MACLEOD
LOSES HIS
CASE
Court Decides That Statute Ho
Relies Upon is Not
Retroactive.

The opinion OF the seven judges of the
Macleod VS.. c. r. Putnam's Sons was
handed down by Judge Douglas today.
AS the opinion deals with law passed
last April II IL OF considerable interest
The claim made by the bill IN that the
defendant should be enjoined from en-
forcing Judgment In an action of trover
recovered by the respondent against the
complainant on which execution was
Issued Dec. II. 1901. because the defendant
is foreign corporation which has not
complied with the provisions OF chap. 253
or the General Laws, as amended by
chap. ESQ of the Public Laws
passed April 3. 1902. which pro-
vides that no corporation unless
Incorporated in this state except national
banking association or oyner corpora
tions existing under the laws OF the
United States shall carry on business in
this state or enforce I'm the courts OF this
state any contract made within this state.
unless IL shall have a regularly appointed
agent here upon whom service of process
can be had.
Judge Douglas declares that this sta tute
Is not retroactive and has nothing to do
with the case before the court His
honor does not find IL necessary to saw
whether or not the law under considera-
ton is In violation of the interstate com
merce law
speaking in regard 10 the law not be-
ing retroactive. his honor SAYS: '''The
general principle is well established that
a statute Will not be construed to have
a retroactive application unless it's lam
guage 10 that effect is clear The statute
mere in question has no language which
indicates any such intention on the part
OF the Legislature.
III prohibits certain classes of corpor-
auons from engaging in the future I'm
business In this state. IL further denies
10 such corporations the use OF the
courts Of this state for the enforcement
OF certain contracts. IN does not assume
To avoid contracts already made and II
does not close our courts 10 sultors who
claim damages from our citizens rof
wrongs committed here. The complainant
urges that a judgment of court being
sometimes called a contract Is included
In the words OF the statute Such an
Interpretation would be forcing the Ian
guage beyond reasonable limitations
The statute evidently contemplates
contracts 10 be made between parties
such as are made in carrying on business:
not the acts OF court the validity OF
which theoretically may be based upon
the supposed original social compact II
Is plain that a judgment in an action
OF tort Is not contract In the meaning
OF this statute"
Further proceedings In the case will be
taken by the judges OF the appellate divi-
sion.

WILL MAKE
SEPARATE
AUTOPSY
Commission Of American Ply
slcians to Inquire Into Fatal
Shooting Of Mrs. Gore.

Paris. Nov 2.-Actng on instructions
from the u. 8. state department to thor
oughly investigate the shooting on Wed
nesday OF Mrs. Ellen Gore. Consul Gener-
al Gowdy this morning requested four
representative American physicians liv-
ing In Paris TO form a commission. con-
duct an independent autopsy and report
on the circumstances and probabilities OF
how she met her death Mr.. Gowdy has
sent written instructions 10 each OF the
doctors In which he asks them TO spare
no efforts 10 make the investigation
searching.
The commission has already conferred
regarding Its plans. but IL has not been
settled when the autopsy will take place.
Mr.. Gowdy is now seeking 10 obtain Eos-
session Of the remains but II will proba-
bly, be necessary TO make an application
20 the examining magistrate. The funeral
has been arranged for o'clock tomorrow
afternoon in the American church on the
Rue de Berri. The Rev. DR.. r. j. Thuroer
will officiate.
The questions before the American
medical commission are delicate. as their
conclusions as 10 the course OF the bullet
may conflict with those OF the French
medical experts The latter base the acct
dent theory on the upward range OF the
bullet. but the American officials believe
that an Independent autopsy will establish
the fact that the range was almost hori-
zontal, thus indicating a direct shot from
an aimed weapon.
The United States consulate stan is
also taking the depositions OF witnesses
independent OF those taken by the French
officials. So far this action has not de-
veloped any new features. but the de-
positions furnish a complete and unpreju-
diced history of the case and will be for
warded 10 the state department at Wash
ington. Mr.. Gowdy will be represented at
the examination of De Rydzewski. in
whose apartments Mrs Gore was killed,
but as an observer, as care will be taken
not 10 create an impression that there
is the least official doubt Of the thorough
ness OF French justice.
