FRENCH OFFICIAL ARRESTED
Appropriates Money Derived From
Sale of Church Property,

Paris, March 10.-The arrest of M.
Duez, following his confession that he
had Incorporated something like
$1,000,000 of the funds derived from
the sale of church property, for which
he was the liquidator, has created a
great sensation. Intimations are free
ly made that other liquidators in the
employ of the government are sim
ilarly involved.
The Republican press finds no words
of excuse for the disgraced official and
lays much of the responsibility upon
the immense amount OF work assigned
to single liquidator. At the same
time these papers accord the govern
ment unstinted praise for courage in
exposing the scandal on the eve of
the general elections, when the affair
Is sure to become powerful weapon
In the hands of Catholic adversaries,
who for months have been organizing
genuine political campaign.

RELY MAINLY ON
STATES RIGHTS
Arguments in Opposition to
Corporation Tax.
BIG LAWYERS ENGAGED

Frederic r. coudert, John c. Johnson
and Other Prominent Attorneys Ap-
pear for Various Clients and the
Similarity of Their Briefs Calls At
tention to the Main Point of De-
fense In the Case.
Washington, March 10.-From the
briefs filed in the supreme court Of
the United States in opposition to the
corporation tax lawyers draw the con-
clusion that one of the principal fights
on the constitutionality of that meas
ure is to be waged over the question
of whether the tax is an infringement
on the power of the state to grant
franchises. The question comes up
for oral argument before the court
next week.
Frederic r. Coudert, counsel in two
Of the cases in which the tax is op-
posed, argues at length against the SO
called infringement by the federal
government.
"The power to grant charters" he
says, SIS one of the oldest state pow.
ers. 1t antedates the Revolution. Tax.
alton, with its logically concomitant
potential destruction of this power by
the general government, would thus
be an attack upon and possibly ami
hilation of one of the greatest and old
est of state functions"
In the brief of John G. johnson and
Frederick J. Stimson in opposition to
the tax in another case the argument
is concluded with this quotation from
former Chief Justice Marshall:
"No political dreamer was ever wild
enough to think of breaking down the
lines which separate the states and o.
compounding the American people
into one common mass"
Jed l.. Washburn, in brief In favor
of holding the tax unconstitutional, re
fers to the same point as follows:
"If whatever the United States has
right to do" said he, 'the individual
states have no right to undo, it II
equally true that whatever the individ
ual states, in the exercise of the re
served power under the tenth amend
ment have a right to do, the congress.
Of the United States has not the righ
to undo"

bakers would join the strike.
Stick to Original Estimates.
Strike leaders said they had no rea.
son to change their estimates that be.
tween 125, 900 and 10000 persons are
idle as a result of the calling Of the
general strike. The city administra.
ton continues to belittle the walkout,
Director of Public Safety Henry Clay
adhering to his statement that less
than 10000 responded to the strike
call. The directors figures are con.
sidered too low. as hosiery manufac.

industry. admits that $1,000 workers
in that line alone are now idle.
The action of the Philadelphia
Hosiery Manufacturers association in
shutting down their mills until Mon.
day with threat that IL the workers
do not return on that day shut down
until fall will occur is likely to be fol
lowed by q similar movement in other
industries. The hosiery association
represents rs per cent Of the local
output from 180 mills. Owners OF
tapestry carpet mills may also shut
down until Monday.
The section of the city suffering
most from the strike Is Kensington
