LEASE OF STORE |. IN MAIN STREET
 IN LITIGATION

Peculiar circumstances developed in the suit of Nathan S. Conins. propri- etor of series of restaurants, against Michael c. Hayes in the Superior Court before Judge Donald T. War ner this morning after the case was started, and it was taken off of the trial list indefinitely Comins sued Hayes for damages of $10,OOO, alleging he held a lease of a store in Main street, near Gold, formerly occupied by Hayes, and now occupied by Eek ler's cigar store. Hayes alleges there was misrepresentation to him re- garding paper he signed.
 Hayes held a lease of the building from the owners, and decided to move his fish market to another location, which he did. He is friendly with CominS and hearing a restaurant was to be located in the store, ap- praised the latter, and offered to hold the place for Cornins if he wanted it, or to prevent any other restaurant from locating there, Comins having a restaurant a short distance away. Hayes took another lease of the prem ises.
 
 verbal agreement whereby Hay es was to hold the store for Comins for a payment of s25 month, from any other restaurant, in the meantime renting it to Eckler. This was in the summer of 1915.
 Later Conins became tired of pay l ing the $25 a month, and asked Hayes if he would not take a lump sum to protect him against any other res taurant, and to turn the place over to him provided Eckler left the place. Hayes agreed to take $250 on this un- derstanding. Comins asked for it in writing, and Hayes said Nhave it drawn up'' Some days later Hayes was asked to the office of T. B. Stei- ber, shown a paper, and assured it was in accord with the verbal agree ment, affixed his signature.
 When the suit was filed Hayes was surprised to find he had signed a lease for the store until July, 1923. The suit claims possession, or dam ages of $10000. It was brought out today, however, that Eckler is still in possession, and Judge w. H. Comley did not wish to proceed. He said he had assumed that Eckler had given up the possession of the store July l, 1917, On the contrary Ecl<ler expects to stay until July 1 of the present year, and Attorney Comley did not wish to proceed.
 DeForest & Klein are contesting the lease for Hayes upon the ground it was signed through misrepre- sentation of what the paper con ltained.
 The case goes off of the trial list and the entire proceedings will prob ably have to be commenced anew tc gain trial upon the main issue, the validity of the lease.

100000 In U. S. ARMY
More Than 100000 Men Have Been
Called in the Draft or Are
Now in France.

Washington. May 13.-More than
100000 men have been called in the
draft so far and either are in France,
in camp or under call to go into serv-
ice before June 1. The total of 1,30O,-
600 includes all men summoned in the
May contingent. There is every indi-
cation that even larger increment
will be summoned in June than was
summoned in May, and q progressive
monthly mobilization continue through
the summer and fall months as the
environments are expanded. 1t is ex-
pected that at such rate the, army
will reach a full strength Of well over
100000 within the next twelve or
thirteen months. It is possible, some
officers say, that the number will be
closer to 5000, 900 than 100000.

BORGLUM, THE SCULPTOR, is
ACCUSED I'M AIRrLANE DEAL
Charged With criticizing u. S. Board
to Help His Own Firm-Planned
to Use Wilson's Help.

Washington, May 11.-DOcuments
of the government show that GutZon
Borglum, the sculptor, whose charges
against the aircraft program have led
to the impending inquiry, as having
been connected with negotiations for
the establishment Of new aircraft
producing corporation, in which ne was
to be silent partner.
Negotiations between Borglum, Hugo
Gibson, connected with the British war
mission in the United States, and Ken
yon Mix of the Dodge Manufacturing
company of Wisconsin, began last De-
cember, the documents show. A state
ment by Mix, included Ia the docu-
ments, tells how he withdrew after be-
coming suspicious of Borglum's activi-
ties and reported the affair to Howard
Coffin, then head of the aircraft pro-
ductiOn board.
The documents which have been sup
piled from the official files Of the war
department and are now In the hands
of senator's most intimately connected
with the aircraft investigation, declare
that BOrglum continued his negOtia-
tons after President Wilson authorized
him to make an inquiry into the air
craft situation.
A summary of the negotiations
signed by Henry Harrison Suplee, who
acted as consulting engineer for Mix,
declares that BOrglum was to be rep
resented in the corporation by Mr..
Harris and that Borglum's "sole asset
in the transaction was to be, first, his
personal friendship and association
with President Wilson, whom, he
stated, he could do anything he wanted
with"
Suplee's statement further declares
that Borglum gave him to understand
that the personnel of the aircraft board
was 'highly distasteful to him" and
that he proposed to change it Shy vir-
tue of his friendship with President
Wilson" and asked Suplee to suggest
men for the places.

ITALIANS WIN MONTE C0RN0
Latins Take AEstrians by Surprise
Battle in Snow on Peak 5000
Feet High.

Italian Army Headquarters, May Is.
After a long period of activity, ow-
ing to the weather, Italian troops on
the mountain front in brilliant op-
Grafton at night captured the dominat-
ing peak of Monte Como, destroyed
an elaborate system of enemy defenses
and took 100 prisoners, two guns, a
number of machine guns and much
war material.
The action was in the Arsa valley,
the main line of opproach from Trent
and RoveretO.
There was considerable snow re-
naming on Monte Corno which is
5000 feet high. This increased the
difficulties of the comparatively small
Italian attacking force.
After a short artillery action the
infantry advanced over rocky and pre-
cipitous heights. The enemy was
taken by surprise and could make lit
tie effective resistance. The move
ment was carried out by daylight.

WHAT IS WORSE
THAN WAR?
Consumption Four Times More
Deadly Than Bombs and
Machine Guns.

Pierre Hamp, French medi' al au-
rhority. estimates that of the 3S.UUO..
900 people Of all ages still living in
France 100000 must die of tubercu-
lOsis The war will have killed about
100000. This means that man with
all of his tnventiveneSs is far less eff
cient than Nature as a man killer.
There have been over 100000 new
cases of consumption in France since
the war began. This is why, despite
the number of new hospitals there is
still moi sufficient space available for
tuberculosis cases
The Question of Pensions.
OF course first considera ton Is ac-
corded to the ever popular wounded
men. Therein lies the tragedy of the
consumptive soldier With the new
cases coming in daily from the
trenches the consumptives are not
as helpless as the wounded men.
When discharged from the army the
severely wounded are allowed PEN
sion by the government. The COM
sumptives, however. receive no allow
ance unless they can prove that their
illness is entirely due to their service
in the army. This is not an easy thing
to do, and consequently comparatively
few consumptives receive govern
mental assistance.
Until the American Red Cross began
to extend its aid the plight Of most Of
these men was often pitiful. When
discharged from the hospital they are
given certain instructions which would
eventually bring them back to health.
But conditions are hard. They are
usually unable to earn much and so do
not get proper or even sufficient nour-
ishment. Very often they are In no
condition to look after themselves still
less to safeguard the health Of 9TH
ers. To meet this difficulty local COM
mittees have been formed to look after
the discharged patients and see that
they do not pass on their disease to
members of their families. The task
is well nigh hopeless. Even II proper
living quarters are to be had santa.
ton and hygiene cannot be taught
overnight. They sleep in air tight
rooms, kiss their babies. drink out OF
the same cups and use the same towels
as the rest of their families.
In spite of these appalling difficult
ties. however. the rapid spread Of the
disease must-simply must-be check
ed. Even to attempt this would be an
lmpossibility without the tremendous
facilities and aid Of the American Red
Cross No other agency could con-
ceivably face. much less hope to ac-
cOmplish. such a task.
