Supreme Court Not 10 Get
Hospital Injury Suit

The precedent breaking case of
Hughes versus Georgetown Hospital,
in which charitable institutions were
held liable for the negligent acts Of
their employees, has been settled in
full and will not be taken to the
Supreme Court.
Attorney Emmett Leo Sheehan,
counsel for the plaintiff, Miss Susan
Hughes, said today that the hos
pitfalls insurance carrier has paid a
total Of so sos 81, representing the
total judgment, interests and the
cost. Miss Hughes, who is "a, was
injured in October, 1884 when she
WAS knocked down by a door flung
open by q student nurse at the in
stitution. Miss Hughes was special
nurse called in to treat q single
patient and was not an employe OF
the hospital itself.
Settlement of the case means that
the Supreme Court will not be
asked to review the District Court
judgments which was upheld by the
United States Court Of Appeals on
June 80 of this year. The case was
tried in June, 1910.
The appellant tribunal decision
upholding Justice James M. Proc

held that charitable institutions
were immune from damage suits

Use Of Coal Silt 10 Combat
Fuel Oil Shortage Urqed

A plan to use large, unmarketable
culm heaps scattered through Penn
sylvania's anthracite region to COM
bat the Eastern fuel oil shortage
was explained to a Special House
Committee today by Vincent G.
Shinkle, New York consulting en-
gineer.
Fifty million tons of the silt, too
fine for ordinary markets, is virtually
waste product of an industry which
is battling for trade, Mr.. Shinkle
told the committee. The group,
headed by Representative Fitzgerald,
Democrat, of Connecticut, is in
vestigating Oil and rubber problems.
Mr.. Shinkle said If the silt is pull
verized further it can be mixed with
equal amounts of fuel oil and fed
into present pumping equipment and
tanks. The mixture, he said, pro-
vides more heat at less money than
straight petroleum for industrial
purposes.
