Martin, truck driver, against the Oregon Stages, lac, for personal injuries suffered in a collision on the Pacific highway near Hubbard, was reduced to $30,000 in an opinion handed down by the -state supreme court here Tuesday. The opinion was written by Chief Justice Coshow, with Jus tices Belt and Rand concurring. Neither Justice Rossman nor Jus tice McBrlde participated In the case.. The Judgment of $77,202, awarded to Mr. Perry In the Mult nomah county circuit court was the largest ever handed down in a personal injury case in the state of Oregon. The record In the case showed that Martin, after starting- his truck from Knight's Rest where he had eaten, discovered the fog light was loose and waving to and fro so as to cast its rays athwart the highway. He stopped the truck to adjust the light after having driven It as far off the highway as he safely could. The night was dark. It was raining and there was considerable traffic at the place and time of the collision. The plaintiff testified that the left wheels of the truck were on the highway about two feet and the body extended a foot farther fram tha rirht border of the Daved nnrtinn. Mr. . Martin allexed that the stage was being driven at an unlawful rate of speed, that the stage was not under control and that the driver failed to Keep a proper lookout. It also was alleged that the stage was not equipped with a windshield wiper, or any device for keeping it free of rain. The defendant cnargea conirio utory negligence on the part of tha nlatnttff on the rround8 that he had parked his truck on the main traveled portion oi me nign wbt t a time when it was not disabled. 4t also was alleged that the truck driven by tne piainun waa Tint ennlnned With a red light. and that its load projected more than three ieet over me rear thereof.

LETTER OF UflCOUl TO IB FOUuD Purposes of God in Bring : Ing Right End to War Are Discussed WHEELING. W. Va. fAP Sprlna: house-cleaninc has reveal ed a letter, purported to have been written by Abraham Lincoln. which apparently had been hidden for years between the leaves of an old hook at the home of Dr. Wil liam C. McKInley at Warwood, a suburb. The letter, dated September 4, 1864. is addressed to Eliza P. Gurney, a Quaker, and deals with the opposition of the Society of Friends to war. Trying to Trace Gurney The McKInley family, of Qua ker origin. Is attempting to trace "Eliza P. Gurney." The text ,of the letter follows: . "EXECUTIVE MANSION. "Washington, Sep. 4, 1864. "Eliza P. Gurney, "My Esteemed Friend: ' "I have not forgotten, probably never shall forget the very Im pressive occasion when yourself and friends visited me on a Sab- hath forenoon two -years ago. Nor has your kind letter, written near ly a year ago, ever' been forgot ten. In all. It has been your pur pose to strengthen my reliance on God. I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the coun try for their constant prayers and consolations; and to no one of them, more than to yourself. . Purpose Perfect The purposes of the Almighty are perfect and must prevail, though we erring mortals may fail to accurately perceive them In advance. We. hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge His wisdom and our own error therein. - "Meanwhile we must work ear nestly in the best light He gives us, trusting that so working still conduces to the great ends He or dained whereby He Intends some great good to follow this mighty convulsion which no mortal eould make and no mortal could stay. Great Trial to Quaker Tour people the Friends have had, and are having a very great trial. On principle, and faith, opposed to both war and oppression, they can only prac tically oppose oppression by war. In this hard dilemma, some have chosen one horn and some the other. "For those appealing to me on conscientious grounds, I have done, and shall do, the best I could and can, In my bwn con science, under my oath to law.
