Highest Court Fixes State
Jurisdiction on Ohio
River.
KENTUCKY LOSES OUT
Old Contention Between the Two
States Has Been Adjusted by
the Supreme Court.
Concurrent Jurisdiction is Given the
Two States in All River
Matters.

Indianapolis, Feb 24.-The United
States supreme court has decided in
the Ohio river case that Indiana has
jurisdiction over the Ohio river con-
current with that of Kentucky. The
decision ends a controversy that has
ragged since the two states were ad-
mitted into the union. The Kentucky
authorities held that that states juris-
diction in legal processes extended
to low water mark on the Indiana
side, while the Indiana authorities
took the position that each state had
jurisdiction over the river.
The case in which the decision was
made was the result of a civil action
at Evansville at which a writ of at
tachment was served for a boat in
the Ohio river. The Kentucky court
of appeals, to which the case was car
ried, decided that the contention for
which Kentucky had stood, was cor
rect. The supreme court, in making
it's rulings, reversed the decision of
the Kentucky court.

MUST ABIDE CONSEQUENCES
Person Accepting a Pass Cannot Re
pudiate Its Conditions.


Washington, Feb. 24.-The quests on
as to whether a passenger on a rail
road train, riding ON a free pass who
losses his life on recount of an act of
carelessness on the part of the rail-
road company, stands on the same
footing as that passenger who pays
his fare, has been decided by the
United States supreme court against
the free passenger. The case in which
the opinion was rendered was that of
the Northern Pacific Railway company
vs.. Louise II. Adams and Frank H
Adams, heirs of Jay H. Adams, an at
torney-at-1aw of Spokane, Wash, in
1898. Mr.. Adams was riding on a pass
which contained a stipulation exempt
ing the railroad company from liabili-
ty in case of accident The federal
court for the district of Washington
state awarded damages to the extent
of $4,000 and the circuit court of
appeals for the Ninth circuit affirmed
this judgment. The opinion of the
supreme court was handed down by
Justice Brewer and reversed the lower
courts. The supreme court held that
there could be no higher measure of
duty to the heirs than to Adams him
self and that there is nothing in public
policy to prevent a contract between
common carrier and a free passen-
ger exempting the carrier from liabili-
ty in case of accident. The company,
it is said, waived its right to exact
compensation from Adams. He was
not in the power of the company and
obliged to accept its terms. He freely
and voluntarily chose to accept the
privilege offered and having accepted
that privilege the court said, cannot
repudiate its conditions
