Action of Fred C. Haffke of This City
Against Railroad Company is De
cided in Favor of Company
From Wednesday's Dally.
The damage suit of Fred C. Haffke
of this city against the Missouri Pa
cific railroad company, which was
tried this week at Lincoln before
District Judge W. M. Morning, was
decided yesterday morning by the
court when he sustained' a motion
of the defense to instruct the jury to
return a verdict in favor of the rail
road company.
In the cause of action the plaintiff
sought damages in the sum of $3,000
and in his petition stated that on
ADril 14. 1920. he was driving a
heavy loaded motor truck in Sarpy
conntv and crossing the tracks of
the defendant company near Fort
Crook when his vehicle was struck
by one of the defendant's trains and
demolished. The plaintiff sustained
severe injuries to his person as well.
It was contended by the railroad
company in the case that the accident
was due entirely to the negligence
of the plaintiff, who was familiar
with the road, could have seen the
train coming and could have stopped
his truck if he had been handling it
with proper care.
The plaintiff had contended that
the situation of the crossing was
such as to obscure the view of the
approaching train as well as the fact
that the locomotive did not give any
alarm of its approach.

YOUNG GIRL GOES
TO GENEVA SCHOOL
Clara Lamphear is Ordered to State
School on Being Found Guilty of
Incorrigible in County Court
From Wednesday's Dally. j
Yesterday afternoon County Judge'
Beeson had before him for trial, Clara '
Lamphear, a sixteen-year-old girl on ;
the charge of being incorrigible, the j
complaint being filed by County At-'
torney A. G. Co'e. as the result of a
number of complaints from residents j
of the city as to the conduct of the
girl. j
The case is most unfortunate, both
owing to the youth of the young girl I
and the sorrow and grief that it has !
brought to her family, but was a step j
taken as the only possibility of im- j
proving her conduct.
This is only one case of many ,
that have resulted from the habit!
of the girls of the community being j
allowed to run at large until their
parents and relatives are unaoie io
control them and they gradually drift
into the least desirable company that
results in bringing not only sorrow
to their families, but a great grief
to themselves. The present day con
ditions are not the best for the young
girls to be allowed to go when they
please at all hours of the night and
remaining out until the early morn
ing hours and this one case which
is not as serious as a number of oth
ers have proven should be a striking
object lesson to the parents of the
community to check up the actions
of their children.
The law can punish, but the law
is not the power to instruct and
guide the young people in the time j
before they have strayed from the:
straight and narrow path and thisi
responsibility lies with the parents!

ing like a bashful school girl, .mih
Alice M. Robertson, of Oklahoma, yes
terday made her first speech in the
he use.
She engaged in debate after Rep
resentative Mondell, the republican
leader, had declared the federal gov
ernment had "a little park down in
Oklahoma, which it had been trv-
ing to get rid of for several yours. It
had been offered, he said, to Okla
homa, but Oklahomans did not seem
to want it. realizing, he added, that
so long as they may utilize the
property and Uncle Sam pay the
upkeep it is a very satisfactory ar
rangement."
Miss Robertson asked the name, of
the tract, and when told it was
Piatt National park, inquired of Mr.
Mondell if he knew how ft hn 1 been
named. He admitted h didn't, so
she told him that it was named for
the late Senator Piatt of Connecticut,
one of the best friends. If not the
very best, the Indians of Oklahoma
ever had.
The white-haired woman repre
sentative delivered a brief spee.tb in
praise of Senator Piatt and wtun fhe
walked back to her seat was gener
ously applauded by the lnwse.

Chicago. .May 17. The railroad la

for the collection of data for the set
tlement of any future dispute. The

came effective April IS.
Under the classification, the posi
tions on steiim railroads are grouped
In seventeen major service., the ser
vices are sub-divided into lift groups
and within the groups are distinctive
class titles and separate grades.
"The occupational classification,"
the board said, "is not considered by
the board as setting up jurisdiction

the kind of work which employes may
perforin or the duties which they may

and nothing in the classification could
be construed in this light. Its pur

QUINN CASE REVERSED
The state spureme court has re
versed the decision of the district
court of Cass county in the case of
William J. Quinn, et al .vs. Charles
Quinn, which was tried here last sum
mer. This case grows out of the mak
ing of a deed by Mrs. Quinn to her
son. Charles Quinn, who had been
making his home with her, to the
farm on which the family resided
and to which the remaining heirs of
the estate objected. The plaintiffs
alleged undue influence on the part
of the defendant on the mother and
in the hearing in this county secured
a verdict in their favoi setting aside
the deed. The supreme court in re
viewing the case, holds that the will
is valid and stands in law and the
farm in question is the property of
Charles Quinn.

Fabric of the same alluring pebbly weave in a delicate
