Mrs. Jessie Rowe Gets
Verdict for $4,000

The case of Mrs. Jessie howe
against the city Of WATERFOWL and
O. II. and e, X. Richards finally
reached the stage Of a trial in circuit
court here last week.
THIS case ha> gone TO the supreme
court once or tWiye on technical
grounds, or points of law, and was
finally remanded for trial. Mrs.
Rowe sued for So 900, Sherin & Sher-
in representing the plaintiff.
The beginning CT the issue dates
back to 1907 when the Richards were
constructing the Idle Hour theater.
1t Seems that the front of the build
ing gave way. w. d. Rowe, the
plaintiffs husband, was either passing
or standing OIL the sidewalk at the
time, and he was injured. 1t is al
legged that he eve fully recovered
fro mthe effects of the injury and
that as a result thereof he died about
five years later.
The plaintiff claims that the acct
dent was due to negligence on the
part of the city and of the other de-
PENDANTS in that they failed properly
to protect the building SO as to en-
der it ~safe-in other words, that the
front fell because it had not been
properly protected.
The jury, after having been out
about twenty-four hours, returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff, fixing
the damages at $4,000.
Whether the case will be appealed
is not definitely known, although at
the last meeting OF the city commits
sion the question arose ove a query
by Mr.. Richards whether the city
would share in the payment of the
award providing no appeal were TAX
en-. Mr.. Richards, it seems, paid Mr..
Rowe $3.50 between the date of his in
jury and his death. He suggested
that If the city would put up $500 of
the Emount it would be satisfactory,
but he thought the city should pay
some of 1t inasmuch as the Richards
had been compelled to pay for legal
services whereas the city had receiv-
ed the benefit of the yearly salary
paid its attorney.
The conclusion at the council meet
ing. without stating whether the city
would share in the payment of the
iury's award, was that a notice of ap-
peal would be served.

RICHARDS HAS NEW ISSUE.

Huron, S. D.-Residentsss Of South
Dakota will be given a timely topic Of
discussion by a new and advanced
PLAN for the handling OF the liquor
problem which has bear formulated
by r. O.. Richards Of Huron.
Mr.. Richads proposes a plan for
the dual distribution of wines, beers
and distilled liquors as a substitute
for the saloon or constitutional pro
hibition. He believes the use of wine
is a moral question: and that the state
should only deal whit to the extent
of creating wholesome environment in
its production and distribution. He
maintains that the function of state
government is merely to guarantee
individual liberty, public education
and public organization in the inter.
ests OF labor to produce and distribute
what man needs for his happiness
He does not believe in prohibition
OF anything that man eats or drinks
by legal force. Temperance in all
things. other people have rights il
among his pet sayings.
Under this dual distribution idea,
he advocates the separation Of the
distribution Of distilled liquors from
light wines and beers for the present,
Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1915-11-18
and contends that the open saloon

and contends that; the open saloon
should be let alone and be preferred
to the secret salson; prosecutions and
forced morality, until proper iegisla-
ton can be planned to- entrust the
local physicians with the public health
as to the use Of distilled liquors the
same as in osler public health mat
tiers.
He furtheE maintains that the drug,
store should distribute all distilled h.
quors, the same as narcotics. upon
prescription of the local physician.
His plan would provide that both ply
stefan and druggist be under revok-
able moral permits from the spcal
municipal authority.
Mr.. Richards would place Hight
wines and. beers under the national
and state pure food departments. in.
order to require pure products. No
commercial retail by the glass or
consumption on the premises where
sold, but light wines and beers may
be distributed for home consumption
by the local grocer, subject to q re-
yokable moral permit from the mu,
nicipal authority. He holds that NO
local tax or financial license should
be exacted for the sale of pure light.
wines and beers II distilled liquors,
and that they should be handled pare
" on a moral basis.

WILL KEEP UP FIGHT
 FOR SUFFRAGE BILL
Will Resist Application of Legislative ChlOrofOrm,
 Says Mrs. Jacobs

At well attended meeting of the Birmingham Trades Council, held yes terday afternoon, resolutions were adopted requesting the house commit definite action on the equal suffrage bill The resolutions followed a vigorous ad- dress before the council by Mrs. Solon Jacobs, president of the Alabama Equal Suffrage association, in which she ex- plained in detail the fight for the pas sage of the bill by the suffrage lead CTS in Montgomery.
 It will be recalled that the committee on last Thursday postponed indefinitely further consideration of the equal suf- frage bill. Mrs Jacobs stated that a large majority of the committee had expressed themselves as favoring the bill and the action of the committee in shelving the measure was neither in accordance with the general feeling among the lawmakers or the expressed advocacy of the suffrage movement.
 The Birmingham Trades Council went on record sometime ago as favor ing woman's suffrage and the action yesterday is in protest of the "appli- cation of legislative chloroform" by the committee in regard to the bill. Mrs. Jacobs stated that the suffragists in e tended to keep up the fight until the bill was acted upon by the legislators.
