OUP LAW UFEM. Act Imposing Penalty for Failing to Settle Promptly Claims for Loss or of Damage to Freight. Washington, Feb. 21.-The United States Supreme Court to-day sus tained the State Supreme Court of South Carolina in the cases of Ma zursky, MeTeer, Charles Keith and Von Lehe, against the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, and decided that the Act of the Legislature of that State passed in 1904, regulating the man ner in which common carriers doingi business in South Oarolina shouldi adjust freight charges and claims for loss of or damages to freight, was constitutional. This Act is as follows: "That every claim for loss or dam age to property while in the posses sion -of such commoin carriers shall be adjusted and paid within forty days, in case of shipments wholly within this State, and within ninety days, in case of shipments without this State, after the filing 6f such, claim with the agent of such carrier at the point of destination 6f such shipment. J "Provided, that no such claira! shall be filed until after the arrival of the shipmaent or some part thereof at the point of destination or until after such common carrier shall be liable for the amount of such loss orl damage, 'together with interest thereon from the date of the filing If the claim thereon until, the paymert thereof. Failure to adjust and pay such claim within the periods herein. prescribed shall subject each carrier so failing to a penalty of $50 .or each and every such failure to be re covered by any consigmnee or Oon signees aggrieved in any Court of competent jurisdiction. .'Provided, that s sueWei signee or consignees recover in such action the full amount claimed, no penalty shall be recovered, but only the actual amount of the loss or dam age with interest as aforesaid. "Provided' further, that no com mon carrier shall be liable under this Aet for property which never came into its possession, if - it complies with the provisions of Section 1,710 Volume 1 of the Code of Laws of Sonth Carolina, 1902, as follows: "When under contract for ship ment or express over two or more, common :carriers tiier esponsibility of each or any of them shall ceail upon delivery to the 'connecting line "in good order,'' and if such freight or expiess has been lost, damaged or destroyed, it shall be the duty of the initial, delivering or termtinel ~road, upon notice .of such loss, dae or destruction :being:' given~ .6 ilg by shippers, consignee, or their assigns, toi adjust such kess or :damage, with the owners of said goods wifhin for ty days, and upon failure to dis. charge such 'duty within forty Aeys after such iotice, 4r- toe. trace sueh freighf or express, and inform te saidparty to notifying whien, where and by which carrier .the -said. freight or express was' lost;' damaged or destroyed, within said forty days,} then said carrier shall be liable -for all such los~s, damage or destruction' in the same manner and to the -same extent as if such loss, damage or destruction occurred on its lines: Provided that if such initial, termi-. nal or delivering road can prove -that, by the exercise of due diligence it has been unable to trace the line' upon which said loss, damage or de struetion occurred, it shall thereupon be excused from liability under this section." To test the validity of the pro visions of the Act, when applied to claims for loss or damage to Inter State freight was the object of the suits. Oibjeetion was made that the Act was unconstitutional and invalid because repugnant' to the Constitu tion of the United States. Objeetions were overruled and judgment given for claimants, in a Magistrate's Court, which the Su-! preme Court sustained.
