
embargoed; Zapata at his back to the
south and west like hungry tiger; his
credit exhausted, but a small portion
Of his own country left in his hands,
and his own people in his capital city

ters. l should not like to be Villa or

no hat. On my back was a pack
made from woven lining bark of the
cedar, in which l carried various i'm
plements from the forest.
1 had a rude bow and arrows, and
a crude knife made from the horn
of a deer dangled at my waist.
1t was thus that l entered the lit
tie French Canadian town of Megan-
tic-back to the civilized world.

dreamed of, and 1 was very happy,
for it proved to me at that time that
the people were really interested
However. as the hours went on l be-
gan to realize that they considered
that 1 had done a wonderful thing.
1t was because of this impression,
which seems TO have taken hold of
many people since my return, that /
will begin this narrative by saying
that it was not wonderful. Above all
else l want to emphasize that my liv-
ing alone in the wilderness for two
months without clothing, food or inn
plements of any kind was not Won
derful thing. 1t was an interesting
thing. but it was not wonderful.
ANY man Of fair health could do the
same thing provided he meant bust
ness and kept his head. But to the
best of my knowledge no other man
i'm the history of civilization ever did
what did.
The idea of this experiment came to
me about q y.ar ago while | was
spending few weeks at Bradford
VT. At the time / was painting pic
lures of outdoor life in a little log
cabin on what is known in that To-
cality as Saddleback mountain. | was
painting a moose, and as | added q
touch of color to the canvas | began
to wonder how many people would
notice that particular bit of color
which from standpoint of faithful
portrayal was as important as the eye
of the creature itself.
From this thought my mind wan

people of the present time We're sad

| disrobed and started for the wilds,
leaving my clothes behind and taking
absolutely nothing with me.
Now. just a few words about my
self l had travelled nearly all over the
world. Later / entered the United
States navy, where | served enlist
ments for a number of years After
that, / decided ! would like to try
sailing on the fresh water lakes. So
left the coast and sailed on the
great lakes for another twelve
months.
1t was while I was in that country
that 1 became acquainted with tribes
of Sioux and Chippewa Indians. They
were scattered all along the west
coast of Michigan. l gave up the
sailing and went among them. That
year l went back into the mountains
and hunted and trapped with them.
OF course 1 picked UP valuable knowl-
edge about the woods under these
conditions.
To go back to the beginning Of my
life in the wilderness, heavy skies
and a steady drizzle of rain greeted
me on the morning of August 4, when
| awoke in the King and Bartlett
camps However, the weather didn't
bother me.
The sportsmen and professional
men who were interested in my de-
parture joked with me and laughingly
said that they would see me back
again that night. Shortly after 9
o'clock we all left the camps for the
opposite side of King and Bartlett

had to get my fire through fric-
ton, caused by whirling the spindle
on the pine base by saving back and
forth with my crude fire bow.
In vain I hunted in every crevice
and log for dry punk. Everything
was soaked through. l then saw the
absolute foolishness of it all and
straightway gave up the task.
1t was now dark, and here I was in
this spruce thicket without food or
fire, naked and miles from a camp.
I made up my mind that I would
stay out one night anyway, even If I
went back and called the stunt off
early in the morning.
l found a place where could walk
back and forth bit to keep warm, so
1 started in. With the darkness the
air grew colder. The rain continued
til l was tired and breathing heavily;
then l would stop for moment to
rest, sitting down on the wet ground
with my back against a tree. or
course / couldn't sit there very long
without catching cold, so after lit
tie 1 would get up and begin walking
again.
1 must have run miles that night
in that little space in the spruce
thicket. 1 would stop to rest, only to
start walking again.
1t must have been early the next
morning, about o'clock, I guess,
when it began to get very cold. The
rain had stopped. I increased my
pace back and forth. Thus running
and resting 1 spent the first night
alone in the wilderness.
Daylight came very slowly, but
with it l was on the move.
Not a thought had 1 given to food
since I entered the forest. 1 wasn't
hungry.
l struck a natural game trail and
followed it along, not knowing where
was going.
Presently it began to rain again,
and, while / got used to 1t later, L
did not welcome it just then. My
thoughts were the same jumbled
thoughts Of the day before.
AS 1 roamed along my resolve to
leave the forest and call the expert
ment off did not figure particularly
in the mornings mood. I somehow
didn't care where I was going, and
did not feel the cold to any great
degree.
At last I reached Lost pond. I had
never seen it before, although years
ago 1 had been well acquainted with
the country thereabouts and knew
this must be it. 1t looked very small
to me, and for a moment I wondered
If it really were Lost pond.
1t helped to break the monotony of
that dark, rainy day.
I never knew what I went to that
pond for, but l think there is some
thing that draws a man or an animal
to a place of relief in the woods-any
opening. any sheet of water or spring
or anything that is different from the
miles and miles of trees which become
so tiresOme.

The Birth of an Idea.

On the Saturday afternoon of Oc-
tober, 4, 1913. just at the time when
sunshine marked the end of two days
heavy rain, 1 emerged from the Can
adian forest on the shores of Lake
Megantic, having lived the life of a
primitive man for two months in the
wilderness of northern Maine.
1 was tanned to the color of an In

with deerskin thongs. My legs were

feet 1 wore moccasins of buckskin,
