MORE WAR In THE
DEMOCRATIC CAMP
Especial Correspondence

Washington, D. c., June 29th.-
There is war between the executive
and legislative branches of the Demt
cratic administration.
The Department of Justice has
asked the United States Supreme
Court to declare null and void a stat
ute upon which tine Democratic Con
gress labored for more than six
months to enact into law.
This amazing spectacle has its
origin in the clause of the tariff
act proposing to give five Fer cent
discount on all duties imposed on
merchandise imported in vessels ad
mitted to American registry. Its
history is well known. The Court OF
Customs Appeals recently upheld the
law in a divided opinion. From this
decision the government has appeal
ed.
In its brief asking the Supreme
Court to review the case, the De-
partment of Justice severely criti-
cises Congress for laundering.
''The Congressional purpose of fav-
oring American bottoms is obstruct-
ed by treaty provisions to the con-
trary," declares the argument for a
review, "and Congress was fully adj
vised Of the purport and existence
OF these treaties. If no precise or
ineligible meaning can be given to
the law in question, consistent with
the manifest intention of Congress,
it must be held to be void and of no
effect.
eff the initial clause and the pro-
yiso of the section are irriconcila-
ble," and the government so con-
tends, ''the statute is void. Better
that the words used should be de-
clared inadequate for the purpose in
tended than that Interpretation
should usurp the function of legisla-
.ion"
The Department still further en-
phasizes it's belief that the act of
Congress was absurd by quoting with
approval the Senate committee re-
,ort which rejected the offending
section.
"Your Committee struck out the

ID by the government brief at was

n twenty treaties of the United
states. In our opinion it could have

ountry could have retaliated and

ave been just about where they Il
tarted. We were not only inviting
n endless retaliation, but retalia-
on where our opponents would

etter of it, and in many cases in
nitely the b utter"
Furthermore, the Department of
ustice contends that Congress en-
cted a law either impossible of
or that must be post
oned until treaty relations can be /
lodified so as to permit of it,"
nd urges the court to declare the
,atute imperative.

4,oOo INVITArIoNs ISSUED.
For Harrington Reyburn Wedding in Pequot Chapel on June 3o-Groom Is West Point Graduate.

When Capt. Francis Clark Harring-
 ton was a military attache at the
 White House in the closing days of
 the Taft administration, he first met
 Miss Eleandf Crozier Reyburn, daugh-
 ter of John D. Reyburn, one time
 Gen. William Crozier, Chief of Ord
 nance of the United States army,
 says the New York World. Now 1t
 is announced that Capt. Harrington
 will wed Miss Reyburn June 30. He
 was graduated from West Point in 1909 and is instructor in mathmetics there.
 Capt. Harrington, who to his West
 Point chumbs was always known as
 Pink largely for the reason that he
 groomed man of his class, was never expected to surrender to Cupid. Being a thorough student, it was predicted when he was graduated that he would | be welded only to a bachelor life in the army.
 Harrington thought likewise until he met Miss Reyburn. From that mo- ment the two were almost tnseparable. When the captain was transferred to West Point to take up his duties as an instructor, it was noticed that there was an increase in the bulk of
 mail that left the Academy post office for Washington daily. And the in 1 crease was not credited to bushes of an official character. Miss Reyburn ] was living in the capital city.
 When the engagement became ! known, so many persons wrote or wired congratulations that 1t was 1 found necessary to issue 4,000 invita- lions to the wedding. It will take place in Pequot chapel, New London, Conn, and will be followed by 9. re- ception at Oak Lodge, the summer home of Miss Reyburn's mother, just outside that city, The matron of honor will be Mrs. William s. Reyburn of 1 Washington. D. C., sister-in-law of the bride. The bridesmaids will be Miss 1 Victoria Baker of Bristol, Pa, and the
 Misses Adelaide Heath, Caroline Og- | den-Jones, Katherine McCltntock, Eleanor Morgan, Julia Whiting and l Rebekah Wilner, all of Washington.

to detain the contraband; it follows then that if 1t cannot be accomplished in any other way, the stopping of the supply may In the extreme case be effected by the destruction of the con traband and of the ship carrying it"
 Detension of Vessel Not Allowable.
 "The government of the United States cannot concur in this conclu- sion. On the contrary. it holds that the provisions of this treaty do not authorize the destruction of a neutral vessel in any circumstances By its
 express terms the treaty prohibits even the detention of a neutral vessel carrying contraband if the m aster
 of the vessel is willing to surrender the contraband. Article 13 provides:
 Vessel Should Be Allowed to Proceed.
 'In the case supposed of g. vessel stopped for articles of contraband, If the master of the vessel stopped will deliver out the goods supposed to be of contraband nature, he shall be ad- mitted to do 1t and the vessel shall not in that case be carried into any port, nor further detained, but shall be al- lowed to proceed on her voyage"
 "In this case the admitted facts show that pursuant to orders from the commander of the German cruiser, the master of the Frye undertook to throw overheard the cargo of that vessel, but that before the work of deliver ing out the cargo was finished the vessel with the cargo was sunk by order of the German commander.
 Destruction Not JustifiabIe.
 For these reasons. even if 1t be as-
 sumed as Your Excellency has done l that the cargo was contraband. your l contention that the destruction of the vessel was justified by the provisions | of article 13 does not seem to be well founded. The government of the Uni l ted States has not thought It neces- 1 sary in the discussion of this case to | go into the question of the contraband 1 or non-cOntraband character of the | cargo. The imperial German govern
 ment has admitted that this question
 makes no difference so far as its lia- | bility for damages is concerned and l the result is the same so far as the l justification for the sinking Of the l vessel is concerned. As shown above | if we assume that the cargo was con- l traband the master of the Frye should 1 have been allowed to deliver 1t out and l the vessel should have been allowed tC l proceed on her voyage.
 Asks Reconsideration.
 ''The government of the United 1 States, therefore, suggests that ths imperial German government recon l sider the subject in the light of these 1 considerations and, because of the ob. 1 Ject1ons against resorting to the prize 1 court. the government of the United 1 States renews it's former suggestion 1 that an effort be made to settle this
 claim by direct diplomatic negotia- 1 tionS."

The American note declares that in- Rsnuch as Germany has admitted liz ability for the sinking q the Frye un- der the treaty of 1928, prize court proceedings are unnecessary and not bidning upon the United States.
 No Right to Destroy Ship.
 Aside from the question of how the Indemnity should be paid, the note brings out clearly the refusal of the United States to accept the contention hat Germany has a right to stop the carrying Of contraband by American ships ''by the destruction of the con- Eraband and the ship carrying it.''
 While no mention of submarine warfare was made either in the last German note or the present reply, oc- because of a belief that admission of It now in the future might be used as 8 Justification for submarine attacks on American ships.

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseatiny,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insldes' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli

Of mothers keep this harmless fruit

Heroic Savers Of Life.

If one could behold the scope of the
work of the life-savers in a single
glance he could see that these 1000
men meet at a thousand stations on
dark and lonely shores and exchange
brass checks and bring these brass
checks with them on their return to
their life stations as evidence that
they had patrolled the coast. Never
has one of these faithful servants
failed to come back promptly with the
check of the patrol, unless he was
halted by case of distress and even
then his fellow patrol, unless he was
halted by case of distress and even
then his fellow patrol comes on to
meet him. Scores of men give their
lives to the devouring sea to save life
and millions Of property. There are
now 290 stations on the sea and lake
coasts of the United States. There are
men in the service that have saved
as many as 300 lives and literally ev-

A little later they made their way

standing where she had hitched 1t, but

had gone from the fact that his horse
