the Department of Justices brief in
support of the laws validity. The
law is unworkable, experimental, in
capable of application, interferes with
liberty of contract, does not fall within
Congresses authority to regulate inter-
state commerce and takes railroad
property without due process of law"
The arguments were begun by coun-
sci for the Department of Justice,
which has sole charge of the defense,
the railroad brotherhoods not appear
ing officially. Eight hours for the
hearing was desired by the railroads
counsel, but less was deemed neces-
sary by the federal attorneys. The
usual time given by the court for a
case is three hours.
Washington, Jan. S.-Annulment of
Circuit Judge Hooks decision holding
the Adamson law unconstitutional
and dismissal of the railroads suit was
asked in the brief of the Department
of Justice.
Claim of Constitutionalists
AS the hours of service" act and
also as a wage law the federal brief
contended the law is constitutional,
within the power of Congress to enact
and workable. Inferentially, the brief
argued that compulsory arbitration
legislation such as is under considera-
ton also is constitutional in behalf of
public interests to prevent tie-ups of
transportation facilities.
Practicebility of obeying the law,
the brief asserted. has been admitted
again and again by railroad officials,
particularly in hearings before con-
gressional committees last August and
in conferences with President Wilson.
Admitting however, that a rigid
eight-hour day for train operation is
not completely practicable The federal
attorneys said the Adamson law
should be enforced at least SO far as is
possible.
Two coordinate branches OF the
government have evidenced the opin-
ion that the law Is constitutional" the
brief continued. Certainly this court
will not strike down the law upon
mere prophecies of it's effect"
a separate brief was filed by Frank
Hagerman of Kansas City, Mo-, spe-
cial assistant to the attorney general.
Mr.. Hagerman contended the rail-
roads had previously admitted but
now deny the law is capable of opera
ton,

Adamson Wants Prompt
Action on Railroad Bill

Washington, d. c.. Jan. s.-Repre-
sentative Adamson to-day started ef-
forts to get prompt action by the

hour day. forbidding strikes or lock-
outs without ninety days notice and
to permit the President to take over

gency, such as military necessity or

Senate to complete President Wilson's
railroad program, hearings on which
were set for resumption to-day.
Representative Adamson also was
active to-day seeking action on tho
resolution to continue tho life of the
Newlands committee investigating rail-

"HOME" AT LAST
AT HUNTINGDON
Grinning Youth Doesn't Care
When Court Sends Him to
State Reformatory

That's fine, Judge. For six years
amt had no home, anyway
That's the way Bruce Roy Foster,
to-day smilingly received Additional
Law Judge McCarrell's sentence com
mitting him to the State Reformatory
at Huntingdon.
AS a rule defiance, scowls, sobs and
decree of commitment to the reform
school.
When, figuratively speaking, Judge
McCarrell took the youngster on his
knee and talked with him of the
chance he'd have under tie guardian
ship of the State to learn q trade and
otherwise make something of himself
in the years to come by a sojourn at
the Reformatory, Foster brightly
nodded his approval.
Court Must Have His Joke
Foster was one of half dozen de-
PENDANTS who pleaded guilty to carry
ing concealed deadly weapons. They
included Thomas Brown, Charles
Bowler, Charles e. Savage. JOHN
Burns, Granzo DeFoote and Tony
and six months. The sentencing of
Singleton afforded the court a chance
to get off a brief joke. Singleton had
no counsel so the court was informed.
Singleton, eh?" observed the court.
And ne has no counsel? All, then
he evidently means to go 1t 'single-ly'."
In No. 1 room President Judge
Kunkel conducted the trial of John
Swartz, charged with having GRIMM
ally attacked 15-year-old Sarah G..
Travitz, at her home in Millersburg.
According to Mrs. Travitz, Swartz
never was considered an especial
friend of her daughters. mo, SIR"
said she in answer to District Attorney
Stroups question as to whether Swartz
had ever courted Sarah, "he never 'sot
up with her, If that's what you
mean"
The Question.
The question of the girls age was
fought out by Mr.. Stroup and Sumner
Bowman, Swartz's counsel, and the
latter tried to mix up the girl witness
as to how she really knew her age.
''As a matter of fact" said he, you
don't really know how old you are, do
you? You only know what your
mother has told you?"
How else do any of us know that
fact?" tartly inquired President Judge
Kunkel.

New York, Jan. 30.-As unexpected
ly as Sherman L. Whipple, counsel fol
the house "leak' investigation COM
mittee, brought the name of Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff into the exam
ination Of the German officials friend
Archibald 8. White. the New York
financier, he suddenly closed his di-
rect interrogation OF White today
after obtaining denials from him that
ne had received advaIbce information
from any German official regarding
any OF the recent peace movements.
Having established the close rela-
tionship between White and the ann
bassador yesterday and questioned the
witness closely on alleged efforts OF
Thomas w. Lawson to arrange a
meeting with Won Bernstorn. Whipple
today drew an expectant audience to
the hearing room. Then. with rumors
OF possible sensations flying fast,
Whipple asked White less than a half
dozen questions and turned him over
to the committee for further examin-
alton.
Reading first from testimony previ-
ously taken by the committee in
Washington. Whipple brought out that
details Of the German governments
peace proposals and President Will
sons note were known in German Off
cial headquarters here and in Wash
ington before they were made public
and asked White If he received any
advance information about them
through such channels. White answer
ed negatively.
Have you or have you had any &C.
counts in which persons In official life
were interested?" Whipple asked.
NO." White answered.
Representative Campbell then took
up the examination and tried to get
White to admit that he had Joined
with Lawson In stock market opera
tions based on the topheavy condition
OF the market and the possibility Of
peace.
"Did Lawson suggest to you," ask
ed Campbell, ''that the market was
topheavy and that a suggestion of
peace would start the market down
and that it was q good time TO get all
your friends into pool?"

The dismembered and terribly

, and papers found on his person,
was found on the 500 tracks, six
miles south of Lucca, in. Cass

authorities believe that the man
was attempting to beat his way,
and in some manner fell under the

The remains were shipped to

mo sir" said White.
Putting the question in as many diff
ferent forms, Campbell tried to learn
specifically what White and Lawson
talked about at their various meet
ings in New York at or prior to the
time the peace situation was a big
factor in the stock market. All White
would say was that they talked "in
general terms about the war and its
economic effect"
White denied having advance in
formation on the arrival OF the U-5S.
After it had been brought out that
Whites concern, the Federal Chemi-
cal Co., which he said yesterday he
had tried to get Lawson interested in,
