IOPTIMER H. CAMP, Clerk {FATHER AND SON, TEN | YEARS PARTED, MEET Andrew Dahlberg, Inmate of Chil- dren’s Home, in Stockholm, Me., —to Visit Parent. For the first time in ten years, An- drew Dahlberg, an inmate of the Children’s Home in this city, has seen his father.

He will be the first inmate of the locai Children’s Home to graduate from the High school, NO REDUCED PRICES. Large KEstimated Wheat Crop Holds Out No Hope for Consumers, ‘Washington, July 9.—Despite a wheat crop estimated this year at 930,000,000 bushels, the largest on record, no hope is held out by the department of agriculture for greatly reduced prices. Such a large crop would augur very low prices, accord- ing to a statement today, were it not that the world crops of wheat and competing grains do not promise more than the average of recent years. Be- sides more than the usual diversion of wheat from its use as food for men to the use of feed for livestock may be expected because of the present re!- atively short supply of corn in sec- tions where there is a promise of abundant wheat. With corn selling in Kansas fer about 7 cents more per bushel than wheat, it is not surprising, officials say, that much wheat should be con- sumed as feed by animals. Kansas’ corn crop last year was only 23,- 000,000 bushels, compared with the usual production of 150,000,000 bushels. This year's estimates are for a crop of 150,000,000 bushels of wheat.

After leaving the Athletics in 1909 he played for a short time with the Chicago Americans. ARGUE CHASE CASE. Player’s Counsel Claims Organized Baseball Is Contrary to Law. Buffalo, N. Y., July 9.—The motion to vacate the injunction obtained against Hal Chase by the Chicago American league Baseball club, re- straining him from playing with the Euffalo Federa] lLeague club, was argued before Supreme Court Justice Herbert P. Bissell here today. Keene H. Addington of Chicago, personal counsel for Chase, in his ar- gument characterized organized base- ballis a combination contrary to com- mon and statute law and a violation cf Sherman Anti-trust law in that it constitutes a traffic in players.

CONGRATULATES ARGENTINA. ‘Washington, July 9.—President Wilson sent the following telegram today to the president of Argentina: “On this memorable ninth of July, the anniversary of the indepenfience of the Argentine nation, I offer you, in behalf of this government and peo- ple and in my own name, cordial fe- licitation and sincere good wishes for the continued prosperity of the great republic over which you preside.” NO VERDICT REACHED.

Pittsburg, July 9.—Several thous- and strikers hurried to the Westing- house factorigs in East Pittsburg early today when it was reported that three cars loaded with work- men from Detroit and Philadelphia were coming.

Fo- ley, a member of the strike commit~ tee, was placed under bonds to keep the peace.

Skinner, directors of the New Haven road, filed briefs today with the inter- state commerce commission supple- menting testimony given at the in- vestigation of the road's financial af- fairs, The two directors reiterated that President Mellen's policy of ex- pansion was well known to all the stockholders; they denied that the late J. Pierpont Morgan dominated the board and declared that the dividends always were paid from net ‘earnings. Compensation in Operation, (New Haven Register.) A case in Madison, recently decided through the offices of the Connecti- cut workmen's compensation act, de- serves detailed attention, not so much because of its importance as because of its significance. In brief, its facts are these: Last winter a laborer for a loeal ice man, after cutting ice all day, quit work at 5, put up his tools and started for home. Instead of taking the highway, he took a short cut across the ice, slipped and fell so as to strike on his left shoulder, causing injuries which, though no bones were broken, incapacitated him for work for about ten weeks. Ho claimed damages for the loss of his time at two dollars a day, and med- ical expenses of two dollars. The compensation commissioner, having heard the case in all detall, finds that the claimant was not at the time of the injury in the employ of the employer, but was, strictly speak- ing, both out of his employment and a trespasser, hence he orders that the claim be rejected. Now the importance of this case is in the difference it shows from the former way. It may be that, if the man had sought to sue the employer under the law as it stood, any lawyer, having learned the facts, would have told him at the start he had no case. It is more likely that he would have found a lawyer willing to take the case. Then we should have had a typical instance of that “lawing” once so common in country communi- ties. As it is, the case went before the commissioner without expense to either party. Whether the result 1s what it would have been in the other conditions, it is in accordance with common Jaw. No matter how it might have gone, the plaintift neither plaintiff nor defendant has enough to pay his lawyer. So since neither plaintiff nor defendant have to pay a lawyer, that much is saved, an equitable decision is reached and the courts are left clear for the try~ ing of real cases. It seems like a de- : atrania chang. RICHTER & CO. MEMBERS NEW YORK #STOCK EXCHANGE Represented by K. W. EDDY. New Hritatn Nat. Bask Blde.
