Ball Tosser Joins
The Benedicts

George Rustemeyer, one of the
best known base ball pitchers in
this section of the Inland EN-
plre, opened the 1915 season in
proper style with a home run
Tuesday when he was united in
marriage to Miss Mary Moynagh
at the Greencreek Catholic church
that morning by Rev. Father
Baerlocher. The wedding was a
very quiet affair, only a few
friends being present. After the
ceremony the newly married
couple drove to the home of the
brides parents east of Green
creek where they spent the day,
returning that evening to town
to home which the groom had
prepared for his bride in one of
the Winder cottages, where they
are now residing.
The bride is the second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Moy-
nagh, of Greencreek, and is a
young lady of much personal
charm and fine qualities and we'll
worth the winning.
Besides taking a very promi-
nent part in the base ball history
of this part of Idaho for the past
number of years, the groom has
been employed as foreman of the
Chronicle shop for the past eight
or ten years and has grown to
manhood in this county. He is a
sober, industrious young man
who numbers his friends by hun
dreds and if the best wishes of
all the fans" in the country
count for anything his success in
the two-party game will be one
grand continuous circuit of the
bases.

.DO|NCS AT THE
LEGISLATURE
Bill to Enlarge Pocatello A.
cademy Passes Senate---No
Action Taken to Consolidate
Seats of Learning.

u Boise, Feb. 16. -Four bills were
passed by the senate today. A
&mong these was a bill by the
8committee on education to en-
large the scope of the Academy
of Idaho. This measure had been
deferred for severaldays to allow
Senator Thomas and others to
prepare a measure to consolidate
into two institutions the Lewis
ton Normal school with the state
university and the Albion Normal
with the academy.
Senator Thomas announced to-
day that he found that other
members who had appeared to
favor this plan were not interest
ed enough to aid in its presenta-
ton and for that reason he was
willing to give the matter up for
the present. The bill was then
passed with some debate by % to
9. ., Those voting against the
measure were Bundy, Carter,
Frazier, Hutton, Lenz, Macbeth,
Sweet and Zuck. The bill now
goes to the house.
An important bill passed the
senate which gives the purchas-
ers of state lands 40 years in
which to pay for them instead of
18 as heretofore. 1t was argued
that the state must have the
money on interest anyway and
the purchaser might as well have
the benefit. The state could not
lose, since their security increases
in value all the time.
Other measures passed were:
is. B. No. 80, authorizing a $780,
1000 bond issue for the purpose of
aiding in the control of the waters
Sof the south fork of the Snake
river, and H. B. No. 100, amend
ing the Benewah county bill to
provide for the maintenance of
joint school and highway dis
tricts.
Under suspended rules on the
representation that there were
fully 500 cases for the district
court of the fifth judicial district
to handle, the senate passed H.
B. No. 107, authorizing the ap-
pointment of another judge in
that district.
Passed by the Senate
H. B. No. 1913, extending time
of payments on timber lands.
S. B. No. 67, making the Acad-
emy Of Idaho a junior college
with the name Idaho Technical
Institute, and broadening the
charter to include a college course
to give not more than the first
two years of university work,
S. B. No. 80, authorizing $780,.
600 bond issue for improvements
along the bank of the South fork
of the Snake river.
S. B. No. 55, consolidating Of
fees of banking commissioner
and insurance commissioner.
S. B. No. 6, amending the state
highway law.
H. B. No. 107, providing an
other judge for the fifth judicia
district.

FREIGHT RATE GOVERNS
LIABILITY, SAYS JUSTICE
Decides Shipper Cannot Recover in
Excess of Valuation Assumed
by Railroad.

Justice Siddons Of the Supreme Court Of
the District of Columbia, presiding in the
case of Rosari Prestia against the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington Rail-
road Company, has decided that since the
creation Of the interstate commerce conf
mission. shippers are bound to take notice
Of the rates paid on shipment, and that in
case of any loss sustained In transit the
shipper cannot recover in excess of the
limited liability of the railroad company
as determined by the rate paid.
In the case named the plaintiff had
shipped his household furniture and work
ing tools from Brooklyn to this city and
paid freight charges at the rate Of 81
cents per hundred pounds.
In transit sixty pounds of the goods
were lost and the plaintiff filed suit for
the full value Of the missing articles
The rate paid was the lower rate on
schedule of rates which had been hled
with and approved by the interstate
commerce commission the liability OF
the railroad company was limited to
$40 per hundred pounds.
Following a decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States Justice Sid
rdons held that the shipper was con-
clusively presumed to know that the
and that in case of loss the company
would be liable only on the basis Of
SO per hundred pounds. He awarded
judgment against the company for $6
instead of the value of the goods. This
is the first decision by the courts of
the District definitely determining the
liability of common carriers for mer-
chandise lost in transit. The attorneys
in the case were Mark Stearman for
the plaintiff and G. B. Craighill and
w. c. Carpenter for the company.
