HULL AND Si LUMBER CO. WIN
IN APPELLATE CT. DECISIONS!
SEVEN JUDGMENT
Judges Report In Nine Of
Fifteen Cases Heard
By Them
TWO REVERSALS IN
8 SNAPPY OPINIONS
Single Criminal Action, That
Of Worley; Other Items
From Court
Opinions in eight cases were band
ed down Satin day morning by Judges
CThlttenden, Kinkead and Richards of
the eighth appellate district of Ohio,
who havo been sitting here the past
week in placo of Judges Powell,
Shields and Houck of .the fourth dis
trict, and an entry has been ordered
in a ninth caso. rifteen case wero
beard in all
In seven of the opinions, together
"with the entry, the judgment of the
-common pleas Judge is sustainod
while in two, the cases in error of
Itobert S. Hull vs. George William
Chisholm and the Sun Lumber Co. vs.
Jeorge William Chisholm, the judg
ment of the common pleas judge is
roversod. The judges concurred in
all opinions.
A single opinion deals with the lat
ter two cases. It was written by
.Judgo Chittenden. It orders that the
petition of the plaintiff bo dismissed
at his own costs and the titles to real
estate of It. S. Hull and the lumber
company bo quieted. Tho real es
tate in question is located on East
3ambler street
This case has proved to be of un
usual interest. It turned about the
will of the late Sarah Hutchinson.
Plaintiff averred that Alice V. Hutch
inson took only a life estate in tho
.property. Defendants maintained
that she took a title in fee sinipfo.
"The appellate court concurs in the
latter claim, averring that Alice V.
Hutchinson took a title in fee simple
And that the defendants hold the
property by a valid title.
THE ROBINSON CASE
Another caso of exceptional Intor
st was in tho matter of tho guardian
ship of Charity Ann Robinson. This is
the fifteenth time this action has bocn
heard and tho litigation extends over
a period of years. The appellate court,
Judge Kinkead writing the opinion,
liold that, because of tho lack of a
motion for a new trial in common
pleas, tho judgment of that court was
-sustained. The appellate body signi
fied its willingness, to have reversed
the judgment as against tho weight of
the evidence, in failing to show that
the ward was an Imbecllo, had such a
motion been made.
FULTZ VS. BROUGHTON
Judgo Richards wrote the opinion
inthe case of Mary E. Fultz and oth
ers vs. John T. Broughton. It is stated
that plaintiffs sold defendant property
in tho city of Mt. Vernon for a cash
-consideration of $1,750 and 100 shares
of Augustine Rotary stock. Plain
tiffs claimed misrepresentation on tho
part of defendant as to tho value of
tho stock and sought to recover the
sum of $2,500. The court holds that
an examination of the bill of excep
tions falls to show that the judgment
of common pleas court was not so
manifestly against tho weight of evi
donee to warrant reversal and accord
ingly affirms the same. "It Is evident
that there Is a hopeless conflict as to
what was said." reads the opinion, re
ferring to tho counter-claims of
Broughton that he had not misrepre
sented tho valuo of tho stock.
McGUGIN VS. DRAKE
Tho opinion in this case was writ
ton by Judge Chittondon, his asso--ciatos
concurring. The original salt
was brought by McGugln to recover
$100 on a promissory note executed to
him by the Drake Co. which later be
came a bankrupt. This claim was not
listed In tho bankruptcy proceedings
and -tho action was brought after tho
company was discharged, it being the
claim of McGugln that this discharge
dldnot affect his claim because of tho
bankruptcy law of 1898. The court
holds that plaintiff had knowledge of
tho bankruptcy proceedings and, ac
cordingly, affirms tho judgment of
common pleas, which was against
McGugln's claim.
COLE VS. A6HBAUGH, Trustee
Tho action hero was originally
brought by Ashbaugh. to recover the
S
AFFIRMED
value of a horso and wagon sold by
Ii. W. Kllkcnnoy, Ashbaugh's bank
rupt, to Robert h. Colo. Judge Kin
kead wroto tho opinion which holds
that tho judgment of tho common
J pleas Jury in roturnlng a verdict in
favor of Ashbaugh is affirmed.
IN RE PURDY EXCEPTIONS
Judgo Chittenden prepared tho
opinion in tho exceptions to (ho ac
count of Gladys P. Purdy, adminis
tratrix of her mother's estate. In
common pleas, tho first and sixth ex
ceptions were sustainod and tho sec
ond and seventh overruled. Appol
late court says this action was cor
rect and affirms tho Judgment.
WORLEY CRIMINAL CASE
Holding that the trial judge was
correct In withdrawing tho testimony
as Incompetent, that Bert Claggott,
prosecuting witness in tho case of H.
B. Worler. chnruod with shooting with
'intent to wound, was of a wild and
vicious character, the nppollate court
affirms the Judgment of common
pleas court in ordoring Worley com
mitted to the state reformatory on the
charge named nbovo. This testimony
was to the effoct that Claggett had
oncq' threatened, referring to Colum
bus policemen, that he would "fix
thorn."
BEATTY VS. HORSE CO.
In tho caso of A. J. Beatty vs. The
Now Castle Horse Co., an entry was
made affirming tho Judgment of com-
i mon pleas court. Tho appeal was tak
en in tho matter of costs.
OPINIONS BRIEF AND SNAPPY
All of the opinions of tho judges are
of a very brief character and come to
the point immediately. There is no
involved discussion of legal points at
issue. Judgo Kinkead loft Saturday
for Cleveland, Judgo Chittenden for
Toledo and Judgo Richards for Clyde.
They will sit in Cleveland next week.

PASTORATE
23 AND 24
ME DATES OF
THE FESTIVAL
Plans This Year Are Most
Elaborate In Its
History
NECESSITATE SALE
OF 700 ADMISSIONS
Artists Greatest Aggrega
tion Ever Assembled In
This City
In response to many inquiries, Pres
ident F. O. Levering of The Mt. Ver
non Festival association has announc
ed that the dates of this year's festi
val have been determined upon as
Wodnosday and Thursday evenings,
May 23 and 24. Ho further says that,
despito the high character of the as
sociation efforts in former ears, ho
is confident that this year's program
will exceed, both in musical effective
ness and character of the singers, any
thing that has been attempted by tho
local organization.
It is rather difficult to determine
just who shou)d be pronounced the
star of this year's production, which
will be the opera "Faust."
Arthur Mlddleton, the basso, is prob
ably the best known. Formerly a
Metropolitan opera artist, he has in
lecent years devoted the greater part
of his time to the concert and oratorio
stage, and Is, perhaps, next to Evan
Williams, the best-liked singer in con
cert today.
But if Mr. Mlddleton is the best
known, Miss Myina Sharlow is the ar
tist who has possibly the greatest ca
reer before her. The biggest hit of
the past Chicago giand opera season,
a woman of unusual beauty and
chaim, with a wonderful voice, those
who have heard her predict that in
tho next few years she will bo num
bered among the big sopranos of the
world.
Another artist ML Vernon peo
ple will look forward to hearing with
great interest is Mrs. Paul Althouse,
who sings under the name of Zabetta
Brenska, the wife of the star of last
year's festival. If Mrs. Althouse's
notices are to be believed, she will
make a ery deep Impression on her
hearers.
Mt. Vernon people will recall that
it was a big question last year wheth
er the association should continue
another year. Once having decided
that it should, the directors went
ahead with tho most elaborate plans
they have over attempted. And in a
week or so, an effort will be made to
determine whether this was justified.
There will be a personal canvass on
the part of a number of ladles to in
sure ' an audience of not less than
700. If this Is accomplished, the fin
ancial success of the festival is as
sured. Some indication of the reputation
which attaches to the Mt. Vernon fes
tival may be gathered from the fact
that one of the big musical journals
recently ran tho picture of one of the
artists who is to sing here in May
with tho lino beneath "Engaged for tho
Mt. Vernon May Festival." So suc
cessful havo been the performances
in the past, and so high the standnrd
of artistic excellence, that, apparent
ly, the fact of being engaged by tho
local board Is regarded as a feather
in a musiclan'9 cap to be exploited
as widely as possible.

MM
SUNDAY'S SERMON '
A PATRIOTIC ONE
(I
We Are Unfurling Old Glory
For Cause of Justice."
WILL TAKE HO MONEY NOW
Slangy and Enargatic Evangelist An
nounce That HI Share Will Be Qlv-
n to Red Croaa and Y. M. C. A. Do
Ing Work Among United States Sol
diart Some Daacriptlva Adjectival.
Ho stood a tenBe, erect figure Btark
In the electric lights beneath the great
cuevlng sounding traard. One foot was
on hli chair. The other was on tho
top of tho pulpit in front of him. Hli
clinched hands were upraised, as
tbougli they grasped destruction. ULi
voice was bourse and excited, like n
fighting terrier's.
"German militarism is doomed!" Billy
Sunday shouted in his great tabernacle
In Now York. "It Is doomed, and the
great guns of the United States are
going to help dig Its grave."
He whirled and leaped to the floor of
tho platform llko a cat, picked up some
thing from the carpet find Jumped back
to tho uncertain footing of pulpit and
chair with the same feline grace. But
now he held something in his hands,
something that murmured like distant
thunder a. he swung It back and forth
with the old bail player's heave, some
thing scarlet and sliver and blue. It
was the Aug.
''We are unfurling it now for the
cause of justice!" Sunday shouted, a
tense giiu in his sweat 'streaked face.
"It has never flown for anything else."
Roar Hidea Worda.
ADd then a great roar swelled up,
blotting out the words that followed.
Twenty thousand men and w omen rose
to their feet. Behind the lean black
figure, still swinging the standard back
and forth, two pianos crashed out "My
Country, 'lis of Thee." In a second
tho song had spread through the crowd.
Every one was singing.
At tho end of tho verse Homer A.
Itodeheaver, the suave, the easy of
speech, held up his hand. "We will
sing the 'Battle Hymn,' " Sunday's mil.
sic director announced and picked up
the trombone that has made him fa
mous at a scoie of relvals.
"Mine ejes iiave seen the glory of
the coming of the Lord."
The mighty marching song filled the
tabernacle to the highest of the unvar
nished rafters. Men coughed and
blinked nwav tears and tried to go on.
It was more of a prajer than a hymn.
The taut ligure of Sunday continued
to whirl the flag about his head until
the Inst tremendous note had died
away. Then he relaxed, leaped down
to the floor and mopped his face.
"That's all," ins said, with a weary
grin.
Thnt is the picture that the Rev.
William A. Sunday stamped for all
tlmo upon tho memories of 20,000 per
sons. That wns the magulQcent climax
of tho first day of the mightiest cam
paign that he has ever undertaken.
"God'a Grenadier."
"God's grenadier," lie called himself
one of the Almighty's army who is
set in the forefront of the battle to
break the ranks of the foe for those
that follow. But it was not as a bomb
thrower that he went to New York.
It is not as a mercenary that Sunday,
the fighter, has gone to New York. Ho
has takeu up the conflict in the great
est city of the nation for the love of
the cause that he leads. Not one penny
of the thousands that be will receive
in his three months' service will ever
find its way into his pockets.
All of tho customary "gift offering"
given upon the last day of his stay will
go, after his employees have been paid,
to tho Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A.'s
doing work among the United States
soldiers. He will take notbiug for the
hardest work of his life.
This is the reply that "God's grena
dier" gave to those who have sneered
at him and have said, shrugging their
shoulders, "Sunday is only in it for
what ho gets." This time Sunday is in
it up to his strong, pugnacious chin,
and as a volunteer. "I won't have that
gang spit on me again and then try to
rub it in !" he shouted.
Ten minutes after he hnd begun his
first sermon he had trained all bis bat
teries upon the forces of evil lu New
York city. He peppered them with a
machine gun fire of adjectives "vile,
iniquitous, low down, groveling, worth,
less, damnable, rotten, hellish, corrupt
miserable," was only one salvo that he
directed upon them.
He blasted the "weasel 'eyed, butter
and milk, white livered, whisky soaked
gang" with shock after shock of In
vective and sarcasm. And with his at
tack be broke through the thin shell of
reserve that New Yorkers had brought
to the tabernacle. Ten mluutes after
the beginning of his sermon they were
cheering with him. Before he finished
they were yelling for him.
As usual, his hottest offensive was di
rected against "that worst crowd this
side of the penltenlary; that black
hearted gong of Bcoundrels the liquor
dealers." His attack upon them was
the climax of his afternoon sermon.
"Como on, you blackguards I" he yelp
(d. "Come on I I defy you I"
Ho fought nn imaginary foe across
the stage as hard and fast as ever
lightweight battered his way across a
ting. His face was dripping and red
when he halted, one foot and one hand
raised, tease and Quivering.
