ATTORNEYS CLOSE
FOR AND AGAINST
In Supreme Court Railroads At
tack Constitutionality Of
the Adamson Law.
RIGHT OF CONGRESS DENIED

Washington, Jan. 9.-The great
legal battle over constitutionality Of
the Adamson law continued in 4 the
supreme court today, with attorneys
for both sides frequently being in
terrogated from the bench by the JUS
tees. The attack OF the railroads
upon the law was practically closed
and tomorrow the government law
yers will make their final arguments
in its defense.
In presenting the railroads case
Walker D. Hines, chief counsel, laid
stress on the argument that the law
is not a constitutional regulation by
congress of interstate commerce, but
merely wage fixing statute. He de-
MED that congress had the right to
fix wages and asserted that there is
no analogy between rate and wage
fixing
Chief Justice White and other JUS
tices frequently interrupted him. JUS
tice Whites questions were appar-
emily designed to draw out argument
regarding the comparative authority
of congress to prescribe wages as we'll
as rates.
Can congress authorize the Inter-
state Commerce commission to fix
railroad wages" asked Justice Day.
Right to Fix Wage Doubtful.
Mr.. Hines replied it was doubtful,
unless wages were abnormally low
and should interfere with transporta-
ton. Asking if the brotherhood wage
contracts were fixed prior to 1918,
Justice Brandeis said:
Shouldn't this court take judicial
notice OF the fact that there has been
a great increase in the cost of living
since these wages were hxed?"
Mr.. Hines answered that the, fact
would not justify the court in hold
ing that evil existed which would
justify congress in exercising
power even If it had that power"
"1f there is no power there can be
no justification for its attempted ex-
ereise," the chief justice observed.
Congress has no power to pre-
scribe wages because they have no
substantial relation to safety and eff
cheney in this case" replied Mr..
Hines.
The direct object was for the ben
eft Of particular cases. he con-
tinued.
ANY effect on public interest is in
cidental.'
Then you argue that this is a reg
ulation of wages and OF private rela-
tons between employers and en-
ployes remote. from service?" asked
Justice Pitney.
1T is a most remote regulation OF
commerce" Mr.. Hines answered. He
added that the law would undoubt-
eddy cause increased rates.

UNIFORM MYSTERY
BATTLES OFFICERS
Government and State Find
Picking Poor in Taking Up
Guards Garments.
TAILoRs INVADE THE FORT

Government and state officers are
meeting with but little, success in
their attempt in taking up the uni
forms and clothing of the soldiers of
the recently returned Fourth Ne
braska regiment al Fort Crook. Just
what has become OF the clothing is
proving great mystery to the Off
GERS. In very few instances have they
been able to obtain many OF the uni
forms, and those taken up are so
worn out that they are usually in
spected and condemned. Few officers,
however. or men seem to be worrying
over the sudden disappearance Of their
clothing.
In the machine gun company,
claimed to be one OF the best QUILTED
organizations in the regiment, officers
were able to take up but FIVE shirts,
three blouses and six pairs OF leg
gings.
Hearing that the soldiers would
have to go home in barrels, a large
number OF tailors and clothing sales
men invaded the post with view of
selling the men proper wearing APP
parel. They met with but seant sue
cess, as the soldiers are fiat broke.
They will not be paid until they are
mustered out on January IS, at which
stime they will receive their pay for
December and the fifteen days Of jan
uary.
Some on Ragged Edge.
That the mastering out OF the men
will be the last Of a number OF com
panies of the Fourth regiment Is the
belief OF many officers. This is due
to the fact that many Of the COM
panies are composed OF men from all
parts of the state and il will be i'm
possible to get them together again
Tor drill purposes.
Discipline has been somewhat re-
Taxed the last three days owing to the
fact that most, OF the paper work.
Of the companies has been completed.
A new order issued allows each COM
pany commander to give one-tcnth |
OF his men leave OF absence during the
day. Formerly no men were allowed
to leave the post from reveille to re-
treat.

"Since the dawn of the day OF par
liamentary government two schools Of
thought have proclaimed two dia,
metrically opposite teachings as to
the duties of presiding officer in a
legislative body. One school has
taught the doctrine that the presiding
authority is, and ought to be, the die
tator of the doings OF the body; that
he should exercise his authority al
ways in the promotion of legislation
pleasing to the monarch of the realm,
to the president of the republic, or to
the combination of interests by whose
grace he holds the gavel. The other
school teaches the doctrine that
presiding officer is, and must only be,
the medium through which the body
governs itself; that he should exrr-
else his authority solely to the end
that equal opportunity be granted to
each member of the body and to each
legislative proposal therein appearing

The list of alleged shady hotels,

wrong doing lodged against the po-
lice. The places listed in the book

brokerage firm with which he operated
was H. Content & Co., III Broadway,
New York.
Chiperfeld then asked a series OF
questions, to show that Lawson began
selling campaign il. December and
asked If his transactions in steel did
not aggregate as much as 100000.
lawson said he had no idea what they
aggregated He, would not give a
direct answer when asked il he had
operated d selling campaign.
Lawson Refuses to Tell.
A third motion to report Lawson
for contempt was entered by the
committee, on demand OF Representa-
tive chiperheld, when Lawson con-
tinued to refuse to tell who gave him
the names Of three men alleged to be
involved in the leak. Lawson, insist
ing that his Informant, a congressman,
had said isthe names should not be
made public because il might be dis
astrous to the nation and the admin
istration.
In answer to question by Repre-
sentative Cantrill, Il in case an inyes-
tigatioh Of the leak were ordered by
the house he would agree to give the
new committee the name OF the mem
Der Of congress he had in mind and
Of the cabinet official whom he said
had been beneficiary Of the leak, Law
son said cmphatieally;
Il will"
Efforts by Mr. Chiperfeld to induce
Lawson ito state the amount OF his
profits on the stock market during
December were futile. Lawson
maintained he did nto know whether
he made Sl,000,000 or 100000.
Answering Mr.. Chiperhcld, Law
son again asserted he had no direct
knowledge through leak Of the
coming OF the presidents peace note,
Hundreds Of Others.
Weren't there others throughout
the country who might have forescen
break in the market as you did,"
Hundreds OF them"
BY process of elimination, Clipper
field then established by questions
that Lawson had no knowledge which
would be accepted in court OF any
broker, including Bernard Baruch,
who was operating on leak OF any
officer OF the government who had
any knowledge OF leak or OF any
member OF either house who operated
on the exchange during December
either on a leak or otherwise.
Representative Chiperheld then
urged Lawson TO give the name OF
the leaker he was reported to have
given to Chairman Henry in conf
dence ten days ago.
Again Lawson refused to answer
on the ground that to make public
the name would result in more seri-
GUS consequences TO the country
than his being punished for refusing
TO answer.
Told in Confidence.
Did you give any name to Chair.

confidence" interrupted Henry.
Did you mention any name to Mr..
Henry as that OF the leaker1' re-
peatcd Chiperheld. g
Il did mott Ns
After persistent demands were
made that he give the name now,
Lawson said:
Il would rather take the conse-
quences than to mention the names
now, There Is another name that
might be mentioned that would pre-
cipitatc even more serious conse-
qucnces. but this is not the time nor
the place"
Representative Cantrill then asked
Lawson, if he would furnish all the
names to special investigating com
Inittee should the rules committee
Recommend and the house order an

Will Furnish Names.
IF there is a drastic investigation
I'm willing under those circumstances
to say that it would be more serious
for me not to give the information |
have than to give it. But | do believe
it is too serious a matter to give be-
fore this committee has determined
what it will do.
You really have no interest in any
investigation about the leak in any
way, have youl" asked Representative
Garrett.
"All on earth you want is an inyes-
tigation OF the Stock exchange that
will lead to federal regulation, is it
noti"
Yves, that's true said Lawson,
arousing the surprise Of some mem
bers OF the committee.
The only motive behind your agita-
ton OF this matter is to force drastic
inquiry into the Stock exchange for
legislative purposes;" Garrett con-
tinued.
Absolutely said Lawson.
And you are common stock
gambler, are you not?" interjected
Representative Harrison.
The same as you are" retorted
Lawson. -.4.
What do you mean by thatI' de-
manded Harrison.
Only that deal in stocks lust as
you or any other citizen seeking in
vestment might do
Leak Not Through Papers.
Il cannot name the cabinet officer
to whom | have referred Lawson
replied to renewed questioning by
Representative Harrison, without
mentioning another official Of
higher position and that would be
more serious than If cast a cloud
over the entire congress and was sent
to Jail myself for fife"
In response to questions by Repre-
sentative Patten, Lawson said he did
not think the leak got into Wall street
through any newspaper man, or from
any printed document. He reiterated
he would disclose his information to
a committee that had power to sum
mon books and papers and conduct
