SUPREME COURT
 DECIDES LUM'S CASE

Washington. May 1S.-In reversing the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Mississippi in the case of Thomas Fauntleroy vs. J J Lum, the Supreme Court of the United States to- day considered the point as to what faith and credit should be given un- der the Constitution in one State to the decision of a court in another State when the decision recognizes a con- tract which Is contrary to the law of the State.
 The case grew out of speculation in cotton made in Vicksburg in 1893 through the c. J. Searls Company, whereby Lum became indebted to Searls for $S51, through a loss on margins and in St. Louis. Mo, in 1894. when he was temporarily in that city, a judg- ment was secured against him for that amount. He failed to pay and another suit was then brought in Vicksburg In which an effort to compel payment was made on the strength of the St. Louis verdict. under the Constitution of the United States requiring one State to give due credit to the findings of courts in other States.
 The Warren County Mississippi, Cir cuit Court gave judgment against Lum but the Supreme Court of the State re- versed this finding. Fauntleroy who was Searlss attorney. appealed the case to the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States with the result that the State Supreme Court was overruled. che opinion being by Justice Holmes.
 Justice White read a dissenting opin- ion which was concurred in by Jus tices Harlan, McKenna and Day.
