DAMAGES IN LIQUOR CASE

line Yost was awarded $1,500 for the
death of her husband tonight by a
jury which exhonerated the city of
Omaha, joint defendant in her suit
for $25,000, for Frank Yost's death
f two years ago from poison liquor.
Michael and Mary Mandich and Mich
ael Crapulick, other defendants, were
assessed $600, $600 and $300 re
, spectively. Mrs. Yost claimed the
. city of Omaha was liable thru lax
! ity in enforcing the prohibition law.
. The others she accused of giving her
! husband the alleged fatal liquor.
Washington, Nov. 25. The tariff
commission's wheat tariff inquiry
will advance into the second stage
tomorrow, when its first public hear
ing will be held. The commission
has invited millers, producers and
other interested parties to state their
cases, and officials said tonight they
hoped to develop a broad view of the
pros and cons of appeal by the wheat
counsel of the United States for an
increase of 50 per cent in the pres
ent wheat duty of 30 cents a bushel.
Members of the commission have
been engaged for several days in lay
ing a groundwork for the field In
quiry which also has to be made and
it was stated Vice Chairman Culbert
son will direct the task of gathering
data from growers and millers.
The commission's corps of experts
has been augmented by a score or
more of agricultural college men for
the gathering of cost information.
Little information has been made
available as to the program for ob
taining production costs in Canada,
from where the chief wheat competi
tion comes. Thus far there has been
no indication of any opposition from
the Canadian government, but the
feeling prevails in some quarters
that a general inquiry in Canada
may not be entirely welcomed by
officials of that country. The com
mission will have to obtain an aver
age cost of production there, togeth
er with information pertaining to
marketing costs in order to weigh
properly the same information as to
costs south of the border.
Mr. Culbertson's conference at St.
Paul may develop ways for obtain
ing the necessary Canadian informa
tion, although members of the com
mission decline to discuss that phase
of their program.
large number of the relatives and
neighbors and a most excellent time
was had. The friends in making the
occasion a surprise took with them
well filled baskets which provided a
most delightful dinner. On their de
parting the friends extended wishes
that this excellent couple might live
to enjoy many more happy years in
health, prosperity and happiness
with their friends.

FALLS WITH LADDER
fc'rom Tuesday's Daily
Uncle C. W. Snyder of Nehawka

way of life, had a very thrilling ex
