Special Dispat:h to The Star. BURLINGTON, Vt., August 13.—On the grounds that two jurors gave opinions as to a probable verdict for Dorrit Van Deusen Woodhouse insher million-dollar sult against her par- ents-in-law, Lorenzo and Mary Ken- nedy Woodtouse, the latter have brought a petition in Chittenden county court for a new trial. The original verdict in_the case was «. Woodhouse, who claimed her husband’s parents alicnated him from her. Later the verdict was reduced to § ,000 by Judge Sherman H. Moulton. ‘The case I8 now In the Vermont supreme court on exceptions. . The case was probably the most sensational ever tried in Vermont, and the award given was the largest ever glven in an alienation suit in this country. The petition is based upon alleged statements by Burr D. Martin, fore- man of the jury, and Clark B. Paige, Jurymen, concerning the outcome of the case. In an_affidavit submitted by Mrs. Irving I. Coburn of Milton, whose husband, Dr. Coburn, was a state senator, Mrs. Coburn s that Mar- tin told her husband. now dead, that there should be a large verdict for young Mrs. Woodhouse. Dr. Coburn phoned Mr. Austin, Mrs. Coburn sa, to that effect. An affi- davit made by a telephone operator declares that last December Dr. Co- burn phoned from Milton to Mr. Austin, at Burlingtom. ‘The other juror, Ciark B.

Brunell, then of Mil- ton, the opinfon that the plaintift would get the money, and that she had con- ducted herseif on the stand “like a He Is also declared to have said to Brunell that there must have been a “nigger in the wood pile” to have separated Mrs. Dorrit Woodhouse from her husband, Charles Douglas Woodhous: The attorneys for the defendants clare that they did not hear of the leged violations of their oaths by two jurymen until June 30.

CUBAN RAIL BILL DELAY REQUESTED Representations have been made by the State Department to the Cuban government asking that action on the railroad consolidation bill passed by the Cuban house Friday be del until the viewpoints of American stockholders and others interested can be presented properly at Havana. The bill affects important American interests. Some of them have ap- pealed to the State Department against the proposed legislatlon, which they hold to be confiscatory. The matter was discussed at a con- ference today bhetween Ambassador who recently was called to shington from Havana, and Secre- ¥ Hughes. Later it was s at the ery ca the d at the department whole question was being efully considered” It is hoped that the Cuban government 1l give prompt assurance that fi tion will be delayed until the Wa. ngton government has had opportu- nity to present freely the views of Americans whose interests might be adversely affected Coming on the heels of the passage by the Cuban congress over presi- dential veto of the lottery bill in a form which the United States believes to be ecconomically unwise and to threaten unhappy resuits in Cuba. the railroad legislation has increased the feeling of apprehension that has been noticeable for several weeks in the relations between Washington and Havana. In the case of the lottery bill, how- ever, it was merely a question of the advice of the Washington government having been flouted by the Cuban congress, while in the case of- the railway consolidation bill American interests are directly concerned. In view of this situation the railway legislation may prove to be the ve- hicle for action of some sort in Wash- ington designed not alone to protect American_interests, but also to keep the Cuban government upon a basis of sound economic policies. What form such action might take no of- ficial will discuss. ALEXANDRIA.
