TECHNICAL CASE
IN FEDERAL COURT

Exceptions to the respondents
answer in the case of NJ. A. GUMS
Export Company VS.. The British
Steamship "Rosalea" were sustained
by Judge William B. Sheppard in the
federal court yesterday, with the
privilege extended the respondents
for amending its answer.
The case is one of the highly tech
nical claims growing out of the first
war-risk insurance Immediately on
the outbreak of the war in Europe in
1914. Shortly before the war started,
the Rosalea, with a cargo of timber
left Pensacola consigned to a Holland
firm,
While on the way across war was
declared, and being a merchant vessel
flying a flag of one of the belligerent
powers, a war risk insurance COM
pany was formed to insure the yes
sci and cargo against loss.
BY direction Of this association,
the boat was sent to Plymouth, where
the cargo was sold at slightly more
than the value at shipping point. Not
. knowing the change in course, the
] LEGAL company forwarded its drafts to
the original consignee in Holland
and as the vessel had not arrived. nor
the cargo received, the drafts were
returned, and thrown back on the en-
! dorsers, The Equitable Trust Com
pany and the American Express Com
pany. These two sureties instituted
| proceedings against the war risk as
ISOLATION in an effort to collect the
face value of the draft, but only the
value of the cargo when shipped was
RENTED. The surety companies
! claimed the excess realized on the
/ transaction at Plymouth, which
amounted to about $1,000, but the
owners refused to pay it in.
In the answer filed to the libel by
the NJ. A. Quina Export Company 70,
the collection of this difference, own
ers of the Rosalea claimed that the
shippers had relinquished all right t.
the money when the draft was trans
ferred, a point to which the libellant

tanned the exceptions, and gave tbs

ter is a dissolute youth ruined by

together honest young doctor. Dr.,
Billy has a few patients but high
hopes

terry IN the romance, for the pennl-
less Duke Boris is killed under BAT
fling circumstances. DIR. Billy and
even Clover come under Police sus-
picion, but, in the end, it develops
that the duke was murdered by a v,o-
