*311Mr. Justice Jones.
I concur in the result. I assent to the main proposition that a telegraph company in the conduct of its business may make regulations not opposed to law or public policy and which are reasonable. This, of course,includes the power to establish reasonable office hours. Prom which it follows that it is not the duty oí a telegraph company to receive, transmit or deliver a -message out oí reasonable office hours, in the absence of circumstances showing an agreement to the contrary or showing a waiver of the regulation.
Mr. Justice Woods concurs in the main opinion and that of Mr. Justice Jones.
Mr. Justice Gary did not sit in this case because of illness.
