By reason of these things the plaintiif alleges his wife has been made sick necessitating large medical expenses. Also the rental value of the property has decreased: Damages of $3,000 are asked together with the injunc- tion restraining the defendant from continuing the operation of the stone works. F. B. Hungerford represented Schmidt, the plaintiff, and G. W. Klett and J. T. Meskill, the defen- dant, Meehan. The defendant’s an- swers besides denying many of the plaintiff’s allegations maintained that much of the smoke and gases re- ferred to is caused by neighboring factories, chiefly, Landers, Frary & Ciark. Judge Joseph P. Tuttle heard the evidence. Ex-City Engineer Testifies.

He identified and described the property, locating the Meehan stone yard and the Schmidt property on the south side of Union, street. The stone yard Is west of the Schmidt property fronting on Union street and also on Clark, H. M.

He saw dirt and chips of stone on the lawn and also on the window ledges of the Schmidt house on the west side near the stone yard. The witness also heard the noise of cperation. He thought its effect on a person would depend on temperament, If a person were in a bad nervous condition the effect would be to fur- ther deplete his system. Dr. Reeks said the trouble was one the health department had no power to relieve so he did not follow the matter up. George Hallaby, the moving pic- iure man, testified that he viewed the pioperty as a prospective purchaser. He thought the price too high and came away. He had no other objec- tion to the property. Owner Testifies, John Schmidt, the plaintiff, was the next witness. He testified that the stone yard was installed property about three years ago. He owned his place prior to that time.

Rome, Nov- 16, 3:50 p. m.—Car- dinal Von Hartmann, Archibishop of Cologne, will arrive here soon to re- main for the consistory in December, it was officially stated at the Vatican itoda“ This announcement, follow- |"ing the statement that Cardinal Mer- cier, primate of Belgium, also would attend the consistory, is considered significant, as, because of the war, foreign cardinals are tacitly exempt- ed from attendance at the consistory. Cardinal Von Hartmann enjoys ‘the confidence not only of the Pope | but of Emperor Willlam. He was { employed by the Pontiff in all nego- tiations to obtain better treatment for French ecclesiastics who had been made prisoners, for the ex- change of ‘wounded soldiers and of civilians unable to fight. The cardin- al conducts negotiations directly with the Emperor, from whom he recent- 1y obtained commutation of death sentences passed on several promin- | ent Belgian Catholics, Cardinals Gasquet and Billot are on their way here to represent Great Britain and Trance, while Cardinal Begin, Archbishop of Quebec ,is ex- pected within a few days. The fact that ecclesiastics representing several of the warring nations will be at the Vatican at the same time has given rise to the belief that steps toward peace may be discussed. $450,000 FTRE IN IOWA Clinton, Ia., Nov- 17.—Fire which for a time threatened the entire busi- ness dstrict here today, destroyed a number of business buildings, causing a loss estimated at $450,000 about half of which is covered by insurance.

Counsel for Sir Edgar announced today that, in view of the fact that he had handed his resignation to the King, who had not accepted it, he considered it inconsist- ent with his offer of resignation to apbear as if he were in any way claiming membership in the privy council. Counsel for Sir Ernest contended that the Act of 1870, giving natural- ized aliens all rights and privileges of native British citizens, removed any previous disabilities which might have prevented naturalized subjects from becoming privy councillors. Counsel for the anti-German League which brought the proceed- ings, disputed the contention of the attorney general.
