WILSON DENIES ENTERING ANY GERMAN SHIP DEAL;
PAYNE SAYS PRESIDENT APPROVED SALE PROPOSAL
Store Denies Laws
Power When Charged
With Profiteering

Spokane, Feb. 20.-The constitu-
tionality of the federal statute under
which the CuIbertson- G rcte- Rankin
department store here was indicted
by federal grand jury recently for
alleged profiteering is attacked in a
demurrer to the Indictment filed in
United States district court here by
counsel for the defendant, which
conducts department store in this
city;
The act is declared to be unconsti-
tutional in that it would deprive the
defendant of its property without due
process of law. Sufficiency OF the
allegation to constitute violation of
the act also is denied.

PONDEROUS HIGH COURT

Berlin. FEB. o0.-Preliminary con-
ferences between Dr. Schiffer, minister
of justice. and the attorney general
have convinced the minister that the
trial by the supreme court of Leipzig,
of Germans accused by the allies Of war
crimes will necessitate considerable
amplification Of that tribunal. both with
respect to its organic construction and
working forces.
In view of the fact that Germany's
highest court is a ponderous and slow
moving affair, which has always been
considerably behind the time, the forth
coming trials will probably demand a
distictive section which would not con
flict with the courts regular cases. The
