PARIS SEWERS OPEN TO ~"

be looked on everywhere as social
event, invitation to which would be

but the formal opening of the Paris
sewers today was such an affair. Ad-
mission was by card only and i'm
portant American Army officers were
eager applicants for the cards.
The sewers of Paris, which are ia
nous in both history and literature.
have been closed since the beginning
of the world war. In the meantime
thousands Of Americans have applied
in vain for permission to inspect the
sewers-some OF them civil engineers
interested in the structural problems
worked out in the system, some of
them Students of literature who
wished to inspect the places in which
Jean Vatican t46 hid from Injustice.
Since the war ended, sightseeing
has been one OF the biggest Jobs Of
the welfare societies in Paris. The
Y.M.C.A. alone entertains 10000 mem

Mrs. Prouty Loses Case
Gets Nothing for Death of Husband
in $500, 900 Suit

A verdict frothe defendant was re-
turned at II o'clock Saturday night
in the suits of Mrs Henrietta Prouty
widow of ex-Gov. Geo. Prouty of
! Newport, to recover 100000 from
the Grand Trunck road as the result
of the alte ex-Governor's death on
the railroad crossing at Lennoxville,
Que, last August. The jury was out
nine hours.
The suit of the chauffer, Blay, to
recover 100000 for injuries, will be
tried as soon as jury can be secur-
ed.
Mrs. Prouty was not in court when
the verdict was returned. 1t is be-
leived an appeal will be made, though
no statement was made to that effect
The suit was the largest of the kind
ever brought in the state.
CA. Prouty, director of the div
ision Of accounting of the United
States railroad administration, re
turned to Washington Saturday night
Counsel for the Grand Trunk, John
W. Redmond, will again clash with
Attorneys Ward Prouty and Farman
in Blay's suit. Counsel Redmond con-
cluded his plea Saturday morning at
1880. He argued that ex governor
was suffering from an incurable case
of diabetes and that his certain death
would have cut off the widows in
come. The theme of his plea was
that if Mr. Prouty had continued to
lavish money upon his wife for lux
uries he would s6or be bankrupt.
Attorney Charles A. Prouty, a man
past 70 years, who has not addressed
jury for quarter century, said
that The keystone Of Redmond's Whole
argument was that the Prouty car
was speeding recklessly. While in
the midst Of his proof that the car
was not speeding, Redmond suddenly
broke in upon him. ProuJy assert
ed that Il was his theory thai the eRgi
neer, only sounded his whistle after
the collision in order TO conceal his
negligence in not blowing it before.
eff that automatic bell had lived in
the days of Cotton Mather it would
have been indicted for witchcraft. 1t
was guilty of every vagary. At the
time of the accident it seemed to have
iously broke in again and again upon
the plea. and could>be subdued with
had spasm of virture and va ring
ing. Attorney Redmond unceremon
difficulty by Judge Howe.
A recess of ten minutes was de-
clared before the court, summing 70
all the evidence, made the charge to
the jury, the foreman of which was
Guy P. Metcalf of St Johnsbury.

That powerful sentiment is dew
eloping among farmers, ,dairyman, ,and
cattle breeders in every section of the
country fer the early and complete
eradication ofanimal tuberculosis is
shown by hundreds Of letters receiv-

plan of fighting tuberculosis in which
the Pureau c. Animal Industry is CO.

FARRELL for many years did the lead

The plank road running from Fay

large measure of it's patronage
which was increased when the North
Carolina railroad, now a part of the
main line system of the Southern, was
constructed shortly before the out
break of the war between the states.
1t has caught fire several times dur

burn has caused many superstitiOus
persons to believe that 1t is fire proof
although it is entirely of wood.
