JUDGE BAKERS DECISION
THE CITIZENSHIP OF A CORPORA

Court Explained.

Judge Baker has remanded the suit
CT Frank Winkler against the Chicago
&c Eastern Illinois Railroad to the Clay
county Circuit Court. Winkler brought suit
TO recover $4,000 damages for personal in
juries. The court sent the case to the state
court. because the petition TO have il re-
moved to the United States Court was not
filed until after an answer had been fled
TO the complaint in the state court An
other reason for remanding the case was
the fact that 1t did not appear anywhere
In the record that the defendant company
was a corporation organized under the law
OF any state other than the State of Indi-
ana.
The Interesting point involved in this
decision, said a lawyer. lis the clean-cut
statement OF what constitutes Jurisdiction
al aVerments of diverse citizenship. Judge
Baker decides that a corporation is not a
citizen OF any State. but for the purpose
OF suing and being sued II will be treated
as a citizen OF the State under whose laws
IL Is created and organized. In this case
the papers alleged the railroad company to
be citizen and resident of Illinois, when
the averment should have been that il was
a corporation created by the laws of iii

STARCH TRUSTS PLANS
If CORN CONTINUES TO INCREASE
PLANTS WILL BE CLOSED.
President c. f. Piel, of the National
starch Company, Makes n State
n.nt-Sfoux City Dispatch.

Should the speculation in ,corn continue
and the price of that commodity go much
higher il will mean that the starch plants
in the country under the National Starch
Company will have to shut down until next
fall" said Charles F. Piel. president of
the National Starch Company, last night.
Mr. Piel said the recent big advance in
corn has been the cause OF the starch
manufacturers considering plan 10 close
down their plants should the prices con-
tinue to increase. He said that under the
present high prices paid for corn there
could be no profit in the starch business.
An Associated Press dispatch from Sioux
City, Ia, last night stated that a telegram
had been received in that city from the
head offices of the National Starch Com
pany stating that the company will close
all of its eleven factories as the
present corn supply is consumed. The
Sioux City plant, which is one Of the larg-
est in the country. will continue until about
June l. The information sent TO Sioux
City inclines the management OF the plant
there TO the belief that repairs will be
made during the summer, and most of the
plants be reopened In the fall The Sioux
City dispatch further states that President
Piel was there recently, and said that all
factories were overstocked. II is believed
the trust proposes to stop production and
sell the present supply at increased prices
The Sioux City dispatch was read to Pres
ident Piel last night, and he said that some
OF the plants may be closed for repairs.
He then made the statement that it would
be necessary TO close the plants II corn
increases in price.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, Dec ia
gang of burglars entered Rhinebeck post
office and bank last night, blowing open
safes in both places. In the postoffice they
got $500 in money and about S4OO in stamps,
but in the bank they secured nothing, be-
ing unable to open the inner doors of the
vault, which contained about $4,000 in cur
rency and 100000 III bonds. The robbers
seized Crandall a Russell mail-carrier,
who was in the postOffice, gagged and
bound him and carried him TO a black
smith shop. Here they placed him in
chair, threw Il blanket over him and blew
up the forge fire so that he would not
freeze. A night watchman named Taller
day was also captured and placed in the
blacksmith shop. According to Crandall
there were several of the burglars. When
the men exploded the charge which blew
open the bank safe persons living in the
neighbOrhood were awakened and several
men ran into the streets armed with guns
and revolvers. They shot at the burglars
who returned the fire and ran. All of them
escaped.
