the transaction of his personal business
is held, in Donovan versus PurtelI Gid
l.. r. A. IN. 81 176, to be personally
liable for money received by him for
investment in return for which he de-
livered a worthless obligation Of the
corporation.
The acquisition of a mere private
way is held. in Arnsperger versus
Crawford (Md), 70 l.. r. A. 497, not
to be a purpose for which the right to
exercise the power OF eminent domain
may be delegated, although the way is
intended to connect private estate
with the public highway.

London, Aug. 28.-The British gov
eminent is fully alive to the critical
condition of affairs in Persia and to
the alleged efforts of Germany to OBJ
tain footing there. Thus far the
foreign Office says nothing has occur
red to justify outside interference. SO
far as Germany's action is concerned,
she has done nothing to which Great
Britain or any of the powers could
take exception, her efforts being con-
fined to the expansion of her trade.
The officials here do not believe that
Germany is trying to secure an island
in the Persian gulf as naval base.
