Ihe supreme court affirmed N,
case OF the state OF Indiana against
Alexander Hess, the suit brought b,
me attorney general TO compel Hess
70 pay over TO his successor the
money collected In fees for various
persons while Hess was clerk OF the
supreme court.
me defense contended first that the
money was collected without authori.
" as clerk. but as an individual: and
secondly. that there was no law com.
pelling him as clerk to turn the money
over TO his successor in office. The
supreme court holds against the de.
tense on the first proposition. and
mat he had authority to collect as
clerk and was responsible TO those for
whom he collected. but there was no
law while he was clerk compelling
nm to turn the money over to his sue
cessor
The court holds that though there
were laws naming numerous officers
that the legislature up 10 the time
that Hess was in office had failed 10
provide that the clerk of the supreme
court should be compelled TO account
Tor such funds to his successor.
Judge Montgomery. speaking for
the court, said: The propriety and
good policy of the provisions of the
present statute requiring clerks TO
account TO their successors for all
moneys received under color OF their
ONCE are beyond question. and their |
validity is beyond doubt so far as they
arc prospective in operation.

the tenders. when properly under.

heretofore unexplainable.
Some OF the railroads are buildins
their tenders on longer and lower
lines, with heavier trucks. and report

much more satisfactory than that of
the lighter and higher tenders OF the
old type.

was built before the day of heavy
