them, passed through the majestic
portals of the nation’s finest water
way. and came, to an anchorage upon

Fraser replied: “I don’l know wheth-

sought to compel defendants to furnish

The case is one in which it is sought
to recover money lost on a speculation
in cotton futures in the New York Ex
change. Judge Speer overruled the
demurrer.
"Have you found any case where the
United States courts have been used |
by a party seeking to recover money
lost on cotton futures?" he asked.
Attorneys Oliver and Owens stated
that they had not.
”1 think." continued Judge Speer, i
“that it would he well for counsel on 1
both sides to consider the inquiry made
by the court. It occurs to me that it
may be important in the final deter- |
initiation of the cause as to whether or i
not the courts of the I’nited States
shall be utilized by one gambler for the I
purpose of recovering money which h* I
has paid to another gambler."

was sighted by ■ the Government life

from shore. No signs of life were vis

ers made no attempt to reach her.
Captain . Casto, knowing that these
boats usually carry a crew of three
men besides a captain and a cook, call
ed his crew about him and asked for
volunteers to go to the rescue. Every
man stepped forward, and the schoon
