WINS SUIT AGAINST SALOON
Proprietor Who Sold Man Drink Must
Pay $25oO for His Death.

The first case in Philadelphia
county in which damages were
granted against a sa~loonkeeper fol
the death of a patron due to ex
cessive use of liquor purchased in his
establishment was decided in Judge
Patterson's court, when a jury return
ed a verdict of $500 in favor Of Mrs
Virginia Alexander against Jacob
Bosch, the pr prietor of a saloon al
1921 North Twenty-seventh street.
Mrs. Alexander sued to recover fol
the death of her husband, who, she
claimed, died in March, 1914, after two
years of excessive use of intoxicants
the majority of which she proved had
been sold to him by Bosch despite heI
pleadings and requests.
Several cases in which similar
claims were made are recorded in the
legal annals of Mexican, Lebanon, Al.
legheny and Braddock counties, but
the Philadelphia county files contain
no mention of an instance where q
plaintiff has obtained a verdict.

AND ARM U. s."
Mann Makes Plea For Nom
Political Preparedness.
SAYS WAR DANCER IS REAL
"Better Hundreds of Millions Spent
Now Than Unguessed Billions
Later" Declares Republican House
Leader.

Leader.
Unqualified, non-partisan support
of military preparedness was urg'
ed by Congressman j. r. Mann,
of Illinois, in a ringing speech
on the floor of the house. He
was heartily and repeatedly a~pplauded
by both sides of the chamber.
While it has been understood that
most of the Republicans favored army
and navy increases, none OF their
leaders had spoken on the subject.
Consequently, coming as 1t did on the
eve of the presidents departure on a
preparedness speaking tour, Mann's
address was regarded as particularly
significant. He remarked himself that
he always has been known as a
small" army and navy man.
Mann based his plea on the ground
that it behooves the United States
now to prepare for any eventualities
that may come as a result OF the Euro
pean war. He said he say no imme'
date danger of wal and hoped peace
might prevail, but that the danger OF
the United States being drawn into
the present conflict, or one that might
result from it, was too great to be
d~isregarded.
81 have much more fear in the end
of war with England than l have of
war with Germany" he said. This
was his only comment on this phase
of his subject. Later he declined to
elaborate on his remark.
Mann urged no particular prepared
ness plan. He said he favored a
standing army of 100000 or 300, 900,
or even half a million men, better
coast d~efences and a navy which
will be able to defend us On the
sea-" He promised to go into these
details at greater length later.
81 think we ought to provide these
great forces" said he, in pleading for
a non-partisan view of the question;
that it ought to be considered an
emergency matter, entirely apart from
the ordinary routine or expense of
government, without regard to parti
s~anship, or party lines"
Touching on the cost, Mann said
1t would be millions now, but better
than millions later.
"We can better afford" he said, ito
spend hundreds of millions of dollars,
or a few billions of dollars in ample
preparation for trouble and avoid it,
If possible, than we al to wait for
trouble and then spend untold bill
lions before we are finally v~ictors,
as we would be-"
He said the world was in the worst
condition in which any living person
had ever seen it, and predicted it
might be many years before it is
definitely determined whether one or
the other, or neither side can become
master" He also secuted the per.
manency of a paper peace.
