SEVEN YEARS LATER

Must Pay Damages fer Maintain

The Minnesota supreme court has
Just decided case that was begun
seven years ago and tried before Judge
Nye in the district court Of Stearns
county.
John Stuhl, of Albany, Stearns coun-
ty, brought suit for damages against
the Great Northern railway for main
tanning a stockyard close to his resi-
dence. At first there were numerous
delays in the district court, the rail-
road changing attorneys several times.
1t was first started before Judge Taylor
with Judge Himsl and ]. A. Roeser as
attorneys for the plaintiff. The road
was first represented by Senator Sulli-
van, later by Mr.. James, later by James
r. Bennett and at last by Attorney
Countryman. Judge Roeser. upon taxi
ing the bench, was disqualified from
acting and Judge Nye heard the case,
which was then handled by Mr.. Himsl
alone.
The district court gave Stuhl YER
dict for 5000. The supreme court, in
unfolding the lower court, specifically
states that the decision does not set up
q new law but applies only to the case
at bar, many material facts being nee.
essary to make other cases similar.

most striking historical instances OF
armed neutrality were those Of the
north European powers in 1880 and
1900 made to defend the principle OF
free ships and free goods adopted by

there can be no question of their
right TO secure their menaced inter-

best calculated to accomplish that
purpose.
AN armed neutrality is in fact an
alliance of several powers usually OF
defensive character, though this is
by no means essential"
During the present war, Holland and
Switzerland have maintained what
amounts to an armed neutrality al
though 1t has been confined to land
Armed neutrality was adopted by
the United States soon after 1878 when
war broke out between France and
Spain and France and Great Britain.
Neutrals became alarmed at the dam

were threatened and the empress of
Russia undertook to unite them in de-

Russia. Denmark, Sweden, Holland,
Austria and Portugal. They formed
league which under the name of arm
ed neutrality undertook a. preserve
inviolate the maritime rights of neut-
rails. These declarations were recog-
nized by the treaty Of peace between
Great Britain and France and were
the establishing law Of nations when
the United States in 1888 was recog-
nized as independent by the powers
of the world.
While there was no indication that
President Wilson was intending to ask
other neutrals to join the United
States in armed neutrality the fact
that he already has invited them to
join this country in breaking off dip
iomatic relations with Germany arous-
ed speculation as to whether he might
not ask neutrals to join in the latest
move.
Neutrats May Join.
Holland, Norway and Spain, es-

out, might consider Joining with the
United States.
The last time the United States was

during the war between France and
England, which ended with the down.
fall of Napoleon.
After many acts against American
commerce bound for England, France
on Jan. IS, 1898. decreed that every
vessel found at sea loaded with mer-
chandise produced in England or her
possessions could be made prize.
Many American vessels were seized
and in June, 1898. President Adams
began to obtain from congress author

to put the United States in a better
position to make war If it became
necessary.
