Watts Tells Newport
Folk About Telephony

S. E. Watts, local manager of the
Bell Telephone company, of Penn
sylvania, delivered an illustrated lee
ture last evening before the Mems
Business Association of Newport, his
subject being THE Growth of a
Great Modern Utility"
Mr.. Watts delivered a lecture sew
eral weeks ago on THE Telephone
Girl before this same organization
and there were so we'll pleased that
they requested a return engagement.
Mr.. Watts dealt principally with the
history of the telephone from the date
of invention down to the present time
with its modern appliances which
makes possible a conversation from
ocean to ocean. Slides were shown of
the Harrisburg exchange, outside con-
struction in the Harrisburg district
and various scenes in connection with
the installation of telephones and the
establishment of service. A brief his
tory was given of the men who have
been responsible in a great measure
for the rapid growth of this modern
utility, all of whom ara living to-day.
That which was especially interest
ing to the audience was to learn the
manner in which repairs are made to
lines on which trouble has occurred.
The use of motor trucks has greatly
facilitated these repairs which are
made promptly, regardless of weather
and the distance trouble
may be from an exchange.

A decision by the supreme judicial
court of Maine reversing a verdict for
$4,000 in the breach of promise suit
of GarmonS VS.. Henderson IS cited by
the New York Law Journal as Il fur
Their argument in favor "a the passage
Of q law in this State requiring that
promises of marriage be in writing in
order to be made the subject of a law
suit. The verdict i'll that case was bas-
ed upon testimony described as ''one
of the most fragrant pieces of menda-
cious effrontery that has ever come to
our notice" The court set aside the
verdict on the ground that the evidence
against the plaintiffs contention lis so
ovcrw helming as to show that the jury
were mistaken or pre1udiced,' < and
because evidence that the plaintiff had
brought criminal proceedings in anoth-
er state against a third person was JUS
tiication for the breach Of promise
The Law Journal says:
From certain correspondence in
Guided and other portions of the rec
ord it is quite clear that the plaintiff
was a woman of more than ordinary
intelligence. 1t is scarcely conceivable
that she believed that unbiased men
Of ordinary intelligence could accept
the statements she made, some of
which, i'll the language of the opinion,
were contrary to all experience and to
human nature itself What she and
her counsel must have relied on was
not actual credulity, but the disposition
Of the average American jury to find in
favor of woman in any action of this
kind. Either defendant or his father
was a man Of wealth and it should he
repeated that the verdict was for s116,-

IF the action of breach of promise
were not so prevailingly the resort Of
adventuresses and so rarely made use
of by women who are really aegrieved
the fact that occasional abuses arose
would Of course be no reason to uproot
it. But our judgment comedies with
that of many writers of large obserya-
