DOWN CHRISTMAS TREES
FOR THE CELEBRATION

London, Dec. 2S.-William lIoh-
cuzolleru has arranged Tor himself a
Christmas celebration after the ira
ditional German style, so lar as the
circumstances will permit, according
to a dispatch to the Daily Express
from Amsterdam today. The ar
raugcmcuts by the cN-cmpcrorS in
>iStcncc, will include elaborate rcli-
giouS ceremonies on Christmas Eve
The idea OF using the village chapel
ior these, however, has proved i'm
practicable for various reasons, one
OF them being the fear OF possible
hostile demonstrations The ser
vices, accordingly, will be held in
the drawing room OF Amerongeu
Castle, which will be converted into
a chapel.
The eN-cmpcror desired to have
the court chaplain, DR.. Ernest Won
Dryaudcr. come from Berlin to
preach the sermon at the Christmas
Eve ceremony; but the Berlin gov
crnmcnt, says the dispatch, has re
fused permission for the chaplain
to go to Holland. The service CON
sequently will be conducted by a
German missionary from IeSit, near
Amerongcu, but the Herr llohcn-
zollcrn himself will deliver the ser
mon.

that it should not commit suicide,

Washington, Dec. .. - lniunc-
tionS granted the Associated Press
to stop pirating OF news by the In
tcrnational News Service (TIearst's)
were sustained today by the SUI
prcme court of the United States.
As between the public and news
gathering organizations, Justice Pit
ney expressed doubt whether there
could be any property in uncopy-
rightcd news. AS between rival news
gathering organizations, he said,
there was a quasi-property interest.
Referring to contentious of the
international News Service that the
Associated Press was guilty of the
same practices charged against the
defendants Justice Ptncy said that
there is nothing in the proceedings
that puts the Associated Press in
the position of having "unclean
hands
The court declared the processes
used by the International News
Service in taking Associated Press
news amounted to IAN unauthorized
interference with the normal opera
tion OF complainants' legitimate bus
mess
Justice Holmes in an associate
opinion, said he partially agreed
with the majority but dissented
from the principle that there was
property in news. Justice Pitney
announced that Justice Clarke took
no part in the proceedings.
The transaction speaks for ia
self and a court OF equity ought not
to hesitate long in characterizing
it as unfair competition in business"
Justice Pitney said discussing the
taking of Associated Press News
matter by the International News
Service.
Hearst Contention Untenable.
The international New, Service
contention that the Associated Press
relinquishcs its property rights to
news-matter when it is published,
the court held is untenable."
Justice Holmes, who was joined
in his associate opinion by Justice
Mckenna. said the Associated Press
was justified in having an injunction
against news piracy for Il certain
number OF hours unless competitors
publishing news in the interim cred
tied it to the Associated Pres.
Restraining orders preventing the
international News Service from
inducing persons to communicate to
it Associated Press news in advance
OF publication or persuading mem
bers OF the Associated Press to vio-
late that organizations bylaws were
upheld.
The supreme court affirmed de
crees of the circuit court of appeals
the defendant from taking
for the purpose of selling to its own
customers news appearing on bul
letin boards or in early editions OF
Associated Press papers.
