ily accounted fer by the fact that In that

THEFTs FROM sTATERoOMs.

The decision rendered y Judge Han
ford Ia the Federal court on the liability
OF steamship company for property
LEFT In s'aterooFn IL not very comfort
ing. but II is in line with the view taken
by state courts.
In the case IN question a passenger
sued the owner 0, the steamship Hum
bo!dt to recover damages for the loss
OF his valLse and It's contents. which
were taken out Of his staterooU. II was
pleaded in his behalf that as the passen-
ger had contracted for his meals from
the steamship company II stood II the
position OF an innkeeper. The court
holds that contract with Passengers
10 supply room and meals on board g.
ship does not impose upon 1t the LA
biity OF an tnnkeeper.
The reasoning is not altogether con-
elusive. The decision says that a steam
ship company Is not permitted to choose
whom II Will serve. but must afford &C
commodations to all who pay fare. So
must an innkeeper. 1t also says that
q passenger ship is necessarily accessi-
Die TO all classes Of travellers, and Is so
far public place that 1t is unreason-
able to impose upon the owners the
burden OF liability for thefts Of the pri-
IN Ia Of ha An,
inn is equally accessible to all classes
OF travellers.
The old law which held an iunkeeper
liable for all goods brought into his
house has been modified by modern
legislation 80 that the liability no long
or exists unless an article is infTusted
directly into the care of the innkeeper
The reason for changing the law was
that the conditions had changed. The
old law was frequently abused. and
innkeepers were subjected to loss by
fraud. The same reasoning which laid
the foundation for statute limiting
the liability OF an innkeeper would ap-
ply 20 q steamship. and Il would be
unjust 10 charge a. ship with the value
u an article whose existence was not
brought 10 the attention OF the ships
officers, or It's value defined before the

The disagrceabla feature az the Geci-
sion Is that steamship COMPANIES may
become more careless about locks, which
are usually very ftmsy a best. or OF
the character and vigilance Of en-
ployes. The public must protect It's II
