Woman Notary Act Unconstitutional.

Raleigh, May 25 With divid.
ed court, the vote being three to
two, the Supreme Court holds that
the act of the recent Legislature
authorizing the Governor to ap.
point women notaries public is un.
constitutional, the dissenting j1s-
tices Icing Chief J ustice Clark and
Associate Justice Brown
The issue Of tbs constitutionali-
ty of the woman notary act was in
the case of State VS.. Mrs Knight,
from Buncombe, and the controll'
ing opinion for the court, which is
quite exhaustive and lengthy. is
by Associate Justice Allen. Chief
Justice CLARK has a loug dissenting
opinion and there is a very brief
dissent by Judge Brown, who holds
merely that the place of notary
public is not an office to the ex-
tent of preventing the appoint.
ment of woman to the place. In
his opinion for the majority CT the
court Justice Allen holds that
there are five questions involved in
the appeal:
1. Is woman a voter, in North
Carolina?
2. If not a voter, is she eligible
to office?
3, Is the position of notary pub
Inc d public flee?
2. If Sd Office, can the General
affect it's character by
calling it a place of trust and pro.
fis without changing its functions?
5. Has this court the power to
say that the General Assembly ex.
oeeded it's authority and that the
act passed by it is unconstitution.

Washington, May S0-Ger.
many's reply to the American
noe concerning the sinking of tht
Lusitania with loss of more thar
ICO American lives produced 9
feeling of profound disappoint
ment here. Dissatisfaction at the
failure OF Germany to answer the
demands of the United States wal
reflected in government circle,
generally.
1t was generally predicted to-
uight that prompt answer would
te sent to Berlin perhaps within
"a or 48 hours. This is expected
to give the American Govern
ment's underssan ding of the facte,
that the Lusitania was unarmed
and carried no concealed guns,
that she sailed from the United
States peaceful merchantmen
and that under all rue of inber.
national law and humanity, the
vessel should have been visited
and searched aud her passengers
transferred to place of safety,
whether she carried ammunition
or not. American law does not
prohibit ammunition from being
carried on passenger ships. it will
be asserted, but only self-explod.
ing material and liners in the past
have been permitted to carry arms
and ammunition by special ruling
f the State Department on the
meaning Of Federal statutes.
Germany's failure even to dis.
cuss the reparation demanded by
the American note, and evasion
of the request that guarantees be
given to American vessels and
lives be not endangered in the
future are the main points, how.
ever, which the Uuited States
Government, it was generally be.
lieved tonight, would advert to in
the second note The expressions
OF regret and offers of repsraticn
fer unintentional attacks on neu.
trsl ships are expected to have
little weight in determining the
nature of the response of the Unit.
ed States.
When the note of May 13 Was
sent it was pointed out that such
prom ses did not remove the risks
to which American vessels and
lives were subjected, and to sup.
port this contention, the United
States will add, it is said, that
the American steamer Nebraskan
was torpedoed without warning
within the last few days.
Persons close to President Will.

termined to obtain reparatjon for

In German quarters here to-
night it was again reiterated that
the Lusitania was armed.
To oontrovert this, the United
States has proof gathered before
the American note was sent, that
shere were no guns aboard. Fur.
ther the British Government en-
tered into an informal agreement
with the United States early in
the war to see that no British
vessels left American ports
armed. '...
