Amount in Dennis vs.. Hook Case.
Present Term Of COurt Will Not he Ad-
journed. hut VIII he Kept In Con-
tinuous Sessioa until
September.

A. verdict for the plaintiff to recover
sl90.A was returned late yesterday after
noon by the jury in the contract case Of
John r. Dennis W.. Arthur NJ. Hook.
which has been under consideration for
a week in county court. The suit was
based on a claim for extras furnished by
the plaintiff In the erection of q house
for the defendant. The claim involved q
separate items, which accounts for the
length of time 1t ook to dispose of it.
The jury received the case about 1880
o'clock yesterday morning and returned
their verdict after five o'clock in the
afternoon. T. T.. Hopkins and NJ. s. Villas
represented the plaintiff. and r. e. Brown
and 8. r. Moulton appeared for the de-
PENDANT.
Judge F. M. Butler. who is presiding
during the present term, announced that
in order to facilitate the business OF the
court and to give every party fuTl OPP
p~ortunity to be heard, he would not ad-
journ the present term of court, but would
keep 1t in session, until time for the OPEN
Ing of the September term. This action.
while unusual, does not establish a
precedent, although 1t has been performed
only twice within the memory of most
Of the attorneys now practicing.

any more Jury cases tried during the re-
mainder of the term, mi the jurors were
yesterday excused, subject to call. AL
though the term has already continued
nearly two months, only five jury cases
have been tried, most of them lasting
an unusually long time. Judge Butler
expects to hear a number of divorce cases
to-day, there Is also a considerable
amount of business on the court and
chancery court calendars.
In announcing that the court would re.
main in continuous session. Judge Butler
stated that any case ripe for trial would
be taken up on motion, after reasonable
notice had been given to the other side,
and a time fixed for Its hearing. All I'M
contested cases will be taken UP in their
order.
Executions upon judgments completed
and ready for execution may be issued
on May ]. m all ~pleadings shall be filed
within the time required by the rules.
the same as If the court had taken final
adjournment on May /. All exceptions in
cases already heard shall be filed within
thirty days from May 1; and exceptions
In cases not yet heard will be required
to be filed within 20 days from the com
pletion of the hearing.
Although the presiding judge had ex.
pected to put in a busy afternoon hear
ing divorce cases. only one case. that
OF Margaret Z. Legault VS.. Joseph o
Legault. was offered for hearing. Since
a term of court had not elapsed after the
order of notice Of publication Of the libe
had been complied with. the case was
continued until the following term.

UNDER CONSIDERATION
Secretary Lansing.Makes This
Suggestion to American
Steamship Companies

New York, Feb. S.--The question Of
whether American ships shall be
armed for defensive purposes is being
considered by officials Of the Amer
lean line today
The question was raised by Secre-
tary of State Lansing, who, in in
forming American steampship com
panies that the government cannot ad-
wise them regarding sailings, said;
"a neutral vessel may, If its owners
believe IL is liable to be unlawfully at,
tackled, take any necessary measures
to prevent or resist such attacks. "
1t is uncertain, in the event the lines
decide to arm their vessels for defen-
sive purposes, as foreign lines have
done for some months, whether they
would furnish their own guns and gun
crews or whether the United States
navy would assist.
There was a report here today that
number of three and six inch gum

According to highest information to.

adopted such extreme measures, but

in adjudging Germany's blockade ilic

made, however, the government, fol
the present, merely eOntenting itself
