IMPORTANT LAW SUIT.

One of the most vigorous contest
ed law suits ever heard in the Ohio
Circuit Court was determined Tues
day morning II was a case growing
out of the killing of Thomas Higdon, a
soldier on guard duty at Rockport,
by an Illinois Central train, last
spring. The suit was filed for TWEEN
ty thousand dollars. in the name Of
John r. Higdon, father of the de-
ceased soldier. Haswell & Walls, of
Hardinsburg. and Barnes & Smith, of
Hartford, appeared as attorneys for
the Plaintiff and II. p. Taylor for the
defendant. The case went on trial
Friday afternoon and was not con-
cluded until Tuesday morning. About
twenty witnesses were heard, and on
account OF the sum involved the
court house spectators were treated
TO a royal legal battle that has been
rarely equaled in the Ohio Circuit
Court. The jury were able to reach
a verdict only after many hours ofde-
liberation. and finally made a com
promise verdict for $500 for the
PLAINTIFF. The defendant has offer
ed grounds for new trial but the
court has not yet passed on the mo-
ton.

principal cities Of the nation last night

them a potent factor in winning the war

Tense
The British delegates will tell the
delegates to the confeTence how Great
Britain handled the problem Of in
dustrial mobilization. with particular ref
erence to the labor situation.
Chairman Gompers declared that daily

FIGHTS TIME
TO WIN HONOR
Makes White House, Navy and
Congress Halt War Plans
to Give Him Commission.

Assistant Paymaster Earl L. Bailey, U.
s. N. can boast today that he is the
only man whose personal affairs tenn
porarily stopped the war preparation
work Of the White House, the Navy De-
partment, and Congress. All of these
dropped everything else so as to make
it possible for Bailey, who has been q
bluejacket, to receive an officers COM
mission before he was barred on account
Of the age limit. This was announced
last night by the Navy Department
With the highest recommendations
from his officers, Bailey recently was
assigned to take an examination for a
commission as assistant paymsster Be
cause Of the great amount of work that
had piled up in the Navy Department, II
! was impossible for him to receive his
commission, however. until after he had
passed his twenty-sixth birthday 0ast
Tuesday,, which would have barred him
by law.
The race with time began last Sunday
afternoon when Paymaster General Nc
Gowan learned OF Balley's situation.
Then things went like this:

Of U-boats have been extremely heavy

So serious have these losses become II
was indicated in unofficial cable dis
patches yesterday, that an official state
ment has been issued in Berlin on the
subject, admitting the destruction of a

Oflcials here yesterday, however, de-
clared that although the submarine
menace may be curtailed at this time,
there is nc prospect Of the submersibles
being driven from the seas. The menace
Is stiIl grs We and every effort Is being
made to discover a sure cure.
In line with dispatches telling OF the
recent undersea reverses of the Teutons,
It was indicated that American officials
are cooperating with the European allies
in attempting to find means to destroy
the submarine, and that they may have
had some part in working out. the de-
vice now being employed in British
waters.
Excerpts from a speech Of the Ger
man Secretary Of the Navy admitting
serious recent submarine loses were re-
ceived by the State Department yester-
day afternoon in a special telegram.
Improved means Of destruction" were
attributed by the official as the reason
for the loss Of "a certain number OF
submarines"
At the same time he declared the sub
marine warfare had achieved far greater
results than had been expected.
