GETS VERDICT FOR $850. Plaintif Wins Damages in Suit Against Taxicab Company. A jury in Cireuit Court No. 1, Jus tice Bailey presiding, has returned a verdict for $850 in favor of the plain- Uff in the case of Louis Niefeld, an infant, by Benjamin Niefeld, his next friend, against the Black and White Taxicab Co. In his declaration the plaintiff cialmed that on June 15, 1924, while he was crossing Fifth street between O and P streets, he was run into by a taxicab of the defendant company and injured. He clalmed that his face and other parts of his body were badly injured and that his nerv- ous system was impaired. The tariff, while the Catholic Germania, read by many Catholic workers, and the Democratic Volks Zeitung criticize the agriculture tariffs. Voerwarts says the tariff proposes an alllance of the agrarian and in dustrial interests and say the Social- ists were largely actuated by disap- proval of the government's tariff plans when they introduced a motion of non-confidence in the government in the Reichstag vesterday. Tariff Is Scored. The Rote Fahne says the proposed tariff contains what “even a German junker paradise has thus far not heard cf—a duty on potatoe: The Boersen Zeitung confesses its grave disappointment that the indus- trial duties are so low. The tariff proposes a duty of 3 marks per 100 kilos (about 220 pounds) on rye; 3.50 marks per 100 kilos on wheat; 2 marks per 100 kilos on barley and 3 marks per 100 kilos on oats. A duty of 20 marks per 100 kilos is proposed on frozen and canned meats; 24 marks per 100 kilos on bacon and 8 marks per 100 kilos on lards and fats. Some American busines men here have been already inclined to view the proposed new tariff policy as vio- lating the most favored nation clause. George F.
