After one trial and one appeal had been had and a new trial ordered last January a Jury in the United State! circuit court, before Judge Wellborn in this city, gave a verdict for 119,000 to I [amble. As affecting the Interests of railroad employes this was considered one of ii.c most Important verdicts In many years The Order of Railway fondue tors have aided the plaintiff through tho two trials and appeals. The rase was further complicated by the fact that ha head engine of the Santa Fe train was owned by the Southern Pa cifir and was operated by a Southern Pacific engineer. The Santa Fe com pany again appealed on the ground that the Santa Fe train was under the sole direction and control of the South ern Pacific company while on the joint track and on the further ground thai the negligence which caused the acci dent was that of the engineer of the front engine of the Santa Fe train, which engineer was employed by the Southern Pacific company.

COMPANIES OPPOSE JOINT TELEPHONES FILE BRIEFS ASSERTING PRO- POSAL IS IMPRACTICAL Each Declares Attempt to Put Into Effect Public Utilities Commis sion Plan Would Be . Unconstitutional Briefs of the two local telephone companies protecting against the pro posed Interchangeable connection sys tem whereby subscribers of either telephone company could obtain ser vice over the line of the other have been filed with the public utilities com mission. The briefs are lengthy and go fully Into the subject. Following are the conclusions reached by the two companies: The Pacific company submits that by the proposed action Its rights will I)' Impaired, damaged and cur tailed, all of which is unconstitu tional; that an attempt is being made to compel it to perform, through private and particular agencies, the service which it is ready to render to the public through Its own agencies; that the action is, in effect, a taking of pri vate property without due process of law; that If such action could at all be had, it must be through ap propriate condemnation proceed ings; and that under the law of this state and our constitutional provisions, one telephone company cannot condemn or take, under the right of eminent domain, the prop erty of another which is admittedly already devoted to the same pub lic use, The Home company states: 1. That he city has no power to enforce the union proposed be tween the two phone com panies; and that an attempt to do sn would be against the constitu tion of this state and of the United States. 2. That if there ere no legal diffi culty In the way the mechanical difficulties are such, owing to the radical difference In the system of each of the two companies, as to make it Impractical to unite the two systems for the purpose of transmitting messages from one system and over the system of the other. Therefore, we respectfully sub mit that your honorable body should submit to the city council that the suggestion made by the Municipal league to your body that a connection"between the two te'o phone companies might he made for the purpose of transmitting mes sages from the system of one over the other, is Impracticable and not feasible, and an attempt to do so would bo contrary to law and sub versive to the rights of each of the telephone companies. - _ WEALTHY TOURIST SEEKS MAN WHO "GOT HIS GOAT' Gold Tinted Head That Suggested Bock Beer Is Stolen from an Automobile George Somendycke, a wealthy tour ist, and the owner of ;i string of hand some touring cars, is looking for the man who "got liis goat" yesterday.
