RAILWAY DEMURRER
Is NOT SUSTAINED
Complaint Made Against B.
& O. Adjudged Valid.
Cattle Dealers Allege That Corporation
Violated Interstate Commerce Law
at Union Stock Yards.

BALTIMORE. June 13.-Judge Morris
in the United Stats circuit court, yes
terday overruled the demurrer Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
to the bill Of complaint fled on July Is
1901, by Myers & Houseman, the we'll
known cattle dealers, 70 restrain the
railroad company from alleged viola
tions OF the interstate commerce law
at the Union Stock Yards. The court de-
cided that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road must answer the bill Of complaint.
The demurrer was argued by William
Irvine Cross for the Baltimore and Ohio
and Isidor Rayner for Myers & House
man.
By the demurrer all the statements in
the bill of complaint we're admitted to
be true. This is the story it tells:
Myers & Houseman do a business OF
S2, ,D2n Geo a year, and their cattle are
shipped principally over the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at a cost of about S75,-
COO for freight annually. The cattle are
sold here or carried to other cities or
10 Locust Point for shipment
When ar-ivisg here the cattle and
other livestock are unIoaded al the
Union Stock Yards, where they are quar-
tered and fed. Those intended for Bal
timore are sold at the yards The others
are reloaded on the cars at the stock
yards and sent TO other points
II the cattle are unloaded and fed at
other stock yards Chan the Union. the ad-
yantages of through bills Of iadipg and
through transportation rates are lost
In such cases local CT additional rates
are charged eeIrfeen the stock yards and
other points, amounting to SO car to
Locust Point. SO a car to Philadelphia
and $50 a car to Jersey City The com
plainants are thereby prevented from
feeding their cattle at their own ex-
pense while in transit.
Myers & Houseman complain that
they are victimized by the oppressive
charges for feeding their cattle at the
Union Stock Yards They asked TO be al
lowed to feed their cattle at their own
yards under the same transportation
rates as when cattle are fed at the
Union Stock Yards, but were refused
the privilege by the railroad officials
II they should feed their cattle at
their own stock yards the additional To-
cal rates they would have TO pay would
amount to $25. 600 a year. They would
save $4,000 a year If they were allowed to
feed their own cattle and we're charged
the through rates only
The excuses made by the railroad Off
,ials for declining the proposals made
by Myers & Housenlan are declared TO
be mere pretexts for the purpose OF ad-
yancing the interests OF the stOckhold-
srs of the Union Stock Yards Company.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Frankenstein

afternoon at Coney Island when Henry
0. Moritz, an aged inventor. was
crushed Iifeless by the machine he had

His monster that turned on him was

Yesterday two inspectors of the de-
paTtment were sent to the island at the
old mans request He said he had at
last perfected his invention There were
two successful trials, and the old man
was receiving congratulations on every
side, when the machine hurled itself
like catapult, crushing Moritz where
he stood but leaving score of spec

Mechanic of Talent.
Moritz was a mechanic of talent. and
for many years he had turned his in
genuity to inventing amusement various
schemes. Many Of the spectacular
mechanisms that have drawn crowds to
Coney Island have been evolved from,
his brain
Three years ago he conceived the plan
Of having an aerial toboggan. which.
suspended from a track above. would
carry passengers on a dizzy. hair-rais-
ing flight through the air and to the
earth. It was to be so arranged that
the passenger would appear to be sail
ing on the wind on no other support than
the himsy toboggaB. and managers of
many Of the amusement places saw IN
the idea sensation that would OUT
rival the Loop the Loop Many offers
were made to the old man when he told
Of his scheme Other plans of his had
been sold outright. This one he re-
solved to keep TO himself
Was to Make Fortune.
'T am saving my money and I am
going to run this thing myself. 1t will
make my fortune he told his friends.
His winters work in 1900 Betted rim
enough money to start the enterprise.
and in the spring he built the fiimsy
that was to carry his
toboggans. All seemed we'll, but Moritz
was plunged into despair when the
building department refused q permit
His funds were gone and ne went back
to the machine shop. He saved more
money. and the following summer he
strengthened the apparatus. Again the
building department would not allow
him 10 operate il.
Moritz was disheartSned. but he still
refused the offers OF managers, who tcId
him they could obtain the needed per
mission. He went back to his machine
shop and spent all his idle moments de-
vising schemes 10 make his machine
more secure.

MUST PAY
INSURANCE
Two Decisions by
the Supreme
Court.
BUILDINGS NOT
MADE VALUELESS
Judge Little Was Wrong in Rsfus-
ing to Hear Bankruptcy
Matter.

The insurance companies must pay
for the buildings destroyed through the
order of the Board of Health during the.
plague time, according to decision of
the Supreme Court filed yesterday. The
case at issue is that of D. L. Ak
wal VS.. Royal Insurance Co. in which
the defendant sought to escape pay
ment of $1,000 insurance policy on the
ground that the property destroyed
was valueless, having been condemned
as insanitary by the Board of Health.
The decision is written by Chief JUS
tice F'rear and the syllabus is as fol-
lows:
In an action on a policy of fire insur-
ance for loss caused by the spread Of a
fire started by order of the Board of
Health for the purpose of destroying,
as being infected by plague, certain
previously scondemned buildings stu
ated some distance from the insured
building, an ex parte unexecuted reso-
luton of the Board, adopted after the
commencement of the fire, that all the
buildings in the block, which included
the insured building, were so insanitary
and infected by plague as to require
destruction, is not even prima facie evil
dence, that the building in question was
SO insanitary or so much of nuisance
as to be absolutely valueless in the eye
of the law so as to entitle the defend
ant insurance company to Judgment.
