The circuit court of Clackamas eoun
ty was affirmed today by the supreme
court in the ease of D. W. Olds appel
lant versus Edwin D. Olds, this being
a suit for damages for personal injur
ies. The opinion was by Justice Moore,
with justices McCamant, Bean and
Iieuson concurring.
In the original suit, the plaintiff ask
ed for 10,000 damages for injuries re
ceived when a team, driven by the plain
tiff in the service of the defendant, ran
away down a steep hill, and because of
a load of lumber slipping, seriously in
juring the plaintiff. The defendant had
hired the plaintiff to haul lumber from
a mill to the aite of a bridge which
was to be built over the Sandy river.
It was claimed in the original action
that the wagon furnished was defective,
and that the defendant was aware of
this fact, that the accident was caused
by the wacron. which hml n I
crowding too close on the horses, and
by the lumber slinmnir. The defm.-
claimed that the pluintiff knew of the
defective wagon, that the accident was
due to negligence of the driver, and
that the accident was unavoidable. A
jury gave the plaintiff $3,500. and the
case was appealed.
in the appeal, the defense advnncAd
the employers liability act, claiming
wmi me iact mat a bridge was being
built placed it in the "engineering"
class, and that as no notice had been
given of refusing the terms of the act,
according to the state law, the opera
tion of the rule should apply. That no
such statement was made in the origin
al complaint was thought by the appel
lant to be sufficient to cause a rever
sal of the verdict. This was not sustain
ed by the supreme court,' which held
that thiB was not necessary under the
circumstances.
Errors in the circuit court proccdings
were cited as cause for the reversal of
the judgment, but the supreme court
held that these did not exist, and of.
firmed the circuit court.
Decision Is Reversed.
In the case of the State of Oregon.
appellant, versus George Shaw alias
Carl Mack, a petition for a writ of
naoeas corpus, appealed from Multno
mah county by the state, the circuit
court was reversed and the case remand
ed. Sraw was arrested in Portland and
aftor a trial before a municipal judge,
sitting as an ex-officio justice of the
pence, he was given 180 days on a
vagrancy charge. The ease was annealed
to the circuit court by a habeas corpus
proceeding, and Bhaw was ordered re
leased, it being contended that as the
justice courts were abolished in Pnrt.
land the trial was invalid, and stating
that a vagrancy charge could, under
the statutes, be tried only bv the -his-
tiee or circuit courts. Insufficient evi
dence for a conviction was also charg
ed. The circuit court released Shaw, and
the case was appealed by the state.
The supreme court, in an oninion nv
Justice Benson, stated trat ample pro
vision is made for tho municipal courts
to try any canes in which a violation
of the city statutes are charged and that j
as a result the conviction of Shaw was
valid. The question of insufficient evi

STUPENDOUS GERMAN
(Continued from fag one)
By Car P. Groat'
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, April 2- American
trade is being stripped to the bone to
provide tonnage for speeding troops
abroad.
Shipment of non-essentials is being
so curtailed, it is intimated, that much
additional shipping is being obtained
from unexpected quarter. Already
troop transport has been materially in
creased over earlier months of this
year.
Substantial .national army and na
tional guard reinforcements of Gener
al Pershing's army will be oa the fir
ing line before the hottest summer
weather sets in, it is declared.
America is responding steadily to
the call of France and Britain for
more troops All arms of the war gov
ernment are cooperating to keep the
transport liaee uu'broken during the
great western front crisis.
Xhe announcement in indon that
United States troops would be brigad
ed with allied units, officers here said
will not affect most of the forces now
in Prance.
Pershing's men for the most part
are sufficiently trained to take up
their part w rt-he great battle, it is
stated.
If the fighting reaches the point,
however, where it will be necessary to
use every available man, military men
here say the plan announced by lon
don no doulbi will be adopted. By that
method the newer units moving to
France ca.u assume a role before un
dergoing a long period of training ov
er there.
American officers here said almost
any American division could be thrown
into the fiht without much further
training and give as good an account
of itself as the raw British unite did
at the first Yores battle. -"But we
must consider ttat the commanders of
unit must learn a great deal more
then the men," they added.
" Conaetiuontly it would be an ad
vantage to have our new units brigad
ed with. French or British so that our
commanding officers could aecom-
'pany the allied cewmanders vt . bri
gades as observers, thus learning vai
uable lessons in the Bundling of troops
in large masses
New restrictions on imports are to be
iiaiinouncen shortly.
While no statement had been issued
here up to early, (today, the understand
g was that the men to be brigaded
with the allies would constitute scat
tered units less seasoned than the bulk
of the American forces. They will, have
bad general training however, and pr ib
ably more of it than the Britisr give
meir men.
ui we American; forces now in
France a large percentage are auxiliary
troops, skilled workers, foresters, engin
eers, etc. By devoting most of the trans
port space during the next few months.
largely to fighting men, there are some
officers who believe the number of sol
diers that could be transported might
De tripled. , , ,
At the same time the transport of
men thoroughly trained and waiting iu
cantonments is being rushed to the last
degree. The voluntary censorship pre
vents dealing in figures, but the gen
eral thought here is that the canton
ments will be stripped of the first call
men by August.
Their places will be filled by second
draft men as rapidly as the canton
ments have space for them.
The tier ma n offensive, staking Ger
many's all on the outcome, has forced
the allies to strengthen their man power
rapidly. Britain is on the verge of new
measures to enlarge her army hurriedly.
And, with America increasing her for
ces considerably above original sched
ules, it is manifest to military men that
there is an effort on to make this west
ern struggle the last bigone.
They believe the war will probably
go on another year or more beyond this
battle, but with Germany stodd off or
beaten back, the victory will be with
the allies.
