Novel Case of Robbery.

A novel case OF robbery is presented in
the case of Jackson VS.. State 40 S. E. Rep.
100D. The defendant Jackson entered the
house of one Cadle. ostensibly for the
purpose of purchasing a watch, and ex-
amined several which were shown to him.
Ii was then discovered by Cadle and his
wife that one of the watches was missing.
After ascertaining this fact Cadle covered
Jackson with pistol, and Mrs. Cadle be-
gan a search of his person for the missing
watch. Cadle laid the pistol on the bed,
and himself undertook to search Jackson.
Thereupon Jackson picked up the pistol,
pointed it at Cadle and his wife, and in
this manner effected his escape. The pis-
tol which Jackson took with him was not
berry, on the ground that he had taken
the pistol by force with intent to steal
the same. The jury found him guilty. but
on appeal the Supreme Court reversed the
case. on the ground that a conviction for
robbery could not stand on the facts.
The court held that though a valuable
article in proximity to and under the pro-
lection Of its owner is constructively upon
his person, suddenly snatching 1t up and
carrying it away with intent to steal it
is not robbery, when there is no intimida-
tion of the owner for the purpose OF get
ting possession, and no resistance by him
TO the act of taking. This is none the
less true when the article thus taken is
weapon, or capable of being used as such,
and the wrongdoer. after taking il. there
with intimidates the owner in order TO
effect his escape"

Blinds for Duck Shooting.

The law governing blinds" for duck
shooting was recently discussed by the
court of appeals of Maryland in the case
OF Bannon VS.. Sheckall t5i All. Rep, 1861.
The local law of Anne Arundel county,
Maryland, provides that before any person
shall place any blind in the waters of
South river and shoot therefrom, he shall
obtain license therefor, and that after
said blind has been licensed no blind
shall be established nearer than 300
yards therefrom. The plaintiff applied for
and obtained a license to put a blind in a
specified place in the river, but before he
had established his blind, a similar license
was issued to the defendant TO place a
blind at the same locality as described in
the license of the plaintiff. Thereupon
the plaintiff asked for an Injunction re-
straining the second licensee from act
ing under his license. The court refused
the injunction on the ground that until
the plaintiff had established his blind he
had no superior right TO any particular
spot.

DECISION IN FAVOR
OF LIEUTENANT BLUE
He Receives Mileage From San Fran

Lieut. Victor Blue, United States Navy.

Of the Treasury difference of s243.3s, due

mileage from San Francisco, Cal, to Yo-
kohama, Japan, 1894 miles, at cents
per miles. less $500, cost of transporta-
tion furnished.
This decision was made on the appeal
of Lieutenant Blue from the action of the
Auditor for the Navy Department who
disa!lowed the claim for the reason that
orders directed travel TO Manila, p. l.,
and that for travel to our island poses
sions" actual expenses only were allowed
by law.
In passing on the appeal, Mr.. Trace
well held that the orders under which
Lieutenant Blue travelled actually fixed

That the ideas of the people at large. or

poses are but little understood, is evident
from the many queer communications
which from time to time find their way

Patent Medicine Trade Marks.

An alleged trade mark for the name OF
patent medicine called The Family
Physician" was the subject of litigation
between husband and wife in the case OF
Houchens VS.. Houchens Isl All, Rep, 1927.
The husband sought to restrain his wife
from using the trade mark and from sell
ing any imitation OF the compound. The
court tcourt of appeals of Maryland) set
tied the controversy by deciding that
neither was entitled to the trademark,
because the medicine was sold under
fraudulent representation. The labels on
the bottles contained the statement that
The Family Physician is the great small
pox and diphtheria cure and preventive.
Cures the worst cases without marking.

that this announcement asserted false
hood, and was designed to deceive the
public. From this decision ii would seem

family peace they might also have kept

Another communication. though Of

Commissioner Foulke personally. In 1t the
writer expressed fear that the contem-

Dear Sir:
Il was requested to attend a meeting
last night. and civil service was discussed.
Several gentlemen spoke and said that the
president of the Civil Service Commission
has issued an order for an examination
every wear. One man said that he could
only speak from one point of view, and he
regards this thing as an A. p. A. move

carriers now in the service So I write
you at once, and il you think 1t necessary

plicants to stand examination.
IF these men use this thing it would te
good campaign literature for them. I am
pretty sure that they were nearly all

stir up the Irish and Germans. and another
thing. I think il would be good thing
for Congress to pass a Federal law con-

some show and get what they are entitled
