OPINIONS Delivered
BY SUPREME court
Writ of Certiorani Refused Cramps
ShipbuiIding Company in Patent
Infringement Suit.
IMPORTANT CASES PASSED UP

The Supreme Court devoted only about
forty-five minutes yesterday to delivering
opinions None of the, important cases
before that tribunal was decided
The court, by refusing TO entertain an
appeal from the Supreme Court OF I'LL
nois. in the case OF the Northern Trust
Company as trustee against the State
of Illinois. affirmed the legality of the
Illinois State authorities In imposing an
inheritance tax on stocks held in Cali
fornia corporation by the late james C.
King, a Chicago millionaire, and which
passed to his heirs by his death. The
collection of the tax on these securities
was resisted by the Northern Trust Com
pany, as trustee of the King estate. on
the ground that the securities already
had been subjected to a tax in the State
Of California. The Supreme Court held
yesterday that the Illinois Supreme Court
had final jurisdiction In the matter, and
that court had held that the tax was
properly collected.
In an opinion by Justice Holmes, the
court affirmed the judgment of the Su-
preme Court OF Montana, upholding the
validity of a statute of that State i'm
posing a tax OF l cent pound on oleo-
margarine. The tax was resisted as un-
constitutional because discriminatory, in
that the State imposed no tax on dealers
in butter The Supreme Court held that
the oleomargarine tax had been uniformly
upheld in the past as entirely constitu-
tional.
The Chief Justice announced that the
court had refused a petition of William
Cramp & Sons Shipbuilding Company for
a certiorari to review the judgment of
the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Third circuit finding against the
Cramp firm in suit brought by the In
ternational Curtis Marine Turbine Com
pany, and the Curtis Marine Turbine
Company of the United States, for in
fringement of patents.
The case decided yesterday was one
phase Of a long litigation over the al
alleged infringement by the Cramps Of
the patents, six in number, owned by
the Curtis Turbine Corporations The
Cramps used the turbines in certain tor
pedo boat destroyers built under contract
with the government for the Navy De-
partment The Cramps urged that be-
cause the turbines are displacing the re-
ciprocating type of steam engines in all
the large fast vessels, and in all large
plants where steam is used for produc-
ing electricity. that the courts ought
to recognize the unrestricted right to
build turbines of the type claimed to be
covered by the patents free from the pay
ment of burdensome royalties and other
license restrictions"
But the Supreme Court declined to
grant the writ of certforari.

EUROPEAN WAR CLOUDS
AT LAST DISPELIED
Old Balkan Alliance. 1t Is Said. |. in
Fair Way to Be Rec
osnized.
CREDIT DUE GREEK PREMIER

Special Cable To The washingtou Herald.
Paris. Feb. War clouds which for
more than two years have overhung
Europe finally have been dispelled this
week. Peace and reconciliation are In
the air.
1t is learned on the highest diplomatic
authority that the old Balkan alliance
is in a fair way to be recognized, and
THAT the great powers are entering with
a light heart upon the task of solving
the outstanding problems of the Albanian
frontier and the Aegean Isles.
Already the European financial world
has scented an impending change for
the better in the international outlook,
and In this fact is the key to the secret
of the unlocking of the gold vaults Of
the principal European banks, which has
resulted in sharp advance on all the
exchanges on this side
The dawn Of the peace era Is due prin-
cipally to Venizilos. the Greek premier,
whose visit to all the European govern
ments has produced results of unlocked
for beneficence. His crowning achieve
ment came in fSt- Petersburg this week.
when he succeeded in bringing together
at the same table Pashich. the Servian
statesman, and Gen. Radke Dimftriefi,
and laid the foundations for the new Bal
kan pact which will enable Greece,
Servia, and Bulgaria to wipe out all old
scores and begin afresh-
These three Balkan states have come
around to the idea that the Peninsula
can best be set upon the high road to
progress by all working together har-
moniously.
Bulgaria now is disposed to forget hee
defeat at the hands of Servia. while
Servia also is showing conciliatory
spirit. the basis OF the new alliance be-
ing territorial concessions to Bulgaria
whereby that country will get back some
OF the ground She lost in her second Ill.
starred war Fer this consideration she
will support Servia in any trouble that
may arise with Austria.
With the peace idea so far worked out
there is little apprehension that Turkey
and Greece will fight for possession of
the Aegean Isles. King Charles of
Roumania, who has watched every move
in this quarter with the closest attention,
has come out strongly against such a
war.

ns Garb Is Removed.

Special Cable to The Washington Hcr1h
Odessa. Feb. An extraordinary scene
was witnessed in the Roman Catholic
Church in Petrikofr. Poland. when three
monks sentenced to undergo terms OF
for stealing priceless Jewels
from the image of the Virgin in the
monastery at Yasna Cora were formally
accommodated.
The church was draped in black and
The altar was lighted with black candles.
At the conclusion Of a brief liturgy,
anathema was pronounced. The three
monks, under a police guard. stood clad
in long white penitential cloaks, and at
the end of the service these were roughly
removed. revealing them in convicts' garb
and heavily chained.
They were then removed to prison.
The chief culprit, Damazl Mococh. who
alone showed signs of remorse. piteously
beseeched the prayers of the congrega-
ton.
