Court Awards Youngster
$14,000 For Loss of His
Right Leg in Collision
By Associated Press
Springfield, Mass., June 24.—A jury '
in the Superior Court awarded a ver- I
diet of $14,000 to Edward Collins in I
his suit against the Holyoke Street I
Railway Company. Collins, who is 10
years old, lost his right leg as a result
of a collision between trolley cars in
June, 1912. The railroad company
admitted liability, but argued that ar
tificial legs have been so perfected
that the loss of a leg is no longer a
serious handicap. Attorney William
P. Hayes, for the plaintiff, called at
tention to the profession of baseball
as one from which young Collins is
barred and said that he could never
fellow in the footsteps of his illus
trious namesake, Edward Collins, of
the Philadelphia Athletics.

It was said that at least one of the

fulfilled the international side of the
controversy will be cleared up, leaving
the question of selecting a provisional

DIVIDEND PASSED ON
PAN HANDLED SSYTEM
[Continued From First Page]
Three months ago the dividerid rate
on the Panhandle preferred stock was
reduced from 5 to 4 per cent, and on
the common stock from 5 to 3 per
cent, per annum in the quarterly dis
tributions then made.
In anticipation of to-day's action
there had been a sharp decline in the
price of the company's shares.
The outstanding capital stock of the
Pennsylvania company Is $80,000,000,
all of which is owned by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad.
The Panhandle directors decided to
hereafter consider dividends semi
annually in June and December in»
stead of quarterly.
Statement Issued
In announcing its dividend action
the Panhandle board issued a state
ment, saying:
"The company in recent years has
declared 5 per cent, dividends per
annum on both classes of stock, in
cluding the year 1913, when that com
pany and other lines in the same ter
ritory suffered severely from the dis
astrous floods.
"In the latter year the company
failed to earn the dividends paid to
the extent of $2,600,000, but the di
rectors believed it a wise policv to
continue the dividends at the regular
rate and utilized a large part of the
surplus from previous years for that
purpose.
"In March, 1914, however, the di
rectors deemed it prudent, in view of
the large decrease in gross and net
earnings, to reduce the dividends, and
declared a dividend of 1 per cent, on
thf preferred stock and three-fourths
of 1 per cent, on the common stock.
Since that time conditions have not
improved, there having been a con
tinued and increasing decline in gross
earnings, and the directors decided
that the reduced earnings of the com
pany did not justify the declaration of
any dividend on the common stock,
and declared a dividend on the pre
ferred stock of one-half of 1 per cent."
The Pennsylvania Railroad directors
declared the usual quarterly dividend
of 1 % per cent.

within the next few days concerning
the changes in the plans for the Post
Office enlargement made necessary by
the additional appropriation of $75,000

Kreider act.
Mr. Sites is very much interested in

champion heavyweight pugilist, will
weigh about 210 pounds when he en

To-day Johnson went for his cus
tomary six miles of road work. On
returning to his quarters at Asnieres,
a. suburb of Paris, he put himself into
the hands of his negro trainers for his
afternoon work, consisting of throwing

{MEDICAL MEN HOLD
SECTIOIL MEETS
Dr. £. .Chapin Reports on Baby
Incubators and Says They
Are a Failure
By Associated Press
Atlantic City, N. J., June 24.—Th®
3,600 members of the American Medl
| eal Association were busy to-day at
| tending the many sectional meetings
arranged for an exchange of views on
public health.
This year's session has already
taken higher ground with regard to
recommendations than in any previous
year. A higher standard for entrance
into medical schools is one of the rec
ommendations. A more general co
operation of the practitioner with the
layman is another. Unrelenting war
on nostrums is still another. Prob
ably the most radical suggestion yet
made Is that the public welfare would
be conserved if every man, woman
and child were to be subjected to a
compulsory examination as to physical
fitness once in every year.
The infant incubator has been more
of a failure than a success. Dr. E.
Chapin, of New York, reported in a
paper before the section on diseases of
children. Out of 150 personal experi
ences with the incubator for infants,
he could not report one satisfactory re
sult, death resulting in the great ma
jority of instances. He urged that the
House of Delegates be asked to de
clare against Its further use.
Wants Fitted Men
Dr. M. F. Ravenal, of Madison,
Wiss., before the section on preventive
medicine and public health, said the
day had come when it was time to
take the public health officers of
every municipality from under politi
cal and see that a man was named
for such a position with a view to his
fitness for it.
He urged that all medical colleges
institute special courses for the edu
cation of public health officers.
Dr. Hurty, Indianapolis, a member
of the committee on poverty, said the
normal person never sank to the level
of poverty. In the main poverty was
caused by sins un'mentionable in a
public gathering and the eradication
of sin and disease would remove pov
erty. Tuberculosis played its part, but
feeblemindedness was one of the prin
cipal factors.
