court held he had not shown that his

William J. Flynn, in charge of the
New York division of the United
States Secret Service, probably will
be made chief of the entire service,
about Dec. Is. Secretary MacVeagh
of the treasury department, Monday,
indicated that he would appoint Mr..
Flynn about that time to fill the va
cancy caused by the promotion of

agents of the customs service.
The estate of the late Rear Admiral

held in trust to assist young men to
acquire training which will enable
them to enter the Naval Academy, in
stead of going to the admiraPs heirs

court SO held. Monday. The decision
was the outcome of suit by the heirs
to get the estate on the theory that

tempting to carry out the terms of

capacity of the trust.
Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury
department. Monday, declared it his
opinion that no emergency existed in

fying the Intervention of the govern
ment. With the rate on call money
soaring from 10 to 20 per cent, during

of Colorado is chairman, To urge that
the government purchase the postal

mission was told that this company
through subsidiaries, had invested about

willing to sell at a fair valuation, to
be agreed upon after investigation by
government experts.
Charles Hayden, representing the COM

essentially a government enterprise, and
that his company desired TO sell out be-

man chandeliers statement on the
European situation, together with that
of Herr Won Kiderlin- Waechter, the
German foreign secretary, confirming
that Great Britain aud Germany are
co operating anicably in favor of
peace is regarded in the European
capitals as reassuring and as calcu-
lated to have an effect when the peace
delegates come to discuss terms.

Iaration OF the solidarity of the Triple
Alliance, which ii is reported has just
been renewed for another term of
years and his announcement of Ger
many's determination tos pursue a
policy, upholdirg Turkey in an eco
nomic sense, is likely to influence the
delegates of all the countries con-
cerned to discuss peace conditions in
the spirit of moderation already shown
in the armistiee negotiations.
Although there is no change in the
actual situation, tonight. some mis-
giving is beginning to be expressed
with regard to the attitude of Greece.
Various Ieasons are assigned for great
reluctance to sign tie armistice. Ac-
cording to the Greek minister at Par
is. Greece opposes the proposal that
he besieged garrisons shall be provi-
stoned during the armistice. and
thinks that the allies ought to have
insisted upon their surrender.
There is no doubt that jealousy eS-
lists between Greece and Bulgaria.
1t is expected that the armistice

morrow. but It is possible it may be

coNSTITUTiONALITY
OF Newspaper Law Argued Orally Be-
fore Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. Oral argument
of the eonstitutionality of the News
paper publicity act was begun. to-
day. before the supreme court of the
United States Robert G. Morris on be-
half of the New York Journal of Com
merce, attaeSed the law as abridging
the freedom OF the press, while Solicitor
General BuIltt defended the act as
merely imposing additional conditions.
under which newspapers may obtain
the second class mail privileges. The
solicitor general will conclude his argu-
ment. tomorrow. when James NJ. Back.
on behalf Of the Lewis Publishing Co..
of New York Will make the final argu-
ment on behalf of the newspapers.
Chief Justice White questioned Mr..
Morris at length several times sug-
costing that the question of the effect
Of the law was one to be addressed to
Congress and not to the courts. In this
connection he said. he had in mind the
oleomargarine case in which anyone
"he looked beyond his face knew that
the object was to prohibit the manu-
faetlre of a product while 1t merely
plIrperted to leXy tax. He also sug
gested an Interpretation that would
permit the Advertisement" section to
stand as a valid act only as to news
papers in the District of Columbia OF
places over which the United States
has exclusive jurisdiction.
