step or turning to look at the train.
He had his mouth wide open and ap

Des Moines, la., Sept, 28. The
Iowa Supreme' Court,, in session: tiexe,
has handed down several Solomonic
decisions .
In one ruling, the court held that
confession of a crime on the part
of a husband does not constitute
grounds for divorce proceedings.
"It 411 becomes a wife," said the
court, "to prefer criminal charges
against her husband. She took him
for better or for . worse, and she

I Berry Case Goes Back to Low
er Tribuhal and Also Per
sqnal Darnage Suit.
Raleigh, N.' C," Sept. 28. The Su
preme Court's granting new trials in
two cases decided yesterday aftex?
noon was the distinct feature in news
t&at comes, from, the court's je,gular
opinion day. . .
" It recalled to many lawyers the fa'
mpus dissent : of Judge Robert M.
Douglas of Greensborowho could not
bring his mind to fellowship ,with the
law or the morals that gave to the
man with 50 cents involved an ad-
vantage fever the man with a life at
stake.- Theotirt grants no new trials
to men - convicted of crime if newly
discovered evidence be their only ap
peal, i . . . - x
The; difference is purely arbitrary as
one of th justices declared this at:
ternoqQ,r It is based upon the. power
of appeal vested in, the governor,. who
may save the prisoner from, death or
arrest the sentence imposed . Such a
case is now before the Governor from
Jraham county. Hardie Wiggins and
Merritt Miller are going to the "su
preme court of the United States for
a. new trial. Their spiritual advisor
and faithful Raleigh friend, Rev. Ly
man K. Dilts, will accept no com
promise for them . He wants another
jury tp pronounce them, innocent .
The court this afternoon reversed
Judge; C. C" Lyon whose decision in
the dewberry case- from Chatham de
ferred the date of reckoning with the
Seaboard for alleged delay and con
sequent da.nages to a two-car ship
ment of dewberries.
The berries went from Cameron,
"the greatest dewberry market in the
world." The cars were only two of
the 130 annual shipped . The mer
chants in North Carolina. Philips and
Teague, sent them in fast freights to
Buffalo, Naw York.- The berries ar
rived a week later badly damaged and
the sale spoiled. It was contended
by the defendant company that the
plaintiff did. not give notice of dam
age at the Buffalo office within ten
days of the alleged discovery of dam
ages . The judge held this vital .
The plaintiff regarde it unnecessary
under the Carmack amedment '.which
gives the right to plaintiffs of suit
of the initial carrier. The Seaboard
is tha.t ill-favored vehicle. The case
will go back to a jury for trial. It
involves about $600 in money, though
the damage was not total.
.. Thje court reverses JudgeT Whedbee,
Chief Justice Clark, writing a very
briet opinion, in Arche vs Ashby, for
damages sustained in an. accident to
eight year old boy. !
The evidence was that the boy and
two or three others helped to push a
handcar run by the defendant and that
one . of them jumped on it while it
was moving. The car ran into an
obstruction and one of the wheels
passed over te boy's leg. There
was evidence that the child was not
invited on the car.
'It the railroad employee invited or
permitted the plaintiff to take part
in pushing the car' says Judge Clark,
"the ; company was liable though the
company had forbidden the employees
to permit this to be done .33 Cyc.,819.
It was not only the duty, of the de
fendant to order the child away from
the moving cars, but to see that he
does go away .33 Cyc .769 . If the
child was there for that length of
time, it was negligence, of the fore
man did not 'discover the child and
make, him leave. . ,
:'In Greer vs. Lumber Company,
161 :N. C 146, the court held it as
actionable negligence not to require
them to leave . .....Contributory neg
ligence cannot be atributed to a child
of 4his age .at the time of his injury ."
The non-suit is reversed. '
Judge-Frank Winston fares all right
in J. E. Wilder, vs. A. W. Greene
and A. Wt Greene vs. J. E. Wilder.
The men started a business January
1, 1916., They tried to dissolve part
neirahip July 20, 1916 The; sole issue
before the court was whether the
cases could be consolidated and Judge
Walker holds that they could be.

STRYCHNINE KILLS CROWS;
CHICKENS NOT AFFECTED
Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. ,28.- Expert?
in universities and colleges of the
State have been asked to inform the
State Department of Agriculture why
strychnine, will kill crows and not af
fect chickens when eaten .
The State Live Stock Sanitary Board
stirred up the question by sending out
a notice urging that crows be extermi
nated and giving instructions ' as tc
use of the poison.
Some people wanted to know il
chickens would be harmed by it.: The
board officials replied that they? would
not, and told of the result of an ex
periment by one man who had wrifter
to the department that he had fed
strychnine in corn to brown leghorr
cihekeris and that they had not mind
ed it a bit.
When he threw it out for the crow?
to eat he had to send out burial par
ties. On the other hand quail dk"
not seem to "mind, it a particle.
