companion badly hurt, he walked to

last shortly after being conveyed to
his home. Walter Joseph is badly
burned on the right arm and about

FATE OF COMMERCE
COURT IN BALANCE

Washington, Jan. 6.-Before the SEN
ate committee on appropriations pub
lie hearing was begun today on the ad-
visibility of making provision In the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation for the maintenance of the
commerce court. Leading importers
and shippers from all sections have
been invited to tell the committee what
they think OF the commerce court,
which the Democratic house has Or
dered abolished on March 4, decision
in which the senate during the last
session concurred.
1t is said, however. that sentiment IN
the senate has changed considerably
with relation to this newest judicial
tribunal, and that the vote in the upper
chamber may not be the same as last
session. Friends Of the commerce court
have been doing much missionary work
and are said to have made numerous
converts in the senate. Regardless of
any action the committee on appropria-
lions may take looking to the abolish
ment of the court. its friends promise
a battle royal on the floor Of the SEN
ate. Democratic leaders in the house
declare they will not receda from their
position In absolute opposition to con-
tinuing the court.
