EARLY DECISION
IS up TO COURT


Kansas City, Mo-, November 24-All
preliminary obstacles to q decision by
the Supreme Court of the United
States on the Adamson law were
wiped out today. The only possible
hitch in the proceedings now lies in
the question whether the highest court
will advance the case and can render
a decision by January 1, when the law
is scheduled to go into effect.
The case of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe and of other railroads which
applies to Judge John c. Pollack, in
the United States District Court at
Kansas City, Kan, were. by agree
inent of counsel for the government
and roalrlods, postponed until after
decision by the Supreme Court
An announcement was made by
Frank Hagerman, special assistant to
the Attorney General, and Walker d.
Hines, chairman of the committee Of
ponements would be requested in all
courts of the country where injunction
suits have been filed.
The case which goes to the upper
tribunal is that of the Missouri, Okla
homa and Gulf railroad, hurriedly
heard here Wednesday by Judge Will
liam c. Hook, who held that the law
was unconstitutional.
An appeal was Immediately taken.

States Right Again

Washington, November GA new
turn to the argument that States
rights would be invaded If the FEEDER
al government had sole power to REQ
ulate and control interstate carriers
was given today before the Joint Con
gressional Committee investigating
transportation probuems, by A. =
Thorn, counsel for the railway eXecu-
! tive's advisory committee.
Mr.. Thorn declared that the vest
ing of such exclusive power in the
hands of a Federal regulating body
instead of invading the rights Of the
States would protect them. He based
his conclusion on many instances in
which the effect of actions by State
Railway Commissions has been seen
to interfere with commerce in neigh
boring States.
Emphasis was laid upon the situa-
ton which has followed the recent In
terstate Commerce Commission order
for a realignment of rates throughout
the Southeast under the long and
short haul clause of the railroad rate
law. The effectiveness of the orders
has been suspended. Mr.. Thorn said,
while the Georgia State Railroad Com
mission has for six months examined
them, and the benefits the commission
expected to extend to that entire sec
ton of the country have been held in
obeyance. He spoke also of the
Shreveport, louisiana, rate case rs
one of the decided by the Interstate
Commerce Commission involving a
clash between the Federal Commission
and the Texas State Commission over
interstate and intrastate rates.
Mr.. Thorn said the frames of the
constitution gave the right to regu-
late commerce among the States 10
Congress because the history of the
colonies showed that unwise, unfair
and even dangerous methods resulted
from attempts to encourage the COM
merce OF individual colonies at the
expense of neighbors.
Speaking of the difficulties of financ-
ing the railroads, Mr.. Thorn dwelt
upon how difficult 1t may be for a
carrier to get mony even when the
markets are favorable If It is neces-
sary to have security Issues passed
upon by one or more State commits
sions.

1918 NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL
CARRYING NEARLY $iOO,OOQ,OOO
MAY BE FIRST UP IN
HOUSE

Washington, November 24--The 1918
naval appropriation bill probably will
be one of the first great supply bills
ready for consideration in the House
when Congress convenes next month,
despite the fact that 1t will carry a
total of nearly $4OO,OOO,OOO.
Rapid progress was made today by
the House Naval subcommittee doing
preliminary work on the measure.
Rear Admiral Griffin, Chief Engineer;
Surgeon General Bruised and Captain
Magruder, in charge Of the naval
militia division, completed foundations
OF estimates in the bill relating to
their bureaus.
Final figures for new ships await q
decision as to the size of the three
battle ships to be included In the pro-
gram. Estimates of cost can not be
completed until 1t is determined
whether they are to be $4,000, $4,000
or 10000 tons displacement.
Admiral Griffin told the committee
that American aeorplane and sub
marine construction were rapidly de-
veloping satisfactory engines He saw
no reason why the performance OF
European craft of both types could not
be equaled. His own bureau, the Ad-
miral said, had about completed plans
for a 500 horsepower aeroplane en-
CINE. The largest now available in the
market is about 200 horsepower. He
also expressed the opinion that Ameri-
can feet submarines would make al
least 20 knots an hour, engine difficult
ties now appearing to have been over
come.
Mare Island Navy Yard (Cal) today
was awarded contracts for two de-
stroyers of the twenty authorized by

. livered within twenty months.

while the new orders to submarine
commanders are respected, but reiter-
ates that any negotiations between

be conditioned on negotiations between
the United States n Great Britain.
me president worked on the pro
posed communication early today, fol-
lowing his conference with Secretary
Lansing last night.
While the German note has averted
for the present at least a break in dip
lomatic relations. it was said today that
the president was not satisfied with the
apparent conditions attached by Ger
many. The United States stands by its
demand that Germany cease her at
lacks on vessels in violation of law,
regardless of negotiations which may
be carried on with Great Britain over
the food blockade.
1t was authoritatively stated that
should another ship carrying American
citizens be sunk by a German subma-
rine in violation of the principles of
international law, diplomatic relations
would be severed just as soon as the
facts were established and without any
further exchange of communication.
In connection with the peace sugges-
IONS in the German note the attention
OF officials was attracted here today
by a passage in a statement given out
in London last night by Lord Robert
Cecil. minister Of war trade, in which
he mentioned the discussion of peace
BY Germany, and added that our atti-
tude, at n rate, is unchanged" This
statement was regarded as meaning
that the allies We're not ready to dis
cuSS peace on Germany's terms.

London. May 9.-The correspondent
at Rotterdam of the Exchange Tele-
graph company cabled the following,
today:
"On the occasion Of the Easter festi-
val, Emperor William sent an auto
graphic letter to Pope Benedict. ex-
pressing the hope that the pontiff, with
the king of Spain, would be able to
construct a scheme with the object
of bringing together, under the auspic-
ious emblem of the dove and olive
branch, a conference of ~belligerents for
consideration of an immediate armis-
tlce, in the fervent hope of securing an
early peace without detriment to the
legitimate aspirations of nationalities."
The correspondent says he obtains
this information from a circula just
issued by the German Humanity league.
The circular also says considerable
significance is attached to the arrival
in Rome Of envoys from the kings of
Bavaria and Saxony, who a pro-
longed audiences with Cardinal Gas
parri, papal secretary of state.
Prince Won Buelow, former German
Imperial chancellor. has been sum-

OF 500 yards two-ounce balls were

This velocity is determined automat-
