personal aggrandizement-so many
important men accustomed to max
ing speeches rarely get over it even
in so important a session as an in
dustrial conference. Reporters are
present by the scores and the
chance is too good to miss. That's
why already some are proposing
that the work be done in commit
tee to avoid superduous language.
But the inspiration comes in the
open sessions where the press cali

SETTLE $1,000
DAMAGE ACTION
ON $3.50 BASIS
John Leras, Victim in Accident
Near Car Barns, Wins Out In
Suit for Injuries.

a settlement has been reached
in the Leras-SIevin damage suit 10
recover $4,000 for injuries receiy-
ed in a midnight taxi collision.
John Leras was a passenger OF
Edward j. Slevin on July q, 1918,
when the taxicab was rammed by
a street car in front of the Tri-
City Railway company car barns in
Rock Island Slevin was appar-
emily dead when dragged out Of
the wreck Of his machine. II was
supposed that Leras would not sur
viye his injuries.
Slevin sued the street car com
pnay for $4,000 and lost the suit.
Leras sued Slevin for $4,000 and
this case has been compromised by
the attorneys.
Under the terms OF settlement,
Sleyin Is to paw Leras $3.50 and
Leras is to pay the court costs.
From $4,000 to $3.50 seems a stu
pendous drop. Still the outcome is
regarded as victory by both sides.
1t embraces the elements of defeat
for neither side The actual value
of a damage issue. measured in
dollars and cents. cannot be deter
mined by the size of the judgment
asked by a plaintiff The amount
of damages is usually placed high
enough TO cover all possible con
tingenCies.
Sleyin put up a dramatic fight
at the last term of the district
court in Davenport. This was the
case in which the element Of the
last chance" played a conspicuous
part, The idea is that the party
that has the last chance to prevent
accident and tragedy and fails to
use it is the responsible party and
liable for damages.
SIevin had the right side and
supposedly the safe side of the
street. but when he saw the street
car bearing down on him. he turn
ed into the clearing on the left
half Of the street to avoid being
bottled up by a network of side

made the remark:

was finally decided against Slevin.
In this alI-night vigil Juror Miller
made the alleged despairing cry:
Il cannot hold out much longer;

LEPROSY DURABLE
SAYS HOME DOCTOR
Physician in Charge of Colony
Corrects the Popular Inn
preston of the Disease

The popular conception of Ieprosy
as an incurable disease, highly conta-
gious and disfiguring, and Of a leper's
home as a chamber of horrors, is err
roneOus, according to DR.. Ralph Hop
kins, physician in charge Of the Lou
isiana Leper Home at CarviIle.
That leprOsy is durable has been
demonstrated for fifteen years by
the home, which during the past year
and half has cured eleven persons.
''The first person cured was child
fifteen years Of age" DIR. Hopkins
said. Since that time the home has
discharged a number Of cured pa
tients every year often several at
time, with almost no recurrence of
the disease.

COTTON
PREDICTED in SIGHT
Wanamaker Sees a Shortage
and Urges Growers to Hold
for Higher Prices

Predicting ''the greatest scarcity of
good grade cotton that has existed in
the last decade, and urging Southern
producers to hold their cotton until
the price advances to fifty cents a
pound, ]. Skottowe Wannamaker,
president of the American Cotton As
ISOLATION, gave his views on the cot
ton situation in Atlanta, aSturday.
''For four years we have been short
of potash in the South Atlantic states
and this is now having very disas-
trous effect upon cotton production, "
Mr.. Wanamaker said. "Crops in the
western section of the belt have suf-
fered from the excessive rains not
only because Of moisture, but because
of the large quantities of alkali re-
leased.
Leading experts of America and
England concur in the statement of
or experts that the world is facing a
cotton famine; that demand for cot
ton has enormously increased. Lead
ing manufacturers verify our state
ments that while the average con-
sumption of the world for the last ten
years has been 23,OOO,O00 bales a
year (of this the American crop be-
ing 100000 balesl, the world
needs at least $4,000, 900 bales; that
cotton production throughout the
world this year viii be enormously
short and that production within the
next several years will not meet any
thing like the demands.
Leading spinners confirm our
statement, that cotton at fifty cents
pound is the cheapest known commod-
ity for clothing, being cheaper than
wool, silk or linen.
