Washington, December 4-The supreme court today sustained the decision of the Alabama supreme court, upholding as constitutional an Alabama law imposing domestic corporations. The decision given by Justice Day, was in the suit of the Kansas City, Mempis and Birming- ham railroad. which contended that the law was discriminatory in favor of out side corporations and burdens interstate commerce.
 In it's bill the railroad set forth that
 it was merger of Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi corporations with over s5,Ooo,oo0 capital stock, of which less than half was employed in intra state com merce
 Alabama's supreme court in 1915 upheld the law, declaring that it merely taxed some" corporations, foreign corpors- tions being taxed only upon the capital actually employed in Alabama. The taxes are graduated according to the cor- rorations capitalization.
 Much other litigation and tax resources of Alabama were said to depend upon today's decision, the case having been advanced by the supreme court and sub mitted last October. The railroads suit was brought in 1914 in the city court, at Birmingham to recover alleged excess of $500 in taxes paid under protest for 1912 and 1913

Premier Asquih nply announced King George had approved his proposal for reconstruction of the government which was forced by the de- mand of War Secretary Lloyd-George and other ministers for a smaller war council with powers independent of the cabinet. The premier suggested that the house adjourn after today's business until Thursday
 A statement made by Sir James Henry Dalziel that the resignations of all the ministers have been handed to the pre- mier was not denied This was taken as an indication that details of the recon struction had not yet been agreed upon. and that further significant negotiations were necessary.

ECHO OF FRANK CASE

Washington, December 4-Constitu- tionality of an Atlanta ordinance re- quiring the licensing of private detec- tives, under which Dan s. Lehon of New Orleans. southern manager for convicted while aiding Leo M. Frank s defense, was sustained today by the supreme court Lehon was fined $100 with an alternative of 30 days i'm prisonment and the supreme court up held the ruling of the Georgia courts.
 Lehon attacked the ordinance as un- constitutional. holding hat in practi- cal operation only citizens of Georgia could secure approval of licenses and that therefore, the ordinance discrim- mates against citizens of other states.
 Denial to both himself and Frank of constitutional. holding that in practi by Lehon. While Investigating alleged illegal and criminal acts" of the At lanta police in their securing of evil dence against the murderer of Mary Fagin, Lehon contended that it would have been absurd and denial of Franks rights to have him, Frank s agent under control of the prosecu ton, which controlled the licensing of private detectives under the ordi- nance.
 The Georgia courts held that the Atlanta law does not conflict with state or. federal constitutions; that ths city could thus prevent interference with its police department and that

 The armies of the Teu- tonic allies, fighting in southwestern Rumania with Bucharest their main object i've, have joined hands from the Danube in the south to the northwest of Bucharest, where, coming from the mountainous region, they have reached the town of Tergovistea. Berlin an- mounces that the battle of the Argechu river has come to a final conclusion with the Teutonic allies the vic tors and that all along the front they are drawing closer their net toward Bucharest.
 With the capture of Tergovistea, and farther south the driving of the Rumanians beyond the railroad june tion town of Titu, the forces of the central powers now hold intact all the railway lines running into Bucha- rest from the west. The Predeal Pass line, running north from the capital into Pennsylvania, is the sole remain ing railway connection in western Wallachia partly in Rumanian hands, and with the Teutons now nearly astride this line at Breza and rapidly advancing, this route seems likely to be taken from them.
 TWELVE MILES FROM CAPITAL
 To the south and southwest of Bucha- rest the forces of Field Marshal Won Mackensen that crossed the Danube have inflicted heavy defeat on the Rumanians and captured the town of Gradichte, F miles from the capital.
 Tn this fighting, according to Berlin, the Rumanian army suffered sangdinary casualties and on Sunday lost more than 5000 men made prisoner, and 8 cannon Near Titu 13 locomotives and much roll ing stock fell into the hands of the Teu- tons In Dobrudja and in the northwest along the Bukowina and Transylvanian fronts violent fighting is in progress. Ac- cordng to Sofia the Bulgarians repulsed heavy Russian attacks. Berlin admits slight progress in the northwest by the Russians north and south of the Trotus. In the Carpathians south of Japlonitza the Russians captured another height.

OFFICERS AND MEN PLEASED

Montgomery, December 4.-(Special) Alabamas First Cavalry regiment will move to El Paso, Tex, during the next few days, probably the latter part of the week or early part of next week. Or ders were received Monday by the regi- mental quartermaster from the depart ment of the east to make all prepara- tions for transportation to Ell Paso. The department did not indicate when the troops would be ordered from Mont gomery, but the instructions always pre- cede an official order to move by short time.
 Officers and enlisted men of the regi- mcnt are happy that they are to do their work and receive their instructions at Fl Paso. They prefer that point to any on the Mexican border. "Of course, we are delighted that we are to go to the Texas city, said Lieutenant Col onel Bibb Graves when the instructions were received Preparations for the trip will be made at once. Supplies will be issued for use on the journey and ar of the troop trains. It is probable the regiment VIII lTdNel III three SectlOHS, one battalion of four troops to each sec tion.
 When the cavalry reaches Ei Paso. Alabama will have troops at three points on the border. Batteries A and of Birmingham are stationed at Douglas, Ariz., while the three infantry regiments, signal company and hospital corps are at Nogales, Ariz. lndicatiens are that Alabama's soldiers-about 5000 men-wil be kept on the border throughout the winter. Letters received from officers with the troops say officers of the regu- lar army have stopped all gossip about an early return to Alabama by threaten ing to send the men on a six weeks hike. The course of instructions for the artillery and infantrymen will not be completed until the latter part of Decem- Der and there is no hope that the sol diers can eat their Christmas dinner with their friends and families in this state.
 Officers of the cavalry regiment and the state military department daily are expecting orders for the regiment to en- train. About five days will be necessary in making preparations after the war department issues the order.
