Lodge odd Fellows hall on North
Eighth street for exactly a quarter of
century, the well known law firm of

into n handsome suite of new offices
in the southeast corner of the sixth
floor of the Overland building. AL
ready former Governor James II. Haw-
ley and the chief clerk of the firm,
Charles w Mack, have moved into the
new quarters, but some time will be
required in moving over the big law
library of the firm, which is the finest
and largest in the entire northwest.
The firm has suite of six rooms,
which have been remodeled.
XGoNernor Hawley. who prior to
coming TO Boise was associated with
William II. Reeves in the practice OF
law at Blackfoot, made the change of
their headquarters to Boise, engaging
one half of the second floor of the old
odd Fellows building in January, 1891
II was Feb. l. before they could get
the rooms and move in and since that
time Governor Hawley has occupied
the same room continuously.
Changes in the Firm.
In 1894 the partnership was dis
solved and Mr.. Reeves moved to Poca-
tcllo, where he died a few years later.
w. Fl. Pickett, who had been employed
by the firm as clerk and stenographer
and who was q graduate of law
school. was taken into the firm and it

in 1908 when Jess Hawley was adj
mitted to practice and again the firm
became Hawley. Pickett g. Hawley. In

RULING GIVEN IN
INSURANCE CASE
Supreme Court Holds Con
tracts Wrongfully Drawn
May Be Reformed.

Where 1t is alleged in the complaint
and shown by the proof mat an In
surance policy as written by the agent
of the insurance does not truly state
the contract of insurance as actually
made between the parties, or the facts
upon which such contract Was based,
court of general jurisdiction in this
state may reform such contract. so as
to make 1t express the intention of the
parties and enforce it as so reformed,
in one action.
The above is the important ruling
laid down by the supreme court in a
decision handed down late yesterday
affirming judgment for the plaintiffs
given in the Eighth judicial district
court by Judge r. \. Dunn for koote-
mai county in the case of II. p. Car
roll and Ralph Ward versus Hartford
Fire Insurance company, an action to
recover ON a fire insurance policy.
This action was brought to recover
upon a $500 fire insurance policy
which was given to the plaintiffs to
insure them against the direct loss or
damage by fire of 100000 feet of lum-
Der situated In Kootenai county.
The answer denied the material al
legations of the complaint and set up
certain affirmative defense. Upon the
issues made the case was tried by the
court with 4 jury and resulted in a
verdict and Judgment In favor of the
plaintiffs for $500 with interest. a
motion for a new trial was denied and
the appeal was carried to the supreme
court.
1t appears from the record the plain
tiffs had mortgage on the lumber
and that they had no greater or other
interest than that OF chattel mort =
gagee, but were In fact insured in
the policy as sole owner of the pro-
perty, and that being true. it was con
| tended by the fire insurance company
that they could not recover because oi
certain provision in the policy. This
provision is to the effect the policy
would be void If the insured had con-
cealed. or misrepresented, in writing
or otherwise, any material facts Oh
circumstances concerning the insur-
ance or the subject.

ROADS FIGHT WAGE RAISE
Trainmen's Demand Unjust, Eastern
Managers Tell Stockholders.

The conference committee Of man
ayers of Eastern railroads will send
out this week 70 stockholders the fol-
lowing statement regarding the de-
mands of trainmen for higher wages:
The 100000 owners Of railroads,
who have put $1,000 100000 Of their
savings in the business. received on
their investment 4 per cent
THE railroad trainmon on every
railroad in the country are demanding
An increase in wages that will add not
far from sl00,000,O00 20 the payroll.
These employees are less than one-ffth
OF the army Of railroad workers, and
they have taken the cream of the re-
cent big wage advances. If they force
their demands surely the other four
ffths would require readjustment,
which the resources Of the railroad
would not permit.
"The demand is for their present
ten-hour pay for eight-hour service
and an increase in pay for overtime
Of S7+2 per cent. II is not a demand
for an eight-hour day They would bit
,terly oppose any effort to make them
work only eight hours q day.
THE carriers cannot shoulder this
burden. The railroad payroll for 1914
was 1881 900, 900. nearly two-thirds Of
the cost OF operating the roads"
