ASKS COURT TQL|FT
DANIELS CABLE.BAN
Secretary Threatened-to Cut
Miami Wire, Western
Union Says.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany today applied to the. Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia for
an Injunction against Josephus Dan
iels. Secretary of the Navy. to prevent
a telegraph cable between Miami and
Miami Beach. Fla The court also is
asked to require the Secretary to in
struct his subordinate officers and off,
cials of the Navy Department to
cease threatening to destroy the cable,
II laid
The company claims that the cable,
now in course of construction. is the
replacement of an existing line. which
has been in operation since 1899, and
is a proposition distinct from the Bar
BADGES cable, the laying of which was
prevented last spring by the sending
of a warship to the vicinity.
100000 Already spent.
The court is advised that already
100000 has been spent in the work
now interfered with, and this ex-
penditure will go for naught unless
the Navy Department Is enjoined from
interfering with the completion of the
work.
Attorney Paul E. Lesh, for the COM
pany. will present the application to
Justice Stafford for a preliminary
order against the Secretary of the
Navy.
The Western Union claims that it
has the right to construct the cable
in question under the authority of
the act of 1866 and under a permit from
the Secretary Of War, granted under
the act of 1899, after the company's
plans had been approved by the War
Department The line between the two
points was detoured in 1917. the court

men to desist, although the War De-
partment had approved the plans for

Says Admiral stopped work.
Exhibition of the permit from Sec
retary Baker had no effect on the ma
val officer, the court is told, and the
company was. advised that the work
could not proceed until Washington
had directed such action. When the
matter was laid before Secretary Dan
iels. it is asserted. the action Of the
naval commander was upheld and
letter sent to the company October
30. containing the notification that if
the. lines were laid they would be cut.
The company claims that it will suf-
fer irreparable loss if not permitted
to complete its work, and asks the
court to put stop to all interference
from Secretary Daniels and his Sub
ordinateS.

IN CASE
Of HORN|NG UPHELD
U. S. Supreme Court Affirms
Lower Tribunals Action
in PaWnbr0ker'S Case.

The United States Supreme Court
today affirmed the decision Of the
Court of Appeals Affirming a convic-
tion Of George D. Horning under the
pawnbrokers' act Of 1913. applying to
the District of Columbia
The decision, which was read by
Mr.. Justice Holmes, said that on the
undisputed evidence the defendant
was guilty OF a breach of the law.
and that the question before the court
relates to the charge Of the Judge.
Judges Charge.
''The judge said to the jury" the
decision says. "that the only question
for them to determine was whether
they believed the concurrent testi-
mony Of the witnesses for the gov
ernment and the defendant describ-
ed the course Of business. that we
have stated and as to which there
was no dispute.
These facts he correctly Instructed
them constituted an engaging In bust
ness in the DtstIieE of Columbia. This
vas excepted to and the jury retired.
The next day they were recalled to
.Uurt and were told that there was
lS1Aly no Issue Ok I8ct xoF sI0em%st0
1ecfde: that they were not warranted
IN capricious1y saying that the wit
neeses Tor the government and the
defendant were not telling the truth;
that the course Of dealing constituted
, breach Of the law; that 1t was their
duty to accept this exposition Of the
law: that in a criminal case the court
could not peremptorily instruct them
TO find the defendant guilty, but that
IL the law permitted he would.
Facts Not In Dispute.
This was not case of judge ex-
pressing an opinion upon the evf-
dence." the decision went on to say,
"as he would have the right to do.
The. facts were not in dispute. and
what he did was to say SO ara to lay
down the law applicable to them - E
The decision closed by saying: TT
the defendant suffered any wrong 1t
was purely formal, since. as we have
said. on the facts admitted there was
no doubt of his guilt"
The case arose in the lower court
originally on a charge that the de-
fendant, who had been doing business
In washington as a pawnbroker,
maintained an office in Virginia at the
other end of a bridge leading from
this city. where the loans were made.
The Chief Justice and Justices Day,
McReynolds and Brandeis diSsented
from the majority opinion Of the
court.

CLASH
IN HARD BATTLE
ATWHIIEHOUSE

The two big turkeys which were
sent to the White House for the
residents Thanksgiving dinner
were turned loose today to feed in
the grounds back of the executive
offices, but they spent the time
fighting each other, and so bitter
became the feud that it was neces-
sary to put them in distant parts Of
the grounds.
At one time during the battle it
was feared the presidential Thanks
giving feast would have to be held
without the services of either of
these giants. Feathers flew and
blood was spilled, and it looked very
much as If there would be one If
not two real fatal knockouts.
The west fence of the grounds was
lined with spectators and the mill
probably would have inspired some
betting had not several attendants
intervened to cut it short.
The birds are about. the same
weight. thirty-eight pounds. The
one sent by the Chamber of Com
merce Of Cuero, Tex, arrived FRI
day afternoon and the one from
South Trimble's farm in Kentucky
arrived yesterday morning. Both
are gobblers and the feud developed
the minute they were turned loose
in the rear grounds.
The consensus of opinion Of those
who saw the real battle was that
the kentucky bird, which was the
aggressor, was the victor.

LODGE SURE C. 0.P.
||||lMb|k|Ep'|E!Ac||E:
Confident Actual Passing Of
Measure Will Occur in Hard
ing Administration.

Whether President Wilson sends the
peace treaty back to the Senate or
not at the coming session will make
no difference in the peacemaking
activities Of the United States. in the
opinion of Senator LodgS of Massa-
chusetts, republican leader Of the
Senate. who returned to Washing
ton today.
THE republican President and the
republican Congress elected by the
people this month will take care of
the matter" said Senator Lodge.
While there may be speeches in the
Senate in the coming short session
of Congress. Senator Lodge Is con-
fident that the actual making Of
peace will now be left to the newly
elected administration, which enters
upon it's duties March I.
Senator Lodge expressed regret that
the new administration is to be de-
layed three months. It is unfortunate,
he said, that the change in admins
tration and in the Congress should
have to wait so long a time after the
people have expressed themselves at
the polls. He said he would approve
a change in the law Of the land which
would make the newly elected Presi-
dent and Congress take Office early in
January.
Declines to Express Opinion.
The republican leader declined to
express an opinion as to whether a
peace resolution, similar to the Knox
resolution Of the last session. declar-
ing peace; with Germany and Austria.
will be the first step undertaken by
the republicans to bring about peace
or whether Mr.. Harding would start
negotiation of a new peace pact i'm
mediately.
II have not consulted with Senator
Harding" said Senator Lodge. 'The
matter Of making peace and the
course to be pursued will be in his
hands, Of course, as the newly elect
ed President"
Senator Lodge said that he ex-
pected to discuss with Senator Hard
ing sometime later the questions re-
lating to the making of peace. He
said he had no information as to the
list of men with whom the Presi-
dent-elect will consult on this sub
ject.
Series Of Conferences.
It is not believed, however. that
there is to be any general conference
of republican leaders with Mr.. Hard
ing on the peace question. but rather
that there will be series of con-
ferences at which the President-elect
