CARBUNCLE BASIS
OF SUIT FOR $500
Woman Claims Reimbursement
for Attending Sick Boarder

An accusation that the plaintiff
was endeavoring to fleece the de-
PENDANT out of a sum of money was
made today by counsel for the de-
Tense. L. ]. Colon. during the trial
OF the action of Mrs. Mary Baron
against John Ziola in city court be-
tore Judge Henry P. Roche.
Mrs Baron brought action against
her former boarder to recover $500
which she claims. is due her for
services rendered to the defendant
while he was sick, the claim being
that she took care of him for three
months, bought medicines. bandag-
es, dressed his wound and fed him.
for which she alleged he paid her
only $40. after having agreed to pay
her a nominal charge. This was be-
tween February and June. 1924.
Had Carbuncle On Neck
From the testimony OF other wit
nesses 1t appeared that Ziola was
inflicted with a carbuncle on his
neck and that the late DR.. E. I. Fro
men. after examining him. suggest
ed that he go to the hospital, which
according to the testimony of the
defendant, he wanted to do. but was
prevented after Mrs. Baron confided
in him that she could take just as
good care OF him at home.
The case was reported to the
Visiting Nurse association and
nurses were sent there on different
occasions, which was brought out in
evidence by the defense, when Miss
Rachel Colby testified that the as
ISOLATION took care Of him from June
until August as evidenced by a rec
ord card. Further testimony re-
vealed that the defendant. after re-
covering from his illness. paid Mrs.
Baron SIS, which. 1t Is alleged she
accepted. stating that the amount
was sufficient reimbursement for her
services. In the action she claimed
the sum Of SIS per week and testi-
fed on the stand that he owed her
for board for the time he was ill at
IS per month, which. she claimed.
he did not pay as he had no money.
Had $500 In Cash
On the other hand evidence was
that at the time Ziolo
was sick. he had $500 with him and
money deposited in a bank. which
fact was substantiated by producing
a deposit book as evidence. The
testimony of the witnesses was con-
flictlng as to the exact time the de-
PENDANT was sick. None agreed with
the record card of the Nurses asso-
citation.
In summing up the case. the de-
tense stated that 1t was just, a case
OF trying to land sucker" and
fleeing him out of his money, while
counsel for the plaintiff. ]. r. Lacey.
argued that sufficient evidence was
produced to show that the plaintiff
rendered services and was entitled to
a reasonable fee. Judge Roche re-
served decision.

ISSUES A WARNING
Daily News Says France Won't
Leave Rhineland Except Under
Dangerous or Impossible Terms"

London, Sept. Is R-The Daily
News, LIBERAL today uttered a
warning to France in regard to the
latters attitude towards evacuation
of the Rhineland.
Though her own military ex-
perts now attach little Importance
to occupation, France refuses to
withdraw except on dangerous, fan
tastic and probably impossible
terms" said the editorial.
France appears to have forgot
ten that there Is a British end TO
the argument. Britain signed the
Locarno pact on the definite under
standing that there should be an
organized attempt to promote good
will between France and Germany,
and that the occupation of the
Rhineland should be abandoned at
the earliest possible moment.
Let France be warned. If the
Locarno pact is not to become a
dead letter, its essential conditions
must be honored in the spirit as
we'll as the letter. France cannot
have it both ways

FRANKLIN SQUARE DINER
NAY Be PUT IN PLACE
Remonstrance Against Lunch Cart
Reported To Be Weakened By
Zoning Laws.

Declaration by George T. Kimball,
president of the American Hardware
Corporation and member Of the
board of adjustment, that he will not
support a petition for a zone change
to restrict lunch carts from Frank
lin square. and a feeling on the part
of some OF the remonstrants that .
change that would limit them to
two-family dwellings is too restric-
tive. was reported today to be likely
to doom opposition to J. J. Dillon's
plan to place diner at Franklin
square and Pearl street.
Although it was generally sup
posed that the request for a zone
change would act as stay and pro-
hibit the installation of a lunch cart
at Pearl street, the information
furnished to the petitioners that the
change desired would not accom-
plish this end, threw a different light
on the case. Since the change to
residence c. the zone mentioned IN
the petition. would not prohibit din
ers. several city officials agreed to-
day that Mr.. Dillon may proceed
should he see fit.

would not get very far with this

accede to his wishes and hold the
matter up until such time as he is
convinced of the necessity for early
action.
