ruling OF far reaching Importance hold
ing in effect that it is unconstitutional
for congress TO appropriate money for

ed an Injunction restraining the treas
grer Of the United States from paying

pital any money belonging to the Unit
ed States or the District Of Columbia,
In accordance with an agreement be-

the commissioners should erect on the
grounds Of the Providence hospital a
building for the treatment Of minor
contagious diseases without expense tc
the hospital, but should be paid out of
an appropriation for that purpose con-
tanned in the District appropriation
bill approved March g. 1897. and that
when the building should be completed
II should be turned over TO the OH

The application for the injunction
was made by Joseph Bradneld, who
maintained that the question arising in

involved a principle and a precedent
for the appropriation of United states

ligious societies contrary to the con-
