CASE OF LEVIN VS.. KOPPIN
Judge Van Zile Declared To Have
Given Jury Improper
Instruction

Another decision of the supreme
court of Michigan fixing the extent OF
liability OF automobile owners who fig-
ure in accidents, Is attracting the at
tention OF judges and lawyers OF De
troit The decision, written by JUS
tice Kuhn, reverses the verdict OF a
jury which declared In Judge Van
Zile's court, several months ago, that
there was no cause for action In the
case of William NJ Levyn, ct al. VS..
Henry 8. Koppin. The plaintiffs were
injured In an accident In the down
town section Of Detroit when they
were struck by an automobile driven
by Koppin, well-known contractor
The case was reversed because
Judge Van Zile did not charge the jury
that any violation OF the statute gov
erning automobile traffic is negligence
per Sc, OF negligence In itself. There
has been much speculation among at
torneys as TO whether a person Is neg
ligent II he drives prudently and with
precaution, although technically vio-
lating the statute; or whether any
violation whatever OF the automobile
law constitutes negligence in itself.
In the Koppin trial. Judge Van Zile
instructed the jury that II II found
that Koppin had used ordinary care,
prudence and precaution In driving,
this should be construed as an ele-
ment in his favor. The court did not
instruct the Jury that a violation OF
the statute was negligence per Sc.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 6.-The positive

was made today in an official report
received from Sarikamysh. The en-
tire Turkish army is in disgraceful
retreat, the troops abandoning equip

number OF instances even their regi-

the reports emphasize the extent OF
the Russian victory. II is declared
that already the prisoners number
more than $4,000 men, and that a
number OF divisions are now sur
rounded and must surrender or be ex-
terminated.

The entire Turkish positions at Sari-

sent TO follow up the victory and not
to permit the Turks to reform their
shattered lines.
The Russian advance into Hungary
is also stated TO continue practically
unopposed. Only slow progress is be-

Russian commanding general to have

LANSING, Mich. Jan. e.--Lisut.-
Gov. Loren d. Dickinson voiced

The fairyland about Cortiua is fG. miliar 10 thousands of tourists as "Thc Do!omitcs." DolOmite, a rock com pounded of carbonate of lime and caf- bonate of magnesia, takes its name from the French geologist Deodat de Gratet, Marquis de Dolomieu, who spent his time in 17S0 and the follow. ing years, while his corntrymen were busy with revolution and war. in visit ing this and other Alpine districts. He first mentions this kind of rock ln 1T01, and the word "Dolomite" first occurs in a pamphlet of 1892 describ- irg q tour of his in the Alps about tho St. Gothard and the Simplon. The curious point, noted by Mir. Coolidge. is that the marquis seems to have paid no attention to the dolomitc rocku in the neighhorhood of his own home, nolomieu, near Grenoble. - London Mirror.

Holland and He 'rinus.

To the sea the Dutch owe most di their wealth. The art of curing aGr rng was discovered by poor Duttt. hSherman.

SuCh Il trade resulted that it was said that "Amster- Can is built on herring boncs." ssv- cral hundred years after the death of Eeukels the en.cr0r, Charles N., wcnr to the tomb uf the fisherman and there ate Il herring in gratitude for the in- vcntion. And in church in Bieryllet today may Ee seen d stained glars win dow in honor of this man. Herring have been orc of the chief means of trade to the Hollanders, so that even at the present day the first catch is taken to the royal palace in Il coach and six.
 The fact that the two dominant po- litical parties of Holland for hundreds of years were called the Gods" ar,, tho "Fishhooks" shows that maritime matters were the uppcrmost in the peo- ple's thoughts.-EXt hange.

The Rise of Newfoundland.

Newfoundland has had n curious his tory. Cabot. sailing from Bristol, dis covered it in 1497, and in 1883 Sir Hum phrey Gilbert annexed its wild and rocky shores for Queen Elizabeth. Yet until 130 years ago it was illegal to build q permanent house there. Tho island was held by merchant adven- turers" for the sake of the fisheries. They hired their fishermen in England. took them across the Atlantic each spring and brought them back at thr commencement of winter.
 Newfoundland's importance in the cod fishery arises to Il great extent from the fact that it is only within her waters that the small fish desirable as bait can be obtained in the necessar! quantities.-London Telegraph.
