DECISION
FOR THE R. |.
COMPANY

Today the appellate division OF the SUI
preme court handed down an opinion sus-
tanning the defandant's demurrer 10 the
plaintiffs declaration in the case OF Rose
A. Garvey VS.. Rhode Island company.
The material allegation Of the plaintiffs
declaration are that being desirous OF
boarding one of the defendants street
cars in this city at Turks Head and she
eignalled the motorman, while the car
was rounding the curve.
In consequence OF her signal the car
was slowed down and nearly brought 90
a standstill on the curve. whereupon the
plaintiff walked towards IL for the pur-
rose OF boarding It. It became the duty
OF defendant to bring the car to stand
attn, 50 that plaintiff might board the
car with safety. II was alleged
Disregarding the duty. It is claimed,
while plaintiff was standing In the street
near TO the curve waiting for the car TO
STOP she being in the exercise of due
care the motorman suddenly increased
the speed OF the car, around the curve.
there by causing the rear end or the car
TO swing, or kick out over the part OF
the street where tho plaintiff was stand
ing, and strike against her, whereby she
was thrown down and injured.
The grounds OF demurrer were that the
plaintiff voluntarily assumed OF danger.
that plaintiff was negligent I'm assuming
a position OF danger before the car had
come to standstiil and that the dec
laration did not set forth any legal duty,
owing by the defendant TO the plaintiff.
Judge Tillinghast writes the opinion of
tho court in the course OF which he
says: "we are OF opinion that all OF the
grounds OF demurrer are wel taken. BY
voluntarily assuming position OF danger
relative 70 SAID car the plaintiff assumed
the risk incident thereto. And though
the speed OF the car was being slackened
IN response TO her signal before she as
sumed the position OF danger on said
curve. yet as Il had not come 20 a stand
still she had no right 10 infer that II
would do so az any particular point on
the curve, and hence she had no right
20 take a position whore the swing or
oyerhang OF the car would come I'm con-
tact with her person.
II II 20 be noted I'm This connection that
the plaintiff was not attempting or In
tending 20 board the car while II was In
motion. but TO walt until IL came TO n
standstili. And hence II was her plain
duty not 10 get I'm the way OF the car. or
any part thereof, while II was I'm motion.
That the plaintiff knew that the position
which she took while the car was
rounding the curve was n dangerous one

drawn by Admiral Walker. and contained
as many legislative provision as were
necessary at the present time.
Questioned regarding his view as TO
the propert methods of expending the
money for the construction or the canal
ne said the president primarily was re-
sponsible for this large sum OF money.
but that the gigantic proportions of the
work and the duties OF the president
otherwise made II. OF course, impossi-
be for him TO give the matter his per-
Uonal attention.
In the commission the president un-
doubtedly had made the proper delegation
OF his authority on this subject. IL there
was any question as 10 this the secre-
tary said that contracts i'm excess OF ST.
100000, for instance. might be referred

some other member of the president

dent might designate.

that from his own experience or lie ln

Admiral Walker made n detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the manner OF expending |
money by the last canal commission, of-f
which he was president; He said that
President Mckinley had delegated him |
as the executive head OF the commission, |
and when the commission organized the
money was left in his hands.
No resolution was ever passed by the
commission regarding the policy or ex-
pending money or the details OF any |
single expenditure. Admiral Walker said
that engineers were hired, the important
mission and the young men by himself
after a personal examination.

TRANSPORTING IMMIGRANTS
Ruling on the Agreement Of the Trunk
Lines

In an opinion by Commissioner Clements
the Interstate commerce commission has
decided the question of the transportation
of immigrants from New York and other
Atlantic ports to western destinations.
After stating that investigation showed
that this immigrant traffic is divided be-
tween the carriers in agreed proportions,
based upon the proportion of the domestic
passenger traffic done by each line, and
finding that such practice cannot be made
effective In respect to any other class of
passenger business, and that the arrange
ments adopted by the carriers in connection
with the immigration authorities of the
United States for handling immigrant bust
ness have efficiently promoted the protec-
ton and greatly improved the treatment
and comfort of the immigrants the COM
mission holds that 1t appears to be doubt
full whether the act prohibiting carriers
from entering into any contract, agreement
or combination for the pooling of freghts
by different and competing railroads or to
divide between them the aggregate or net
proceeds of the earnings of such railroads,
applied to such a division of passengers as
has been shown to exist
The commission also holds that no dis
elimination as against individuals, classes
or localities results from the handling by
the carriers of this immigrant business at
domestic published rates. and that there is
no justification at this time for the issu-
ance of any order in the premises.
