S337,00O PR0UTY
SUIT IS BEGUN
Widow of Late Ex-Governor
Seeks Damages of Grand
Trunk

Newport, July s.-The consolidated
Elk Governor Prouty law suit involv.
ing 1897, 900 damages against the Grand
Trunk railroad opened here to-day in
the United States Court. Mrs. Prouty
asks 100000 damages for the death
Of her husband. which occurred when
the huge Packard twin-six carrying
him to Lennoxville. P. O., was struck
by a Grand Trunk work train in ths
early morning of August 10. 1913.
Damages of $1,000 are demanded for
the automobile which the shock of the
collision completely demolished.
James W. Blay is suing the railroad
for $4,000 damages on account of per-
sonal injuries. He was Mr.. Prouty's
chauffeur The attorneys for the
plaintiff are Prouty & Farman of New
port. The Hon. Charles A. Prouty Of
Washington, D. c.. former chairman
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. and director of the division Of
accounting of the United states Rail-
road Administration. is assisting the
firm of Prouty & Farman. John W.
Redmond of Newport, who has been
counsel for the Grand Trunk for sew
eral years, is defending the case.
Ex-Governor Prouty, with his chauf-
feur, James W. Blay, left Newport at
$40 on the morning of August 10.
1918, intending to motor to LennoX-
VILE. +. O.. where hefplanned to board
a train for Jackman, Me-, where were
located his lumber interests. About
two and one-half miles beyond Water
willie, a little low-lying mill town, nine
miles from the city of Sherbrooke the
Packard ran into thick fog, made
all the more dangerous by the blind
crossing at tn place. The automobile
was hit by the train and hurled away
for a distance of 60 feet.
The body of the ex-governor was
mutlated beyond recognition, being
identified only by papers in the coat
pocket Bleeding from wounds in the
head, the chauffeur was removed to a
hospital in Sherbrooke. where he suf-
fered from conclusion OF the brain
for several days.
The outcome OF the case hangs upon
whether or not the automatic electric
bell at the government crossing was
in working order or not. 1t is claimed
by the railroad that the bell was in
perfect working order, On the other
hand. the plaintiff bases her claim upon
these three points: a. The Grand
Trunk was negligent for allowing the
bell to be out of order. (2) Negligent
for driving the train so fast in the
thick fog. 80 Negligent for allow
ing the train to proceed when the
bell was out OF repair.
The case Is peculiar because of the
fact that Canadian laws will have
jurisdiction over the suit. owing to tho
fact that the accident occurred In the
Province of Quebec.

der conditions which could not exist in ac-
cordance with our constitution.
THE government of the United states

Mr.. Buliard. He proceeded to illustrate
his statement, citing the powers which we
have, the right to elect our own rulers.

Boys, your responsibility over there
was indeed great" he said. but you have
as great responsibility now. You are

Mr.. Billiard then hurled a note OF
defiance against those who would try
to injure the government in any way
and declared that such people ought To

Speaking Of the possibility OF perma'

In closing, Mr.. Billiard spoke of the
honor roll which was being dedicated al

There is nothing which Burlington car

tablet has been prepared and your name
Is on the honor roll. One day this honor
roll will perish, but you are not de

perpetuation of your fame. The things
