BERLIN. Aug 26.-Altenberg. or Neu-

barely covering one and ons-half square
miles. and having a population of $500
souls, has ceased TO be, Prussia having
surrendered their claims, dating from
the Napoleonic period. to Belgium, in
view OF a cash consideration that at
present is not disclosed.
This nook of territory, where Holland,
Belgium and Prussia meet, belonged TO
Austria from 1893 to 1914. Following the
NapoIeonic settlement both Belgium and
Prussia claimed Moresnet. They agreed
in 1916 to let the inhabitants rule them
selves, and since then Moresnet has been
practically a republic, governed by an
elected mayor and ten councilmen. the

LITIGATION PREDICTED
FROM AUTOMOBILE LAW
Lawyers Think Regulations
Unconstitutional.
PROTEST AGAINST AGE LIMIT
Rules Governing Steam Engineers
Quoted to Illustrate Arbitrary
Act of Commissioners.

In the opinion of many practitioners
in the District courts the putting into
operation of the proposed automobile
regulations will result in much litiga-
tion. 1t is contended by them that the
Commissioners are without power to ar
bitrarily fix at eighteen years the age
limit of person to whom license will
be granted.
If the age limit of eighteen years ap-
piled only TO applicants for licenses to
operate gasolene and electrical machines
the legality of the regulation would still
be a question of doubt. But when II is
made applicable to persons who make
application for licenses to operate ma
chimes run or propelled by steam It is
contended that the regulation is plainly
in opposition to the established law on
the matter and consequently clearly un-
constitutional.
Steam Engineers Licenses.
The law on the subject of the granting
of licenses to steam engineers in the
District, found in Richardson's revised
supplement to the United States stat
utes, is:
That it shall be unlawful for any per-
son to act as steam engineer in the Dis
trict of Columbia who shall not have
been regularly licensed to do so by the
Commissioners. That applicants for
licenses as steam engineers must be
twenty-one years of age and Of temper
ate habits; must make application in
writing, to which application must be
attached a certificate as to character
and moral habits signed by at least
three citizens of the District, themselves
of moral standing"
II is contended that under this section
of the law governing the granting of
licenses to steam engineers in the Dis
trict the Commissioners are without
authority to issue a license to a person
only eighteen years DID, to run an auto
mobile which is propelled by steam.
Benefits Gas and Electrics.
If under this law applicants eighteen
years of age are refused license il will
without doubt give the companies which
handle the gasolene and electrical ma
chimes a decided advantage In the con-
duct of the business.
On the other hand, it is contended that
a persons age in the matter of issuing
license to operate an automobile
should not be considered, the guide be-
ing wholly the ability of the applicant
to manage machine. whether il be on
Grated by gasolene, electricity, or steam.

LEADERS Do NOT WANT
A SPECIAL SESSION
Senators Oppose Wishes of
the President.
QUAY SOUNDS A WARNING
Financial Discussion, He Says, Might
Hurt the Party-Hender-
sons View.

If the prominent leaders of the Repu5-
lican party can prove themselves strong
enough TO overcome the wish of 5he
President, there is not going to be any
special session of Congress.
This condition of affairs has been in
existence since early spring, but until
the last few days the leaders have been
careful to keep their views to them
selves. Now, however, some of the most
prominent and powerful of the Senators
have come out boldly with the announce
ment that they do not favor any spe-
eial session, and that they intend TO do
what they can to prevent any such a
session being called by the President.
According to dispatches received here,
Senator Aldrich and his friends, Sepa-
tors Platt and Depew of New York, SEN
ator Hanna, and Senator Spooner have
all advised the President not to call the
session. The President, however. has
made no answer. which leads all who
know him to believe that the extra ses-
sion is going to be called whether the
leaders like it or not.
Quay's Views.
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania Is in
the city, on his way - Florida where
he intends to fish until the middle of
September. He is reticent on many
matters, but concerning an extra session
he talked freely. and heartily con-
demned the proposition. He said:
why the President should desire to
new is more than 1 can understand. 1t
is not good politics land while 1t can
benefit neither the President nor the
party ii is likely to do much harm on
the eve Of a national election. There
are at the present time no questions OF
matters for Congress to deal with that
cannot go over until Congress meets
in regular session. There seems 20 me
TO be no hope of financial legislation,
and with no such hope in sight cannot
see why we should have any special ses-
sion''
When asked tor his views on finacial
legislation, Senator Quay declined to
talk He would say nothing concerning
the Panama Canal, except that be
thought canal would be provided for
at the coming session of Congress-
should the President take no action in
the meantime.
The United States Is not bound 10
the Panama Canal" he said. "and II no
arrangements can be made with Colon
bia, there is another route almost as
good"
Fear Discussion.
Former Speaker of the House Hendar-
son was In the city last night for a few
hours. When asked for his views on the
special session matter, he said he did
not think there would be any financial
legislation, nor any other matter which
would make such a session necessary
However, there was no reason why such
a session should not be held if the Presi-
dent wanted it. The session would en-
able Congress to get all of the public
business out of the way in time for the
leaders 70 begin an early national cam
paign.
1t would seem that the reason why
the Republicans do not want an extra
session, and are flirting with financial
legislation, is that they fear long dis
cussion of the subject on the eve Of a
national election
