in a suit arising out of an alleged
violation of an insurance contract,
appealed today from the court of
Justice Carstens to Moline city

some insurance to Nordmark and
that Nordmark gave him a note to
cover the premium. Nordmark was
to be examined later to see if he
was physically qualified. McDan-
nell claimed that Nordmark passed
the examination but failed to pay
the insurance premium or note.
Nordmark is said to claim that
there is some misunderstanding

dent Frank T. Hulswitt Of the Unit
ed Light & Railways company. here
yesterday with other company Off
Gals attending an executive com
mittee meeting Of the Tri-City Rail
way & Light company, sees little
probability Of development OF local
traction lines during the coming
year. "It is a question Of exist
ence rather than development"
says Mr.. Hulswitt. Higher car
fares are not making the Tri-City
Railway company wealthy. The in
crease only takes care Of increased
trainmen's wages and cost OF ma
terials.'
Deny Right to Intervene.-Deny-
ing that Bessie Raben has the right
to intervene in an action brought
by John T. Dempsey against H. P.
Estes, the attorneys for the plain
tiff have filed motion to strike out
the intervenor. The motion which
is filed by Sharon, Harrison & Nc
Swiggin compIicates a case already.
beautifully complicated. The claim
that Mrs. Raben is too late as an
intervenor and that she does not
come under the law which makes
room for intervention in l:tiga-
ton of this kind is based on pro-
vision of the statute which declares
that the intervenor can enter a case
in intervention either on the side
of the plaintiff or the defendant if
interested in the case.
