output to 6S5, 900 cases in 1914; that

CLAIMS IDEA FOR
MORRIS PLAN BANKS
supreme Court Grants Appeal Asked
BY David Stein In Complicated
Case.

The Virginia State Supreme Court
OF Appeals upset verdicts OF the Low or
court in three appeals yesterday.
In the case OF Easter Houston, who
sued the Lynchburg Light and Trac-
ton Company for damages in the
sum OF 1900 for injuries claimed
to have been sustained by the ap-
pellant while she was attempting to
alight from an open street car, the
court reversed the decision OF the Cir
cult Court Of Lynchburg. The YER
dict in favor of the street car COM
pany was handed down in May.
The court granted a writ OF error
and supersedeas in the litigation of
the city of Portsmouth vs. Ellis B,
Jobson. an employe Of the municipal
ity. which was heard In the Hastings
Court OF that city last April. job
son was injured by q falling tree.
which he was engaged in cutting
down, and sued city Of Portsmouth

son . verdict OF $4,000 and the Sec

The court allowed the appeal Of
tho Universal Savings Company and

dustriAl Savings Financial Corpora
ton and Arthur J. Morris. which was
an appeal from the verdict of the
Chancery Court Of case in equity
last July. Bond OF $500 was re-
qutred OF the appellants.

In the case comprise volume as
large as Mr.. Webster's Dictionary,
Mr. Stein sued the Morris plan sys-
tenn Of banks-which are generally
distributed In the larger cities OF the
country-on the ground that the

his own invention and that the gen.
tiemen behind the Morris system
robbed him of the idea. One OF
the Morris plan" loan banks--the

pany---is located in Richmond.

Estimates OF casualties suffered by

and prisoners. in proportion to the an

fall most heavily on France, next on
Russia. then Austria. Russia has stood
stupendous losses and In this conneo-
ton 1t must be remembered that out
OF Russia's total population OF 174,-
900. 900 probably not more than two
thirds OF 1t is actually available for
drawing personnel for the army. On
the other hand. Germany appears to
have MORE than made up its losses
to the end Of the first year OF war
by its annual contingent. Though
Germany's casualties in battle have
been large Its losses In prisoners have
been comparatively small In fact,
few Germans have been taken pris-
oners. Most of the French and Aus
TRANS taken prisoners were captured
during the first few months Of the
war. On The other hand. the rate OF
loss in prisoners by the Russians has
been on the increase. Insofar as per-
shows a decided weakness. The only
source OF large accessions 10 from its
ally. England, which still depends
upon voluntary system for recruit

portion to her total arms-bea ring pop

total OF 1900 900 available males n

ton OF casualties to the number OF
men actually engaged In the
war has been exceedingly Large, be-

not more than 100000 men on the
