SUPREME COURT
DECISION IN FELLOW SERVANT
CASE.
Railroad Company Not Liable to Fire,
man for Negligence Of TeIe-
graph Operator.

Washington. May 1.-THE supreme
court of the United States yesterday
laid down the principle that tele-
graph operator for n railroad company
and fireman on a railroad engine are
fellow servants" and that the negli-
gence of the former causing the death
of the latter in the operation of trains
was a risk the fireman assumed and
was not ground for damages against
the railroad company.
The case was that of Alline A.
Dixon against the Northern Pacific
railroad for damages for the death of
her husband. c. A. Dixon. a fireman on
the road, killed in collision caused
by the negligence of telegraph opj
orator.
The opinion delivered by Justice
Brewer answered two questions GER
titled from the United States circuit
court of appeals for the eighth circuit
as follows:
First, when local telegraph ope-
rator is called upon specifically by a
train dispatcher to give information
relative to the arrival of train at his
station. to enable the dispatcher to
formulate orders for the movement of
other trains, does the local operator
in the matter OF giving such informa-
tion act as a fellow servant of train
operations In such sense that the mas,
ter is not liable to- train operatives
who are injured in obeying an erro-
neous order of the dispatcher that was
induced by false information given by
the local OPERATOR"
The answer to the question is:
THE telegraph operator was, under
the circumstances described, fellow
servant of the fireman"
Second, is the negligence OF a local
telegraph operator and station agent
of railway company, in observing
and reporting by telegraph to the
train dispatcher the movement of
trains past his station, which causes
the injury or death of fireman of the
company, without any fault or negli-
gence of the train dispatcher. the neg
ligence of vice principal for which
the railway company is liable in dam.
ages to the fireman or to his personal
representatives, or is 1t the negligence
of fellow servant of the fireman the
risk of which the latter assumes"
Answer-"The negligence of the op,
orator was the negligence of fellow
servant OF the fireman. the risk of
which the latter assumed"
A dissenting opinion was delivered
by Justice White and concurred in by
the Chief Justice and Justices Harlan
and McKenna. In this dissenting opin-
ion the view was expressed that the
operator was the agent of the en-
ployer, and as such his negligence rem
dered the employer liable for damage
or death caused thereby,
The opinion was further expressed
that the courts decision would create
much confusion.

P.nam. lo,,erIe. s,opped.

Among the many questions which
are settled In the instructions issued
by the president OF the Panama com
mission is that OF gambling These
matters include control Of the lottery
and other gambling concessions on
the isthmus.
Probably there is surprise mixed
with dissatisfaction. In Panama and
Colon over the Presidents tart instruc-
tion that the commission shall enact
laws annulling those previous con.
Germs.
The Panama lottery is one OF the
firmly established institutions OF the
isthmus. Nominaily II Is a company
but stock is held by lot OF individu'
ais. The corporation owns fine
building In Panama. near the cathedral.
1t has agencies all over the isthmur
and the selling OF lottey tickets is a
regular business. The venders peddle
them on the trains, and their com
missions enable them to make n good
living. The drawings. being under
the state control. are honest in SO far
as n lottery can be honest.
The other gambling privilege Is
purely an American concern. That is
American citizens have the franchise
or did have 1t. They paid Colombia
for the monopoly. Just as the lottery
paid for its privilege.
The chief asset OF the gambling con
cession was the roulette wheel. In
Colon the sailors were the chief pat
rons. In Panama the patronage came
more from the inhabitants and persons
connected with the canal work. as well
as from the travellers up and down the
Pacific coast.
