Railroad Is Responsible for Whisky
 Destroyed By State Authority.

Washington, December 3.-m deciding today the case of Paul Heyman Vs the Southern railway. the supreme court Of the United States dealt with the ques- ton of the extent of which railroad company becomes an insurance company to it's freight patrons.

C., 1t was immediately seized by the state authori- ties and destroyed in pursuance of the South Carolina dspensary law. while still in the warehouse in which it had been accepted by the railroad.
 Heyman was compelled to return the purchase price to consignees and then sought to recover from the railroad com pany on the ground that the company had insured the safe delivery of the goods
 The Georgia supreme court held that as the property had been seized under legal authority the company could not be held liable. The opinion of federal su- preme court was delivered by Justice White and reversed the finding Of the lower court.
