VERDICT IS REDUCED.
Justice Mccoy Cuts Damage
Awarded $4,000,

Chief Justice Mccoy saved the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company $1,000 yesterday, when he
reduced by that amount verdict
rendered be a jury in Circuit Di-
vision l last February in favor of
Mary E. Thornton. who was injured
while alighinS from a car of the
company November Is. 1916, on Co
lumbia road. The jury placed the
damages at $500, but the company
asked for new trial, claiming, with
other things, that the verdict was
excessive.
The CHIEF, justice declared that he
was forced tot the conclusion that
the verdict was excessive and should
be reduced to $3,500." If the plain
tiff accepts the diminished verdict
the motion for a new trial will be
denied, otherwise the case will have
to be retired. Attorney Alvin l..
Newmyer represented the plaintifr,
while Attorney Roger J. Whiteford
appeared for the company.

tanned by earthly means, all the coal
in existence would be consumed In q
tenth of a second.
Another famous astronomer in his
day, Richard A. Proctor, explained
the total heat Of the sun In another
way. He said It was equal to that
which would result from burning
something like 100000 tons Of coal
per second, and it's heat would be
strong enough to melt not far short
of three trillion tons of ice In an
hour. But of this almost unthinkable
force of heat the earth receives but
a small proportion. only about one
in two thousand millions OF solar
rays.

While washingtonians are some
times inclined to grumble over the

STEELS AND RAILS
RELATIVELY. STEADY
RY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, August 15.-Thers were
two items in the oyer-Sunday news
which threw a ray of brightness into
the depressed condition of the mar
kets. One was the word that some OF
the steel mills which have been idle
or on part time for three months past
were about to resume operations.
The other was the dispatches from
Washington suggesting that tbs pres
sure from administration quarters to
pass, the railway funding bill before
the proposed recess would be success-
to forego vacation entirely il the
obstructionists are to have their way
The steel news was Particularly inn
portant. because it fitted in with the
impression which had been gradually
forming for a week or more, that July
which saw record low for steel pro-
duetion, also saw the bottom of tbs
downward movement, both in output
and in prices.
Steel stocks were helped by thssa
advices from the manufacturing cen
ters to the extent that they yielded
very reluctantly to the selling in
other quarters. The same was trAe
of the rails, in which hope was re.
vised of early action on the, relief
bill.
The market as whole was still
dominated by the weakness in a scors
Or so or industrial l6SQeg IN all 81
which there was the argument of un-
relieved trade depression or else nm
favorable earnings statements in
prospect, or again where adverse &C.
tion was expected on dividends.
The weakness in U. s. Rubber was
again the most serious in the preferred
stock. which dropped Oft until it was
selling twelve points under its quota
ton of last Friday. Col Colts death
may have had some sentimental inflY-
ence, but there was no pferense that thf
Such q thing before the viii was eyer
admitted TO probate would have been
unheard of.
The whole reason for the break in thu
rubbers was simply that tomefrsW's
earnings statement for the first sis
months will make very bad showing

deaeit that is expected has been moi
