Wednesday evening at eight o'clock
after being out four hours and half
the jury returned a verdict in the
case of Mabel Leith versus Israel
Perrier, in favor of the plaintiff, al
lowing her to recover $527.85.
The case was one termed, a suit
in trover in which Mabel Leith
sought to recover the value of GER
tain personal property of Israel Per-
rier who had converted it to his own
use. 1t appeared in the trial that
the defendant Perrier came down
from Canada in the spring of 1921
and worked for Mrs. Leith during
sugaring on her farm, known as the
George Cummings place, in the town
of West Charleston. That during
the month of April deal was made
whereby Mr.. Perrier was to lease
her farm for period of three years.
Evidence was introduced tending to
show that there was some understand
ing between the parties in making
the trade that was not included in the
lease that was drawn up at Island
Pond.
One matter was a pile of wood
estimated from rs to 100 cords, there
were also few logs in question and
the household goods of Mrs. Leith.
The defense endeavored to show
that the defendent was to have the
use of the furniture during the ex-
piration of the lease and the wood
was to be replaced and some of the
logs sawed into planks for barn i'm
provements.
This was all denied by the plain
tiff and on refusal of the defendant
to give up the wood and furniture
she brought suit to recover their
value.
In arriving at the verdict the jury
in summing the evidence allowed for
Is cords of wood at $3.50 per cord
$187.50 they also allowed on lumber
a lump sum of $780, The household
furniture was figured at $500, upon
the court instructions that if they
found the plaintiff should recover, in
terest could be added from the date
the demand for the property was
made, up to the date of the opening
of court, this they figured as $1O35
and the verdict announced by their
foreman G. M. Hitchcock was $527.85.
The plaintiff was represented by
A. w. Farman and w. w. Reirden of
Barton and E. r. Cook of Orleans
were counsel for the defendant.

MAJ. GEN. WOOD DECIDES TO
 REMAIN IN PHILIPPINES

Washington, Dec. 7.-Naior General Leonard Wood, governor general of the Philippine islands, has decided to remain at his present post and not to accept the offer made by the University of Penn syvania to be the provost of that Institu- tion, according to information received here today by administration officials.
 War department officials declined to make formal announcement of General Woods decision. but it was said in Secre- tary Weeks office that an announcement probably would be made tomorrow.
 Previously General Wood had made request of the University for an exten> sion of time beore assuming the office of provost in order to sec the completion of the legislative program he had spon- sored in the Philippines. It was ex- pected that the Philippine legislature would enact reorganization proposals soon after January l. hut 1t is now un- derstood that the legislature and other governmental machinery have failed to function as rapidly as was anticipated Certain features of the program which General Wood put forward. will be under consideration for some time before they are finally made effective.

Senate Compromise
 or Shipping Bill
Committee Measure Would Give Congress Control of Amount of Government
 Aid.

'- Washington, .Decs<7.-The administra- tion shipping bill found slightly smoother going today In the senate commerce con- mittee.s and Chairman Jones tonight ex- pressed the belief that favorable report to the senate would be voted Saturday.
 The committee worked on the measure for more than five hours divided between a morning and an afternoon session and when adjournment was taken tentative appro ral had been given to approximately the first half ofkthe bill as it was passed by the house. rife principal sections pass ed upon included the taxation provision n, the consideration of which the commit tee had tie aid of two tax experts from the treasury department.
 Consideration also was given to the direct aid sections and tae committee completed the provisions setting forth the scale of compensation to be allowed prt- yate companies.
 Scarcely no attention, however. was given today to the controversial Madden amendment which subjects extension of government aid to control by congress. This amendment, which was attached by the house, continued to be the principal obstruction to an agreement among sup porters of the legislation in the commit tee, but one republican member who has been considered as likely to stand with President Harding and Chairman Jones ! for elinl nation of the amendment said he expected to be rejected and the Lenroot- : McNary-Willis compromise subst tut d l This compromise would give congress con. trol only over increases and .decreaseS by the shipping board in the amount of gov ernment aid.

RUSSIANS STILL OBsTRUCT e.-
 SETTLEMENT ON STRAITS

Lausanne, Dec. (By the A. P3- The Russian delegation, it is reported tonight, continues strongly to oppose the entente plan, and it is even sad that the Russians will refuse to sign any agreement relative to the opening Of the straits to the warships of all na- tions.
 The counter propositions which the Turks are expected to make tomorrow regarding the straits will deal, among other things, with ConstantInople, aad anything calculated to infringe TurfiSlr sovereignty over Constantinople w,n probably lead to strong objections. The --ngora spokesmen said tonight that there was a probability Turkey would oppose international control there in any form and remonstrate against the allied plan for a fixed garrison of 10.- 900 !n Constantinople. Everything the Turks say, comes back to the question of their. sovereignty and their. ,determi- nation to have it respected.
 This strong national spirit is what makes the settlement of the question of capitulations difficult.
 After alI,'' said one Of the Turkish leaders tonight, 't is only the Russians who understood the new Turkish men tality and who realize that real. inoe- pendence has become an obsession, and anything. which clashes with our righr to run: our country will be bitterly, op- posed"
 The American stand for the opening of the straits has clearly impressed the Turks. and Americas word will doIht- less weigh strong when the time to sec tie the straits problem arrives.

VERDICT or s4ss.eOo FOR
 MRS. D0RRIT s. WooDHoUsE

Burlington, Vt. Dec. "A jury of farmers today set at e$465,000 the dam ages due Mrs. Dorrit. s. Woodhouse from her wealthy parents-at-Iaw, AIr. and Mrs Lorenzo U Woodhouse, of New York and this city. She had sued them for mil lion dollars, alleging that they had alien ated the affections of her young husband, C. Douglas .Woodhouse, who is now at Reno. New. seeking divorce. The award is one of the largest ever returned in such cases.
 Counsel for the cider woodhouses im- mediately moved that the verdict be set aside. Arguments on their appeal will be heard later.
 The jury was out forty hours. It ap- peSred that their long deliberations were largely over the amount of damages. Counsel for the plaintiff had developed testimony that the defendants were worth approximately a million and a half dol lars. Of the $4S5 900 awarded, $400.e0o was given as actual darnag to the young wife, and s65, ,O0O as punitive award
 The romance of young Woodhouse with the "poor little girl' who lived next door was fairly familiar to Burlington people before the trial,1in which was re-told the circumstance of their meeting at a col lege prom, the courtship and marriage While WoOdhouSe was at an army camp in 1s1s- and their separation little more than a. year later. |
 Mrs. Dorrit Woodhouse introduced evil dence that her parents-at-law had snub- bed her, had inspired and supported thei. son In. his separation from her, and had encouraged an affair between him and Mrs Lillian H. Mcclellan of Washington D. C.. which led to an engagement while he was stin married. Mrs. Mcclellan, ir deposition. said she broke off this en. gasement when she learned that Wood. house had not been divorced. Young Woodhonse did not appear dur. ing the trial. In which 1t developed that he was in residence at Reno. He sent q deposition in which each side found state. ments construed as favorable to thel1 contentious.
 The defense of the elder woodhouses was that they had treated their daugh. ter-in-law as well as they felt she wal entitled to be treated. that she had mar. ried their son for his money, and that hs had acted on his own initiative in sep. arating from her.

New York, Dec. IA federal law reg ulating the operation of airplanes and the creation of bureau. of civil aeronautics in the department of commerce, were re- commended today at the aeronautical session of the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers. Immediate legialtion to provide government aid in blazing air trails and establishing ground organi- zations of private aircraft operations al- 50 were urged.
 Ralph E. Upson of Detroit, discussing 'the airship for long-haul heavy traffic service" said the New York-Chicago route, which Is so favorable in other re- spects was the worst in the country from a weather standpoint.
 "A nightly twelve-hour service in both directions can be maintained 100 per cent lon schedule for six months season,"-sfle said. For the. full year, however, the on-time trips would be cut to about 93 per cent An average of four per cent of the trips would probably be postponed or cancelled on adyance motive, Ito enable prospective passengers to go by train. The technical requirements of such service are fairly cleaf, but the business side of 1t present. one of the hardest problems that has ever come up. ''
 sUpson pointed out that, .swhiie a fire danger obviously exists, at has been greatly exaggerated. No regular pas kenger trips on an airships line ever has been lost. he declared, and no afrship aside from military and experimentai ones, has, ever burned in ithe afr Sea- planes, he asserted, have carried approxi- mately 10000 passengers for more than 5,o00 900 miles withoutS a fatality CT serious injury. |
