servant of the fireman, the risk of which
the latter assumes" The answer Isl
The negligence of the operator was the
negligence of a fellow-servant of the fire
man. the risk of which the latter as
sumed."
dissenting opinion was delivered by
Justice White and concurred in by the
Chief Justice and Justices Harlan and Me
kenna. In this dissenting opinion the view
was expressed that the operator was the
agent of the employer and such his
negligence rendered the employer liable
for damages or death caused thereby. The
opinion further expressed that the
courts decision would create much con-
fusion.
In two cases for damages against the
Texas & Pacific Railroad Company for
cotton destroyed by fire during shipment,
the Supreme Court in opinions by Justice
McKenna, affirmed the opinions of the
lower courts in favor of the railroad COM
pany The main question involved in each
case was a clause in the bill of lading ex-
empting the railroad company for liability
for damages caused by fire. The effect of
this clause was attacked the ground
that the carrier could not limit his common
law liability without the consent of the
shipper ana the mere contract Oh Shipment
was not such a consideration; also that
there must be a reduced rate as an induce
ment, and both the lower and regular rate
submitted to the shipper. The decision
against these contentious was sustained.
The suits were brought by Henry Char
mock and Jovitecau.
The court affirmed the opinion of the
Supreme Court of Ohio in refusing to re-
lease John Boyd, of Guernsey county, Ohio,
committed to custody for violation of the
Beale local option law. The opinion was
delivered by Justice McKenna.

Chief Justice Fuller announced an adj
journment of the court until May 81.
