JUDGE OVER-RULED
IN INSURANCE Case
Supreme Court Finds Burden Of
Proof Rests With lnsur-
ance Company

Granting new trial to Mrs. Kath.
ryn Smith in her action against an
insurance company to recover on an
automobile accident policy for the
death OF her husband. the supreme
court held in its decision that it was
!, for the jury to determine whether the
automobile In which the man was
killed may be classed as an automo-
bile or truck.
In Grand Forks district court, the
action brought by Mrs. Smith against
the Maryland Casualty company was
dismissed and Judgment entered fol-
the defendant company.
The supreme court, reversing the
| judgment Of the late Judge A. T. Cole
said the exceptions in the special
accident policy were to be construed
most strongly against the insurer"
Smith was killed in an automobile
accident May 26, 1880, while riding In
a light car, having cab on the front
part covering the drivers seat, and
back Of this an open platform. The
policy under which he was insured
agains. death carried an exception
that 1t does not protect any "driver
or operation Of an automobile truck
There was conflicting testimony as
to whether the car was to be classed
as a truck or automobile. The court
held that where the term truck" is
susceptible of two meanings, one fav-
orable to the plaintiff and one to the
defendant, 1t was for the jury to de-
termine the fact regarding classified
ton according to the law applicable
to the case. ~
The court ruled that where there
is a question Of fact to be submitted
to the jury it is error for the court
to take the case from the jury and
order dismissal. /
1T is a matter Of common knowl-
edge" the opinion written by Justice
A. G.. Burr said, that such policies
are prepared by men learned in the
law. trained in preparation of such
contracts, and who have studied the
legal effects of all multifarious pro-
Visions while the insured are gen.
orally those who are not given to con-
slider doubtful provisions IN such con-
tracts, and assume the policy is of a
character discoverable by a casual
examination.
1.-The burden of proof is upon the
defendant to show the accident oc-
CURED within the excepted classes"

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 17.-Ths State Prohibition laws of the Mid- dle West face an attack by the repeal or modification advocates as the 1883 Legislatures convene.
 In some of the States the voters have already softened enforcement regulations and paved the way for further legislative action.
 States slanting toward the wet side on the liquor question include Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, In- diana. Iowa, Nebraska North Da- kota, South Dakota. Ohio and Min nesota
 In all of them, however, the li- quor question played a small part in the recent campaign compared to economics.

DIMOND SPEAKS
 BRIEFLY TODAY
 TO LOCAL COG.
Finds Unity of Interests in All Parts-Asks for
 Aid and Advice

The unity of interests of all sec tons of Alaska, both above anc below the Gulf, was the most strik. ing feature observed by him during the past three months of trave about the Territory, Delegate-elect Anthony J. Dimond told the Cham Der of Commerce today in brie1 talk, the first he has made since he was elected.
 At the present stage of it's de- yelopment, he said. most of its problems, particularly those of the fisheries, are common alike to all sections, and a division of the Territory at this time would not aid on their solution. Until there is considerable population growth there is nothing to be gained in seeking division, he declared
 Seeks Aid and Advice
 The Delegate-elect invited the Chamber to call upon him freely in Washington for service, saying that is one of the things he is going to the national capital to do. One great need is help to the Delegate from all Alaskans who so graciously elected me to Congress. I ask for that help and solicit their advice, particu- larly from the Chambers of Com merce all over the Territory" he said.
 MT. Dimond said he would un- dertake to obtain for sailors on vessels of less than five tons the benefits of the Marine Hospital Service. If sailors on 5,0O0-ton vessels are entitled to hospitaliza- ton and medical service. those or five-ton boats are. also. And l know of no reason why it ought not to be extended to them. There may be perfectly sound reasons for their exclusion, but I don't know of them"
 He also urged the great need for a road across Prince of Wales Is- land between Klawock and Kas- san Bay. This, he said, would serve the west coast population permitting them access to Ketchi- kan and other towns without be- ing subjected to the hazards ct small boat navigation of open wa ters as at present. When Fed eral road funds are restored to normal, if they ever are, I hope

VAST COAL FIELDS
IN n. D. DESCRIBED
No Other State in Union Has as
Much Fuel, Rotarians
Are Told

No other state in the Union has as
much coal as North Dakota, G. C.
Larsen, local combustion engineer
told members Of the Bismarck Ro-
tary club at thier luncheon meeting
Wednesday.
The states coal fields cover an area
of approximately $4,000 square miles
and the total tonnage Of workable
coal has been estimated at 600 billion
tons, he said.
The coal seams vary from few
inches in thickness to 60 feet and is
mined by the open pit and under
ground methods.
North Dakota has 200 coal mines,
100 of which are underground and
100 are strip or open pit mines.
Twelve new mines were opened last
year.
Last year the state produced L.
So, 242 tons valued at $2,247 ,62465 at
the mines. Men employed in the coal
business last year totaled 2,262 and
they drew in salaries and wages ST.
100000. Larsen said 1,072 coal men
are employed within the Bismarck
trace territory.
Coal dealers in the state total 1888.
Larsen said the North Pacific branch
line from Mandan to Killdeer last
year hauled more than 10000 car
loads or 200 trainloads of coal.
Larsen discussed the history of
fire. pointing out how important it is
to the welfare of mankind. Today.
he said. many kinds Of fuel are avail
able, including wood, coal, gas, elec-
tricity, gasoline, kerosene and others.
Coal has almost completely re-
placed wood as fuel in this state be-
cause of its superior heating quail
tiles and availability, the speaker
said. Proper combustion of coal, he
said. requires consumption of about
Is tons OF air for every ton of coal.
At the end Of his talk, Larsen dis
tributed pieces of smoked glass to
members of the club for use when
witnessing the eclipse of the sun
shortly after the meeting adjourned.
Robert Ritterbush served as pro-
gram chairman.
