COURT OPENS
On SUNDAY To
HEAR VERDICT
Special Session of Federal
Court Yesterday for
Insurance Case.
DEFENDANT WINS
INSURANCE SUIT
Mrs. Brawner Loses in
Action to Recover
$4,000 Policy

For the first time in the history
of the court, the federal court for
the Northern district of Florida con-
vened on Sunday, when yesterday
morning, Judge William b. Shep-
pard called the court to order to re-
ceive the verdict Of the jury trying
the case of Mrs. Caro- A. Brawner
against the Royal Indemnity Com
pany. The verdict was for the de-
PENDANT.
The case involved $4,000, covering
a policy which the husband of the
plaintiff the late F. E. Brawner, held
in the insurance company, and which
the plaintiff claimed was due her as
the beneficiary under the policy.
Two contentious were set up by the
defendants, affording two reasons
why they refused payment. Both were
closely related. The first was that
the policy was void before the death
of the holder. The company con-
tended that he had lapsed in pay
ment, and therefore the policy was
no longer valid.
The plaintiff set up the argument
that the policy was valid at the time
of the death of the holder, for, it
was claimed, it contained a clause
providing that in the event that the
holder lapsed in payment the COM
pany should pay the premium itself,
assessing the charge against the
value of the policy.
The second contention of the COM
pany was that the policy was voided
by the fact that the holder met death
by his own hand, which the plaintiff
attempted to disprove with the state
ment that he met death by accident,
which occurred while he was cleaning
a weapon.
The case rested on these two
points, and two days were consumed
in hearing the arguments of the par
ties to the suit. Throughout the day
Friday and Saturday John p Stokes,
attorney for the plaintiff and A. G.
Blount, and d. c. Campbell Of Jack
sonville, counsel for the defendant,
argued the case and at 1920 Satur-
day night both sides rested, and the
judge charged the jury.
Early Sunday morning the jury
was ready to report, and to avoid
presenting a sealed verdict, Judge
Sheppard ordered the court to con-
vene to receive the verdict for the
insurance company. The jury de-
cided that the policy was valid at
the time of the death of the holder
but was voided by the fact that he
met death by his own hand.

Be COLLECTED
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Specimens
of paper money of every available
issue made by the United States
government since its foundation are
being assembled by experts of the
treasury department and viii be
mounted in five great volumes. The
collection promises to be almost a
complete record of paper money is

proximately 100000 but its value
from a numismatic standpoint win be
practically inestimable. No private
collector could tie up so much actual
money In such collection and even
though one had the means and in
clination collection anywhere near
as complete as that already gathered
by the government would be almost
impossible.
Two volumes have been arranged,
the first containing all issues of
United States currency. The second
is devoted to the issue of national
bank notes under congressional au-
thority. A third soon to be ar
ranged, viii contain states currency,
which have been excluded from the
first volume, and fifth volume prob
ably will be used to display currency

SOAP FAMINE IN
RUSSIA IS SERIOUS
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Wilma, Russia, Nov. 12.-Because
the price of soaps and such necessi-
ties for washing as starch, borax and
the like, has increased beyond the
reach of the poor people, it is pro-
posed to establish in Wilma number
of Communal laundries'' for patron
age by those who cannot afford to
pay dearly for cleanliness.
Just how much the local inhab-
itants have been able to do for them
selves, through the agency Of twenty
five "Achieser Societies" or institu-
tions of brotherly help, is indicated
by the six months report Of the main
organization, just issued.
According to this report the TWEEN
ty-fiYe branch societies in all the por-
tions of Wilma took in during the last
half year just over fifteen thousand
dollars and expended a little more
than sixteen thousand dollars in
helping a total of $4,000 persons.

MANY GERMANS
GIVEN FURLOUCH
BY ASSOCIATED PRrss.

Berlin, Nov. 12:-( Correspondence
of the Associated Press. )-This au-
tumn is to be another furlough pc
Rod for a good majority of the sol
diers now in the field, for the min
istry of war has issued an announce
ment whereby each troop commander
has been instructed to send men home
as fast as he possibly can spare them.
The first men to go, many of whom
are now on leave, are those who in
normal peace times are farmers or
are employed on farms. They are
needed of course for the second har-
vest When they get back to the
front men in all sorts of other walks
of life will be sent back home, those
who are married being given the
preference.
The minister of war especially asks
commanders to give furloughs wher-
ever possible to men who have been
in the field continuously for a year,
regardless of their married or single
state. The plan, it is believed, will
make it possible for almost every
soldier to face the coming winter
campaign more or less fresh from a
rest at home.
