The EseIE Oompany wins

The United States Circuit Court at
Cincinnati decided that the suit of
the government against the Bell Tel
ephone Company was not properly
brought in Ohio, and accordingly dis
missed it for want of jurisdiction,
without prejudice to instituting suit
elsewhere. The Bell Company has
commended from the beginning that it
could be sued only in Massachusetts,.
The result indicates what is usual
when great-corporations are concern
ed-that the government bad the less
adroit lawyers on its side. Certainly
the government ought to know where
it can bring suit

to stay elected by about 90.
