 Better

Washington, June 21--Machinery for en- draft will be complete in every detail by July 1, two months before the tentative date considered for calling the first of the troops to the colors. Regulations for the exemption process will be made public shortly.
 Brigadier General Crowder, the provost marshal general, who worked out the plans for both registration and selection, foresees no more complications with the selection and exemption machinery than was experienced with registration. Sec retary Baker and his advisers repeatedly have given assurance that the selection system will be so fair that there would

the public, a making known of some thing to them for purpose. It follows that the crucial inquiry is as to that pur- pose-is it lawful?
 COPYRIGHT ASSUMED
 We have assumed the newspaper first printing to be copyrighted and no doubt it's publication of it's early edition was a copyright, abandon nor destroy what 1t did not own; and it did not own plain tiff's property in the news, nor that of it's own fellow memb CTS in California. It did own the right to print in New York, but we discover no magic in the word publication which takes away or ter inmates the rights of others.
 Plaintiffs s purpose in furnishing the e.. gD New York paper with news was to have a use made of it. not inconsistent with its own reasonable reward for it's labor from it's property and that of all the other members of plaintiff. That measure of use and reward is lawful; de- fendant deprves plaintiff thereof and can show no equities; therefore, defendant should be enjoined.
 If defendant takes what some one else owns and sells it as of right, in rivalry with the owner, such competition is more than unfair; 1t is patently unlawful, and the wider term comprises the narrower. But, laying aside the right of property
  business method of selling in competition with plaintiff and it's members some thing falsely represented as gathered by defendants otherwise than from bulle- tins and early editions Is unfair, because it is parasitic and untrue. It is immoral and that Is usually unfair to someone.
 INVASION OF RIGHTS
 ITO commercially distribute news not gathered by the sender is under the facts shown here an invasion of property rights; to send 1t out as one's own labor is marked by that dolus which is fraud. and that is the basis of the doctrine of unfair competition in its wide sense.
 Since (to summarize the matteD any bodily taking for sale of plaintiffs news, without other labor than the perception thereof, before the reasonable reward of was secured as above indicated was an unlawful invasion of property rights; and any sale thereof in competi- tion with plaintiff under pretense of in- dvidusl gathering thereof was tort Of the nature of unfair competition, the plaintiffs motion for injunction should have been granted substantially as made
 ''The order appealed from is modified, as indicated, and the clause remanded with directions to issue injunctions against any bodily taking of the words or sub stance of plaintiffs news until it's com value as news has in the opinion of the district court passed away. The exact form of words to be used. and the insertion or omission of a definite time limit on copying and sale will be settled in the court below in any manner not in- consistent with this opinion. One bill of costs in this court to plaintiff"

That no delay will be made in the construction of the new edifice for the Bank of Ensley was evidenced by the fact that s. H. Looney of the Ensley company commenced tearing down the fence that surrounds the ancient and historic structure on the site of the new building.

CASES QUOTED


 After quoting number of cases .ued:
 Assuming now the existence at sometime of some property right in plaintiff and to its news, the Quali- ties producing exchangeable value, may be noted. Regularity and reliability the fruit of organization and eXpendi- ture, are of course necessary, but all that is vain unless the news if fresh early, and if not always first in point of time, as prompt as any. Time is of the essence; and the basic question on this branch of the discussion, is how long does the property quality en- dure in news?
 "(4, c, d. e) Plaintiff Is a member ship corporation, its members cooper ate in news gathering, and each has in his own locality several right to and ownership in the results of plaintiff $ labors. viz: the news The rights of members whether printing in Duluth or Galveston. New York or San Fan cisco, are equal, and the aggregate of their rights is the plaintiffs right. If it be admitted that plaintiffs right of property in it's news once existed, such existence was for the benefit of all its members, who, however (ow- ing to the earths method of rotation) cannot simultaneously exercise, thelr several rights. Yet all exercise them at the same hour of their several q

NOT CERTAIN OF FACT

"When one copies a statement from a bulletin. he cannot assert himself to be possessed of any cartain fact than that of his own appropriations; the only fact he knows is that the bull letin maker made an assertion-but he has taken the news, because that is what the bulletin proclaimed, if it's maker was skillful in his business.
 "(3, b) Whether there Is or can be any property in facts per SC, any more than there Is In ideas or mental con- cepts. is metaphysical query that can be laid aside, for there is no doubt either on reason or authority that there is a property right in news cap able of and entitled to legal protec- tion.
 Property, nomen generalissimum, covers everything that has an ex- chargable value. That news possesses the quality stated, seems obvious enough when it is observed that de- fendant takes it. in order to exchange it against dollars"

Objection to Draft CT Aliens.

Objections that the drafting Of aliens
in this country would work to the dis
advantage of Americans abroad, would
not seem to be well taken. Should Italian
subjects, for instance, by agreement with
Italy, be drafted here FOR this war, Mr.
Nittorlo Oriandini, il Boston lawyer, fears
that if Italy should engage in another war
the precedent might make it disagree
able for Americans sojoulnlng in that
country
1t would not appear difficult, however,
for the United States and Italy, or the
United states and any other Of her allies,
to stipulate that any agreement by which
either country would be authorized to
draft subjects Of the other should expire
at the close Of the war. That seems ample
enough
Under such arrangements the plight OF
Americans of military age now abroad
