Reverse Judgment
 in Daily Suit
Error in Trial of Civil Action Found By
 Supreme Court

Error in the trial of the civil action of Daly Bros Co. against Vic- tor LaCroix is found and judgment for the plaintiff reversed in a de- cision handed down by the supreme court of errors today. The action was tried before Judge Harry J. Beardsley in the common pleas court here in May of 1880. Judge Beardsley awarded the Daly Bros $1,730.88 against LaCroix.
 The action was based on an al- leged non-payment of a debt. The evidence was that the plaintiff agreed to waive the placing of a mechanics lien on the defendants property with the understanding that the defendant was to pay a certain amount each month.
 The supreme court states that the plaintiff had no right of action when 1t began suit and was not en- titled to judgment. Attorney John H. Cassidy and Attorney William T. Keaveney apeared for the plain tiff. Attorney James F. Mcknight and Attorney Fred c. Dauch rep resented the defendant.
 No error was found in a second suit on which the supreme court handed down decision. The case was brought by the Bristol Lum- her Co against Alcide J. Dery, to a quit title to property in Wolcott Judge Miles F. McNiff found the issues for the plaintiff. Appeal was taken in this case, like the appeal in the Daily case, to the supreme court.

OUR DAILY NEWS LETTER

Leningrad-(UP)-The richest de- posits of iron ore in the world are in the Kursk region, which is about 500 miles to the south of Moscow.
 These deposits. known as the "Kursk anomaly" are being investi- gated by a commission of the Ac- ademy of science, headed by Ivan Gubkin.
 Digging at one place to the depth of 87 meters, the commission found layers of ore that contained 55 per cent iron. The average percentage of iron content in this ore is expected to be between 35 and 40. So far. 1000 meters have been investigated. but within the next two years 1t is plan ned to investigate 35.000 meters and to install two mines.
 In an interview Professor Gubkin stated that on the basis of several years of investigation he estimated the total reserve of iron ore in the region of the "Kursk anomaly" at about 200, ,O00. .000. 900 tons. which is as much as the total world reserve outside the U. s. S. R.. according to the estimates of Professor Otto Kuhn. made in 1926. Even if we were to estimate the average iron content of the Kursk ore at 35 per cent, the iron reserve of the Kursk region would be 70.000,000 1000 tons."
 A commission to investigate the "Kursk anomaly" which had been organised by the initiative of Profes- sor Gubkin and by direct order of Lenin, had its work terminated by order of the supreme council of Na- tional economy more than six years ago, in spite of the fact that 1t re- ported very interesting results.
