waterville. Nov. y.
Court came in at 10 o'clock this
morning and the case started Satur-
day, Farris vs. Cunliffe, was resumed.
Several more witnesses werefput on
the stand and testified in relation to
the speed Of the cars, tracks in the
road when the accident occurred. and
the damage % the cars. -
The testimony was finished at $40
o'clock this afternoon. In his closing
argument for the defense, Mr.. Fol-
som claimed the testimony had shown
that Mr.. Farris was not in the exer-
else Of due care in driving on the
public highwa&sKith plain glass. len
SOS over his lfEnts; that both parties
agreed they were driving at about ?
or 10 miles per hour. His theory of
the accident was that as the plaintiff
had just come down one hill, he
naturally gathered some momentum.
and undoubtedly was going p the hill
about as fast as he could go: that the
cars met with side swipe. the de-
PENDANTS car had the hub knocked on
of the left front wheel, and the wish
hone slightly bent. that the plaintiffs
car ran on. he lost control and ran
into the bank and there the damage
was done to his car.
Plaintiffs theory as evolved from
the testimony by Mr.. Maher was that
defendant was entirely to blame, as
shown by the silent witness, marks
in the road and. the sort Of damage
done to plaintiffs car; that plaintiff
was on his side Of the road. and de-
PENDANTS car was zig Tagging down

ASKS COURT BAN
ON INTERFERENCE
WITH MIAMI CABLE

Washington. Nov. 22-The Western
Union Telegraph Company applied
to the District of Columbia supreme
court today for an injunction to re-
strain Secretary Daniels from inter-
fering in the construction of a cable
between Miami and Miami Beach,
Fla. The company also asked the
court to require the secretary to in
struct subordinate officials to cease
threatening to destroy the cable if
laid, The petition pointed out that
the injunction would cover q differ
ent cable line than the Barbados
cable. the laying of which was pre-
vented several months ago by the
sending o fwarships to Miami.
The Western Union company fur
Their declared that the cable now in
course of construction was a replace
ment OF an existing line, which has
been in operation since 1899, that
100000 already had been spent in
the work and that this expenditure
would. go for naught unless the navy
department weer enjoined from en-
terfering with the completion of the
work
The Western Union also presented
the claim that it had the right to con-
struct the cable in question under the
authority of the act of 1866 and un-
der a permit from the secretary of
war granted under the act of 1899
after the company's plans had been
approved by the war department.
The line between the two points was
detoured in 1917, the court was told.
TO permit of certain dredging in the
bay.
Last February on the completion of
the million dollar causeway between
Miami and Miami Beach the Western
Unionl aid its lire in a conduit with,
IN the causeway. When ii came time
TO connect the wires between the two
sides of the drawbridges in the cause
way. the company said. Rear Admiral
Anderson. the commandant of the
Miami district. compelled it's employees
to desist although the War Depart
ment had approved the plans for
passing the drawbridges.
Exhibition of the permit from Sec
rotary Baker. the court was told, had
no effect on the naval officer. and the
company was advised that the work
could not proceed until Washington
had directed such action. When the
matter as laid before Secretary Dan
iels. it as asserted, the action of the
naval commander was upheld and a
letter sent to the company. Oct. 80.
containing the notification that if the
lines were laid they would be cut.
Secretary Daniels said he had turn
ed the matter of the Western Unions
injunction proceeding over to the
solicitor of the department for inves-
tigation with instructions to report
tomorrow. He added that he was
working with the State department in
the cable matter and had issued in
structions to naval forces in the vi
cinity of Miami to prevent the landing
of any cable, either to Barbados or
elsewhere in that vicinity.
Secretary Baker said he had with
drawn permission previously granted
to the Western Union Company for
the laying of a cable between Miami
and Miami Beach, Florida This ac-
ton was taken, he said. in an effort to
help get the entire cable situation
cleared up.
