Washington, May 4.-Increase T. of
intra-State telephone. toll rates by
the Postmaster General was defend
ed in a brief filed by the government
recently in the Supreme Court in
connection with pending appeals
from South Dakota and Massachu-

in their appeals have contended the
increase was an undue interference
with their police powers. Arguments
in the proceedings will be heard
next Monday. s..
The government in it's brief de-
clares the suits instituted by the
South Dakota and Massachusetts, au-
thorities to restrain the Postmaster
General from increasing the rates

United States without it's consent
and should be dismissed. The gov

PROVISION OF REVENUE
ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Greensboro, N. c., May 4.-Feder-
al Judge James E. Boyd recently
held as unconstitutional the provls-
ions of the Revenue Act intended to
prohibit the employment of child la
Dor. Judge Boyd last year held the
federal child labor law unconstitu-
tional and his decision was upheld by
the United States Supreme Court.
The previous case was brought to
test the federal statute which denied
the channels of interstate commerce
to goods made in factories where
child labor was employed. Despite
the rallying of well-known constitu-
, tional lawyers to the defense Of the
statute, it. was held invalid by Judge
Boyd. After the Supreme Court up
held him, Congress wrote provision
into the recent Revenue Act placing
a privilege tax of 10 per cent on
products of factories employing chill
dren under fourteen years of age to
any extent, or the employment for
longer than eight hours a day Of
children from fourteen to sixteen
years Of age.
In making permanent an injunc-
tion granted to temporarily stay exc
cution of this law in the Charlotte,
N. c., case here today, Judge Boyd
said that the federal law tries to ac-
complish regulation of employment
by indirection under the taxing priv
ilege in this instance, as the previ-
ous law attempted it under the inter-
state commerce powers. Both at
tenpts he holds to be invasion of
States rights.

of rumors indicating that it had

Germans Not Enthused.

y London, May 4.-According to a
summarized report Of an interview
given by Herr Schueckling, one of
Germany's peace delegates, to the
Berlin correspondent Of the Herald,
the laborite organ, the plan for the
League Of Nations, which has been
formulated at Paris, has brought dis
illusionment to Germany. It is re-
garded there as a thinly-veiled
scheme for the victorious powers to
gain the ascendancy and gives the
militarists an opportunity to taunt
the pacifsts for their simplicity, it
is said.
# the scheme is adopted in its
present form," Herr Schueckling is
quoted as saying, "the league will
lose all its moral authority over all
sections of the Germans, some OF
whom will revert to reaction. 9th
ers, look forward to the establish
ment of international socialism"
Herr Schueckling emphasized that
a feature of German plans for the
legaue creates a representative world
parliament, thus safeguarding the
democratic basis of the league and
avoiding the return of militarism
in a new world. IT,.
The correspondent adds:
"Herr Schueckling made an in
slant impression of sincerity and
courage, which his lifelong fight
against militarism and his record
as an opponent of the war confirms. u

NAVY AIR FLIGHT

st. Johns N. F., May 4.-The Un-

waters at Trespassey Bay. 1t has on

The arrival Of the Aroostook with
the hint it brought Of the early ar

for their start on the transatlantic
flight caused noticeable concern to

'The Nancy boats Of the United
States navy must get here first, "
commented Raynham in speaking OF
the prospects for the navy's N. c,
planes. "Then they must fly to the
Azores. Whether we call Portugal
or England their finish line, the stops
they will make involve time. I think
either Hawker or I can give then

if they follow announced plans.

Mrs. Haddie Rist, is n member of the
regiment and it is presumed that he
landed also, but no word of his arrival
| has been received by his mother
A story in the Chicago Tribune tells
Interestingly of the experiences thru
which the regiment passed while under
fire. The regiment was organized 70
lay mines in the path of the advancing
Germans and to mine and destroy Ger
| man positions when the alned advance
was begun but after the unit reached
| France the Germans retreated so fast
that mining was unnecessary. How
ever. il constructed fifty-fve bridges
under fire in the Argonne alone and
several of it's detachments took part in
the lighting there. Companies b and
G were in action at Chateau Thierry.
Companies \ and h were in the drive
at 81. Nihiel, while the regiment as
whole, operated all thru the Argonne
where 1t was three times cited. Cor
poral Barrett is a member of Company
3 and Private Rist OF Company a.
An amusing incident occurred when
the regiment landed, accompanied by
! its mascot "Punkins," a dog VINO
barked at the engineers as they en-
barked for France and whom they then
adopted. "Punkins' returned wearing
the regulation olive drab, the division
insignia and in addition a wound
stripe on the right front paw sleeve
and a service stripe on the left. A
certain major at Hoboken saw the dog
and gave orders that he was to be de-
stroyed. However, giving the orders
and enforcing execution were very
! different matters, for when the major
went for the dog he heard a bark at
the other end of the line and then
banks everywhere. The whole regi-
ment was barking in it's sleeve so the
major gave up and departed. The dog
was then produced from suitcase
with his head bandaged to keep him
silent. "Punkins" had not uttered
sound and yet the whole pier had
sounded with barks.

Contentions Of tho City.
1t Is now contended for the city that
the ordinance passed by the council,
Sept. s, 1881, did nothing more than
give consent of the city for the cree
ton of IA court house, that the city
council had no right TO give away city
property, and that Henry Arson, hav-
ing dedicated the property to the city,
had no right to sell.
Therefore. as long as the city Is
owner of the property, which never
was validly conveyed away, the board
of supervisors had no right to collect
rent from the city for living on It's own
property. The city, 1t is intimated,
might later ask the county TO pay rent
for occupying city property.
II IL further contended by members
OF the city council that should the
ordinance and agreements between the
various parties concerned he held
valid. il could be shown that the
county failed TO live up to the terms
of the agreement which provided that
the property should be used for
county purposes only. The county. il
is contended, violated these agree
ments when II permitted the city
offices 10 be situated in the county
building, and at other times when
rooms in the court house We're rented

companies. etc.
