1Opinion of the Court

HAZEL, District Judge.

This is a motion to set aside service of the summons upon the defendant. Service was made upon a director of the corporation within the state of Hew York. The director has his permanent residence at Home, in this state. The cause of action arose within the state. Moreover, I am of the opinion that the company is doing business within this state, and therefore a director of the defendant is a proiier officer upon whom service of the summons can be effected.
