REFUSES
TO SUSTAIN THE
n. P. DECISION
tBy Associated Press.l

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 15.-The
state supreme court today refused
to sustain the judgment of the Clay
county district court in a case
charging that the Northern Pacific
railroad company's freight depot at
Moorhead, MINI, was an unlicensed
drinking place. While Moorhead is
in dry territory, the option laws
were not regarded as important in
the case because the charge was not
made under them.
This case grew out of charges that
taxi drivers and others solicited or
ders for cases of beer and that they
drew their supplies from a stock al
legged to have been kept at the
Northern Pacific freight depot in
Moorhead. 1t was brought as a test
case.

statement of the counsel Of his ow1
company as to what the deed was.
The rules applicable to the duty OF
party when a written instrument is
presented by the adverse party, have
no application to such a situation.
II courts were to hold that business
men may not trust their own general
counsel in such a matter, ii would
be to set up in court a standard en-
tirely different from the practices Of
careful and prudent business men.
There Is considerable confusion in
the authorities. and some general
language to the effect that negligence
will always defeat the right Of resets
sion or cancellation for mistake. Such
is not the law. Read in the light of
the event II can never be said that
a mistake is not due to the failure
OF the party making the mistake to
exercise care, and to hold that
negligence of that kind would defeat
equitable relief for mistake, would
wipe out that entire title Of equity
Jurisprudence. The negligence which
disentitles one to relief against mis-
take must be negligence of a legal
duty, as the statute of North Dakota
provides, and this means something
more than the errors and inadVert-
ences TO which even careful business
men are liable.
Owing to the fact that defendant
has given a mortgage on the Third
street property for $4,000, that he
has received certain rents OF the
property, paid taxes thereon, made
certain improvements, there are some
details for which provision must be
made in the findings and decree. I
have no doubt those can all be ad-
justed between counsel. as was indi-
Gated at the time Of the argument,
and l shall leave it to counsel to make
those adjustments. If insurmount-
able difficulties are encountered as
to any of those matters, leave is re-
served to apply to the court.
Neither party will recover
costs"

PROTECTION OF CHICKENS.
Food Administration Orders ''Safcty
First" Crates in Kansas.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 21.-Crates used
in shipment of poultry by rail must be
SO constructed that chickens cannot
poke their heads thru the top of the
crates, according to a food admins
tration order issued today.
The reason for the order is not that
the food administration objects TO the
chickens viewing the scenery while
travelling, but the plan is to prevent
poultry from being killed when other
freight is piled on top of the crate.
Unless tight tops are provided. hens
while travelling will look out of their
crates and large percentage will be
killed.
The order also forbids overcrowding
of poultry. A standard coop is 80 by
IS inches at the base. Not more than
SIS pounds of mature poultry may be
put in such a crate at a time

ON NAVY WAITING LIST
Nearly 100 Topekans Anxious to Enter

The names of ninety-three, men,
who are on the waiting list" are
held at the local navy recruiting sta
ton. AS soon as the new manpower
bill has passed and orders are re-
ceived by Shipfitter A. w. Hierholzer,
the ban on recruiting will be lifted
and the sninety-three men now on the
list will be rushed to Kansas City
for enlistment
Orders to the effect that no more
men should be enlisted for the navy
until further notice were received by
Shipfitter Hierholzer August Z. He
then announced that whoever wished
to do. so might take the examina-
ton and have their names placed on
the waiting list. The responce was
as pleasing as it was unexpected and
the system adopted will save the local
office from the rush that would nat
urally have come following the an
nouncement that recruiting was re-
Sumed.
