Washington. Feb e5.-The great
question or the authority Of one
branch Or the government over an
other was argued today n the sn-
preme court of the District NJ Column
hla with rreceaents dating from the
days OF Chief Justice Marshall. The
mere mandamua proceedings Of the
Valley Paper company Of 1iolsoke,
Mass, against the joint congressional
committee on printing evolved into
d contest Of authority between the
courts and congress. and the foun.
as any in the annals of the judiciary.
Whether the printing committee can
be compelled by court to rescind its
action on purchases OF paper for the
public printing and take into consid-
Grafton the bid of the Valley Paper
company is the immediate question.
Whether congress and its members, in
their official capacity and clothed
with constitutional immunity, are
mate one, counsel on each side is
ready To admit.
Today senators of the printing COM
mittee continued in their attitude TO
ignore the summons of the court on
the ground that II was without jurls-'

the grayer contention was made that

ments.

ANNIVERSARY OF VENICE

VENICE, June 21.-,The season was
ushered in at Venice tonight by a ball
held at Venice dance pavilion. This
function marked the fifth anniversary

from practically every city within a
radius of seVenty-fiVe miles of Los An
geles.

head of these stood Mrs. Abbot Kinney
and next in order We're Mrs NJ NJ

.OUSTING Of TEACHERS
BRINGS ON SCHOOL WAR
Ocean Park Trustees Petitioned
to Reappoint Two Dis
missed Educators

OCEAN PARK, June 21.-The dis
missal by the city school trustees OF
Miss Kathryn Tourney and Miss Addia
Adams from their positions as teachers
is likely to create an "educational' war.
Petitions were circulated today directed
to the board Of school trustees asking
for the reappointment of the young
women.
Without previous notice Miss Tour
ney and Miss Adams say they received
letters suggesting they obtain employ
ment elsewhere. The letters said in
substance that lit was for the good of
the service" but friends of the dis
charged teachers claim the real reason
for the action of the board is of a
political nature, augmented somewhat
by Jealous discord among the eight
teachers in the city school. Miss Pearl
Montgomery of Alhambra and Miss
Officer of Ocean Park have been placed
in the positions vacated by the deposed
teachers.
Miss Tourney has taught here for
four years and Miss Adams three years.
Their friends say they have sought the
assistance of Mark Keppel, county su-
perintendent of schools, in their effort
to be reinstated

PASADENANS TURN FROM
LIGHTS TO PAVING FIGHT
Resident Starts Fund to Contest
Patents on Warrenite

PASADENA, June Pas a matter
of diversion from the electrical war,
L. B. Eaton, Ell Molino avenue and
Herkimer street. made a proposition
to the city council yesterday to donate
$100 and ask his neighbors to subscribe
patents which the Warren Brothers
claim to hold on Warrenite pavement,
if the city will vote to pave the ave-
nue. with a material similar to that
which the company claims exclusive
right to use and which the city has
been restrained from using.
Eaton says he has legal advice which
would justify this action on the part
of the city, declaring if his neighbors
will stand by him it can be proved
the city cannot be compelled to pay
royalty. The matter was laid over for
one week, during which time further
investigation will be made.
Property owners on Raymond ave-
nue., between Orange Grove avenue
and Chestnut street, who were grant
ed permission two weeks ago to lay
Warrenite pavement and pay the roy
alties themselves without binding the
city to an admission of the validity
of the patents, yesterday asked that
the proceedings be abandoned, claim
ing the present pavement will last for
two years. The matter was laid over
for a week.
Four more arrests were made yes
terday for violation of the Marengo
boulevard ordinance prohibiting heavy
teaming on that thoroughfare. e. L.
Schriver, G. N. Pungate, C r. Garth
ers and William Buckley are charged
with driving on the boulevard with
heavy wagons loaded with oranges,
and they, with the others previously
charged with violating the ordinance,
will appear for hearing July in a
test case.
