rights of fireman for excessive speed in

TENDER 9Th when be crashed into the
apparatus of the Edgerton fire depart
ment, resulting in the injury of Henry
Biessman, one of the firemen, and sew
eral others, according to decision by
Judge E. Ray Stevens in circuit court
at Madison Tuesdayslast weeks
A jury in circuit court awarded Mr..
Biessman $4,000 damages. The suit
was brought by the Travellers Insur-
ance company in which Biessman was
insured.
Judge Stevens held that Meyers was
at fault because he did not exercise or
binary care and that he drove his car
at an excessive speed. DR.. Meyers
was driving to aid the fire department
in making run at the time of the ac-
cident.
CDR. Meyers cannot claim the benefit
of exemption because he was not a
fireman." Judge Stevens ruled. ''He
was not member of the fire depart
ment and could not be considered de-
facto member until he was actually en-
gagged in the duty of hauling fire appar-
atus to fire.

Highway Trailer Complaint insufficient

Highway Trailer Complaint insufficient
The demurrer of the GAINESVILLE Elec-
trio company to the $3.50, 600 suit brought
against it by the Highway Trailer COM
pany, Edgerton, as the result of the
destruction of large part of its plant
on July 4, 1921, alleged to have been
due to negligence of employees of the
electric company, is sustained by Judge
George Grimm. The electric company
demurred on grounds that complaint
does not state facts sufficient to con-
stitute case for action against the de-
PENDANT.
The decision is an important one as
tbs the first case of its kind on record
in Wisconsin courts. On the filing OF
the demurrer the GAINESVILLE Electric
company, represented by Jefiris, Mouat,
Oestreich, Avery and Wood, withdrew
the answer which among other things
stated that the loss was covered by in
surance held by the plaintiff and that
the electric company at the time of the
fire had no contract with the Highway
Trailer company in reference to fire
protection.
The suit for damages was based or
the alleged responsibility of the com
pany when the Edgerton superinten-
dent, it was alleged, shut off the cleo
trio power controlling the water pump
ing as the fire which destroyed the mair
plant of the Trailer company was being
brought under control. Gazette.

Beginning Monday, July 17-"FOOl-
ish Wives" Local theatregoers with
knowledge of the fascinating game
of roulette probably will be surprised
when they see how roulette is played
in the glittering Monte Carlo scenes
of Foolish Wives" the million dollar
photodrama coming to the Opera
House for two nights beginning Mon
day, July II. Roulette as played at
Monte Carlo is considerably different
from the several styles of roulette
played in the United States. The
double zero, for instance, has been
eliminated from the wheels at Monte
Carlo. There are only 81 numbers,
and the player on a single number is
paid 35 to l. In backing two numbers
with single bet, the player is bank
ing one-eighteenth of the table and is
paid seventeen times his stake. In
backing four numbers he is paid for
one, if he wins. A "punter," as pix
ers are known in the lingo of the Sale
de Roulette at Monte Carlo, can play
one, two, three, four or six numbers
at once with single coin. He also
can bet on the first, second or third
twelve numbers, or on one of the three
columns of numbers, or on odd or even
or on the first eighteen or the last
eighteen numbers. The game is quite
complicated if the player knows how
20 use the combinations. A "punter'
may run up a small amount into thou
sands, as the Count is shown piling up
gains in Foolish Wives" but the odds
are always in favor of the table in the
long run. The game as shown in
Foolish Wives" is exactly according
to the rules and regulations of the
Monte Carlo Casino, former croupiers
at the gambling resort having been
engaged by Erich Won Stroheim, the
director, to reproduce the Sale de
Roulette accurately.

The senate finance committee will
BEGIN next week to redraft the tariff
bill, after holding hearings for many
weeks. One of the first questions to
be decided is whether the American
valuation plan will be adopted in as
sessing duties or a substitute plan
similar to that outlined by President
Harding in his message to congress
will prevail. The opinion Is frequent
ly expressed OF Capitol Hill hat the
American valuation plan will not be
Incorporated. Some hearings will be
held as late as the middle of January,
but they will be on specialties such
as vegetable oils. The hearings I'M

ic relations between nations at this
time are subject to changes that can-
not be anticipated, the Farm Bureau
suggests the need of a means of tariff
adjustment which will operate quick
ly and recommends that the powers
of the president or tariff commission
be extended SO that emergencies may
be met through the rapid adjustment
of tariffs within limits liked by con-

changes in the system of collecting
