HEARST'S AMERICAN HIT BYI1
JUDGMENT FOR $500

JUDGMENT FOR $500
Willie Hearst as owner of the Chi
cagO American got another setback
the other day. A judgment for $4,000
was slapped on him because one of
his fenderless auto trucks nearly
killed youngster May II, 1913.
This makes $4,000 that tt courts
have taken from Hearst already this
year. He was assessed $500 when
the appellate court affirmed a deci-
sion against him in a case started be-
cause he called John O'Malley, a sa-
lOOnkeeper, more things than he
could prove, in his Chicago Exam
liner.
The personal injury judgment rem
derod by the superior court on April
Is resulted from suit filed in behalf
of William Mehaffey of Kansas City
by his father.
The Mehaffey youngster was
caught by a fenderless circulation
truck delivering papers at 18th and
Halsted SITS. He was run over and a
leg and arm were broken.
The boy was confined to his bed
for almost a year, and, according to
his atty, Geo. German, sustained in
juries which will make him a cripple
for life.
The attitude of the American to-
ward an ordinance passed by the
council which required tenders on
auto trucks was worthy of note.
While his own circulation auto
trucks we're running down and in
juring pedestrians, Hearst's papers
gave very little publicity to the ordi-
nance which would regulate this me-
mace.
The silence of the Hearst papers
was most remarkable after a commit
tee of State street store managers
formed lobby and saw the mayor,
asking him to use his influence to
gain repeal of the very same fender
ordinance.

MT. Churchill is reported to have predicted that the adoption of ration tickets would also be forced up- on the government for all essentials and that prices will have to be fixed to secure the poor the power to buy the necessaries. He said further he was quite sure that a national organi- zation of agriculture was inevitable Concluding his speech he expressed his opinion thus:
 We need a great organization for producing munitions of life just as we do for munitions of death Let the government do these things while there is yet time"
