Decision of Appeals Court
On Receivership Case

termine who, in accordance with
the terms of the settlement and
of this order, is ultimately en-
titled, at law or in equity, to
the ownership, possession and
application of any of the divi-
dendS declared on the common
stock of Fruit Growers Express
Company, as set forth in said
application"
The Court Of Appeals found
that enough appears to convince
that the appellant, in filing its
claim in the receivership proceed
ings and in accepting the benefits
of the decree, consented likewise
that the Virginia court should
pass upon the question in the
manner declared in the decree.
The case is remanded to the Dis
trict Supreme Court with instruc-
tions to set aside its order sus-
tanning the demurrer but staying
further proceedings pending final
disposition of jurisdictional mat
ters by the Virginia court.
The case was decided April 30.
It was argued April 4 and 5 by
Daniel Willard, jr., Richard H.
Wilmer and Douglas L. Hatch for
appellant and Carl H. Richmond
and j. j. Carmody for the ap'
pellee.

Harman's office.
The committee appointed by F..
Regis Noel, shortly after his cleo
ton as president of the Bar AS
sociation, has found that its task
did not end when it went to the
White House to recommend Judge
j. A. Cobb for reappoinment to
the Municipal Court bench.
It seems that the Scott hackers
were very active and the White
House apparently took the aSso-
cations action as routine cour-
tesy to a retiring judge.
The Bar Association intended
otherwise, however, and the COM
mittee has been putting in a very
strenuous week to impress it's Sc
riousneSs on the Department Of
Justice. Virtually every member
of the committee, and a number
Of other attorneys high in the
profession have gone to bat for
Judge Cobb and have made per-
sonal calls on the powers that
be in his behalf.
There is one colored lawyer who
has no political aspirations. He
is John Wilson.
His cleverness is acknowledged,
and there is an amusing incident
related of a time when he got his
words mixed while addressing the
court in a first degree murder
trial.
The lawyer had waxed eloquent
in his appeal to the bench for a
directed verdict Of not guilty. SO
enthusiastic in his appeal for a
directed verdict did he become
that his words flowed freely while
he still pictured in his mind the
electric chair that might be wait
ing for his client. He concluded:
''Your honor, in view Of the
Governments evidence present
ed in this case, 1 don't see how
your honor can fail to give my
client a directed current"

while walking on First Street

fall on the sidewalk, depres-

The Railroad Credit Corpora
ton, appellant, VS.. Fruits Grow
ers Express Company. appellee.
No. 1915. =. Y
The case in question came to
the District Court of Appeals on
appeal from the Supreme Court
Of the District of Columbia.
Railroad Credit Corporation
had loaned the Norfolk and
Southern Railroad Company $780,
900 in March, 1882, and took as
security 1872 shares Of stock OF
Fruit Growers Express Company.
In July, 1882, receivers were ap-
pointed for the railroad COM
pany in the United States Court
for the Eastern District of Vir-
ginia.
Receivers paid the interest on
the debt on September %, 1882,
but failed to pay the interest due
On March %, 1888. The Credit
Corporation then demanded
payment by the Fruit Grow
ers Express of dividends 1t
had declared, but the Fruit Grow.
ers Express refused to deliver the
money, presumably on the ground
that the railroad company, or its
receivers were record holders of
the stock. Suit was then begun
in the District Supreme Court to
determine the right of the credit
corporation to the dividends.
A demurrer to the declaration
was filed challenging the juriSdic-
ton of the District Supreme
Court because Of the prior taking
and exercising of jurisdiction by
the Virginia Federal court and
also because the District Supreme
Court could not adjudge the
rights of the receivers or the rail
road as neither were parties to
the action. The demurrer was
sustained.
It did not appear in the decla-
ration that the receivership court
had taken jurisdiction of the SUBJ
ject matter or of the parties to
the action, the higher court pre-
sumed that the lower court had
acted on the ground that the re-
ceivers were necessary parties and
that the district court in Virginia
had taken jurisdiction in taking
possession of the railroads prop
erty.
Stating the rule applying to
jurisdiction generally, the higher
court went on to point out that the
applicability of the rule is not ap-
parent here because the subject
matter involved in the suit is not
property in the sense in which
the rule applies, but is no more
than a debt due by the express
company either to the pledgor or
the pledge of the shares of stock
on which the dividend had been
declared. In that respect it be-
comes no more than contested
claim, its situs outside the ter
ritorial limits of the receivership
court.
Both parties, wever, had
signed consent decree on Feb
ruary 27, 1884 in which the re
ceivers were to settle with the
credit corporation by transferring
to the corporation all the rail
roads right, title and interest in
the pledged stock together with
the payment of some $4,000 in
money. With respect to the con-
tested dividends, however, both
parties submitted themselves to
the jurisdiction of the receivership
court in the decree which further
provided:
upon the settlements as
herein authorized, being made,
the said special master shall
stand discharged. except to de-

But she now regarded the
airy feature with dreamy salts
faction. Last night Scotty
Campbell, with whom Kathleen
was now in love, said it was
the cutest nose in the world.
Scotty was not like Gregg.
He wouldn't be angry If Kath-
leen kept him waiting.
Kathleen applied a bright
pink lacquer to her nails, sur
veyed them critically, went over
to g. flame colored dress which
lay on the bed, to see that the
shade matched perfectly. With
out warning, Edward was in
the room. He was Immediately
dressed in stiff white shirt and
black tuxedo. He looked very
well.
"Where are you kids going?"
Dancing" said Kathleen
crisply. We're going to the
Mark"
Edward regarded them with
longing, SO that Pippin said
impulsively: "You look quite
handsome, Edward. Where are
YOU going?"
I'm going dancing, too"
AS he still continued hun
grily looking at his sister, then
at Pippin, she added without
thinking: "Are you and Sonia
going alone, Edward?"
''Well, Of course!"
"Why don't you come along
with us? We'd love to have
you'll"
Edwards face stained with a
quick red. He answered tone
less: perhaps Kathleen
wouldn't be so glad to have us
along"

Kathleen put down the nail
file and offered indifferently:
"Oh sure, come along. That
will be fine with me-"
DO you really mean it,
Kay?"
"You know me, Edward! I
pretty much say what I mean"
He answered with a tremb-
ling rush: Sonia will hit the
ceiling!"
The tears rushed to Pippin's
eyes, but Kathleen looked at
her with faint contempt.
AS Edward went down the
hall, she said evenly: "You
can't bear to hurt anyone, can
you, Pippin? But after all, he's
chosen to marry her. He didn't
ask our opinion. Why do WE
have to love her? You spoiled
your own evening and mine to
make theirs. Why? Your i'm
pulse is always to save the
other fellow even if it robs
yourself. What a sap--what a
sap"
Before Pippin could defend
herself, Kevin laughed. He
stood at Kathleen's door with
a half-mocking: Generous chill.

purposes to the detriment of the

Mr.. Shipman said the question
Of whether the country was
Scrapping its constitution is by
no means new. Capitalists es-
pecialiy. he said. have frequent
ly protested against the restric-
ton Of individual rights in the
acquisition, use and control OF
wealth, but in every instance the
courts have upheld laws enacted
for the common good. This was
done, he recalled, when money
lenders attacked the constitution
atty Of laws fixing legal rates
of interest, when public service
corporations rebelled against gov
ernmental control of rates, and
when syndicates that had cora
cred commodities and forced up
prices were abolished by anti
trust laws.
"And when the income tax
law brought a storm of protest
from rich men, the 10th amend
ment to the constitution was
adopted" the speaker said. In
these and other instances the
courts laid down the broad prin-
ciple that no man has the right
to acquire property by oppres-
sion of others or the right to
use property in manner detri-
mental to the common good"
Mr.. Shipman said that while
VIC all have been disturbed by
seeing millions go out Of the
United States treasury to relieve
unemployed and by seeing the
government assume control over
business and industry. these and
other emergency measures were
necessary and they will be aban-
doned when the crisis is past.
