the Huns might have lad a trap,

He made a wide circle to the right of

didn't see Padlla. He pointed his
Springfield at the lieutenant and fired,
wounding him in the left shouldet
and then called upon the crew to sur

promptness.
Padilla had three prisoners, one of
them wounded and a machine gun

lieutenant and he came out and took
charge of the prisoners, He per-

On the following day Padilla was

ARGUMENT ENDED
IN TEST Of WIRE
TARIFF: INCREASE
United States Supreme Court
Issues Order Permitting
BurIeSOn to- Temporarily En-
force Increased Rates,

Washington, May 6.-Arguments in
the telephone and telegraph rate cases
involving the authority of the post
master general to increase intrastate
tolls were concluded today in the
supreme court and taken under adj
visement 1t is believed the court Will
render a decision IN the two cases be-
fore entering upon the summer adj
journment next month.
The court, before recessing today
until May 10, issued an order per-
hitting the postmaster general to con-
tinue to charge increased telegraph
rates in Illinois and temporarily stay
cd the carrying into effect of injunc-
tons issued by Federal Judge Lands.
With the conclusion of the hearings
today arguments in all pending cases
closed for the term.
Attorneys representing the states
contended that adequate provisions
had been made by the states for de-
termining the jurisdictions of intra-
state rates. that the Interstate Com
merce commission had authority to
regulate rates although this power
had never been exercised, and that
congress had no intention and no
thought of any one attempting to eX-
ercise the jurisdiction over the wire
properties, the postmaster general is
exercising.
Henry S. Robbins of Chicago. rep
resenting the government, contended
that power conferred upon the presi-
dent to enable him to take over the
resources of the country for the sue
cessful possession of the war and that
he or his agents had ample authority
to fix rates and that congress had no
intention of hampering him in the
operation of these utilities.

For medicinal purposes, roots and
herbs should be gathered when their
medicinal properties are at their best.
For instance, roots of annual plants
should be dug just before their flower

perennial plants after the tops have
dried. All these things are taken into
consideration IN gathering the roots

H. Negotiated
America Not To Form Tic
That Is Not Consistent
with Covenant. Declares
Paris Peace Delegate

PARIS, April 20 BY The Associated
Press. From { nigh source in the
American delegation it was learned to-
day that the American attitude on the
reported alliance between the powers to
guarantee the safety of France against
attack by Germany was that no ALI
ance would be entered into by the
United States that was not consistent
with the spirit of the league of nations
The extent of the guarantee which
the United States and Great Britain
have given to the French continues to
be the foremost topic in the French
press. The French representatives
maintain that the guarantee takes the
form of an alliance. The "Matin"
says:
This alliance has already been
drawn in the form Of very brief text
stlpuiatlng that the three powers will
give each other mutual support if Ger
many attacks US again. The signature
OF the stipulation VIII occur at the
same time as the signing Of the treaty"
The American officials withhold all
comment on these reports 1t is known.
however, that number of proposals
have been brought forward designed TO
give a more prompt and more effective
guarantee of military assistance to the
French than the league of nations at
fords. But none of these proposals
had been accepted up to forty-eight
hours ago.
President Wilson'S contention has
been that the league was enough guar
antee, in lne with his speech before d
plenary session of the conference, when
he said: THAT Is definite guarantee
of peace; 1t IS d definite guarantee by
the world against aggression; it is a
definite guarantee against the thing
which has just brought civilization to
the verge of ruin"
