THE SOUTH PORTLAND CASE.


Judge Hanford handed down an i'm
portant decision yesterday in the South
Portland libel case The point came up
as to whether or not the costs incurred
in procuring bonds to release the vessel
from the iioelants were to be counted In
the costs OF the case.
In his opinion Judge Hanford said that
since the claimant had indisputably paid
a surety company a certain sum OF
money as a fee for putting up the bonds
10 free the vessel, they were righsfuliy
entitled 10 be paid back. He said that
the release OF the vessel by substituting
In her place bond to secure the pay
msns Of any Judgment which might be
rendered In favor OF the intervening libel
ant Was not considered by him as
mere accommodation TO the claimant.
and that the detention OF the vessel In
the custody OF the marshal would have
been q burden upon the iitigants as well
as an Inconvenience TO her owners
Moreover. he said that IL the vessel
had not been thus released the expenses
incurred while the case went on would
be much In excess Of the items In dis
pute. as the vessel was a. work instead
OF being tied up In the narshsfs charge.
Therefore, he said. the claimants were
entitled TO their expenses.

Comnissioner Heifner Investigation
Insurance Companies.

There Is trouble In sight for some OF the
marine and fire insurance companies oper-
aftng IN this state IL the suspicious OF In
surance Commissioner G.. G. Heifner prove
true. He has been In Seattle for two or
three days quietly investigating affairs.
ard although he refuses TO say ANYTHING
as to what his discoveries are. he il ready
to return To Olympia today. From a cas-
ual conversation with the commissioner
one would Judge thar he came to Seattle
merely on a pleasure trip.
As a matter Of fact an important new
Insurance. law went into effect June 6 II
relates to IRE and marine insurance Tn
der IT'S provisions com pany cannot
write insurance In this state except
through its agent. This does away win
the system Of writing Insurance from the
home office over the head OF It's resident
agent.
Agents are restricted To writing policies
for companies tina; are recognised by the
commissioners department as having a
right To operate in the state
There Is q suspicion in Commissioner
Hsffners mind that some OF the agents
have been placing marine insurance esp<-
ciaily. with companies that are no; sup
posed to do business
What will be the outcome OF the lnyessi-
CATION Is hard 10 tell. a. marine COM
panies are alleged 10 be somewhat difn-
cult 10 control.

Excluded From the Mails.

A largely operated advertising plan
is excluded from the mails by a de-
cision rendered by Acting Assistant
Attorney General Barrett, for the post
Office department. The plan consists
of puzzles with prize offers whose solu-
ton is easy by counting dots in cir
Gle, spolSes in wheel or arranging a
set of jumbled letters to form names
of prominent persons, but the catch is
in a proviso imposing conditions on
successful contestants. The heavy
mails following these advertisements
bring out circulars from the promoters
which the department holds is de-
signed to lead patrons to believe they
have won valuable prizes, conditioned
on their making or obtaining sub
scriptions, selling articles, etc. The
department in directing the postmaster
at Boston, in test case, to refuse to
accept for mailing, circulars relating
to such schemes, holds that they de-
ceive the credulous and uneducated.

The old man went TO Crimson with the
Information. A posse returned with
him and captured the Negro, who gave
his name as Louis Sammin. The man
was taken TO Saffold, where he was
identified by Mr.. and Mrs. ogletree as

RecIprOcity Treaty Signed.

The long spending negotiations be-
tween the. United States and France
were brought to successful close at
the state department late on the after
noon of the cath, when Ambassador
Cambon, in behalf of France, and CON-
Kasson, in behalf of the United States,
affixed their signatures to the reci-
procity treaty. 1t is by far the most
important treaty concluded under the
reciprocity provisions of the Dingley
law and the only one affecting the
trade with a large commercial nation.
The negotiations were marked by
rather sharp and long continued dis
cussions, which continued up to the
time the signatures were places on the
document In the end spirit of COM
promise prevailed and each side yielded
something. As whole both sides ex-
press satisfaction with the general re-
suits secured, for while the compromise
necessitated some minor sacrifices the
general effect of the treaty will en-
courage commerce between the two
countries.
