DEMURRER Of COMPANY IS
UPHELD IN DAMAGE SUIT
COMPLAINT Is HELD INSUFFICI-
ENT BY CIRCUIT JUDGE
PHELPS.

Holding that the complaint filed
by L. b. Ashbaugh, administrator OF
the estate of Alice L. Ashbaugh who
was killed at Echo by an O.-W. r. &
\. train, against the railroad COM
pany was insufficient for a cause of
action, Judge Phelps this morning
sustained the demurrer. of the rail
road company.
Mrs. Ashbaugh was killed trying
to crawl under train that blocked
the street of Echo. The complaint
did not charge that any of the EN-.
ployes of the company saw her make
the attempt and, hence, Judge Phelps
holds in his opinion the doctrine Of
last clear chance cannot be apple
able. Furthermore, he holds that a
person in possession of their full sens

lous chance by crawling under
train and who could have avoided in

is not entitled 10 recover. citing an
Idaho supreme court decision and

THE court is of the opinion" he
says, that the plaintiff must under
the facts of this case allege that the
trainmen or at least some of them
saw the deceased in her attempt to
climb. through the train and could
have avoided the injury by the appli'
cation Of due diligence under the cir.
cumstances.

NATION IS AT HIGH
POINT OF FINANCIAL
POWER SAYS M'ADOO
RESOURCES ARE GREATEST IN
OUR HISTORY, He DECLARES
IN REPORT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-A sweep-
ing declaration of American financial
stability was made by Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo in his annual ge-
port to congress today.
our financial resources are the
greatest in our history and our bank
ing system, through the operation Of
the federal reserve system is the
strongest in the world" he said.
Commenting on business conditions
the secretary declared one of the
most encouraging features was that
the demand for iron and steel pro-
ductors is heavier from domestic than
from foreign sources.
Among recommendation made is
one that persons having a gross in
come of $4,000 or more a year shall
pay an income tax. The law at pres
ent provides for net incomes of that
amount, leaving it 70 the individual
to determien whether his net income
is $4,000 or more. The report does
not mention other income tax law
changes suggested by the secretary in
a recent statement.
Indicating the fight to be made on
the so-called pork measure, the omui-
bus public buildings bill, the secretary
advances arguments for its discontin.
uanee. He cites bad public building
conditions in many cities.
He supports the idea OF government
treatment of drug addiets by the pub
lie health service or other government
agency, and suggests that the Harri-
son anti-narcotic act be made more
stringent.
Concerning the public health ser.
vice, the secretary urges upon con-
sreSS the necessity for more commits
stoned medical officers and larger
public health field investigation. He
points out that the Uaited states is
the only country which does not pro-
vide for the isolation and care of lep.
ers. There are approximately lac
lepers in the L. 5. he states. and
congress is urged 10 pass bill intro
duced az the last congress. for a ma.
tional leprosarium.
Plans are being worked out by the
coast guard and navy. the secretary
says, to make the former organize
Jion valuable auxiliary to the navy
In time Of war.
The secretary also calls attention
,u the saving effected by the treas.
ly's innovation OF shipping money
10y parcel post rather than express.
He recommends increasing the sal
aries OF assistant secretaries from
$4,000 to $500. The present salary.
the secretary points. makes it neces-
sary for men Of the caliber desired.
TO sacrifice themselves financially To
hold the position
