RATES AND CONGRESS-.

The latest rate decision Of the fed
eral supreme court amounts TO this,
that the war powers of congress are
so broad that they enable II ia confer
upon the president complete authority
over the making of rates. along with
the power to take over the rails and
the wires. The rate. making jurisdie-
tion, it appears, is paramount TO the
jurisdiction of tie various states over
purely intrastate rates.
The plain inference is that. m time

authority Of congress and the author

it empowers 10 do so, decides 10 as

CIVIL WAR IN IRELAND
ADVOCATED BY PRESS
London Daily Post Asserts Britain
Has No Alternative Save
Surrender.

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-''Let there be
civil war in Ireland, for there is no
alternative for the British govern
.nent save surrender" said the Morn
ing Post today, in commenting upon
the attempt to aSSassinate Lord
French, lord lieutenant of Ireland.
near Dublin yesterday. Let the Sim
Fein leaders suffer the consequences"
1T is imperative that the govern
ment clear out the cursed gang OF
irreconcilables in Ireland" said the
Daily Graphic.
The Times expresses the belief that
,he end of the Irish troubles is not
yet in sight.
The Chronicle, which is generally
regarded as the organ of Premier
Lloyd George, does not express any
surprise over the attack.
"The attempt to assassinate Lord
French will not modify the premier's
forthcoming statement on Monday re-
eardins the new home rule measure
for Ireland" said the Manchester
Guardian. THE government is be-
level to be ready to enact q new
home rule measure Immediately il Ire
land is ready for it and is prepared to
consider it seriously"

FRENCH NOT ALARMED
BY ATTACK IN DUBLIN
He Declares Routine Will Not Be
Altered by All the Threats
in Ireland.

DUBLIN, Dec. 20.-"I am not going
to alter my routine for all Of the
threats in Ireland" declared Lord
French, lord liuetenant OF Ireland, in
discussing today the attempt that
was made upon his life near Dublin
yesterday.
The latest available information
shows that, in addition to the pistol
shots that were fired, five bombs
were thrown at the lord lieutenant
The official probably owes his life
to the fact that the assailants mis-
took the second automobile for the
one in which he was really riding.
The lord lieutenant's automobile was
heavily armored. Lady French was
with her husband.
After the attack Lord French smil-
ingly declared that the fusillade was
greater than anything he had encoun-
tered in the world war, while he was
commanderin-cslief Of the British
armies in France and Flanders.
Edward Holly, a detective, was rid
ing with the lord lieutenant. He said
1t was not until the fifth bomb had
exploded that he drew his revolver
and began shooting.
Some of the assailsnts were pro-
vided with bicycles. These men sped
away On their machines followed by
bullets from the military mon and
policemen accompanying Lord French.

DOUBTFUL IF U.S. WILL

1t was still doubtful today IL the
State Department would receive

who was released yesterday by the
immigration authorities at Angel Is

Officials were greatly relieved, how
ever, to learn that Nochmetroff was q
representative of the Central Union
OF Consumers Society of Russia, in
stead of representing the Bolshevik
government Of Russia Had he rep
resented the Soviet regime directly,
Vochmetroff undoubtedly would have
been barred from the country. it is

Justice Department Agents
Prove Dry Decision Tip Was
Not GuessWork.

Evidence which tears to shreds the
albi theory that decisions of the
United States Supreme Court were
being guessed" by lawyers involved
in the leak investigation is today in
the hands Of Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer.
Judge c. B. Ames, assistant At
torney General, and Capt. Frank
Burke, Of the Investigation Bureau,
have wrung from the lawyers who
have been interrogsted admissions
which confirm the information fur
nished to the Government by the In
ternatioual News Service during the
past month.
Warned in Advance.
More than two weeks ago Judge
Ares was warned that the lawyers
and their associates in the leak
scheme would. through prearranse-
nient, set up the alibi plea that they
Rad "deduced" the decisions in case
of trouble" with the Federal authori-
ties. That Is precisely what hap
pened. but the willy inside informa-
tion" spectators had overlooked sew
eral important points in their stories.
Judge Amas seized upon these facts,
and as a result the plausible theory
of guessing has been discounted by
the Government.
The wheels OF justice are grinding
slowly. but with precision, and there
VIII be important developments in the
now celebrated Supreme Court de-
cisions leak case. The demand Of
Chief Justice Edward d. White that

Court Attaehe Blamed.
Judge Ames is in possession of evil
dence which definitely connects a mi
nor attache OF the court with one of
the lawyers in the case and which
shows that these two men were con-
cerned with a speculation in Southern
Pacific stock on November II, one of
them selling the stock short at a Wall
street brokerage shop and making a
profit OF sl,500 on a small investment.
This was the day that the Supreme
Court handed down its decision in the
