SUPERIOR COURT

WaterNlile. June is.
Court came in at $50 o'clock this
morning. The first case in order for
trial was No. 254 Leontine I.arouche
VS.. Martha E. Roundy. Both parties
resided in Waterville at the time of
the transaction involved in the suit
e. e. Peacock, Esq. appeared for plain
tiff, and Messrs. Andrews, Nelson and
Gardiner represented the defendant.
This is suit for damages claimed
to have been sustained by the plain
tiff by falling down the cellar stairs
in tenement owned by the defend
ant in April, 1920. The claim of the
plaintiff is that the stairs were defec-
tive, and by reason of the defect she
fell and was seriously and perma-
nently injured.
With this case is being tried the
suit of the husband, Charles j. La
rouche, against the same defendant.
The husband sues for the loss of the
services of his wife, medicine and
medical attendance, nursing and extra
help employed, and for his loss of
time.
The plaintiff and his wife testified
during the morning session. And a
neighbor. Mr.. Wheeler, who lived in
the same house and heard Mrs. La
rouche's outcries at the time of the
accident and went to her assistance,
also told his story of finding Mrs. La
rouche at the foot of the stairs, pick
ing her up and taking her to her apart
ment.
Mrs. Larouche testified that her hip
was broken by the fall, and suhse-
quently she was placed in plaster
paris cast for six weeks. She was
using q crutch today, and stated that
she had to use it ali the time.
The case will probably occupy the
attention of court and jury until Mon
day afternoon or Tuesday forenoon.

Not to Reduce
Forces in Hawaii
and Canal Zone

Boston. June 1S.-The forces on
duty in Hawaii and in the Canal Zone
will be maintained at present strength,
Secretary of War Weeks said here to-
day, Notwithstanding reduction in the
standing army. He had just left con-
ference with Brig. Gen. Mark l.. Her
sey, acting commandant of the First
Corps Area, regarding the extent of
the retrenchment in this district.
Explaining that economy was neces-
sary as a result of recent COMPRESSION
al action, the secretary discussed the
effect of the policy.
AS the army exists today is consists
of approximately 100000 men. This
number is to be reduced to 10000 OF
whom probably 100000 belong TO the
coast defence, the air. the chemical
warfare and other similar and allied
services, including it's forces in Ger
many and in foreign possession This
leaves a bare $4,000 men To be dis
tributed throughout the nine army
areas made up of camps and stations.
1t is easy to understand, under these
circumstances, why there must be a
general shifting of forces that will re-
suit in at least a garrison force to act
as caretakers of government property
iii each of the camps.
Referring to the force of 1900 men
now at Hawaii, Secretary Weeks said:
There is a good reason for these
men being at Hawaii and a good rea-
son for their staying there. Under my
administration of the affairs of the
war office their number will not be re-
duced if l can help it.. nor will the
number stationed at the Panama Zone
be lessened for the same general rca-
SON."
The secretary said he favored repeal
of the war time regulation that army
officers should appear in uniform at
ell times. and indicated that a revision
of this rule would be considered short
ly.
