Grants Resignation Stands.

When the announcement was made
that no secretary had been chosen
there developed the information that
the resignation of Thomas Grant, as
secretary, would stand. The question
arose as to whether Mr.. Grant should
be paid whole or half salary for the
period dating since the submission of
his resignation. 1t was decided that
he should be given half pay since the
time of the submission of his resig-
ration until his successor is chosen.
Members of the chamber. it was
learned today. are still endeavoring
to have Tom Grant reelected secre-
tary, despite his request to the nom
mating committee not to consider his
name.
The fact that the directors failed to
decide on the secretaryship last night
increased rather than lessened inter-
est in the filling of this vacancy. The
monthly meeting of the chamber will
be held Tuesday night, and it is pos
sible that at that time the question of
who is to be secretary will be dis
cussed. The election of a secretary
however, rests with the board of di-

SUPREME COURT RULES
IN PART ON ESPIONAGE
Things Said During Peace Times
Not to Be Endured as Long
as Men Fight.

While not passing directly upon the
question of the constitutionality of
the espionage act, the Supreme Court,
in disposing of proceedings involving
an Interpretation of that statute, yes
terday, in effect, held that the So
called enlistment section is not an
interference with the right of free
speech provided by the Constitution.
when a nation is at war" the
court held in an opinion rendered by
Justice Holmes, many things that
might be said in time of peace are
such u. hindrance to its effort that
their utterance will not be endured
so long as men fight, and no court
could regard them as protected by
any constitutional right"
The opinion was rendered in sus-
tanning convictions of Charles t.
Schenk and Elizabeth Baer of Phila-
delphia, who were charged with at
tempting to interfere with Army en-
listments by sending through the
mails to men of draft ages circu-
lars discussing subjects relative to
the war.
The court also, in effect, sustained
the convictions of Kate Richards
OHare, in North Dakota, under the
espionage act, by refusing to review
her case, and also the conviction of
Abraham l.. Sugerman of Minneapo-
lis. Appeals from convictions, under
the espionage act of Eugene V. Debs
and Jacob Frohwek of Kansas City
were argued in the court prior to
the February recess, but were not
disposed of by the court today.

WILL CONSIDER CHANGE
IN D. c. MEDAL DESIGN
Committee at Tomorrow's Meeting
to Take Up Suggestion Made
by Secretary of War.

Until tomorrow, when Robert n.
Harper. chairman of the recent well
come home parade, has called a final
no decision can be reached as to
whether the committee will or will
not change the design of the 5000
bronze medals planned as gifts to
local war veterans. 1t seems there
are points of resemblance between
the design of these medals and that of
the congressional medal of honor, and
attention has been called to this fact
Mr.. Harper has received courteous
communication from the War Depart
ment mentioning the resemblance, and
expressing the hope that without any
pecuniary loss or other embarrassment
the executive committee may nit on
another design.
The communication also called at
tention to the bill now pending in
Congress which makes it unlawful to
wear insignia which might be mis-
taken or an official governmental serv-
ice medal. Gen. March, chief of staff.
has pointed out to Chairman Harper
that the two insignia in question
somewhat resemble each other and
might be confused by an undiscrimi-
mating eye. There are, however, diff
ferences fully as noticeable as the
points of resemblance.
Isaac Cans, chairman of the medal
committee, states that about $500 of
the medals have been cast. Inasmuch
as no plan of distributing them has
yet been worked out, the decision as to
whether any more shall be cast or
whether new dies shall be struck
will have to await the Cleanup meet
ing tomorrow.

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and ehesply made at homo,
but it beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands of housewives have
found that they car save two-thirds
of the money usually spent for
cough preparations, by using this
we'll known old recipe for making
cough syrup at home. 1t is simple
and cheap, but ii really has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right
hold of a cough and gives immedi-
ate relief, usually stopping an ordi-
nary cough i'm "a hours or less.
Get zIt ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into a pint bottle,
and add plain granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. If you
prefer, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
keeps perfectly, and lasts family
4 long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
it acts. penetrating through every
air passage of the throat and lungs
-Ioosens and raises the phlegm,
soothes and heals the membranes,
and gradually but surely the annoy
ing throat tickle and dreaded cough
disappear entirely. Nothing BET
ter for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
whooping cough or bronchial
asthma.
Pinex is a special and highly con-
-entrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract, known the world
over for its healing effect on the
membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking
your druggist for "2Ia ounces of
Pinex" with full directions and don't
accept anything else. Guaranteed
to give absolute satisfaction or
money promptly refunded.
