Lively Tilt Between the
Governor and r1r. nCCain

Little Rock, March A vigorous
statement by Governor Davis and
reply by Farrar Mccain, attorney for
four members of the penitentiary
board, were the features of the inves-
tigation of the contingent fund of
the governor by the way and means
committee of the house last night.
Governor Davis took as the text Of
his remarks the intimation that eff
forts were being made to throttle the
investigation He demanded that ev-
ervthing be probed to the bottom.
Governor Davis said that first an
attempt had been apparent in this
inquiry tocharge him with stealing.
nest the charge had been tempered
tc embezzlement and now lit had
cotton down to the place where the
people were giving him things.
Mr.. Mccain replied that they did
charge the governor with embezzle,

IT is CONSTRUED BY THE ST.
PREME COURT OF AR
KANSAS.
An Important Decision Covering the
Contested Points of the
Law.

Little Rock, Ark, March Am i'm
portant decision involving the con
struction of the Arkansas felow-ser
want law was passed upon by the su-
preme court.
]. l.. HAST was railroad fireman
on the Iron Mountain. He was killed
in Louisiana and his minor child
sued the company in Arkansas and re-
covered $500. which judgment was
affirmed.
The points of contention on the
part of the railway were that the
minor child in Nebraska brought suit
in Arkansas by her foreign guardian.
and when he was objected to G. N.
Robertson was substituted as next
friend and the cause progressed; be-
cause the action was brought in Ar
kansas and the man was killed in
Louisiana, and because HAST was kill
ed through the negligence Of the en-
gineer and being his fellow want
no recovery could be had.
Mr.. Justice Hughes held that. while
it would not be proper for the guard
ian to SUE for his ward. it was per
fectly proper and legal to substitute
for him the childs next friend, and
that it would have been improper
to have dismissed the cause for the
reason alleged.
With regard to bringing suit in
in Louisiana, he stated that the ac-
ton was transitory and could prop
erly be brought in Arkansas.
Regarding the felolw-servant fea-
ture, it was shown that the engineers
watch was fifty minutes behind time.
and the conductor was asleep in the
caboose, not in attendance upon his
duties, and did not stop the train at
the station designated, as he should
have done.
Mr.. Justice Hughes stated that if
it was the sole fault of the engineer.
Haist could not recover, as he and
the engineer were fellow servants:
but under the modern doctrine, if
there was joint responsibility on the
| part of the fellow servant and the
conductor, who is principal. then
Haist could recover. Verdict and
judgment in all things approved and
| affirmed.

reality as in the case of celebrity.

was crowded. There. ives large
