court and tried by Judge Miles +.
McNiff. He found the issues for
Peterson to recover $4S5 and costs.
The case of Frisbie against Jay
was returned to the superior court

Unusual Procedure Followed in Auto Accident Case;
Court Rules Deal Involving Minor, Illegal

even though he was judge of the
common pleas court.
Today, Judge McNiff in handing
down his decision ON both cases,
found the issues for Peterson to
recover his $48B and for Frisbie to
recover $3.50. Judge McNiff acted
as an arbiter in disposing OF the
second case, because when the
Peterson case was tried by him, he
also permitted the evidence in the
F'risbie case to come in.
Transaction Illegal
A decision that has Gar-reaching
reaction, was handed down by
Judge Miles F. McNiff in the COM
mon pleas court today wherein he
finds the issues in favor Of Czeslaw
Gmiczak, also known as Chester
Mitchell, against the Standard Used
Car Co. The case involved con-
tract between the plaintiff and the
defendant, over the purchase of a
car on time payments.
The crux of the decision is, that
while the plaintiff, 20 years Of age,
purported to the defendant that he
was FL years Of age, he is still a
minor and that the contract can
not be held against him. Therefore,
the money the plaintiff paid in for
a car, is ordered returned to him
and the car returned to the agency.
The plaintiff paid in $142 for car,
which he turned back after several
weeks, and then used the value Of
the car toward the purchase Of an
other machine. He signed a con-
tract agreeing to pay monthly pay
ments. After a lapse of several
weeks he decided to cancel the con-
tract and asked to have his money
back. Judge McNiff says that while
the boy committed a fraud in stat
ing he was FL years Of age, yet he
cannot be held to the contract. At

P. N. Bernstein represented the de-

ROOSEVELT WAS
URGED TO BECOME
REAL DICTATOR
Very Idea Was Hateful to
the Presidents AS
serted Gen Johnson

Mayfeld, KY, May 7.-CUP)-
Gen Hugh s. johnson former MIRA
administrator, would not enlarge
to-day on his charge that during
the 1898 monetary crisis, certain
business leaders urged President
Roosevelt to declare himself die
tator of the Emitted States.
Johnson made the sensational
charge in an address before young
Kentucky democrats in a tobacco
warehouse last night.
Roosevelt Refused
I'VE are forgetting, if we have
not discarded, many old counsels
of safety and convenience" he
said. The only reason we haven't
a dictator right now is that the
very idea was hateful to the presi-
dent. In March of 1898, there
were many who urged that step,
and, strange as it now seems, the
principal urgers were some of the
very barons OF big business who
recently came to Washington and
passed resolutions telling the New
Deal to fold up and die"
Johnson denounced third party
movements in general, and, al
though he organized the first fed
eral government attempt to regu-
late business in detail, warned of
the dangers of a well established
bureaucratic system. His secretary,
Miss Frances Robinson, had her
aided the speech as the greatest
