WALTER FISHER GETS JOLT IN
ATTEMPT TO GRAB JOB

ATTEMPT TO GRAB JOB
Walter L. Fisher, the Daily News
pet traction expert, was given a Sc
we're poke yesterday when he was
proposed again to laid" the city in
its traction troubles before the trans
pOrtation committee.
Aid. Henry D. Captain, who gen
orally agrees with what Fisher and
Victor Lawson of the Daily News
think is right for the struggling
straphangers of Chicago, suggested
that Fisher be retained by the COM
mittee at a fancy salary.
Aid. John TOman, fresh from his
battle of Monday night when he
slammed Big Business and put over
Aid. Otto KeTner's fender ordinance,
lead an attack into Fisher. Aid. Wat
son seconded Toman.
When TOman finished his little
talk on Fisher as traction expert, Aid.
MichaelsOn, Thompson leader in the
council, hastily asked that Fishers
name be withdrawn from cOnsidera-
ton by the committee.
Fisher, hooked up with the Daily
News, is probably the most important
enemy that public ownership has at
present in Chicago.
Standing high in 1907, when he
represented the city in the negOtia-
lions with the Chicago City Railways
Co., with the backing Of the trust
press, Fisher aided to shut off
stampede by civic clubs for munich
pal ownership of the street car lines
and a Scent fare.
Fisher is well thought Of by Big
Business bugs of the city, is reg
ular highbrow, lives on N. State
street and pays a $4,000 personal
property assessment. He was secre-
tary of the interior under Taft and
is a corporation attorney of national
repute. In Chicago he is known as

LOUIS FINALLY GOT $500 FROM
FIELDS FOR CRUSHED FOOT
A case that Marshall Field & Co.
has fought for almost four years
came to an end yesterday when the
appellate court decided that $500
was little enough damages for Louis
Wineberg to get for a crushed foot.
Wineberg stood on the corner Of
Clark and Washington st. Aug. 1,
1912, waiting for car with crowd
of other tired straphangers.
The car came along and Wineberg
stepped forward, but as he did so
delivery wagon of Marshall Field &
Co. swung around the corner and
through the crowd, catching him I'M
aware and running over the heel Of
his right foot.
He was crippled for some time, the
injuries the received being in part,
permanent. When he tried to tell this
to Marshall Field & Co.'S lawyers he
was scOffed at. Then he filed suit.
The case went to trial before Judge
Kavanaugh in the circuit court and
Atty Harry Okin for Weinberg was
awarded $500. But Marshall Field
& Co., has more money for lawyers
than injured pedestrians, so the store
showed the case into the appellate
court, using a technical error as an
excuse.
Here again the store was bumped,
so there is nothing left now other
than to pay Weinberg his $500.
But attorney fees have long since
eaten up the tiny award of the court
and the injured man will get small
damages for his injuries at the hands
of Marshall Fields.
One of the most remarkable gems
ever found in the U. S. is the Mason
diamond, which a Chinese PANIED

cident of the last "a hours OF sensa'
tional fighting from the Ancre to the
Somme. The struggle went on in
freakish August weather, with. alter
nate cloud-bursts and flashes OF ngnt'

All along the line from the south OF
the Ancre the British left their
trenches, while the French were hard
at il on their right. The time chosen
was 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
while the big attacks of July and IA
were in the early morning.
Two battalions were on the left with
more guns TO help them, probably,
than any two battalions that ever
made a charge One hundred cannon
were engaged in making curtain OF
fire on their front, while others were
busy with other details Of the staff
plan. Nothing in the whole offensive
was so dramatically staged or came
off with greater success.
The Germans still held on in their
old first line trenches. where their ma
