DAMAGESAWARD
DIVIDES COURT
Majority Opinion Holds Physi-
clan Should Pay $4,000
to Woman.

The District Court Of Appeals was d.
vided today on the question of affirming
verdict for $4,000 damages awarded
in the District Supreme Court against
DR.. Edward ]. Cunning In favor Of Ger
trude L. Cooley, who claimed that he
poured acid into her ear when treat
ing her for an ear affection. The doctor
said he poured mineral oil into the
ear, which gave relief and did not burn
the patient. Attorneys Neumyer & King
appeared for the patient.
The majority opinion, written by
Chief Justice George E. Martin and
concurred in by Justice Van Orsdel,
sustained the verdict and Judgment
against the physician. This opinion de-
clared the case was properly submitted
to jury and presented question Of
fact which 1t was their province to de-
eide. The right to have the facts de-
termined by the jury, the majority
opinion asserts, ceases only when but
one reasonable view can be taken of
the evidence and of IT'S every intend
ment, and that view is utterly opposed
to the plaintiffs RICH. to recover.
1.-THE profession of medicine will be-
come hazardous" said Justice Charles
H. Robb in dissenting opinion, 'if
judgments such as these are to be sus-
tanned" Justice Robb asserts that the
testimony of the plaintiff was almost
completely discredited through the tes-
timony of an intelligent and disinter-
ested witness who was present on the
occasion when the acid was supposed
to have been put in PLAINTIFFS ear.
1.-The majority opinion." continues
Justice Robb. Estates that the evidence
was circumstantial. In my opinion
there is no basis for the verdict and the
jury ought not to have been permitted
to guess away the reputation and money

FINE REFUND WRIT
UPHELD BY COURT
McCarl Ordered to Draw Voucher
for Payment in Immigra-
ton Case.

A writ of mandamus ordered some
months ago by the District Supreme
Court against j. r. McCarl, controller
general of the United States, to compel
him to certify to the Treasury Depart
ment voucher for $1,000 for refund
of an immigration fine, was upheld to-
day by the District Court of Appeals in
an opinion by Chief Justice George E..
Martin. The fine had been assessed
to, an Italian corporation, which owned
the steamship Mario, from which seven
seaman escaped while the vessel was
locked at New Orleans, November 20,
1924.
After the escape of the men the YES
sci was permitted to leave port and
later put into Norfolk to coal. Here
immigration officials insisted on the
payment of the fine and payment was
made by the Smokeless Coal Co. for
the owner of the vessel. Investigation
by the Immigration Bureau disclosed
that the fine had been collected by
error and the Secretary of Labor au-
tIorized refund. McCarl refused to
certify the voucher and the owner and
the coal company brought suit for
mandamus.
McCarl opposed the mandamus, de-
claring that the court lacked jur1sdic-
ton to review his action because 1t re-
quired an exercise of judicial discretion.
The lower court held against him and
he appealed.
In affirming the action of the lower
court the appellate tribunal declared
that McCarl was called on only to per-
form a purely ministerial duty after
immigration authorities had decided
that the fine had been collected in error
and as the proceeding related solely to
the disposition of funds which Congress
had appropriated for the refunding of
immigration fines -

countries. 1t appeared as a practical
way of quickly clearing up hating
negotiations for treaty of non-aggres-
sion, but when Poland learned that the
same proposal had been made to
Lithuania she saw in the plan pos
sibility that the Soviet was maneuver-
ing to become mediator in the acri-

pute.
The Kellogg pact also was proposed
to Rumania, and Bucharest said that it
looked good as virtual recognition by
Russia of the attachment of Bessarabia

An interesting sidelight of the Baltic

VICTORY FORESEEN
FOR KELLOGG PACT
Borah and Swanson, Treaty's
Chief Backers, Predict Rati-
fication This Week.
BY the Associated Press.


Confident of the votes, Chairman
Borah of the foreign relations COM
mittee was pressing the Kellogg anti
war treaty today before the Senate in
the hope of obtaining final action this
week.
Advocates Of the treaty, led by SEN
ators Borah, and Swanson, Democrat,
of Virginia, have placed their case be-
fore the Senate, and debate will be
left largely to the opposition hereafter.
Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri
Is the outstanding opponent of the pact,
but he is going to concentrate his eff
forts on obtaining the adoption of the
interpretative resolution composed by
himself and Senator Moses, Republican,
of New Hampshire.
Concede Ratification of Treaty.
How much strength the resolution
lists" can command was doubtful today,
but they have abandoned any hope of
defeating the ratification of the pact it
self. However. the treaty advocates are
just as anxious that the pact be rati-
fed without the accompanying resolu-
ton.
Negotiations have been going on look
ing to a compromise whereby a state
ment could be recorded of Americas
interpretations of her rights in con-
nection with adherence to the treaty
without the necessity of an accompany
ing resolution. Should these discussions
be successful, Senate leaders look for an
early solution of the entire treaty queS-
ton and its early approval.
Compromise Outlined.
@The compromise proposal now under
consideration calls for report from the
foreign relations committee stating its
views on the treaty as respects the right
of America to maintain the Monroe
Doctrine.
1t is believed by those who look
skeptically on the interpretative note of
Great Britain that such report would
serve the same purpose as the British
note.

SALVATION ARMY
RULE IS AT STAKE
Majority for Booth Removal
Indicated on Eve of Lon
don Meeting.

-
LONDON, January There was an
air of suppressed excitement today at
the headquarters of the American dele
gates to the high council of the Saliva
ton Army, where preparations were
being made for tomorrow's momentous
meeting, which will decide the question
Of the future leadership of the army.
Officers were coming and going con-
stantly for conferences with Evangeline
Booth, the American commander. Her
official spokesman declined to see any
one, and it was obvious that the ex-
IRENE delicacy of the situation was
realized in all quarters.
Family Complications.
The family aspect of the situation
complicated decision on whether Gen.
Bramwen Booth will continue to lead
the army although majority of the
commissioners were agreed that the
larger issue of the army's future was
the predominant one.
1t was claimed today among those
favoring the removal of Gen. Booth,
that majority now favors such a step
and formation of a new and Demo-
cratic government. 1t was regarded by
them as certain, however. that Mrs.
Bramwell Booth and her daughter,
Miss Catherine, would canvass votes
for the present head of the army in
order to increase the nine sure votes
that he now possesses. These nine
consist of his wife, his daughters,
Catherine and Col. Mary Booth. and
Commissioner Lucy Booth Hellberg,
and Commissioners Laurie, Cunning
ham, Smith, Blowers and Kitching of
the international headquarters.
Several councillors said that the re-
form movement had greatly gathered
force in the past week. They expect
this will result in the overwhelming

suggestion that there has risen a

Optimism and pessimism commended
for supremacy in many of the interna-
tional affairs of last week, especially so
far as Germanys ability to pay for the
World War was concerned. Baltic polit-
ical circles, midas NationaliStic move
ment and the disturbed conditions in
AfghaniStan reflected the same sort OF
contention.
An exception was the rapid clearing
up of the Pan American Conference at
Washington, with acceptance by Bolivia
and Paraguay of mediation in their
border fighting and framing of multi
lateral pacts for compulsory arbitration
of international disputes In the west
ern Hemisphere.
Although at the end of the week
Germany was in a calmer frame OF
mind over the annual report of S. Par
ker Gilbert, agent general for repara-
tions, the start of the year saw an odd
debate between the viewpoints OF that
country and France, the subject being
whether Germany is prosperous or
staggering under burden of economic
ills and mistakes.
