TE|1S0R! TO REMIT
$4,000 Of JUDGMENT

After the plaintiff had agreed to re-
nit $4,000 of the judgment granted
him by jury, Judge Fox in circuit
court today over. ruled the motion of
attorneys of the railroad for a new
trial in the suit of Clarence Teitsort
against the Pennsylvania railgoad
Attorneys for the railroad announced
that they would appeal the case to the
supreme court of the state.
For the loss of hand in a railroad
accident at Anderson over a year ago
jury of the Wayne circuit court early
in the October term this year granted
Teitsort $4,000. Attorneys for the
railroad filed motion for new trial
on the grounds that the judgment was
excessive
This morning. Judge Fox explained
to attorneys that although the trial
was conducted in true accordance to
law there is question whether the
Supreme court would hold the award
as being fair to the railroad. He ex-
planned that although he had no power
to modify the award of the jury he
would in accordance with his power
grant new trial unless the plaintiff
agreed to accept $4,000.

mobiles, manned by nearly one hun.
dred good fellows, members of the
EIks lodge. took Christmas cheer to
theh cheerless in the forgotten places
of the city Sunday afternoon.
A large basket, groaning with good
things to eat was left in each of the

result large dent was placed in the
Christmas relief fund raised by the
Elks during the centennial celebration
last October.
In each basket was one kind of meat,
either turkey. chicken, duck, goose,
ham or rabbit, a large sack of flour, a
sack of rice, sack of potatoes, two
loaves of bread, sack Of sugar, two
cans of condensed cream, pancake
flour, fruit and candy. In many bas-
kets were clothing for children.
Tears came to the eyes of many a
hard-working widow with Young chill
dren to Saise when the Elks basket ar
rived. Men and women, bed-ridden
and with the wolf snarling at their
doors, gave blessing to their jovial
benefactors.
These baskets were all distributed
in less than an hour. One went to
family living in tent in the north
end. .----

CHRISTMAS TRAVEL
SETS new RECORDS

Trains resumed schedules again
yesterday after service had been SER
iously crippled for three days by the
weather conditions, the great volume
of holiday travel, and the heavy ex-
press and mail. All divisions are now
clear and regular schedules can be
depended upon.
At the Pennsylvania railroad ticket
office today it was said the travel this
year was the greatest which ever af-
fected Richmond Trains were in
creased in size and with every avail
able coach in service it was almost
impossible to furnish accommodations
for the Christmas travellers. Travel
was heavy again last night and to-
day when travellers were returning to
business.

HORSE PUTS HEAD
IN HANER WINDOW
after MAD DASH

An uneventful and conventional
rush Of last minute" shoppers in the
Main street business district Saturday
night was highly spiced about 8 o'clock
in the evening by a sensational run
away accident.
When sleigh overturned at Eighth
kirkman, farm hand, was thrown
out and slightly injured. The fright
ened horse ran amuck while two or
three hundred panic stricken shoppers
hurriedly sought places Of safety.
Glass Falls With Crash
The horse bolted to the sidewalk,
slipped and slid against the display
window of the Haner jewelry store,
showing its head through the glass, the
broken pieces of which fell with 4
Iesounding crash. At the time Irwin
Test and wife, 725, South Sixth street,
were standing In front Of the window,
Mrs. Test informing her husband just
what kind of gift she would like to
have for Christmas. The sliding horse
bowled Test over and he received q
long cash in his head. Mrs. Test es-
capped uninjured.
The horse, bleeding from a long cut
in its head, jumped to its feet while
Test was being carried into a nearby
store, and continued it's wild dash.
One man. not having time to get
away from the frightened animal,
leaped on it's back and it was finally
stopped near Ninth street and taken
to veterinarian for treatment. Prop
erty valued at almost 5000 was des-
troyed by the horse. Several articles
of jewelry and chinaware in the Hane:
window were broken by the falling
glass.
Before light-fingered gentry could
make raid on the exposed valuables,
a police officer arrived on the scene
and went on guard in front of the
broken window.
Saturday afternoon a travelling man
fell in front of the Nolte carpet store,
Main street, and hurled his valise
through the plate glass show window.

DEMANDS ANSWER
BY FIRST CHIEF
TO U. S. PROTOCOL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - Unless
General Carranza returns favorable
answer today to the last communica
tion made to his commissioners by the
American representatives a week ago
at Philadelphia the negotiations will
come to an end.
The Mexican commissioners will
meet at New York today and if Carr.
anza has sent to them his answer 1t
is expected Luis Cabrera, chairman of
the Mexican delegation, will forward
it Immediately to Secretary Lane,
chairman of the American section.
When the joint Mexican-American
commission reconvened at Philadel-
phia Alberto ]. Pani, the Mexican
commissioner who had carried the
protocol signed at Atlantic City to
Queratiro for the ratification of Gen
eral Carranza, submitted a counter
proposal. It was in effect rejection
of the agreement entered into by the
commissioners and the substitution of
another protocol that had been draft
ed by the Mexican commissioners at
the direction of Carranza.
The Americans replied in a written
communication saying they could not
consider the counter protocol and IN
sisting that the agreement already
made must either be ratified or def
nitely repudiated. Some aspect Of the
ultimatum was given the communica-
tion by the insistence that an answer
would be expected by Dec. 26.
1t was not specifically stated that
failure to ratify the agreement would
result in final break in negotiations
and that the intimation that the Amer
leans would not continue the debate
that already has extended over three
months was clearly made.
