Court Puts Lid Down
on Pullman SleeperS
Iron Tho Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. June 2l.-The Pullman
Company has the right to pull down
the upper berth over ones head, cut
ting off ones air space and preventing
one from kicking in ones sleep, even
in the State Of Wisconsin. This was the
ruling of the Supreme Court OF the
United States to-day. when 1t knocked
out as unconstitutional the Wisconsin
law which. provided that unless an up
per berth was sold the porters should
not make il up over the head OF the
man who bought the lower.
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court by the Chicago. Milwaukee q
st. Paul Railroad. which was fined sou
because its employees insisted on max
ing UP an upper berth which had not
been sold. despite the protests OF the
passenger who had the lower berth
The Supreme Court held that the law
violated the company's constitutional
rights in that il took property without
due process of law. The court said IL
had been proved that the health of the
passenger in the lower berth was not
injured by lowering the upper above
him.
Justice Lamar added that there was
evidence TO show that the law inter-
fered with interstate commerce in that
il was an inconvenience for a man or
woman 10 have the upper made up
after he or she had got into the lower.
Justices Mckenna and Holmes dis
scented.

Will Review 5 Per Cent
Tariff Rebate Clause
From The Tribuns Bureau. J

Washington, June 21.-Treasury Of
ficials in particular and friends Of the
administration in general sighed with
relief to-day when the Supreme Court
decided to review the decision in the 3
per cent duty rebate case. This law,
which provides that goods imported in
American bottoms shall be taxed D per
cent less than other goods imported
under the Underwood-Simm tariff
bill, had been so construed by the Gus
toms Court of Appeals that the an
nual loss would be from S15,000,000 to
s20,000,000, while immediate payments
of 100000 would have to be made
to those importers who had been
forced to pay full duties.
The Customs Court decided that not
only goods imported in American bot
toms were entitled to this rebate, but
all goods imported in vessels flying the
flags of those nations with which the
United States had treaties containing
the favored nation clause.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
will at least block the return OF the
money collected by the customs officers
until the case is finally decided, and
thus prevent the Treasury paying out
s15,000,00 at once. Treasury officials
hope that the Supreme Court will hold
the rebate clause unconstitutional,
sustaining the stand OF Secretary Nc
Adoo.

of the conditions Of the grant until
Congress has reasonable time to act.
Justice McKenna, for the court, held
the governments position in claiming
the conditions to the grant about sale
were conditions for which violation
worked forfeiture was untenable. The
court held the conditions were in the
nature of "enforcible covenants" He
said Congress would have six months
for action in the case.
The constitutionality Of the Illinois
pure food law, prohibiting, in effect,
sale of food preservative containing
boric acid, was also upheld by the
court.
Justice Hughes, rendering the de-
cision, held that the validiAy of the
law must be upheld unless the defend
ants showed there was no doubt about
boric acid being wholesome. The court
held he had failed to do so.
The case of New York shippers, ask
ing treble damages for alleged viola
ton Of the Sherman antitrust law by
South African steamship lines, was re-
stored to the docket for another argu-
ment.
A Judgment Of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court for $4,000, as treble
damages under q state law, in favor of
the Clark Brothers Coal Mining Com
pany against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, for discrimination in car distri-
button, before the passage of the Hep
burn rate law, was set aside.

MAYOR SEEKS ADVICE
ON WOMAN JUSTICES
Mrs. Baright, Who Made Bid for
Special Sessions Bench,
Must Await Report.

Is there any legal prohibition that
would prevent a woman sitting as a
justice of the Court of Special SEES
sions? That question has been put to
William Beers Crowell. the Mayors
legal adviser. on the application of
Mrs. Clsrice Margoles Baright for an
appointment to the Special Sessions
bench.
Until he receives an opinion the
Mayor will not take under considera-
tion the application. That he has no
prejudice against women in public life
was shown by his appointment of Miss
Katharine B. Davis as Commissioner
of Correction. She WAS the first
woman ever in the Mayors cabinet in
this city.
At present there is no vacancy in
the Court of Special Sessions in Man
haitian. where Mrs. Baright lives. al
though the Mayor must fill the place Of
Justice Howard Forker. who died in
Brooklyn some time ago. However.
the Board of Estimate has already
taken action toward establishing an
additional justiceship in Manhattan
under the recently enacted inferior
courts law. The Board of Aldermen
will consider the proposition to-day.
The Mayor must designate the FIVE
members of the court TO sit as jus
tees of the Children's Court from the
regular members. They are not addi-
tional appointments under the law.

Rehearing of Harvester
Trust Suit Is Ordered
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, June 21.-Instead OF
handing down its decision on the Har-
vester Trust dissolution suit to-day, as
had been expected, because this was
the last day before the adjournment
until next October, the Supreme Court
ordered that the case be argued again.
This means that the argument will not
be heard until next fall, and the de-
cision may not be handed down before
Christmas.
Neither the government nor the COM
pany had asked rehearing. The
courts action was a complete surprise
to attorneys for both sides, and was
announced without explanation.
In some quarters it was inferred that
the court stands very close on the case
and desires reargument for its own
benefit, or that, in view of the prime
Importance of the case to the interpre-
tation of the Sherman law in new
lights, a reargument has been ordered
in the hope of getting a unanimous de-
cision. That was the situation in the
Standard Oil litigation.
At the Department Of Justice the
disappointment over the failure to
hand down a decision was apparent. 1t
had been confidently believed that the
case had been fought out and won and
that the decision of the lower court
would be sustained by the Supreme
Court, thereby ordering that the Inter-
national Harvester Company be dis
solved as an illegal combination.
Attorney General Gregory expressed
the view recently that the usefulness
of the Sherman law in future regula-
ton of business depended largely on
the attitude of the Supreme Court in
the Harvester case. Pending a decision,
it was said tonight, the Department Of
Justice probably will not institute any
important antitrust case.

WILSON AND HOUSE
WILL CONFER HERE
Thursdays Meeting in New York
Expected to Bear on Inter-
national Situation.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

From Inc lrlDune BufesuI
Washington, June 21.-President Will
son will have his first conference with
Colonel z. NJ. House in New York on
Thursday, when it is expected Colonel
House will tell the President many
things touching on the international
situation which he learned while
abroad. The President plans to arrive
in New York early Thursday morning,
when Colonel House will meet him.
The President will leave for Cor
nish, N. H., where his summer home is,
on the midnight train Thursday night
from the Grand Central Station, New
York, arriving in Cornish Friday morn
Ing. He intends to stay there until
July 6 unless the international situa-
ton should become so grave as to re-
quire his presence here. ., wv,
The meeting between President WI
son and Colonel House is expected TO
have an important bearing on interna-
tional affairs. When Colonel House
left this country three months ago II
was for the purpose OF looking into
relief work abroad. His activities were
rot necessarily confined to this sphere,
however. 1t is understood that he dis
cussed the possibility of peace in the
near future with prominent officials
abroad.
As Colonel House is one of the COM
paratively few men in whose judgment
and advice the President has implicit
confidence, the conference will be most
important.

Gen. Angeles on Peace
Mission to Wilson
TBv Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

FL Paso, Tex, June 21.-Carrying out
the plan he has had in view for nearly
year, General Francisco Villa has
sent General Felipe Angeles to Wash
ington TO feel the temper Of the Amer
lean government in the event Angeles
should be proclaimed Provisional Presi-
dent of Mexico, with the support OF
Villa and Zapata to maintain his gov
eminent.
General Angeles came TO the border
without the knowledge Of Villa officials
in Juarez. he was detained there by
officials, who thought he had quarrelled
with Villa and was making his way TO
the American side TO join the Cientif-
cos. General Villa was communicated
with by General 0rnelas, the Juarez
commander. Quickly came the reply
from General Villa: General Angeles
immediate freedom and extend TO him
every courtesy betting his high rank"
On the American side there is an
order that no military commander from
Mexico may cross the border. General
Angeles came under the ban. Ano2ier
message to Villa, and reply identical
with the one sent TO JuareZ was re-
ceived.
Ostensibly General Angeles's mission
is one purely for peace in Mexico, but
of far more reaching import just now
is the personal message he is reported
to be carrying 10 President Wilson
from General Villa. That message has
TO do with recognition by the American
government Of the government of villa
and Angeles.
Using the United States naval wire
less 10 convey his message OF death:
General Francisco Villa to-day ordered
the execution Of all soldiers who were
responsible for the deaths of four
British subjects at Tuxpam. The mes
sage was directed to Generals Pelez and
GuillermRn, Villa commanders at Tux
pam, and ordered them TO cause the
punishment of those responsible for
the deaths of two Englishmsn, and an
English woman and the womah's child.
General Pablo Gonzales and his Car
rama army began TO force their way
into Mexico City this afternoon, &C
cording TO a dispatch tonight from
Vera Cruz 10 the local Constitutionalist
agency, which said Gonzales halted his
command in the eastern suburbs while
sending his left wing around TO the
