AFFIRM $8000 VERDICT
Court of Appeals Finally Settles Drawn-Out Actiax.
After fivp years" litijration, final judrment for ?«,000 -was entered in the Cminty Clerk's office on Friday last by Counselor Elvin N. Kdwards. on behalf of the plaintiff in the case of 8. Dimon .Smith vs. DayKSn Hedfres of Patchogue. This action graw out of an assignefl claim to S. Dimon ISmith. in which the Pioneer Iron Works of Brooklyn sued to recover the sum of $8,000 on two notes aggre¬ gating that sum.
The action started early in 191,1, and on the first trial before the l,Tle Justice Samuel T. Maddox, a verdict waa rendered for the defendant and an appeal waa taken by Elvin N. Ed¬ wards, aa attorney for the plaintiff, to the Appellate Division, and there the same was reversed and .<tent back for a new trial.
Upon the new trial before .lustice Crane, the jury rendered a vprdict for $8,000. The defendant appealed to the Appellate Division, which affirmed the lower court, and upon a^p- peal to the Court of Appeals, the de¬ fendant was again defeated.
The litigation grew out of tho buiidins: of a large asphalt plant of the Pioneer Iron Works of Brooklyn for Dayton Hedges in New York City. The claim was made by Hedges that the work was not done properly and that there was no consideration for the notes given.
BALDWIN
On Thursday afternoon, March 14, the Advance Club of Baldwin met at the home of Mrs. William Raynor of Harrison avenue, .Mrs. Robert Smith acting as hostess for the afternoon. The subject of the "Current TopicV was ably covered by Mrs. (George .M. Bode and .Mrs. O. .Armbruster.
Several motions were made and car¬ ried that letters of disapproval be sent respecting dangerous and un¬ sightly thoroughfares, and urging their correction. Mu.st we wait until even more serious accicients have hap¬ pened for these places to be fixed? People have fallen from ill-lighted and precipitous breaks in the walks long enoug^h.
The memljers of the club have with¬ out exception adopted the Red Cross habit as well as tlie badge, and small garments for suffering: babies across seas were very much in evidence, as well as sweaters and helmets.
GERMAN KULTUR MUST GO
I German kultur and our ideals i
cannot both exist in the world. ;
i "Germany's views form an im- 1
passable gulf between us. Ours
is the will to serve humanity; [
I theirs the will of power, and there i
! is not room enough in this world I
I ifor those two ideals. |
I '.'New York state's quota of men ,
i for the American army was to |
I have been 122,000. I>o you know {
how many this state gave? It gave i
I 1G4,000 men. We had to hold them !
: back. From 40,000 to 42,000 men |
! of New York State volunteered. |
I They insisted upon gx>ing. They i
I were not in the draft, but were I
; determined to get into the scrap !
! somehow.
"Be assured of this—^we will | I send 164,000 more, and yet anoth- | I er 164,000 rather than see this I i country's cause fail."—Governor \ i Charles S. Whitman. |
