A Complicated Case.

The recent loss of the Inflated yacht

brought about curious question 1T
law. The will of Henry 1ocum. owner
of the boat, left all the Iestator's for
tune to his daughter, aud provided
that in case her death occurred pre-
vious to that of her father the estate
should go to Mr.. Yocum's other direct
heirs. Now, both father and daughter
were lost with the yacht, and because
the latter, too. has heirs, there arises
the query as to who died first. AS the
exact fate of the boat and those en-
board must forever remain a mystery,
ii is, of course, impossible to give an
answer from fact, but there may very
probably be a legal reply quite as sat
isfactory to at least one party. If

held that in case of sh;pwreck per-
son under Is years of age should hc

the age of Is the elder or the two per-
sons was presumed to die first. In this

The United States supreme court
has granted leave to the state of
Louisiana to enjoin the state of Texas
from interfering unduly with inter-
state commerce. The question comes
I'D on account of the strict quarantine
that .has been maintained by State
Health Officer Blunt against Louisiana
and Mississippi. The quarantine has
absolutely stopped interstate freight
traffic, and has largely interfered with
passenger traffic. The suit will be an
important one, and it's results far reach
ing. It involves the question of the
balance of power between the state and
national governments. 1t will be q
test of all state quarantine laws,
the interstate commerce laws and con-
stitutional provisions. 1t will precipi-
tate q general discussion of the ques-
ton of efficient national quarantine
regulations, that shall apply elsewhere
than ION the border. Every interest
in the state has something at stake in
his case, and the outcome will be
