FUNERAL CHARGES TOO HICH 8opreme COourt Administers Rebuke to a Oedar Rapids Undertaker LAWYER'S TALK REVERSES A VERDICT Glenwood Institute eeble Minded mples of Work Done tes—Memorial for Judge Hubbard, Sends Some by Inm (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 4.—(Special.)—The supreme court of Iowa has fixed a limit on the cost of funerals for men of lowly etation. A Cedar Rapids undertaker camed Foley had been called to take charge of the funeral of one Edward Lynch, who had been a janitor at a rallroad sta- tion, but who lett property valucd at about $5,000, with no relatives. The undertaker thought it was a good time to have a big tuneral and he sent in a bill for $526, which the administrator refused to pay, because the expenses were extravagant and foolish, considering the deceased's estate and his soclal standing and etation in life. The undertaker got a judgment for $455. The supreme court today declared that even this was excessive and that it was evident tho undertaker had given the deceased the best he had without regard to expense merely because he believed nobody would complain, as there were no known rela- tives. The court said: “The idea that a man dylng leaving an estate of less tha $5,000-should have a casket costing $425 and that his estate should be burdened with funeral expenses amounting to $526 is lit- tle short of ridiculous. Courts will not per- mit such an injustice to be perpetrated, o matter what the findings of the jury.” Undertaker Foley is given the option of scaling his bill to $150 and paying all the costs of the appeal or having another try at it with the jury. Escapes Jndgment for Damages. The court also reversed the case of Sulli- van against The Rock Island Railroad Company, from Guthrie county, where the plaintiff secured a judgment of $7,500 against the company on account of injuries to his spine by falling as he was getting off a train. The attorney for the plaintiff made improper statements to the jury in opening the case, referring indirectly to the enormous income of the defendant com- pany, and, although the trial court ruled this out objectionable, the supreme court says it was prejudicial. There were other errors and new evidence after the trial was sufficient on which to secure a second trial. Court Decistons. The following were the decislons of the court rendered today Michael O'Mella against M, C. Hoftmeyer et al., appellants; Muscatine county, Judie House; affirmed; opinfon by Ladd. Roy C.
