SUE RAILROAD FOR
$12,500 DAMAGES
Plaintiffs Say Smoke and Soot Made
Tlieir Stock of (inn-cries
Unmarketable.
Charging that the smoke and soot
issuing from the engine repair shed
of the C. J. ,SL- S. railroad in th
west part of the city made their stock
of groceries unmarketable .and their
home uninhabitable, Toustyn and i
Victoria Merzykowski have filed suit
against the railroad for $12,500 dam
ages. The plaintiffs operate a grocery op
posite the engine house on Poland st.
They declare that the smoke pouring
from low stacks of the engine house
covered the stock with soot so that
customers ceased trading with them.
When they endeavored to sell the
place the purchaser refused to buy
when h" saw the damage wrought by
the smoke, they allege.
In order to prevent the smoke
from entering the house they have
kept the windows and doors shu and
Muffed cotton in the keyholes, the
complaint alleges.
WASHINGTON. July 2. .Senate
democrats approached a final agree
ment on the Underwood-Simmons tar
iff bill in caucus late Tuesday when
they made the following decisions on
important contested points:
Mutual Life Insurance companies
were exempted from payment of in
come tax an premiums returned to
policyholders in the form of dividends.
A stamp tax of one-tenth of one
cent per pound was agreed to, for all
trading in cotton futures, the tax to
be refunded where cotton is actually
delivered.
An agreement was reached for a
vote tomorrow on the Hitchcock
amendment, proposing a restrictive tax
on tobacco production to prevent
monopoly.
The finance committee members
held another meeting Tuesday night to
decide questions referred back from
the caucus. The caucus will resume
work Wednesday and it is believed the
final paragraphs will be reached be
fore Wednesday night.
The decision to exempt earnings
which mutual life insurance com
panies, later distribute to policyhold
ers came at the end of a long debate.
The caucus by a vote of 13 to 11 over
turned Monday night the recommen
dation of the finance committee dem
ocrats that such exemption be made.
On a reconsideration Tuesday, asked
by Sen. Lewis, the caucus reversed the
action and voted to upliold the com
mittee. Sen. Overman tried vainly to
have the tax on cotton futures cut
down from the one-tenth of one cent
basis proposed by Sen. Clark, to one
twentieth of one cent.
Sen. Hitchcock's fight to secure the
adoption of his tobacco tax amend
ment, which embraced the views set
forth some time ago ny Atty. (Jen. Mc
Keynolds for curbing the growth of
the "trust" was carried on until ad
journment Tuesday night and was re
newed Wednesday.

"I am too democratic to cringe and
fawn before any of the foreign courts
of Europe. I have serious doubts
whether I would accept the post if it
were tendered me."
This was the statement given out
Tuesdav night by John 11. Stoll when

Mr. Stoll had just returned from
Michigan City and wius rather sur
prised when informed of the report
ed intention of Pres. Wilson. He
would not slate definitely whether he
would accept or decline the nomina
tion. His remarks, however, led to
the conclusion that he may decline.
"My ambitions do not run in that di
rection," he said.
Ho admitted that he was an "or
iginal Wilson man.' and that he had
labored actively for the New Jersey
governor during the campaign.
Through his work as editor and
politician Mr. Stoll has become widely
known throughout Indiana. Until

South Bend Times. He organized the
Press Association of Northern Indiana

Democratic Editorial association, be

newspaper work Mr. Stoll has devoted
his time to preparing a political his
tory of Indiana.
