Case of Gus. T. Old Against Arizona Eastern Brings
 Out Unusual Situation;
 Dismissal Motion Made

Declaring that there was no evidence of negligence, George Purdy Bullard yesterday argued a motion for the dis missal of the case of Gus T. Old against the Arizona Eastern railroad. Mir. Bullard made the motion after the plaintiff had introduced practically all it's evidence in the s10,000 damage suit which was begun in Judge Ly- mans division of the superior court yesterday. The court took the matter under advisement until 9:30 o'clock this morning.
 Old claims that on December b, 1916, he was injured as the result of negligence on the part of the railroad company. He was travelling from Phoenix to Peterson and when the flagman announced his destination and opened the vestibule door he all leges that as they slowed down he was expected to get off and as he started the cars jerked and he was thrown Violently sustaining a wound in his right temple, fracturing his collar bone and wrenching his right shoulder. He charges that the train never came to 8 complete stop for him and that he was compelled to get off when it slowed town. In this he was corrob- orated by other witnesses who testi- lied that it only stopped for women and old men,
 Under cross examination Old admit ted that he got off the train 900 feet from the station and it was held by the defense that the train did not stop at cross roads. Old also admitted under cross questioning that his injuries had not been such as to impair his ability 1 to work stating that he would have made three times more this year thar last if he had been able to secure wa | ter for his lands
 i Flsgman Nix, referred to by Old ir l his complaint and on the stand, has 1 passed away since the commencement of the suit having been one of the members of the new national army al Camp Funston to succumb to pneu-
 monia. The deposition of Nix taker before his illness relieves the road ot all responsibility for the accident Ht

 MEETS WEATHER.

Harry A Diehi, who returned Tuesday from trip east, included in his itinerary an exhaustive tour of the shoe centers ir the bigger cities. Mir. Diehl went as far as Boston. and also attended the show dealers convention there. In Chi cago he encountered tine terrible snowstorms which have tied up the countrys fuel supplies and nanp- cred all kinds of traffic by blocking the railroads. In one instance while staying at the home of a friend, the seriousness of the situation was brought home to MT. Diehl when he assisted in shoveling his way out of the lot on which the house stood

Godowskx Talks of Mechanical Musi.

Godowsky Talks of Mechanical Music
 At the close of a recent concert. Leopold Godowsky expressed the opinion that of all the educational influences which are turning musical taste in this country, the mechanical piano. player is one of the most powerful. T can see it everywhere I go" he said. Just recently l was out west and in the southwest, where the people don't get enough music. When l used to go out there, l found I had nothing to work on. There was no musical taste. My hearers simply didn't know anything about the best music Now I find it quite different. They know their piano literature. They prefer Chopin and Schumann to the latest and most jingling ragtime song. They demand concert artists, and when they get them they only wallt the finest music. Virtually all this is due to the mechanical player
 Nothing made by man IS perfect, of course, but the mechanical player is rapidly approaching degree of efficiency which was undreamed of even few years ago. Matters of touch. tone, dynamics, are perfectly reflected in the new machines. As matter of fact, after hearing some of my records, I am almost ashamed

NORTHWEST OF VERDUNj Oct S.
American aviators having established
supremacy in the air in spite OF the
strong German concentration or air
planes in this sector recently originated
a plan for twilight flying. Pursuit
planes leave for battle before sunrise,
returning during the day for gasoline
and oil and resume their attacks until
il is too dark to see.
Airdromes are illuminated by flares
and searchlights and the avistors re-
ceive signals by oolored rockets which
can be seen for sixteen miles. When
approaching their bases they fire lights
which are answered from the ground
indicating whether any special airdrome
is their home station or that Of another
squadron.
Landing Is a difficult feat for pur-
suit planes. but so far only five Of the
group OF more than 100 have turned
over and there have been no casualties
Night flying has accounted for thirty
or forty German balloons.

Of Bulgaria. abdicsted On Thursday IN
favor OF Crown Prince Boris,
: The new king. Il is declared, has
already Assumed the reins OF office.
King Ferdinand's popularity with his
people has been waning rapidly since il
became apparent to Bulaarians that he
had erred grievously 10 plunging the
country into war on the Sde of the
Teutonic alliance. Adviees from the
capital had indicated that before the
armistice with the entente was signed
King Ferdinand was trembling for his
throne and feared that . revolution
might upset the whole dynasty.
The attitude OF Prince Boris toward
the two groups Of belligerents has no,
been definitely indicated but the ad-
vices from Sofia have shown the Bull
garian government so thoroughly COM
mitted to the plan Of making peace
with the entente that Il seems highly
unlikely any change in the titular head
Of the state would affect the policy Of
the Bulgarian leaders who are engaged
in carrying out the peace program.
