'REVENUES OF RAILROADS INCREASED BY NEW RATES Authorized by the Interstate Com- merce Commission. | Washington, March 14.—Reavenues of forty-three railroads operating east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio !and Potomac increased by about 3,- | 800,000 during the month of October, {1915, under the new rates authorized i by the Interstate Commerce Commis- Ision in the five per cent. case. In an estimate made public today | the commission said this increase is estimated by taking the traffic actual- ly_handled in October and applying Dboth the old and the new rates. On freight traffic the increase was about $2,700,000 and on passenger about $936,000. Actual increases in these carriers’ revenues in October are not shown In the announcement, but in comparison with other reports they are expected to show many millions above those of the previous years. Today’s fig- ures were based merely on a compari- £\n of old and new rates to the actual business transported, and do not show increases due to the greater business. Made Him Square.

Thomas Against Amos S. Burdick and Mrs. Katherine V. R. Welch—Plaintiff Struck by Defendant’s Car. When the superior court for Wash- ington county convened at Westerly Tuesday morning the case called for trial was that of Lida A. Thomas of Hopkinton _against Amos §. Burdick and Mrs. Katherine V. R. Welch of Westerly. Miss Thomas seeks to re- Gover $3,000 damages for alleged in- juries recelved by being struck by an automoblle driven by Mr. Burdick, who was acting as agent for Mrs. ‘Welch. Miss Thomas claims that her right wrist was fractured and per- manently injured and that she was cut and bruised in the arms, head and body, and received such a shock to her nervous system that she is unable to continue her business as milliner and hair dresser. The alleged acci- dent is claimed to be due to the care- lessness of Mr. Burdick, and occurred in front of the passenger station of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad company, Aug. 4, 1915. Attorney Herbert W. Rathbun, of counsel for defence, made motion that the judge and jury view the premises and the motion was granted. John J. Dunn is associated with Mr. Rathbun as counsel for defendants and Clar- ence E. Roche represents the plain- e, The jurors selected for this case are: George A. Ogston, James O. Bab- cock, Frederick C. Buffum, Wayland A. Chapman, of Westerly; Isaac C. Grinnell, Edward R. Pierce, Arthur W. Steadman, South Kingstown; John Maglone, John C. Northrop, North Kingstown: John Hopkins, Richmond; Frank E. Bliven, Charlestown; Charles G. Champlin, Narragansett. Lida A, Thomas, the complainant. was the first witness and testified that she arrived in Westerly on the 9.40 car frcm Ashaway. She alighted from the car nearly opposite the rail- way station, raised her umbrella and started for the express office. She could see no automobile in sisht. When in the driveway she was struc', knocked down and injured by the automobile driven by Burdick and ren- dered unconscious. Dr. Crandall ac- companied her home. She was at- tended by two nurses. Her wrist was broken, face and neck bruised and she said she was completely covered with bruises and she was in such pain that she could not sleep for two weeks. Ske had one nurse, Mrs. Stev- ens, her er, for five weeks, and Mrs., Henry Barnes for three weeks. She was in the middle of the drive- way in front of the express office when she was struck by the left front wheel of the automobile and it run over her. The automobile went about seventy-five feet before it stopped The auto horn was not blown and no warning ziven. She was taken into the station and attended by Dr. She had a talk with My, % in the station and he @ he would call and see her about the accident later, but he never did. Miss Thomas testified she had been in busincss seven years in Westerly, and just before the accident her week- 1y net earnings were about $18 a week. She has not been able to conduct her business since. 1In September, the 14th, she tried to work, but could do but 'very little, and could do hardly any work now. Her wrist was still sore and pained her at intervals. She suffered pain from her other injuries for about two wes She is indebted to her sister, Mrs. Stevens for five weeks at §25 a week, and Mrs. Barnes for three weecks at $15 a week. She was compelled to give up her business, closing it out Nov. 1. Dr. Crandali treated her from Aug. 4 to the pres- ent time. The automobile that struck her was owned by Mr. Burdick, that is, he was the driver, but it was owned bv Mrs. Welch, she' said. The regis- tered number was 10,390. Counsel for defense dld mnot con- cede that the automobile was owned by Mrs. Welch, when questioned by Mr. Roche. Miss Thomas, continuing, testified that Dr. Crandall's bill was about $100. At time of accident witness weighed 120 pounds and afterwards weighed 92 pounds. She was strong before the accident happened The story she told at the opening was written out and she read it care- fully, she said in reply to queries from Attorney Rathbun. ~ ‘Her memory, e said, was not affected by the ac- cident. ‘She went to the express of- fice that morning before going to her place of business. A severe storm of rain prevailed and she carrfed an open umbrella. She ot off the car on the side nearest the station. It was a driving rain, but did not inter- fere with her vision. She could not tell how many automobiles were in waiting at the station, near the bag- gage room. She saw no machines coming in or out of the driveway. She wos of the opinion the wind was northeast, and the rain storm was very severe. She held the umbrella low, to shield her head, but she could see all rieht, and walked at her usual galt. It was a very severe storm. She might have changed the position of the umhrella a trifle from the time she ieft the trolley car until she was struck, to protect her face from the driving rain, but she could see ahead. She did not see the Burdick auto- mobile until it was within five feet of her,’and at that time she was in the middle of the driveway. She was pos- itive she saw the machine before it struck her, and that it was coming from tho 'direction of the baggage room. If she had stood still when she saw the machine five feet away, she might not have been struck, she said. She hesitated for a moment’ when she saw the automobile, stood still, and then started for the express office and was struck by the left forward wheel. She tried to get ocross to the express office before the automobile would reach her. At this point, Miss Thomas com- plained of feeling sick, and the court took a recess for ten minutes.

She saw the car had a wind- shield and she could see the driver. She sald she became transfixed and could not_turn back and avoid the ac- cldent. Before she could get out of the way she was confused, and went forward. From the point where she stopped to the point where she Was struck was about six or eight feet. If_she had turned and walked the other way she would not have been truck, she sald. She did not know ‘Which part of the front of the ma- chine struck her. She did not walk in front of the machine, but her plan was to cross over in front of the machine. She said she tried to get out of the way of the automobile and almost ran, but could have gone faster. She walked faster after she had stopped than before, which was after she said she saw the automobile. She could have turned and gone the other way and avoided the accident if she had thought of it. She did not see the Burdick car until it was six feet away. She could not tell whether a man or woman drove the car, or whether there was anyone in the car from her personal observation. Mr. Andrews was behind her on the way from the trolley car, and did not warn her. She had no personal knowledge of the owner of the car except from what she learned on the automobile registration book. At this point Judge Rathbun made a motion that all of the testimony that tended to conmect Mrs. Welch with the ownership of the car be stricken from the record, and the motion was granted. Judze Rathbun also made a motion that all testimony of the Wit~ ness concerning the accident, after the time she said she became unconscious be stricken out, and the court so or- dered. Mies Thomas continuing testified that her business was profitable and denied that she could not pay the rent for her rooms and other bills, but she | took in money enough, and gave it| to her mother. She kept account of her business and her books will show a profit of $18 a week. Carl G. Andrews, the first witness called at the afternoon session, testi- fied that he was about twenty-five feet behind Miss Thomas on the way from the trolley car to the railway station. As Miss Thomas started across the driveway an automobile started from the baggage room. Both met. Miss Thomas was struck by the left mud- guard, knocked down and the automo- bile proceeded about twenty-five feet. He did not know who drove the ca The car was going slowly at the rate of five or six miles an hour. He heard no horn or other warning. It was raining and Miss Thomas had her umbrella raised. When questioned by Judge Rathbun, the witnes testified that he was ex- perienced in automobile driving. The car had stcpped before he could reach Miss Thomas and render her assist- ance. The automobile started from the front entrance to the station, he He did not know who oper- ated the car, or how many were in the car. He did not hear a horn blown, but believed it should have been tooted to warn Miss Thomas. Daniel Murray, of Westerly, motor- man_on the Norwich-Westerly road, testified Mis: , was a passen- ger on his car, and he saw her after accident about midway of the drive- way in front of the express office. She was being assisted to the station by Evans Burdick and Carl Andrews. Ambrose J. Kennedy, of Westerl conductor of the car operated by Mo- torman Murray, testiffied he knew nothing of the accident. He saw Thomas just after she was picked up in front of the express office. Howard E. Thorp testified that he was in the same car with Miss Thom- as. He saw Miss Thomas, face down- ward, and saw the two wheels of the automoblle left side of car pass over her in the driveway in front of the express office. The automobile was about twenty feet before stopping. It was a very damp morning when the accldent occurred and it was rain- ing hard, continued Mr. Thorp, when cross questioned by Judge Rathbun. He saw no automobile at the station until after the accident, and could not recall what attracted his attention te the accident as he sat In the trolley car. John F. Burdick testified he was at the station at the time of the acci- dent. He saw Miss Thomas start across the driveway and saw Amos Burdick’s automobile run into her. She was struck by the left fender and the left rear wheel passed over her. He saw two men pick Miss Thomas up and take her into the express office. Miss Lillian Louise Symester, a resi- dent of Providence, -xd a cousin of s Thomas, testified she was on the trolley car when Miss Thomas was struck by the automobile. When wit- ness reached the station Miss Thomas was on a stretcher, having been picked up in the driveway. Witness remained until after Miss Thomas and the doc- tor started for Ashaway. Witness ask- ed for the number of the car and it was given her on a.slip of paper. Dr. Charles P. Crandall testified that he was called to attend Miss Thomas in the Adams express office and told in detail of the injuries received by her, and which were treated by him. Her condition was highly nervous and the second day quite a fever developed and she said she was unable to sleep for several days, and she suffered pain for a long while. Witness had attend- ed her ever since the accident and she has not fully recovered. It was two months before she could use her right hand. His bill to date was $80, and she needed treatment for a Twhile longer. William H. Rawson, agent of the Adams Express company, testified he did not see the accident. He saw the car that struck Miss Thomas and at the request of Mrs. Symester he took the number and gave them to her. Mre. Henry Barnes, a nlece of Mi Thomas, who was at the home of the latter on the day of the accident and nursed Miss Thomas for three weeks, said she is a train nurse and went to Miss Thomas voluntarlly and her charge was $16 a week and she remain- ed_there three weeks.

When in front of the main entrance he was hailed, stopped, and took in a passenger and then started. He had gone but a short distance when he saw the umbrella in front of the car and believed the hind wheel of the car went over Miss Thomas. He helped pick up ‘Miss Thomas and car- ry her into the express office. She told him he would have to pay the doctor's bill, but nothing more was ever said about it until after this suit was brought. The car tad not gone 20 feet when he first saw the umbrella in_front of the car. The defense rested. While the jury out, by request Judge Rathbun asked that the court direct a verdict for the defendant, due to lack of evidence on the part of the plaintiff. No negligence had been shown on the part of Burdick and it was shown by testimony for plaintiff that Miss Thomas did not exercise due precaution on her part. Judge Barrows said that while he had his own opinion, he did not feel justified in ordering a verdict for the defendant.
