JUpGE WALLACE, Of tho United States
Circuit Court for the District of New
York, has just handed down decision
that ia of interest to brokers who are &C
cessories 20 Sospeculatiou with tho funds of
bank depositors. The case in question
was that of the recsiyer of the First Ma
tional Bank, Of Albany, \. Y, against 8
firm OF Wall street brokers, who helped
the cashier of the bank to get rid Of near
Iy SI50OO0 of the dsPo.itovs' money. A
jury rendered verdict against the f m for
the full amount OF the money paid to them
snd Judge WalIsce sustained the verdict
by denying the motion for a new trisl.
The decision is based upon the generally
accepted legal principle that no one has
a right to accept money for an SCENTS
debt which he knows belong to the agents
| principal and not TO the agent himself
| This decision simply serves notice upon
brokers not to monkey with the money OF
bank depositors, no matter how willing
rascslly cashiers may be to risk it in
speculation.

THE Supreme Court of Washington

Legislature "a year ortwo aso is uncon-
s,itutional. The d, ,cisi1n is based on the

Territory, ia restricted TO males. It de-
claros that the United States law pro
vidiug for The election of one Delegate
from each Territory 10 Congress, in say
ing that such d sleEa'r shall be "citi-
