drews Paper Co. The X L. Andrews
Paper Co, is a foreign corporation or
ganiscd under the laws OF and doing
business In the District OF Columbia.
The Cushnco rarer Co. brought an

and attached certain paper title to
which Il claimed was In the r. p. An
drews Paper Co. Tho Il. L. Andrews
Paper Co. appeared specially and filed

the ground that II was a foreign cor

upon II and that this court had no fur
isdiction Of II unless II found proper
ty belonging TO Il within the State of
Maine and attached same. It further
claimed that no jurisdiction over it was
obtained by attaching the paper which
was attached as it had no title to this
paper.
The evidence disclosed the fact that
the Bankert Paper Co. some time in
August. 1915. offered to sell certain pa
per as per sample submitted to the r.
P. Andrews Co.. prices f. o. b. Wash
ington. Subsequently the R. p. Andrews

show that this paper was the paper or
dered by the r. p. Andrews Paper Co.
from the Bankert Paper Co. and that if
| it was the paper so ordered title would
not pass under the terms Of the con-
tract price f. o. b. Washington until
the paper reached Washington and fur
Their that the fact that the shipper in
tended to retain title was shown by the
fact that the bill of lading had not been
sent by the Cushnoc Paper Co. to the
consgnee but to the Whiting, Patterson
| Co.
| Counsel for the plaintiff contended
that the terms. price f. o. b. Washing
ton meant that delivery was to take
place as soon as the paper was placed
on the cars at the place of shipment
but that the shipper was to pay the
freight. and further that it was a pre-
sumption Of law that the title passed
to the consignee named in the bill of
lading at the time the bill of lading was
taken.
Judge Beane reserved his decision. E.
L. Mclean appeared as counsel for the
r. 2. Andrews Paper Co. and Melvin
