BIG CORPORATION LOSES J
IN COURT CASE

In the case of Bank VS. Fried,
from Barnes county, the SUI
preme court has handed down its
decision through Chief Justice,
Fisk, concurred in by the asso-
Gate JUSTICES Of the. supreme
court and finding for Anton and
Susan Fried Of, Wimbledon.
That court gives full light on
the standing which the decisions
Of the lower courts, sitting in,
equity, will be given by our SUI
preme court. 1t says:
"Uppn a trial de novo, the sr-
preme court in deciding the facts
.are independently of the trial
court s. findings when based upo1
oral testimony are Of necessity
entitled to and will be given
some weight
In other words, the decisions
Of the. judge Of the lower court
will be given proper weight in
the decisions based upon ora
testimony, notwithstanding that
the evidence is in dispute.
1t was the desire Of the bank
to have the supreme court ;g-
more the opinion Of the lower
court and to decide the case in
favor Of the banking corporation
This was refused, and again we
find the supreme court applying
the rules Of law and legal prac-
tice against the corporation, in
the interest Of justice.
Our supreme court has taken.
to APPLYING the law to existing
facts with a rapidity unknown in
older states, and while proceed
ents are given much weight, still
precedents are shorn of their

present tendance to cut away

gated in years gone by, by the

INCIDENT TOLD AT
FARMERS MEETING

The Importance Of birth reg
istration of children as we'll as
of stock was spoken Of at the
Farmers Institute held here last
week.
The following story was told
to illustrate the Importance:
"a farmer in Indiana left his
valuable farm in trust to- his un-
thrifty son, to 60 to his grand
daughter on her twenty first
birthday. When she believed she
was 21 and claimed her inherit
ance, her father disputed her
age, saying she was only 10. The
family Bible was consulted, but
the leaf, with the record was
gone. The court was in a guam
dEay. AT last a neighbor re-
me1nbered that a valuable cow
belonging to- the grandfather had
given birth to a calf on the day
the girl was born, and he could
swear to the coincidence; per-
haps the grandfather had record
ed the date Of the birth Of the
calf. HE farm books showed
that he had done 60, and the date
of the birth Of the girl was thus
as4ablished." This story has a
cheerful ending; in too many.
instances hardship and loss have
been suffered because Of a ami-
lar Lack of indipntable birth re-

AUCTIONEERS ARE
IN SESSION HERE
international Society Would
Disbar Those Who Con-
duct Fake Sales.
LEGISLATION IS DISCUSSED

State examining boards to examine
auctioneers as to their fitness to con-
duct legitimate auction sales, and with
authority to disbar from practice any
auctioneer who conducts a fake auc
ton, are some of the things the In
ternational Association of Auction
GERS is seeking.
The association is in session at the
Hotel Castle. The convention ex-
tends over yesterday and today.
1--WE want to do away with several
of the unfair laws in some of the
states and get better laws in other
states" said Secretary J. Wilbur Read
of Peoria, III. 1--WE want to do away
with prohibitory licenses and lot of
other abuses. There is no more rea-
son why an auctioneer should pay a
license than that any man should pay
a license for the privilege of going
about his daily business.
To Protect Legitimate Auctioneer.
Our problem in the International
association is in general to work to-
ward uniform legislation in the vari-
Gus states. We are also working
against the faker, to protect the legiti-
mate auctioneer against the taking
auctioneer and to protect the legiti-
rate business man against the opera
tons of the faker."
Colonel ]. E. Stout of Peoria, ILL.,,
is president of the association. He
delivered a rousing address at the
opening Of the session and reviewed
some of the needed legislation.
J. Wilbur Read of Peoria is secre-
tary-treasurer and J. L. Dowd of ON
aha is vice president.
J. L. Dowd, vice president, is ex-
pecting to be elected president for the
coming year, as this has been kind
of precedent to place the vice presi-
dent into the presidency.

HAS PLAN TO WIDEN
TWENTY FOURTH ST.
City Planning Superintendent
Has Figures on Eighty
Foot Basis.
SIXTY BUILDINGS IN WAY

Superintendent Kvenild of the City
Planning board has completed pre-
liminary plan for proposed widening
of Twehty-fourth street, Cunning to
Pacific streets, to uniform width of
eighty feet. This plan will be con-
sidered by the board when Chairman
Morton returns from the east. The
board has not indicated whether it
favors an eighty-foot or hundred-foot
street, but the superintendent made
the plan upon the basis of eighty feet
for the first consideration of the
board.
This plan shows that the street
would be widened as follows: Pacific
to Leavenworth, thirty feet on east
side; Leavenworth to St. Mary's ave-
nue., thirty feet on east side; St.
Mary's avenue to Harvey. twenty-six
feet on west side; Harvey to Farnam,
twenty-six feet on east side; Farnam
to Cass, no change; Cass to Cunning,
all widening to be done on the east
side, the property affected varying in
width according to the present width
of this section of the street.
Sixty Buildings in Way.
Sixty buildings would be in the way
of this proposed widening plan. With
the exception of Farnam to Cass
streets, Twenty-fourth street, Pacific
to Cunning street, is from forty-six to
fifty-four feet in width.
1t is the purpose of the Planning
board to arrange meetings with prop
erty owners interested and discuss
the wisdom of an eighty-foot or hun
