FOREMAN'S DUTY DEFINED Laborer Supposed to Bo Protected When Acting Under Orders. Jury May Decide on Com- pany's .Negligence. , 'When a foreman in charge of a. con struction crew ana train orders a la borer to go between oars it Is his duty to notify the conductor or ethers e that th laborer will net be.ejposjd to needless danger. It Is for a Jury to say whethor a mill company is negligent inweaving wheels exposed and floors slippery and whether a bey exercises duo care. SALEM, On, Aug. la. (Special.) Two corporations suffered defeat in damage cases in the Supreme Court to day the Oregon "Water Powor & Rail way Company and the Oregon City Manufacturing Company. In both cases the defendants set up the plea of con tributory negligence, but the Supreme Court finds against them and holds that the injured persons are ontitlod to re cover damAgos. In the case of Andrew Sorenson. re spondent, vs. Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, appellant, from Multnomah County, Justice Bean wrote an opinion modifying the judgment en tered by Judge Sears in the Circuit Court. The modification consists of the elimination of the allowance Of inter est from the date of verdict to the date of judgment. In all other respects the judgment is affirmed. Sorenson was omployod as a laborer op construction work and was ordered by nis superior to go between the cars tp couple the air hose. Neither the con ductor or motorman was notified that Sorenson was between the cars, ipie cars in front wore suddenly backed down againbt those between whieh Sorenson was working and he suffered a fractured leg. The jury gave him a verdict for I1S.000 and this the court reduced to $9-150, with interest from date of verdict to date of Judgment. The Supreme Court holds that it was not the duty of Sorenson to notify the "train men of his position between the cars but he had a right to assume that Adams, who stood in the place of the master, would not subject him to needless danger or extraordinary haz ard. It Is hold that the laws of this state do not authorize the allowance of in terest upon unliquidated damages aris ing out of a suit until made certain by judgment. Mundhcnke vs. 3Ianufacturing Co. "Walter F. Mundhenks, respondent. Vs. Oregon City Manufacturing Com pany, appellant, from Clackamas Coun l. T. A. McBride, Judge, affirmed; opin ion by Chief Justice "Wolverton. The plaintiff was a boy of 16 years, employed in the woolon mills at Oregon City. Ho was injured by slipping upon a greasy floor and falling with his arm between tne exposod cog wheels of machinery in motion. At the trial, which resulted in a vorjdict for $400 damages, the defendant contended taut the boy assumed the risk of the em ployment. The Supreme Court says: It is but a humane duty that employers or youth about factories should observe every reasonable precaution to protect the compara tively unwary from accident and disaster. If the gearing in the present instance had been covered or hooded, which could have been done at a trifling expense, no accident could have happenel, and if the alnle had ben kept clean of grease it Is quite probable that the rtault would have been avoided. The condition of the passageway was vari able and was surely out of condition at times as the carrier-boys were slipping and falling occasionally. This presents a matter for the jury to say whether or not it was negligence in the defendant to allow it to get into an unsafe condition and whether .plaintiff usod the precaution that boys of his age are want to observe to a'oid the dancer. Other Decisions Given. "William Horn, respondent, vs. U. S. Mining. Securities & Trust Company, appellants, from Douglas County. J. "W. Hamilton. Judge, affirmed: opinion by Chief Justice "Wolverton.

Henry Wcmme, appellant, from Mult nomah County. Alfred F. Sears. Judge, affirmed: opinion by Justice Moore. Held that an equitable defense can not be pleaded in, answer to a com plaint In an action at law. F. B. Jones, appellant, vs. Carrie S. Jones, respondent, from Multnomah County, A. F. Sears.

WHY HE FLED TO VICTORIA Judges, Attorneys, Newspapers and 'the Hibernia Bnnk, of San Francisco, He Says, Are Hounding Him. VICTORIA, B. C Aug. K. George JD. Collins, the levanting San Francisco law yer, being tried for extradition for perjury before Judge Lam proa n. while on the wit ness stand today in his own defense, spoke for about two hours, detailing a con spiracy, which, he alleges, was launched at San Francisco to railroad him to Jail and from which he fled to Victoria. Collins said the conspiracy was launched by the Hibernian Bank ami aided by Judges Lawkr, Kerrigan and Graham, the grand Jury empanelled at San Francisco by Judge Lawlor. the Bar Association, and the San Francisco Chronicle, Call, Examiner and Bulletin newspapers. He had their enmity because his aggressive ness on the part of his clients having offended Judges and lawyers by securing the rolease of clients on various grounds after Juries had convicted them, and Judges were antagonistic to him because he reversed some of their decision?, among others that of Judge Morrow, convicting Williams, a customs' inspector, of importing Chinese women, because of which Judge Morrow had stated he fixed up the record. Collin a detailed many cases he had at San Francisco wherein he secured the release -of accused after conviction on technlcaltles. notably the case of Turner, accused of swindling, who was afterward shot and killed by a victim In front of Collins' office, and Hansted and others accused of being ia league with the then public administrator to loot the John Sullivan estate by producing a false heir. Because of his having secured the release or these porsons he had been attacked by press, bar and public at San Francisco and Incurred the enmity of Judges. They were also antagonistic to him because lie was lntrumental In preventing the police by legal means from raiding houses of prostitution and gambiihg-houses and be cause he secured the removal of Police Commissioner Hut ton with Mayor Schmltz's assistance, because of which he was alleged by those arrayed In the conspiracy against him to be the lawyer of the Schmitz administration. The Hibernian Bank started the prose cution against him, because, while repre senting a claim against the Robinson es tate upon which the bank had a mortgage he found the mortgage had been lost. He was threatened with disbarment proceed ings by the bank unless he desisted from the action. When his wife. Agnes Newman, died, she had an account In the Hibernian Bank which she assigned to him. and he toade affidavit at the bank in withdraw ing the money. Later, after his wife's death, William Newman, her brother, offered his services to the Hibernian Bank because the witness would not give him part of the money, and stated falsely the witness had married his sister Charlotta instead of Agnes. The charg of bigamy, said Collins, was instituted at the Instance of the Hibern ian Bank poople. those Interested in pub lishing the San Francisco Chronicle. Judges Lawlor. Kerrigan, and to some extent. Judge Graham, who was against him because he collected a debt from an actor. Thompson, who was Graham's friend, by arresting him when on the stage of the Columbia Theater at San Francisco attired as Richelieu. Newman had gone before the grand Jury and the present prosecution started from which he fled. In cross-examination by Frank Hlgglns. for the State of California, he strenuous ly denied tho marriage with Charlotta Collins, and said all the evidence given by Thomas Curran. William Newman and the depositions of Charlotta and Flor ence Newman were absolutely false. The Newmans sought to blackmail him. If doctors had sworn they had bean present at the birth of the children of Charlotta Collins they had perjured themselves. The children now with Charlotta Collins wore the Issue of his marriage with Agnes Newman and his friends at Ban Francisco would provide for them until he was out of the meshes of this conspiracy. The cross-examination of Collins will be continued tomorrow. TESTIFIED AGAINST HIMSELF Cornell's Attorney Moves for Quash ing of Perjury Indictment. BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 15. (Special.)
