OWNERS OF BOAT
HELD RESPONSIBLE
The case of the Newport & Memphis
Packet Company vs. Hill, decided bj
J idge Triebir last fall, web Mor.da
affirmed by the United States court ol
appeals.
The question involved was one ol
greatest importance, involving the li
ability of a steamboat owner for the
assaults committed by captain of the
watch on other deck hands. In this
case one of the negro rousters was
designated as captain of the watch tc
superintend the other rousters. Hil
not working fast enough to suit the
captain of the watch, he struck him
with a spoke, creaking his arm. Hill
thereupon sued the owners of the
boat for damages and was awarded
$400 by Judge Trieber. The owners
contended they were not liable for the
action of the captain of the watch, as
he was merely a fellow-servant; this
contention being overruled by Judge
Trieber, an appeal was taken and the
ruling of Judge Trieber affirmed.
This is the first instance in which
an appellate court has passed upor
this questiou .and it will serve as a
precedent in all cases where rousters
and deckhands are brutally assaultec
by mates and csiptains of the watch
or other nettv boat officers.

Public Utilities.
Little Rock, April 15.—In the house
yesterday that body failed to pass 1
over the governor’s veto Representa- '
tive Roy D. Campbell’s bill providing 1
for redigesting the statutes of Arkan
sas and authorizing the supreme court
to appoint the digester. The vote on
passing the measure over the veto ;
was 38 ayes to 37 noes. Fifty-one
votes were required. The bill was
vetoed by the governor on April 2,
principally on the ground that the
appointment of the digester is a func- '
tion of the executive and not of the
judicial department.
The house passed Senator Caldwell’s
bill empowering city councils to reg
ulate prices charged for water, gas
and electricity.
