COURT SETS ASIDE
DAMAGE VERDICT
Thousand Dollars Not Enough
For Man Injured in Car Ac-
cident, Murphy Rules

After a jury had awarded $1,000 t.
!, J0seph Sobkowski. Tuesday after
noon. for injuries sustained in q
street car accident, Judge Alfred j.
Murphy set aside the verdict and or
dored q new trial, on the ground
that the amount was too small and
not In accordance with ordinary prin-
clples Of Justice.
Sobkowski was injured when two
Baker cars collided at Twenty-fourth-
II and Dix-ave.. Is months ago.
Physicians testified that his right
arm Is permanently stiffened and two
Inches shorter than the left, as the
result Of the injuries suffered in the
accident. The ID. u. R. contended
& that the plaintiffs arm was over the
railing OF the car and that the COM
Dony was not liable for this reason.
After the Jury returned with its yer.
lIct. Judge Murphy made the follow
ihs Statement. in setting II aside:
~The plaintiff In this case Ii Grip
b1ed for life. Dependent upon man
uo1 labor for his income. his earning
s capacity Is permanently impaired. His
INJURIES have incapacitated him from
work from the time OF the accident.
The money loss alone which he has
already sustained. based upon the
wage he was receiving. Is over $1,000.
20 say nothing OF compensation for
physicaI suffering. for permanent dis
atility. and for decreased earning
power for the rest Of his life.
III the plaintiff Is entitled to re-
cover at all. this verdict does not ac-
cord with justice. The plaintiff should
either be defeated or else awarded
adequate compensation for the dam
osee inflicted

hung above the Adams memorial bust,
with the suggestion that there may
be some connection between the two
works. The connection Is not very
evident. there IL nothing Buddhist
about Saint-Gaudens' work.
There Is also On view exhibition oil
paintings by Francis Petrus Pauius,
who was born In Detroit and hved
here for MANY years, becoming Oh
rector of the School OF Art OF Bruges,
Belgium, In 1905. The exhibit Is IN
teresting above all for the many Pic
lures OF Bruges, Dortrecht and other
towns OF the low countries, as Well
as for many pictures painted III itaiy
There are 20 oils In the collection, Is
pastels and seven etchings IN color.
To reach the Saint-Gandens and
American painters exhibits, one
must pass either through tho cham
Der of horrors where various botches
OF the crucifixion are shown, or
through the Seripps collection. IL is
mildly suggested TO Director Moore
that some of these melancholy, though
doubtless valuable, daubs be relegat-
&c TO the storehouse TO make place
for some OF the really beautiful pic
lures which the museum owns and
cannot exhibit for lack Of space. So
few people look at the .'old masters"

their taste; but these pictures oc-

Readvertising For Bids On Big
Bond Issue Proves Wise
Move

The joint bid of III. Lee Anstey and
LiyiI gston & CO.. of New York, for
Sl,77s,000 city four per cent bonds
at commission or discount Of SAL.
$50 was the best offer that Controller
George Engel received when bids were
opened. Wednesday morning. The
commissions asked by the four other
bidders were as follow: First & Old

Theodore Luce for Estabrook q Co.,
4 Co.. $52.095.f0; National Bank OF
Commerce. Detroit. SAT 400; Matthew
Finn. s6s.314.
The low bid. figuring the amount
Iof commission to be paid. gives an
interest rate on the bonds OF ATS
per cent. Matthew Finn was low
when the first bids were opened some
time ago. lie offered an interest rate
|of i.22. His second bid was the
highest received. Controller Engel
was not satisfied with the first lot OF
mixed bids that he received and asked
permission from the council to re
advertise. arguing that he would like
" De able TO strike a better bar
gain for the city. The aldermen dis
played some hesitancy about read
ver,ising. fearing to impair the credit
of The city by such an unusual pro

ing show that the controller used
good Judgment as well as a knowledge

! Although the charter has been
amended TO provide for an interest
