| THREE DIE BEFORE
| Trial Consumed One Hundred and
| Forty-Four Days and Cost $750,000—
' $2,500,000 Involved.
London, Jan. 2.—The longest and
one of the most unusual lawsuits ever
heard in the English courts has just
been decided. It involved the owner
ghip of $2,500,00 in gold which the
Amalgramaten Psoperties of Rhonesia,
Ltd., owners of: a million acres: in
Rhodesia, claimed that the Globe and
Phoenix Gold Mining company, which
owns the richest gold mine in the
world, had taken from the Rhodesia
property. As if to he consistent the
court occupied two hours in deliver
ing judgment. : ,
The case lasted 144 days and cost
$750,000. One witness was on the
stand sixteen days, and another who
was on teh stand almost as 16fig, died.
Two other men who were interested
in the case died before it was con
cluded,
More than 50,000 questions were
put to witnesses and answered. In
the final summing up counsel for the
defendants spoke for 45 days. Chief
counsel for the defense received a
fec of $5,000 and his ‘‘refresher” or
daily charge was $5OO.
The documents in the case were so
volumnous that two large rooms
were crowded with maps, assays and
reports. The proceedings were enliv
encd by stirring scenes between op
posing counsel and apologies were Or
dered by the court.
In deciding the case, Justice Eve
dismissed the action on the ground
that the Amalgramated Properties had
failed to prove that the gold was ex
tracted from its mine which adjoin
’ed that of the Globe and Phoenix.

EFFICIENCY IN SHOOTING
Munich' ‘Germany, Jan. 4.—Tests
recently conducted by the Bavarian
ministry of war upon the effect of al
cohol upon marksmanship were car
ried out B¥’2o marksmen on 20 tests
the total number of shots fired being
’30,000‘.’ The result showed, accord
ing to Prof. Dr. Kraeplin, whose re
port on thé subject is reprinted in the
Military Weekly, an average falling
off in marksmanship of about 3 per
‘ceut as the result of the consumption
‘of 40 grams of alcohol, corresponding
‘roughly to the amount contained in a
liter of beer. The effect was most per
ceptible 25 to 30 minutes after absorb
ing the alcohol. Most of the marks
men shoe eveq,.y%q;se than the aver
age, several of? em 8, 10 and even
12 per cent worse. One of the amus
ing sidelights on the tests was that
several of the riflemen insisted not
only that thei could but actually were
shooting better after gettong the
spirits while in reality their marks
manship had fallen off as much as 10
per cent.

SAYS DE_FEAT WOULD
COST TEUTONS MUCH
Paris, Jan. 4—A French Economist,
Barthlemy Rey, who is the first
Frenchman of any mnote to examine
the subjedt of indemnity in detalil,
declares that if the entente allies are
victorious Germany will be called up
on to pay 401 billion francs, or, at the
normal rate of exchange, about 80
billion dollars. He says that the Cen
tral powers will be able to pay off the
whole of such an indemnity in 50
years at the rate of nearly 15 billion
a year.
Summing up, according to M. Rey,
’on assumption that the war will cosi
tinue until next July, the items of in
demnity are:
Allies’ state war expenses, 280 bil
lion; allies’ provincial expenses, 10
billion; allies, compensation for dam
age, 36 billion; allies’ pension, 76 bil
lion. Total 401 billion. -
