Distinguished Men Plead
For National Rally to
Insure Defense Measure

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.--Former Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft, the governors
of twenty-one States. three former
American ambassadors. and twenty six
other Americans prominent as educa-
tors. financiers. and politicians are
agreed that preparedness should be the
paramount issue before Congress and
that the policy OF the Government
should not become party issue. Their
opinions were gathered and published
today in q symposium by the New York
World.
Colonel Roosevelt, though emphatic
in his statement that party lines should
be forgotten in the consideration OF pre-
paredness, was just as emphatic in de-
nouncing as mot even half measures"
the plans which President Wilson. Sec
retary of War Garrison, and Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels are to submit TO
Congress.
Il think that both Republicans and
Democrats as we'll as Progress1ves
should put aside partisanship in the
matter and that Congress should reject
the utterly inadequate measures, not
even half measures, set forth In the
Presidents Manhattan Club speech,
said Roosevelt.
Among the governors quoted were
James Witfeycomo, Oregon; Ferris
Michigan; Hunt, Arizona; Cap!er.
Kansas; Hammond, Minnesota; Colds
borough. Maryland. and Walsh, Massa'

CAR COMPANY LOSES
DAMAGE SUIT APPEAL
Judgment for W. A. Morgan for
Alleged Assault by Motor
man Is Approved. ....

The judgment for $1,000 damages given
William A. Morgan against the Capital
Traction Company in his suit for dam
ages arising out of an alleged assault
by motorman, who, he asserted,
dragged him to the front" of a crowd
ed car in which he was a passenger,
was affirmed today by the District
Court Of Appeals.
In an opinion written by Associate
Justice Robb the rights of passengers
on crowded street cars are defined as
follows: The defendant, having taken
on more than 1t could seat, a by no
means uncommon occurrence, had no
right to move those passengers about
as pawns on a chess board. In other
words, the plaintiff had a right to as
sumo a position in the aisle and remain
there, unless by so doing he prevented
other passengers from passing there
through"
Morgan alleged in his suit that after
he surrendered his seat to a lady he
handle on the first cross seat near the
front. He declared that people were
hanging on the staps in front and be-
hind him hanging on the brass handles
OF the seats, but he maintained there
was room for passengers to pass him.
He acknowledged that he refused to
obey the motorman's S command. up

jumped back and grabbed him around
the neck and dragged him to the front
and said You will stand there. won't

The case was taken TO the Court of
Appeals by the company on the grounds
that the lower court erred in allowing
certain Instructions sought by the plain
tiff. and the opinion Of the higher court
affirms the action OF the court below
and approves the Judgment.

The commissioners, in their annual
estimates. made no specific provision

q tremendous capacity for hard, con-

late at night. An unbroken stream of
officers with reports and plans calling
for his decision flows all day long in

He performs the dual functions of min
