"Although an Infantry commander by training," he says, "General Petain has made 1 a special study of artillery. He was 4ulck to understand the value of barrier fire as a tremendous instrument of modern artillery and one peculiarly suited to French genius and also the destructive powers of the famous seventy- flve-mjlllmeter un.

The highly developed telephone service of the Verdun front en ables the barrier fire to be turned on at any- point in forty seconds, and a single battery of seven-fives can then render impassable a zone of considerable length and breadth. in the use or the heavy artillery General Petain also excels.

SADDLING BELL Salamonie on the east comes a crowd of hustling, bustling Republicans. While tht-re Is competition between the candidates and their friends there is no spirit of ugly rivalry that in times past pervaded state conventions.

There are no slates and there are no frameups. To be sure every candidate is anxious to get the nomination, but every candidate is willing to give the other fellow all that is coming to nlm. Those who have been attending state conventions for years declare that this is one in which there is less acrimony and less vindictlvenesa than any that has been held for a long time. The Repub lics appear to realize that this is their year to howl and thev don't wish to do anything that will Jnterfere with the success of the party 1 November. On every hand you can hear the declaration.

"Weil, jf 1 don't get it I am a Republican still, but not a still Republican." The rank and file realizes that the Democrat 'state machine has brought about a condi tion in Indiana that the people of the state-will not Btand for and this year the time to knock the props from under that machine. So those who are here are unanimous in the opinion that the best way to have harmony Is to have harmony, and there will be no sore spots cure or wounds to heal when the nominations are over. That is the sentiment that one finds in the big crowd that thronging about the" hotels. Frank Gentry, of Bloomlngton, one of the owners of the Gentry shows. Was nominated for the legislature in the late primary, and the indications are that he will be elected.

He was crushed between a car and a building that was about six inches from the rails and because of the accident a judgment of J2D.0O0 was given against thn Big Four company in the Benton circuit court.

Judge Montgomery, writing the opinion the supreme court, reversed this judgment, lit held that Perkins's complaint which charged "that said injuries to plaintiff wholly -resulted from the negligence and want of care of the and the breach vt its duty him" waa fatally defective because it lailed to characterize the defendant's act as negligent. He further held that the complaint alleging that the plaintiff was onfered to go up on the ladder of a car in the dark and set the brake and was crushed against the building, which was within about six inches of the track and about which defendant had not warned him. was fatally defective (1) because It did not show the company was maintaining the building so close to the track as to make it t'angerous and i) that there was no duty of the company to notify the employe of the danger. This rase is reported in 171 Wilful Negligence Question. Judge Montgomery decided a case in 1910 which in effect abolished the legal rule regarding wilful negligence.

This was th case of the C. C. C. St. L.

Railway Company vs. Staraa, 174 345; N. E. 54 tJune 11. 1910, in' which a Judgment of in Mrs.

Starke's favor was reversed. The complaint in this case proceeded on the theory of wilfulness that plaintiff's decedent was killed by the wilful act of the defendant company in running its team over him. The Jower court instruct, ed the Jury that "to constitute wilful In-Jury, the act which produced such Injury must have been Intentional, or done under such circumstances as evinced a reckless disregard for the safety of others and a willlneneRM to InfUot a Inlurv." Th supreme court held that the giving of this instruction was" reversible error, stating that the negligence, can not be ot such degree as to constitute wilfulness and that purpose and design are necessary to a charge of wilfulness, which Is inconsistent with negligence. This tase was first appealed to the appellate court. There-the Judgment of the lower court was a-fflrmed in an opinion written by Judge Ruby.

But this opinion ann the authority on-which its was based (Palmer R. Co 112 54, written by-Judge Elliott) and the rule of law stated therein that "there may- be a wilful act in a lesal sense without a formed and direct Intention to kill or wound there may, in other Words, -be! a constructive or an implied Intent without an express one." was overruled. The disadvantage Of this rule to the plaintiff, is that no matter how gross the negligence of the company he must have been free tne siigntest neginence. In case of wilful injury the one who inflicts it is liable in damages regardless of his contributory neRligence. It now seems that it Is Impossible In this state to charge In the case of a com-nnv that an Inturv which results in death was wilfully inflicted without charging the servant of the company with -manslaughter.

I Other Cases. In Wabash R. Co. vs. Haskett.

170 370. a Jury In Miami county gave the plaintiff a verdict for 16.500 for the, death of ber husband. Judge Montgomery reversed the giving as his reasons that the complaint was Insufficient to sustain the Judgment. He held that Mrs. Haskett's attorneys had pleaded conclusions in their attempt to allege their complaint what the law of Illinois was.

The complainant soutcht to recover damages for the death caused by the company's negligence occurring in Illinois. The allegation objected to was "that by the common law cf the- stute of Illi nois on October 13, 14. 105. employes of railroad corporations operating lines of railroads In such state, were renow servants only where such employes were broUKht together in direct co-i ertlion In the performance of a particular work, and were directly co-operating with' each other In a particular work at the time. Judxe Montgomery said after quoting the above allegation: ts manifestly no declaration as to wh-at the com mun law of Illinois was upon the dates named; Dut without settirg out the sub stance of such law with regard to fellow servants, the pleader has interpreted and construen it tor nimseir ani merely at levres conclusion as to its legal effect." The Judge did not explain how the plaintiff could "set out the substance of said law" in any other manner than that in which he did.

The common re ferred to is not In statute form, but is the law as It has grown up from tbe decisions of the court. In the above crse Judge. Montgomery further held that the complaint alleging "by the rules of the company that cer tain duties w-ere imposed was insufficient necause 11 aia not set torin tne ruies themselves. The Masteison Case. The case of Mastereon vs.

The South ern Railroad Company was appealed from Dubois county. The Jury returned a verdict tn favor of Mrs. Masterson for the death of her husband for $3,500. The circuit Judge Judgment In favor of the railroad company notwlthstand lna the verdict. Mrs.

Masterson appealed her case. It first went to the sppellate court, where Judge Kooy reversed the Judgment and ordered the case retried. This opinion is printed in az rs page iuzl The railroad company then filed a petition in the euDreme court to transfer the case from the appellate court to the supreme court. The cake 'as transferred and Judge Montgomery deciifd favor of tins company for the following technical reason: That in the trial court both patties had moved for Judgment in their favor: that the court In sustaining the railroad company motion and rendering its Judgment without an exception by the plaintiff, conclusively 4 bowed plaintiff's acquiescence In such Judgment: even though immediately following, it is shown, plaintiff's motion was overruled and an exception raken thereto by the plaintiff. Whrn tne cjm aai be for the appellate court.

Judge Rcby decided as follows: "Jt was proper practice for each party to move tor judgment, and an exception by one party to th overruling or his motion or to the eusiatniug ot his adversary's motion equally presents the question on appeal." Ihe supreme court and the appellate court differed on another roint in this case. The attorneys lor Mrs. Masterson filed a motion for juogment on the general verdict of January Zi. and the clerk placed his file stamp on it on that date. Tne clerk delayed tn making up his record and made bis entry January 2 tbe plaitruff ijow moves the court tor iudsmnt." kludge Roby.

in the appellate court, held that a party In an action ivho makes a seasonable motion for Judgment on tbe veroict rendered can not be deprived of his exception by delay in making a record of suci fact, aad failure to caa-ke a mONTGOM 1 record entry of the time Sf filing was a mere emission which the court might have cor.ticted. "If ih which the proceeding was had i to he -taken as conforming to the oiCe' of entry. said Judae Roby in his opinion, "the result would be that the court would be "convicted of the absurdity cf ruling upvn' each motion t.eloro it was filed." Jud Montgomery had the last word, however, as was th Judge of the highest court, and he held that the Indorsement on th pnper by the clerk, "Piled January a. 1." would be disregarded and that the order book entry on January 26 was conclusive evidence of the filing such motion on January Judge Montgomery's opinion Is found in 170 Ind Page 296.
