place it, the evidence Is contradict
tory and the burden Of proof rests on
the plaintiff, but that burden has on the
whole been amply sustained
2. That at the dissolution of the firm in
December, 1912, this account was assigned
orally to Mr.. Lord, the plaintiff, and a
member Of the Arm, but the written as
signment was not executed until June /,
1913, in furtherance of the prior agree
ment
8. That this written assignment related
back to the time of the oral assignment,
was eonfirmatory of the assignee's title
and enabled him to bring suit in his own
name under R. S. ch, LAG, sec. a.

signee. Louis Calder, took the II barrels

Campobello Calder landed, but Cook re-
turned with the liquors, to PASSPORT.
meered his boat nearly opposite his own
house and went home to supper. While
there an officer seized the II barrels, and
removed them from the boat. obtained a
warrant next morning, and libelled them.
At the hearing in the lower court Cook
appeared as claimant, but the liquors
were ordered forfeited. and, after appeal.
the case was brought to the Law Court
on report.
Held
l. That while the transaction is not
free from suspicion, the uncontradicted
evidence of Cook leads US to hold that
the liquors were not intended for Illegal
sale in this State, and 1t might be rea-
sonably inferred that Caldere was at
tempting to avoid the customs laws of
New Brunswick rather than the prohibit
tory law of Maine,
2. That Cook, as bailee for hire, had a
legal right to the custody of the goods as
against one having no right.
Claim sustained. Order to issue for the
return of the liquors seized to the
Claimant.

SEC'Y LANES ANNUAL REPORT
RECOMMENDS MAKING OF indian
INTEGRAL PART ANN CITIzENRY'

Washington, Dec, "a definite, con-
structive policy for the Indian, by which
he may be transformed from a ward of
the government to successful and inte-
grail part of the American citizenry; a
discussion of the development of the
West: and review of the achievements
of the last year, are contained in the an
nual report of Secretary Franklin TX.
Lane of the Interior Department, sent to-
day to President Wilson.
Three things" says Secretary Lane
"of unusual purport have marked the
life of this department during the past
year-the passing of the Cherokee Ma
ton, the opening of Alaska, and the adj
yancement of a series of measures aimed
to promote the further development OF
the West. These things are apparently
unrelated, yet they have made an APP
peal to me as alike illustrative of the
newness OF cur country, the novelty of
Its problems, and the responsiveness of
our Government"
Secretary Lane discusses the Indian
problem at length and asks whether st
is for the benefit of the Indian himself
that the present almshouse policy
should continue.
THE American conscience, our sense of
justice, our traditions, in fact, will not
permit the adoption of drastic course
that would cast the Indian upon world

permitted the plaintiff to introduce evil
dence of a custom ON the part of others

we live. No man has solved the problem
