Tom Brown to Ed Brown was fraudu-
lent, because it was done to avoid the
collection of the bond. Tom Brown
is supposed to be worth about 100000
and received nearly $1,000 from his
brother in the conveyance of the prop
erty. The court ordered that the at
tachuent should stand. and the, prop
erty may be sold to pay Browns share
of the bond.
John @. Royce, of Wichita, will re-
cover a Judgment of $3s333.37 from
the Farmers Life Insurance COM
pany. The supreme court held IN this
case that an agent employed by an
insurance company under contract
fixing his compensation for definite
period of time. who is continued in
employ after the period expires. is en-
titled to the compensation in the orig
inal contract.
Whether coal oil sold by the Uncle
Sam Oil company was gasoline which
resulted in an explosion of a coal oil
lamp is a matter which the supreme
court and the Sedgwick county district
court failed to agree upon. The su-
preme court reversed the decision of
the Sedgwick county district court,
which had allowed damages to
Hortense Patterson against the Uncle
Sam Oil company for the explosion of
a coal oil lamp. 1t was shown that
the same dealer from whom the
woman had bought the coal oil sold
gasoline at about the same time which
proved to contain kerosene.

TICE GIVES ENGINE FACTS
Former Topckan Shows Locomotives
Lose $S4.S1 a Day in U. S.


Washington. July 1O.-Each rail-
road locomotive in the United States
costs its company $S4.S1 a day more
to operate than the revenue it yields
in return.
Indirectly. that means the govern
ment suffers the loss. For the gov
eminent guaranteed to maintain the
railroads income for six months after
they were again put under private
control-until September l. After
that, higher freight rates will make
up the present deficits.
The results of a detailed inYestiga-
ton into the railroad situation were
given by H. H. Tice of the Emerson
engineering counselors. The investi-
cation, made with railroad statistics
on file with the interstate commerce
commission, was for the purpose of
putting figures into a form under
standable by persons other than rail-
road experts.
The basis of the survey was the Of
fetal estimate of $1,9S4,1 O6,713 loss
on all railroads in 1919 and 64,100 IN
gines used by these roads, the engines
being considered the unit of opera
ton.
Harold H. Tice is we'll known in To-
peka. He is a graduate of the Topeka
high school, 1904, and Washburn col
lege, 1908. He is a member of the
Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Tice was
active in Washburn in social and ath-
letic affairs and his state record for
the 100-yard dash has stood in Kansas
college circles since 1907. He is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Tice. who
lived in Topeka many years. Mr.. H
A. Tice now is superintendent of the
Colorado division of the Santa Fe at
Pueblo and Mrs. Tice today is guest
of her daughter. Mrs. ]. D. Gossett

Following his graduation from
Washburn Harold Tice Joined the ef-
ficiency department of the Santa Fe in
Topeka. His work attracted eff
cheney experts in the east and he was
placed out on assignments among rail-
ways all over the country. For the
last few years he has been with the
Emerson concern and has handled
manufacturing and Industrial systems
in the east. south and middle west.
Tice is at Washington now in connec-
ton with railway statistics.
