United States Supreme Court
227 U.S. 637
Baxter v. Buchholz-Hill Transportation Company
Argued: February 24, 1913. --- Decided: March 10, 1913
Messrs. Charles C. Burlingham, Norman B. Beecher, and Ray Rood Allen for plaintiff in error.
Mr. Arthur English for defendant in error.
Memorandum opinion by direction of the court. By Mr. Justice Holmes: This is an action brought by the Buchholz-Hill Transportation Company, defendant in error, against Baxter for failing to use due diligence in locating and marking a sunken coal barge with a buoy, as he had agreed to, by reason of which failure a tug ran into the wreck and was sunk. It is alleged that the owners of the tug libeled the barge in the admiralty, that the Buchholz-Hill Company answered and filed a petition to bring in Baxter under the 59th admiralty rule, that the district court entered a decree against the barge, but gave costs to Baxter without prejudice to a new action against him; and that the circuit court of appeals affirmed the decree. The defendant set up the decree dismissing the libel as against him, alleging that the decision was upon the merits, and that the decree, in so far as it purported to be without prejudice, was not warranted by law. The appellate division and the court of appeals both held the plea bad. 142 App. Div. 25, 126 N. Y. Supp. 514, 206 N. Y. 173, 99 N. E. 180.
The defendant relies upon the fact that the circuit court of appeals in its opinion expressed a decision upon the merits. The Macy, 96 C. C. A. 146, 170 Fed. 930. But upon motion it so far changed its view as to exclude such a decision, and to leave it open to the company to bring a new action. The matter was still in the breast of the court; it was free to change its opinion if it saw fit, and it was free to do so by changing the decree without delivering a new opinion to explain what the decree made manifest. If it thought, rightly or wrongly, that the collateral question of the present defendant's liability could not be tried in that case, it properly embodied its decision in the decree. The decree is the dominant act, and cannot be given a greater effect than it purports to have and than would be warranted by the opinion that the court finally reached.
Writ of error dismissed.

United States Supreme Court
284 U.S. 578
Baxter v. Continental Casualty Company
Argued: Oct. 26, 1931. ---
This action was originally brought in the circuit court, city of St. Louis, Mo., and was removed to the District Court of the United States upon the ground of diversity of citizenship. The action was upon a policy of automobile insurance issued by the defendant, and recovery depended upon judgment having been obtained and execution thereon having been returned unsatisfied in an action against the assured. It was shown that action had been brought in the state court against the assured, the Southwest Motor Sales Company, a Missouri corporation, and also against one Harry Shields, its executive officer. Process had been served upon Shields personally, and jurisdiction of the Southwest Motor Sales Company had been sought by constructive service under the Missouri law. Judgment by default had been entered against both defendants, and execution had been returned unsatisfied.
In the present action the Circuit Court of Appeals, affirming judgment for the defendant, held that the insurance policy which the defendant had issued did not cover Shields and that the service in the action against the Southwest Motor Sales Company was invalid under the decisions of the state court. Priest v. Capitain, 236 Mo. 446, 457, 139 S. W. 204; Moss v. Fitch, 212 Mo. 484, 497, 111 S. W. 475, 126 Am. St. Rep. 568. As the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals merely applied the law of the state, no question is presented which gives this court jurisdiction of the appeal. Public Service Commission of Indiana et al. v. Batesville Telephone Co., 284 U.S. 6, 52 S.C.t. 1, 76 L. Ed. 135, decided this day.
Appeal dismissed.

# Canadian Alpine Journal/Volume 1/Number 1/Biographical Sketch—The All Red Line

EDITORIAL NOTE
Such a noteworthy event as the attainment of his eightieth birthday by the founder of the first Alpine Club of Canada, at the summit of Rogers pass in 1883, and the Patron and Honorary President of the Alpine organization formed last year at Winnipeg, cannot fail to be of the very deepest interest to all our members, and, owing to his many scientific and commercial achievements, to the British Empire.
Thanks to the four sons of Sir Sandford Fleming, we have secured the privilege of presenting to the public with this volume a reduced facsimile of a birthday address presented to their father by his descendants on the day when he reached the mature age of eighty years, January 7th, 1907. The original is a beautifully illuminated sheet, about double the size of the appended copy, which is merely in outline. It furnishes a terse but eloquent autobiography.
We are indebted, in part, to these gentlemen for the explanation which follows. Two of them accompanied their father across the mountains. Major Frank Fleming in 1872, and Sandford Hall Fleming in 1883. The first by the Yellow Head pass, the second by the Bow river and Rogers passes.
REDUCED FACSIMILE OF ILLUMINATED BIRTHDAY ADRESS
It is difficult at a glance to grasp the full significance of the proposal to establish an unbroken chain of state-owned cable-telegraphs connecting all the self-governing British communities in both hemispheres, but by those who have studied the matter, it is regarded to be of immense Imperial importance. At the three Colonial Conferences assembled in 1887, 1894 and 1902 the subject was under consideration. At the two first mentioned, Sir Sandford, representing Canada, as one of the delegates, took a prominent part in the discussions, and his matured views were placed before the Conference assembling in London on April 15th, 1907. For twenty years he has had the keenest desire to promote the project and has never spared himself or lost an opportunity of advancing it. The Empire Cable scheme is one of his highest ideals. He believes most thoroughly that, when eventually consummated, it will, by bringing all the autonomous units of the Empire around the globe into one friendly neighborhood, electrically and telegraphically, become the indirect means of quickening trade, making more effective the ties of sympathy, more enduring the bonds of sentiment, and thus add strength and stability to the great sisterhood of British nations—the development of the new century we have entered on.

GREETINGS
By William Whyte
The opening of the Alpine Club's Season of 1907 is awaited with the most pleasurable anticipation by great numbers of whole-hearted and patriotic Canadians. That the coming Season will be an epoch in the history of the Club is my firm conviction. With its large membership and loyal adherents all, awaiting eagerly the time when they may be permitted to try conclusions with the glorious peaks and mountain passes in our great West, the Club has, within itself, the quality of unlimited success.
With my early experiences in the Canadian Rockies, I could, perhaps, speak with authority on the subject of our wonderful mountain ranges, but the time and space at my disposal would not permit of my doing full justice to them. I might say, however, that although countless books and articles have been published in laudation of the Canadian Rockies, a great deal has been left unsaid.
​When one considers the personnel of the Club and the field they have chosen for their outing this season, one cannot help but prophesy that the Camp this year will be a great success, and I cannot too strongly urge all of our young Canadians to attend, when the opportunity will be afforded them of climbing their own mountains and thus securing an appreciation of some of the beauties of their own country.

# Burton letter to Sykes

From Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al Madinah and Meccah (1855)

## TO COLONEL WILLIAM SYKES, F.R.SOC., M.R.G.SOC., M.R.A.SOC.,AND LORD RECTOR OF THE MARISCHAL COLLEGE, ABERDEEN.

I DO not parade your name, my dear Colonel, in the van of this volume, after the manner of that acute tactician who stuck a Koran upon his lance in order to win a battle. Believe me it is not my object to use your orthodoxy as a cover to my heresies of sentiment and science, in politics, political economy and-what not?
But whatever I have done on this occasion,-if I have done any thing,-has been by the assistance of a host of friends, amongst whom you were ever the foremost. And the highest privilege I aim at is this opportunity of publicly acknowledging the multitude of obligations owed to you and to them. Accept, my dear Colonel, this humble return for your kindness, and ever believe me,
The sincerest of your well wishers,
RICHARD F. BURTON.

It was a bill filed by Betts against Lewis and wife, under the same circumstances which gave rise to the case of Lewis v. Darling, reported in 16 Howard, 1. It will be seen by a reference to that case, page 6, that Burr H. Betts was one of the legatees in the will of Samuel Betts.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
60 U.S. 72
Betts v. Lewis
This is an appeal from the decree of the District Court of the United States for the northern district of Alabama, having the powers of a circuit court. The appellant filed his bill in that court to charge a legacy on property alleged to have come to the hands of the respondents, and to be chargeable with its payment. After answers had been filed, and while exceptions to one of the answers were pending, the respondents moved to dismiss the bill for want of equity, and the court ordered it to be dismissed. This was irregular, and the decree must be reversed. It is understood to be in conformity with the practice of the State courts of Alabama to entertain such a motion at any stage of the proceedings. But the equity practice of the courts of the United States is governed by the rules prescribed by this court, under the authority conferred upon it by the act of Congress, (McDonald v. Smalley, 1 Pet., 620,) and is the same in all the States. And this practice does not sanction the dismissal of the bill on a motion made while the parties are perfecting the pleadings. The question whether the bill contains any equity, may be raised by a demurrer. If the defendant answer, this question cannot be raised until the hearing. Non constat that a defect may not be removed before the hearing.
The case must be remanded to the Circuit Court, and if any defects exist in the bill capable of being cured by amendments, as no replication has been filed, it is within the rules of ordinary practice to allow them to be made.
