Continued from First Pagc.l
pear in the present case" "It would
hardly be continued" says the court
that if he took possession of private
property under what is called his
war powers and used it for other
than war purposes he was acting
within his constitutional powers,
and it would seem therefore if he
attempts to use the defendants tele-
phonc system for a purpose which
has no relation to the NATIONAL Sc
curity and if he may not, as Presi-
dent, because of his office, be sub
Jected to injunction or to the process
or the courts for so doing, still there
is no reason why those who assist
him and are within the jurisdiction
of the courts should not be prevent
ed so far as they are amenable to
judicial process"
Judge Junkel says he recognizes
that there might be many cases in
which court of equity would refuse
to interfere with the Presidents war
power because more harm than good
might result but this does not aDpear
TO apply in this instance.
Way Was Open
1t may be suggested the court saws
that 1t is the duty of the President in
control to attempt to avoid loss to
the companies but he holds that in
absence of facts and findings it must
be presumed that the rates and
schedules formally and legally ap-
proved by the Public Service Com
mission are fair and reasonable. "If
they were not" he adds, there is
no doubt that on applying to it the
commission would have afforded
ample relief"
After going deeply into the reso-
lutlon granting authority for the
Federal control of the lines the court
says that 1T is quite clear that the
resolution did not contemplate an
interference with the rates and tolls
III force at the time it was passed. -
1t follows. Judge Kunkel holds.
that the President and the Postmas-
Ter General were not acting within
the scope of their authority and
therefore not officially when they
arbitrarily changed the rates. at
VIII hardly be questioned" he con-
cludes, that the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania has not the power to
enforce its own statutes, and to pre-
vent their violation; or that this
court has local Jurisdiction to en-
tertain the present bill for the pur-
pose of preventing the violation of
the order of the Public Service Com
mission" "and we think
anyone who undertakes to disobey the
order should show such a state of
facts as plainly justifles his action.
For the considerations which we
feel are developed only in part. we
are induced to continue this injunc-
ton until final hearing. when the
facts of the case may be fully shown
and the questions which have been
raised may be more thoroughly dis
cussed and considered. Accordingly
the motion to continue is sustained.

OVERSEAS CAVALRY POPULAR

That there will be u great rush to
fill the few vacancies in the over
seas cavalry is the belief of Major
w. f. Shipp, of the army recruiting
station. himself a cavalry officer.
There are only four cavalry regi-
ments oVerseas-the Second, Third.
Sixth and Fifteenth-and there will
probably be less than 1000 vacan-
cies to be filled. Cavalrymen have
always felt that their branch of the
service was the most attractive, and
the members of those cavalry units
which were transferred to other
branches of the service during the
war were bitterly disappointed. In
the Regular Army the cavalry has
often been above peace strength and
regulations limiting the number of
men accepted have frequently been
made. 1t will not be surprising if
the few vacancies in the cavalry will
be filled this month, as there are
many men who believe the old say
ing: "Once a Cavalryman, always
a Cavalryman." and are eager to be
if they can serve overseas. Among
those recently accepted for the cav
airy at the local recruiting station
are: Edgar j.. Nicholas, William
Ianey, William A. Minnier. Howard
w. Apjohn, Albert j. .Boyles, NAL
