LAWYERS PLAN FIGHT

Horwitz and Gordon VIII Attack
Ruling Limiting Municipal
Court Powers

The recent decision OF Judge Davis, which
has taken women accused of disorderly
conduct from the jurisdiction of the mis-
demeantnt's division of the Municipal
Court to that of the city magistrates is to
be attacked in the Superior Court by
George Quintard Horwitz and former Judge
James Gay Gordon, who will appeal from
the decision of Judge Davis
Judge Davis provided for the continual
tion of the system under which shyster law
yers and INSCRIPTIONS politicians have be-
come rich through the blood money earn
ings of women. The plan of the Municipal
Court has been to attempt the reformation
of the fallen women; under the magistrate
system the women assisted by cheap law
yers. are usually released after payment of
blood money" fine.
Mr. Horwitz said yesterday that the
argument against the Davis decision will
be based principally on the wording of the
act of June II, 1915, which, he contends,
repeals an act of 1871 establishing the
House of Correction upon which Judge
Davis based his decision

BILL FOR PROTECTION
OF AMERICAN EXPORT
TRADE TO BE PUSHED
Chairman Webb, of House Ju-
dietary Committee, Urges It's
Necessity as Offset to
Foreign Competition
PERMITS COMBINATIONS

WASHINGTON Aug. 24.-The first of
the legislative measures designed to pro-
tect American exporters against European
competition at the end of the present war
will he pressed for passage tomorrow in
the House, by Representative Webb of
North Carolina chairman of the Committee
on Judiciary. This measure, known as the
Webb export trade bill, permits the for
nation of common selling agencies for the
foreign trade of the United States, at the
same time placing such associations beyond
the operation of the Sherman antitrust law
law.
Chairman Webb Is prepared to combat
every effort to sdetrack his proposition at
the session now drawing to "A close.
The necessity for this legislation" said
Mr. Webb today, rests largely upon the
doubt that exists in the minds of our ex-
porters to the correct construction that
should be placed upon existing antitrust
laws as applied to organizations engaged
in export trade. In order that this country
may hold the foreign trade which has been
acquired during the European war, and
successfully meet the competition that will
be offered when the war is over, our eX-
porters must be in a position to compete
in the cheapest and most effectual manner.
I'VE are informed that the combinations
of British coal brokers fix the contract
price for bunkering ships at Newport News,
and by these methods the contract price has
been fixed at five to seven cents per ton
below the domestic price. In the same way
the copper trade of tho world has been
ruled by a vast German metal-buying or
ganization, which has subsidiaries and
affiliated companies in all the leading
nations, and through its operations for a
number of years has bought millions of tons
of American copper at prices averaging
nearly a cent pound below the price paid
by American consumers
The bill is drawn so as to leave in full
force our antitrust laws as applied 10 our
own markets and as affecting different
American exporters in their dealings with
each other Export trade, by force of the
methods adopted by other leading nations
is largely a matter of competition between
natons. Our home market is TO be deter
mined by competition between the several
producers and manufacturers"

BRITISH HEAR OF NEW
GERMAN TERROR OF AIR

LONDON. Aug. 24.-In speech deliy-
cred at Bury st. Edmunds. Baron Mon
tagu, of Beauleu former vice chairman Of
the Joint Naval and Military Board, told
of new monster super-Zeppelins which Ger
many is building,
I'VE have obtained some details Of the
super-Zeppelins which Germany is now
building" said Baron Montagu. The prin-
cipal features of the craft are a capacity
of 2,OO0, goo cubic feet length of 7s0 feet,
a beam OF 80 feet, maximum speed of 80
miles an hour, cruising speed of 35 miles
an hour and a radius of action of 5000
miles. The engines, six or seven of them,
have a total of $4,000 horsepower
The airships can carry a load Of bombs
os five tons They are able to ascend 1900
feet, They are armed with machine guns
at bow and stern and on top of the en-
Yelope They carry a crew of 35 men.
These particulars show how largely the
Germans are relying on Zeppelins as
means for harassing us. Two of these new
craft have already been completed and four
will be available In October"

day at the home of his sister, DR. Jennie S.

Maryland in the class of 1888. His first
years of practice were spent in southern

PENROSE CONTINUES
WAR ON REVENUE BILL
Demands Stronger Retaliation
Against Foreign Boycott of
American Commerce

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator PEN
rose, of Pennsylvania, took up his cudgel
and renewed his assault on the Adminstra.
tion emergency revenue bill when the Sen.
ate reconvened today. He continued his
plea for more drastic legislation against
dumping and for stronger retaliation
against foreign combinations to boycott
American commerce.
Although n number Of Democratic Sen
ators are in revolt against certain provi.
sions of the revenue bill, the Democratic
side will present a solid front in voting
down the Penrose resolution to recommit
the bill.
Several more set tariff speeches are to he
made on the revenue bill, and indications
are that the Senate will not be able to
begin voting on amendments before tomor
row. Senator Simmons, chairman of the
Finance Committee in charge of the meas
ure, still predicted it's passage before Sat
urday evening, thus insuring adjournment
next week.
