UPHOLDS DAUPHIN
Affirms Rulings of Judges
Kunkcl and McCarrell in
Three Cases
Three decisions of the Supreme
Court, affirming rulings of Judges
George Kunkel and S. J. M. McCarrell
of the Dauphin county court, were
handed down on Saturday.
The cases were:
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs.
Dollar Savings Bank.
Ella Getkin vs. Pennsylvania Rail
road Company.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs.
Schwarzchlld and Sulzberger Company
of America.
The Schwarzchlld case is probably
the most important of the three, as it
will add thousands of dollars to ttie
State treasury on bonuses from cor
porations of other states doing bus
iness in Pennsylvania.
Judge McCarrell, in his opinion on
this suit, decided the State bonus
should be estimated from the amount
of property which the foreign corpo
ration Is using in its business in this
State. This was fought by tiie
Schwarzchlld company, but the Su
preme Court affirmed per curiam tne
decision of Judge McCarrell.
Brought by State
The suit against the Dollar Savings
Rank was brought by the State to get
possession of (money which had been
on deposit for more than thirty years
and had not been touched by the de
positor. Judge Kunkel ordered Judg
ment to be entered against the bank
for want of a sufficient affidavit of

Compared with the figures for the
