TEST ON M ADOO ORDER
BEGUN BY RAILROAD
A case originating In Justice George
B. Coleman's court In which it wa
sought tn appeal same to th Circuit
court without an appeal bond, may find
It a way to the supreme court of the
United States to determine the right of
the railroads undr government control
to appeal cases without making appeal
bonds.
H. Glassman sued the St. Louis
Pan Francisco Railroad company In
Justice Coleman's court to recover $127.
said to have been the value of goods
lost in transit by the defendant rail
road. Trather Mcpnnald, associated
with J. W. Canada, attorney for the
PYlfCO railroad, sought to appeal th
case to the circuit court without making
bond, relying on Order No. B0. issued by
W. (J. McAdoo, director-general of rail
roads, in which It ts set forth the rail
roads undoi government supervision
may appeal cases without making bond
Justice Coleman held that the state
statute requiring this bond antedated
the order issued by Mr. McAdoo and
therefore the case could not be ap
pealed without bond He said the only
way to appeal n case from his court
was by making an appeal bond, and by
th Issuance of a writ of certiorari and
supersedeas or by taking the pauper's
oath.
Attorney McDonald, under protest,
made a personal bond to get the r-aae
into the circuit court, in order that the
matter might be decided there and ap
pealed to the supreme court In the
event the circuit court Judge ruled that
cases may be appealed by the railroad
administration without appeal bonds.
