Attorney General Finally Authorized Zee" But the Motorcycle Was Rusting Away While Held
 'In Hook"
By c. E.. STEWART

Washington, October 1s.-(Special)- War and secession have probably been averted. The federal government and the commonwealth of Rhode Island have been reconciled, largely through the joint efforts of Attorney General Wickersham, Governor Pothier of Rhode Island and Solicitor George P. McCabe of the depart ment of agriculture, The war cloud has vanished and peace is assured.
 The whole embroglio rose over the ques- ton of whether the federal government was under any obligation to pay a license to sovereign state. The question has not yet been definitely settled, but it has been gracefully sidestepped by a de- to state whether it can pay a license or not. Just what the legal difference between fee and a license is remains a secret in the bosom of the Attorney Gen. eral but if anyone is anxious to know he might be induced to communicate it to them confidentially. The important point is that it was through this decision that peace was obtained, and it looked for a while that certainly there was going to be trouble, and the very next step would be the recall of ministers and an ending of peaceful and diplomatic relations.
 Meantime the settlement of the ques- ton has cost the parties at interest slT97, and the end is not yet. The state of Rhode Island is in eminent danger of a suit for damages. material and exem- plary, and possibly the question of crim- inal libel. defamation of character and false imprisonment will also be raised be- fore the matter is finally adjudicated. The original cost of the license or fee, as 1t was called, was g.

Chestnut Blight to Blame

All the trouble grew out of the ramifica- tions of the chestnut blight. When this forestry cloud was hanging over New England the state of Rhode Island was glad enough to avail itself of the ser vices of the department of agriculture in locating the cases of blight. At the time one of the plant pathologists of the gov ernment was sent to run down cases of blight, and running being bad on foot he used a motorcycle. Everything went merrily and the chestnut blight was be- ing segregated and crowded to the ropes when a Rhode Island constable butted in. He loomed up In the middle of the high way with a sheet metal badge of author ity of the contour of a scalloped tin plate on his heaving breast and demanded of the plant pathologist what in blazes he was doing pathologizing round on Q motorcycle without state license. The plant pathologist aforesaid replied with more warmth than real diplomacy that he did not need a state license because he was a federal officer He further in- timated that the constable might ''chase himself or some such rude remark.
 To this the constable very properly de- murred He said that there was no law. so far as he knew, to prevent federal officer from walking and pathologizing at the same time, but he'd be goshdinged if he could go smoking around on mofor- cycle without state license.
