WOULD CHANGE
HIGHWAY LAWS
Expect Effort To Be Made
At Approaching Session
of Legislature
Des Moines, la., Nov, 'v-An ef
fort to "pull Iowa out of tho mud”
by means of legislation will undoubt
edly occupy a prominent place in the
discussions at the special session of
the legislature which convenes one
week from today. Already there is a
movement on foot for changes in the
Iowa highway law, according to M. L.
Bowman, executive secretary of the
Iowa Good Roads association.
Bowman says evidence of a de
mand for some changes in the road
law can be gleaned from the great
number of good roads meetings which
havo been held in all parts of the
state under the auspices of the asso
ciation.
"There is a positive belief on the
part of the people that all the pri
mary road expenses should properly
be paid from the primary road fund.
The sentiment Is so strongly In favor
of this change that apparently there
would be very little, If any, opposi
tion from any part of the state.
"Another matter that meets very
general approval 1s that the law
should be changed so that a county
voting bonds for pflmary road im
provement would have the right to
use this money for graveling as well
as for hard surfacing."
"The executive committee of the
Iowa Good Roads association," Bow
man said "believes these are matters
of importance in our effort to ‘pull /
Iowa out of the mud.’ “
He said these suggested changes
would meet with a greater approval
of the people than any other thing
that could be taken up at the special
session of the legislature this winter.

Simmons. Later Pahl’s dead body
was found hidden under a culvert.
Simmons, Who had had no money,

last legislature repeal the action pro
viding for election at the direct pri
mary of party committeein' n and *
delegates to the county conventions,

old precinct caucus system had been
referred to the voters and had been
eliminated from the law.

216, the Original Award
Lincoln, Neb, Nov '•-(Special)—
The supreme court usav- ts knife on
three big judgments secured in dis
trict courts In the case where W. P.
Johnson, a switch foreman, secured
a judgment for $47,216 against the
Union Pacific for the loss of both
arms in the Omaha yards, the court
said that $36,000 was proper, the jury
having failed to take into account
that Johnson had failed to look where
he was going after he had ordered
certain cars shunted down 'a track,
which order was misconstrued
Bernard J. Curran recovered $32,
000 from tlfi Union Stockyards com
pany of Omaha for the loss of a leg.
and other injuries received when &
swinging gate to an unloading pen
knocked him off the side of the car
he was riding on. This was cut $10,
000 because of his age and expectancy
of life.
The $35,000 judgment that Mh.v
Josephine Kepler received against the
Omaha railroad, was shaved $2,625,
that being the amount of her medical
bill. The court said that a married
woman cannot recover for such ex
penses unless she paid them in whole
or in part. Mrs. Kepler was made a.
helpless cripple when her foster
brother tried to beat a train across
a grade crossing. The court held that
the evidence established she was a

could not be imputed to her.
ASKS COURT TO FIX
SENIORITY RIGHTS.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. r -(Special.)
t—Brotherhood circles here are stirred
over the filing of a petition in dis
trict court by Aaron Grisler, a Burling
ton engineer, who seeks to have the
courts say that his job is a vested
property right, and that no ru'.es of
the brotherhood or railroad can take
from him seniority rights that have
been accorded him by the rules of
the past- He says that the rule of
seniority has all the legal force and
effect of a contract.
The suit is directed against J. M.
Crum, chairman of the local adjust
ment committee for this division. J. A
Leverington, chairman of the general
adjustment committee of the system
and General Superintendent Lyman.
Crisler alleges a conspiracy between
Crum and Leverington by which the
rules were amended without rotlce
to members, with the result that
Crum was able to get a transfer from
the St- Joseph division to the Wy
more division. This displaced all of
the senior engineers, and threw Cris
ler into the extra pool and cut down
his possible earnings $80 a month.
