Comments on Finances

In discussing the financial condi- ton of the railroad the court says there is prima facie case to war-.: rant the commission ordering the removal each year of IS grade crossings. Upon the facts alleged by themselves, a reasonable con- clusion could not be reached that the financial condition of the rail- roads as described would not war rant the commissioners in ordering the railroad to remove grade cross- ings as required by statute. Upon their face they must be held to make out continuing violation of the duty devolving upon the com- mission under Section 371o during these years and as a consequence to constitute a material neglect of duty under Section 3614"

A 2o-yard up- hill approach, which rolled his bali two feet from the pin, netted him the score that gave him one under par for the first four holes.

 Smith banged out a sensational shot to get another par on the 352-yard seventh. He pulled his drive to the left.

nothing further happened until Nc Cue went into the East Main street side of the yard to get a bat and ball preparatory to closing the grounds on account of the rain. Without warning, Paluso leaped at him from near the school building and Jurczyk and Booth joined in the attack after McCue started to defend himself against Paluso.
 McCue Badly Scratched
 In the struggle, McCue's neck was scratched in three or four places, the inside of his lip was cut and his thumb was bitten. His injuries were treated on the grounds after the at lacking trio had fled. AS to the pre- vious conduct of the youths, which Judge Sake asked him about. McCue said he had occasion 10 warn them that they must observe the rules of the playground or they would not be allowed to enjoy the facilities for recreation. He wanted them to set the proper example for the smaller children. of whom there are be- tween 200 and 300 on the grounds every day.
 Thomas J. Devine testified that he and John Pagan were standing in front of the Palace theater and saw Smithwick and McCue put Paluso out of the playground. A lit tie later, Paluso and his companions assembled and talked as though planning to make a reprisal, and soon a boy ran over to Officer Fred L. Wagner, who was also in front of the theater. and told him McCue was being beaten.
 Uses Fists in Self Defense
 Smithwick testified to his part in the affair, and Charles Jones, a youth who saw the entire incident, testified that Paluso swung his fist at McCue after the latter had stop ped the swing and ordered him off. Jones also witnessed the attack of the trio and said McCue used his fists only in self defense.
 Officer Wagner testified that he learned Paluso was the cause of the trouble and arrested him at Clark and Union streets. Later, Jurczyk and Booth called at the police sta ton, having learned of the arrest, and they were arrested. Paluso had a bruise under his left eye and there was a swelling on the left side of his face. Booth complained of a bruised mouth.
 Paluso was the only one of the trio who took the stand to explain their side of the fracas, although all pleaded not guilty. He admitted knowing it to be a violation of the playground rules to stand up on the swings, and when McCue ordered him off he would have obeyed but for the fact that he was going too fast to jump in safety. Instead of waiting for the swing to slow down, MCCue took hold of it and stopped it. "What're you, q wise guy?" Pa luso said he asked McCue, to which the latter retorted; I'll show you how wise I am," and seized him by the neck and began choking him.
 Pals Eager to Help
 Paluso admitted that he was an- gry at the alleged treatment, and after being elected he decided 10 have it out with the director. Asked if he had his companions join him, Paluso said he was not obliged to ask them as they were eager to help him. "They're my friends" he said. He could not tell whether or not he bit McCue's thumb, but he claimed one Of his teeth was broken in the melee. You probably broke it on his thumb" Prosecuting Attorney Woods said.

BOY CHAUFFEUR
IS INJURED

Joseph Morgan, 8, of the 1900
block D St. S. E., is one of those
lads who wants to follow in his
fathers footsteps. Joe's first at
tempt yesterday met with dis
aster.
His father, Harry B. Morgan,
is a chauffeur.
Hence, a budding ambition had
just arrived at the proper point
when he noticed an electric truck,
unguarded, parked near his home.
1t belongs to the Rice Baking
Company.
Joe climbed in. Turning the
handle which applies the Juice"
he was off.
But the steering apparatus of
the truck was too much for eight
year-old muscles. The machine
went into the curb, and out went
the budding chauffeur.
Joe bit his tongue when he
landed on the street. When he
was treated at Casualty Hospital
for a laceration to the tongue,
he could not talk enough to say
whether he still wants to be a
chauffeur.

timated at 5000, 1927, 900, compared
with $2S4,S43,OOO the year before.
Livestock on farms as of January
1, was given a value of $303, 900 900,
an increase of 100000 over 1928.
Gross farm value of milk produc-
ton saw an Increase of more than
S5,000,000, and egg production ST.
100000.
Commenting on the findings, Mr..
Holmberg said, 1T must be remem-
bered the value of this data is in
the relation between the two years
rather than the actual totals. A
study indicates the 1929 gross ag-
ricultural farm value is in excess
of 1928 by several millions of dol
lars, but it must be taken into con-
sideration that 1928 was not a year
of large production nor of good
farm prices.
Zone of the outstanding increases
in crop values was in the potato
crop, which is more than two times
greater than the 1928 value and &C
counts, to great extent, for hold
ing the all crops value slightly
above the 1928 figure.
I'm the case of crops" Mr.. Holm
berg explained, "the values are de-
termined by the total production
times the price paid to farmers as
of December 1 each year. The
value of livestock on farms is the
value of the farm inventory, Jan
uary 1 of each year, based on av-
erage price.
Milk and egg production values
are based on monthly production
and monthly farm prices but the
value reported is not the amount
received from the sale of milk or
Its products, but the farm value of
the total production for the -
months"
