LAWYERS ARGUMENT NOT
THE KIND TO WIN CASES

SAVANNAH, Dec. 7.-Dr. Marion X.
Corbin, we'll known physician, con-
dacted his own case in the city court
here yesterday in his attempt to col
lect damages which he alleged were
due him from Eli Ness because of the
fact that Ness had run into him with
an auto during the summer. Judge
Freeman, who has been on the bench
for ten years, says this is the first
time in his experience that a plain
tiff has ever conducted his own case
in a civil suit before jury. DR.. Cor
bin proceeded with his case in fine
style until he made the statement that
Ness was a "greenhorn" at automobile
driving and had taken out an accident
policy to cover just such happenings"
The attorney for the defense then
made the plea that statements such as
these were intended to prejudice the
minds Of the jurymen and his motion
for the declaring of mistrial was sus-
tanned. The case will be tried again
later.

COAL MINERS ARE

GOVERNMENT is GOING TO OPER
crate MINES TO HELP.

ATLANTA Ga, Dec.7.-That the
United States government will take
over the coal mines of tn country and
operate them during the period of the
war, unless the coal operators show a
better disposition to cooperate with
the government than they have shown
to date was the opinion expressed by
William ]. Harris chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission on the eve
of his departure for Washington, where
he will shortly resign his position TO
devote his entire time to the race for
the United States senate against Sen
ator Thomas w. Hardwick
81 have recommended to DR.. Gar,
field the federal fuel administrator
that the so-called prior contracts,
which the operators are filling instead
of their regular customers contacts
at the government price, should be de-
clared null and void, and the Fuel Adj
ministration is now making investiga-
ton to determine whether they were
made for the sole purpose of evading
the government prices. Unless the
mine operators show better disposition
to cooperate with the government
than they have heretofore, the govern
ment will probably be forced to take
over the mines and operate them"
A delegation of prominent citizens
sent to Washington to secure ship
ments of coal tothis city has just re-
turned, and they declare they found
the national capital full of coal opera

force the Fuel Administration to in
crease their price at the mouth of the
