BERLIN.-Berlin faces a winter

Iquent freezing conditions, lack of
electricity, gas, and lighting, and in
addition a shortage of dwellings.
Up to now the government has in
most cases contented itself with APP
'pealing to house owners who have
more than enough rooms to volun-
teer some space to those without
shelter. The replies have been ex-
ceedingly few, and those in power

of certain houses.

BUSY SESSION.

Because of the announced inten-
ton of the Government to push
prosecution of antitrust cases held
in allegiance during the war. the
present session of the supreme
court is expected to prove one of
the most important in the history of
the court.
The cases pending include those
against the alleged Anthracite coal
trust, the United States Steel cor
poration, the Eastman Kodak COM
pany, the Associated Biilposters and
Distributors of the United States
and Canada, the American Can COM
pany. the Quaker Oats company,
and also the Southern Pacific mer-
ger case.
Arguments in pending cases will
begin at once, with the coal case
the first to be heard. The steel case
probably will be the second to be
argued. Others will be argued at
intervals. but under an agreement
between the Government and the
Quaker Oats company that case will
not be heard until January.
General public interest attaches
to another case before the court,
that Of the right of breweries to
continue the manufacture of beer
containing PTS percent of alcohol.
Appeals from lower court DEGREES at
Baltimore and New Orleans already
have been filed.
A case of Importance To business
interests is the Macomber stock div
idend proceedings. which involve the
constitutionality of the provisions of
the 1916 income tax act taxing
stock dividends as income.
Although the supreme court at its
last term upheld the constitutional
ty of the espionage act, a large
number of appeals are still pending
in cases growing out Of convictions
under that law. Among these is
the case of James Peterson, candi-
date for the Republican nomination
in opposition to Senator Nelson, of
Minnesota. in 1918, and who was
sentenced to four years imprison-
ment because Of newspaper articles
he wrote, The appeal of Victor
Berger, epresentative-elect from
Wisconsin, from conviction under
the law also is pending.
James D. Maher, clerk of the
court. announces, that the number
oI appears h!eu This Term IS 10
less than during the last term.
While there is no explanation of this
decrease in the number of appeals,
Mr.. Maher said he believed it was
due to the fact that lawyers gen.
orally are becoming more inclined
not to appeal cases of only minor
Importance.
