1. ““Whatever may be said upon the question of willfulness, it is perfectly clear that the court did not find, it could not have found, that the violations were not the result of failure to take practicable precautions. Here the defendant did not even attempt to prove that he took practicable precautions against the occurrence of the violations. Indeed, the record, showing that he took no precautions, establishes the exact contrary. The record standing thus, the judgment awarded was entirely within the discretion of the district judge, and it is affirmed.””
