TWO BIG CASES SET
FOR FEDERAL COURT

Only two cases are on the civil dock
ct of the federal court for this week
but these two are important enough
TO consume nearly the entire time. The
first is the suit OF Molly Quirk, OF Mil
waukee, against the Bank Of Commerce
\ Trust company for u big share in
Patrick kallaher's estate.
The second case will be the second
trial of the suit of Matthew Harris. ne
gro, of Capleville, against ]. A. Riech-
man, former shelby county sheriff, and
several deputies, for injuries caused in
a raid, Harris sued for $50. 900 at tha
last term OF federal court and was
awarded S42, 800.
On Aug, rs, 1918 the United States
court OF appeals reversed the decision,
II IL set for Wednesday morning at 10
O'Clock.
Harris charges that Riechman's den.
utles shot him in the hip, after break
ing into his house. and beat him over
the head He charges they then ex-
ploded a charge Of dynamite under his
cabin, injuring him and his family. He
lost the sight of one eye. The depu-
ties say they were looking for some
else at the time.
The occurrence caused considerable
feeling at the time The deputies were
looking for Il de speCate negro, and
claim to have had evidence enough to
make them believe he was in Harris
home.

Mr.. Porter said Monday that his
plan is to put the supervision of the

He said he thought the Genera hospi-
tai should be the governing body, but
if he fails in getting that institution
to a supervision, he would then ask
that the city health department take
jurisdiction.
Mr.. Porter said something should be
done in the matter, as other munici-
palities raised money and established
such institutions and placed them un-
der municipal control and he can see
no reason why they should not be un-
der the control of the city at Mem

HAS SHIP STRIKE CURE
Director General Piez Announces
Government Policy Will Be to
Let Job Stand"

1t will be the policy of the govern
ment in shipyard strikes to let the
job stand" Charles Piez. director gen.
eral of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton, said today. He referred par
ticularly to the situation at Seattle.
where, he said, men had been out
for "a week, and at San Francisco
where he said it was reported work
erS in two trades intended to go out
shortly and tie up all the work in
the district.
Mr. Piez declared most of the yards
needed a breathing spell, that he did
not think the government could con-
tinue to furnish work at extremely
high wages unless increased skill and
output justified it and that, in his
view, it was highly unwise for ship
yard workers in their own interests to
call strikes at existing scales.
Fifteen per cent of the number of
vessels now under construction by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation may be
abandoned or sold in their unfinished
state according to a statement at the
board today. A complete survey of
the entire construction program is to
be made to determine whether the
vessels now under construction will
be desirable elements for the future
