OPENING ATTACK ON NEW PUBLICITY LAW Lawyers File Brief With the
 Supreme Court
 TO ARGUE CASE DEC. 2
Brief Alleges Law Benefits Public Tn No Way But Is Hurtful to News paper Owner in That It Ex-
 poses His Private Affairs

Washington, November 1s.-The opening attack upon the constitutionality Of the sections of the recent postal appropriation act requiring newspapers to give postal authorities access to their circulation rec ords, to publish the names of their stock holders and bondholders, as well as to label paid political articles as advertise ments, was made today before the su- preme court of the United States in a printed brief filed by Robert C. Morris and c. B. Plante, on behalf of the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin of New York. The case is set for argument orally on December o.
 The attorneys for the newspaper con- tend principally that the sections violate the constitutional liberty of the 25,00D newspapers, magazines and periodicals published throughout the United states
 Unlike public service eorporatio the newspapers, the attorneys claim, possess no elements which give the government right to regulate their business except in so far as the public morals of public vel fare is concerned
 Does Not Help Public
 Absolutely no authority can be found for contention that the provisions com plained of in this act were enacted for the public benefit" declare the attorneys
 Neither the government nor the public at large can be benefited by the knowl- edge of the private business affairs and the financial condition of the owner of newspaper On the other hand, the pro- visions objected to in the act are more than unreasonab ble in their demands upon the owner of a newspaper-they are per niciously inquisitorial. They strike down private rights and invade personal free dom and destroy private property in that they ruin the publication If it refuses to meet their arbitrary demands, for ruin would surely follow the denial of the priv ileges of the mail.
 'IE the act individual injury is inflicted without any corresponding benefit to so- ciety. If the corporation is doing business upon borrowed money for which 1t has issued it's notes or other obligations it must publish to the world the holders of such obligations to the annoyance of such lenders and the endangering of it's credit It must show the vulnerable spots in it's financial armor to the benefit of it's com petitors and enemies. Banks and other large financial institutions will refuse to loan it money for fear that they will be held out and advertised as supporting or controlling it's editorial or political policy. Nor are these fanciful objections To the business man they are real and alarm ing.''
 The attorneys warn lawyers, doctors and other professional men that if this act is upheld, Congress may equally require them to publish and disclose the names of their clients.

Woman Fired Also

The woman, also armed, had fired several shots, some of which, 1t Is be- lieved, hit the detective.

At the hospital to which all of the wounded were removed, it was said that probably all except But Ter would die. ue
 At late hour two trunks and two suitcases which the couple had taken to the hotel, were removed to a police station. but the stolen jewelry was not found.

The indict- menk on which the Beckendorf girl was held, charged her with numerous robberies of jewels, amounting to sey- eral thousand dollars.
 According to the police the girl broke down tonight and confessed that the Vogels were with her. and it was to them she had given the stolen articles. The plan of operation was for the girl to advertise for a position as domestic and as soon as she had obtained it to rob her employers house.

CHURCH CENSUS
FIGURES 100000
Exceed Estimate Given Out
After Whirlwind Campaign
Week Ago.

Final compilation of the records
gathered in the recent religious census
Of Richmond show that there are only
l.s50 people In this city with no real
leaning toward any particular church
or creed. In addition. the figures
show that there are 1900 church let
tiers unplaced, the owners OF the letters
coming from all parts of the United
States, Scotland, Denmark and other
European countries. The totals are
relatively small when compared with
tho records discovered in other cities
where L religious census has been
taken.
The Hin Directory Company ccnclud-
ed yesterday the work of duplicating
the no preference" cards. Wherever
one member OF a family preferred q
certain church and other members had
no preference. the entire household was
turned over TO the denomination pre-
! ferred by the one member. For this
reason, there We're only about 500 cards
| to be duplicated on the final analysis
and a duplicate list has been given 10
| every creed and denomination in the
city. AhotAer interesting feature OF
the statistics gathered Is that Rich
mond is shown to have more than the
usual percentage OF families having in
tcrnal religious differences. Interde-
nominational marriages are frequent in
Richmond.
With the last card in, It was found
! that lI0,600 persons We're recorded by
the census takers on Tuesday after
noon, which is higher than the original
! estimate Of the number ot people reach
