BURLINGTON WINS NOTED CASE
Technical Omissions Are Noted by
Supreme Court

iCSIlHISdl OUlISSiOHS fATG NOICu ny
Supreme Court
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-In an
opinion by Justice Moody of the SUI
preme court of the United States to-
day in the case of Robert G.. Green, IA
citizen of Pennsylvania against the
Burlington Railway company, decided
adversely to Green. This was an ac-
tion to recover 100000 damages on 'ac-
count of injuries sustained by Green
in railway accident at Brush, Colo,
in September, 1905"
The suit was instituted in a federal
court in Pennsylvania, but that court
refused to entertain 1t upon the ground
that the Burlington road is not legally
doing business in that state, because
1t was registered in Pennsylvania as
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad company and not by its later
name, the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railway company That de-
cision was affirmed in today's opinion.
Justice Moody saying:
THE question is whether the service
upon agents was sufficient, and one
element of it's sufficiency Is whether
the facts shown that the defendant
corporation was doing business in the
district. 1t was obvious that the de-
leHudHI was uoiiB tleTe d ConSluerdUie
business of a certain kind, although
there was no carrying of freight or
passengers.
THE business shown in this case
was in substance, nothing more than
that of solicitation. Without under
taking to formulate any general rule
defining what transactions will con-
stitute doing business in the sense
that liability to service is incurred,
we think that this is not enough to
bring the defendant within the district
so that process can be developed upon

Fremont zouaves at Unique

No vaudeville act of it's character
excels that offered by the Unique the

Capt. f. ID. Cloud. For twenty min
utes a series of thrilling military ex-
hibtions in lightning time, including
wall-scaling, attack and defense, are
gone through to the delight and Won
derment of the audience. In brief,
Capt. Clouds zouaves are perfectly
drilled. Other olio acts include Rou-
BILE Sims, a versatile cartoonist, who
livens things up by appearing as a
tramp; Nellie Montgomery, viva
cious singing and dancing soubrette;
Homer Long in illustrated songs, and
Bentley i'm renditions on the xylo-

"AN AMERICAN LORD"

The Belasco stock company has found
one of those light, frolicksome, built
for-laughing-purpo -onl'- affairs in
"An American Lord" in which w.
II. Crane starred a year or so ago.
Last nights audience at the Belasco
was a big one and it enjoyed itself
hugely. There is much to praise in
IAN American Lord" and little to find
fault with. Even the captious among
to admit that the idea of taking a
good, honest, rugged American who
has a strong dislike for everything for
eign and transplantins him on English
soil, with a title added to his name
and a vast estate to occupy his time
and mind-the result of a deceased
uncle's will-was anything but com
monplace mong dramatic recent COM
positions.
Given this admirable start for fun
making the authors of "An American
Lord"-George II. Broadhurst and
Charles II. Dazcy-th, rest of the mat
ter was comparatively easy The real
fun commenced when the American
citizen-soon to be made a lord-Was
about to be nominated TO- congress
sional honors in a North Dakota dis
triet when a Londor barrister ap-
peared on the scene and announced
with much perfunctory legal gravity
that the American was The heir OF the

jamestown Exposition Notes.

One of the most remarkable exhibits
to be installed in the Afro-American
Department is friction heater, of
which Mr.. C. S. L. Baker, q Kansas,
is the inventor and patentee In this
wonderful machine, Mr.. Baker has
managed to multiply seven times over
the average efficiency of electricity,
producing heat by the friction process
and has securd rsults almost unbeliev-
able. He can, with his invention, heat
a railEay passenger coach without
using an ounce of fuel, obtaining the
motive power necessary to run his
friction heater from the revolutions OF
the axle Of the trucks beneath the
coach; he can go into a new building,
when probably $4,000 worth Of steam
pipes would ordinarily be required. and
will operate coffee stand at the ex
position, whore he will serve coffee
made by his friction-heater. DR.. Bak
er's unique machine bids fair to revo
