Court Refuses New Trial
in First Liability Suit
Special to The Telegraph

Altoona, Pa. March 22.-Judge
Thomas ]. Baldrige handed down an
opinion Saturday denying a new trial
in the case of Walter F. Glunt against
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Glunt was recently awarded $4,000
damages for personal injuries on the
railroad at Birmingham, December 4,
1912. He brought suit under the Fed
eral employers liability law, which
was the first case of its kind to be
tried in Blair county. Reviewing the
reasons for a new trial, the court held
that the company's contention that
proceedings should have been entered
under the State law was untenable,
as the railroad was engaged in inter-
state commerce.

unable to resist temptation Saturday
morning when they saw dignihed gen

very happy. He was dressed in new

he swung vigorously as he went along.
He looked so good.natured that the boys
CHANGED few shots az him with their
bean shooters. None Of the shots took
effect.
There seemed to be something familiar
in the appearance Of the dignified gentle
man. Suddenly one of the youngsters
recognized him as the president of the
United States. Ordinarily that would
have been the cue to fee IN fright. But
for a reason that only an expert in boy
psychology may be able TO explain, the
attacking party set up a cheer. Presi-
