BY ANDERSON
Lever Statute Declared In Part
Unconstitutional by Federal
Judge In Coal Case Ruling;
Result of Hughes Appeal.
SAYS ACT IS VAGUE ONE
fBy Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 90
Three sections Of the Lever act were
held unconstitutional by United
States District Judge A. B. Anderson
In federal court, who quashed IL of
the Is counts of the indictments
against miners and operators based
on those sections In ruling on the mo-
ton of Charles E. Hughes, of New
York, to quash the Indictment
Count Is of the indictment, based
on section 81 of the criminal code,
was also quashed
The II counts in the Indictment.
five, six, seven, eight. nine, 10, II, II,
IL, IA, Is and IS, based on sections
four, 2S and amended section four of
the Lever act, were quashed
Calls II Vague, Indefinite
He challenged the constitutionality
OF the Lever act principally on the
ground that it is vague and indefinite
| and does not contain sufficient pen.
atty provision.
The sufficiency of the indictment
also was challenged on the ground
principally that the coal business dur
ing the time covered was governed
| by rules promulgated by President
| Wilson.
The motion to quash the Indictment
was made by Charles Evans Hughes,
former justice of the supreme court,
on behalf Of the miners, May Z.
| Counts one, two, three, four and
seven. based on section nine of the
| Lever act, which the court held valid,
were declared operative and were not
qua shed by the Judge.
In handing down his ruling on the
| various sections of the law affected
by this indictment Judge Anderson
took each of the sections up sep
| arately.
Following the ruling Mr.. Hughes
and counsel for other defendants held
short conferences. Hughes then be-
gan his argument on the statutory
construction of section nine.
Bituminous coal operators of Indi-
ana and Pennsylvania. including John
L. Lewis, president of the United Mine
workers of America, were in court
when the ruling was handed down.

Wants Whole Act ouashed.
Mr.. Hughes argument was chiefly
along the same line as his previous
argument at the time the original mo.
tion to quosh was presented on May
T. He declared that the entire act
was vague and insufficiently drawn
for the basis of a case.
/ He urged that the remaining counts
of the indictment be dismissed. Fol-
lowing Mr. Hughes argument the
court recessed until 2 this afternoon.

GARDENS MAY EXCEED
THOSE OF WARTIME

With more than 1874 pupils en-
rolled in the Junior Red Cross garden
movement, Richmond this year ma Y
exceed in number the gardens put out
during the war years.
Home gardeners are awake to the
danger of a food shortage next fall.
They are putting in crops, says Super
visor Rice, that can be canned and
stored. Crops of proved food values
have been planted on vacant lots in
all parts of the city.
Prospective gardeners who have de-
layed planting need not fear that the
season is too far advanced, Super
visor Rice said Wednesday. There is
still plenty of time to prepare the soil
and plant the vegetables.
Plant Spuds, is Advice
Potatoes should be planted in large
quantities.
mo ma tier what the price may be
next fall" said Mr.. Rice, "if you have
a supply raised in your own garden
you need not care. You will more
than get the price of the seed out OF
your yield"
Wise heads of families have not
overlooked the importance of prepar
ing for food shortage. They see in
the home garden a foil against high
prices or a dearth of products. With
the yield Of their gardens canned OF
in storage, they feel that they can
face the winter with a feeling of com
fort and assurance.

No Indiscriiminate Bonus,
SAYS Senator Carter Glass

BRISTOL, Va, May Ex-senator
Carter Glass of Virginia, former secre-
terry of treasury, stated he was op-
posed to IAN indiscriminate bonus to
ex-soldiers" in answering letter to
w. o. Came, vice president of the
Pristol Chamber of Commerce in a
message in which the chamber urged
that the senator oppose the present
soldier relief bill.
In his letter Senator Glass stated
you may be sure that I have not the
slightest idea of voting for the bonus
for ex-service men. The government
Of the United States should be not
cnly just, but generous to the last de-
gree in it's attitude toward those men
who were disabled in the service. or
whose health was impaired and also
to the dependent survivors of those
other brave men who lost their lives
in the war; but, in these days of re-
adjustment with the people bearing
the most extraordinary tax burdens
since the world was created, I think
, it would be a frightful misuse and
abuse Of power for congress to vote
an indiscriminate bonus to able
bodied ex-service men, millions of
whom did not get within 5000 miles
of Europe"

DUBLIN. May 26.-Control of Irish
land by the Sim Fein is very effec-
tive as is instanced by an occurrence
at Carrick-on-Shannon, which was re-
ported here yesterday. A farmer
named Morrison was summoned be-
fore the Sim Fein land committee to
show why he had attempted to buy
land over the heads of young men of
the district who did not own property.
He had just purchased a grazing farm
for $500 and told the committee he
had bought it for his two brothers in
America. The committee warned him
to surrender it Immediately, which he
agreed to do with reluctance.

FRENCH PREPARATION
VIEWS WON, GEORGE
CLEMENCEAU SAYS
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, May 26.-Light is thrown on
the financial side of the Versailles
treaty with Germany by an interview
with Georges Clemenceau, former
French premier, secured by Alfred
Capus, editor of the Galois, and pub
lished in that newspaper today.
Several persons known, said the
former premier that in the peace con-
ference discussion of fixed indemnity
lasted for three weeks. We should not
forget that a fixed sum for indemnity
was the Anglo-American idea from the
very beginning and that our allies
never abandoned this viewpoint. They
even made most careful valuation OF
the sum Germany could pay, which
was exactly 75,OO0,000,000 marks in
all.
out of our share we would have tC
pay for the reconstruction of devast
ated regions and need not tell you we
could not agree to such a solution
Discussion was long and ardent, be
cause the Anglo-American idea as tc
Germany's power of paying was firmly
rooted, but finally an agreement was
effected and that solution was embod
led in the treaty of Versailles
lnstaIIment System?
Isn't that solution one that might
be called an open account system" M
Clemenceau was asked "by which it Is
proposed to exact from Germany
everything she owes us but by sue
cessive installments as we are in g
position to fix the Indebtedness"
quite right the former premier re

man foreign office by Count Bernstorff,
then German ambassador in Washing
ton, when the former made his second
trip to Europe early in 1916, as Pres
ident Wilson's personal representative,
according to letters from the ambassa-
dor to Gottlieb Won Jagow, at that
time foreign secretary These letters
have been published here with other
documents presented before the parlia-
mentary investigating committee,
which recently inquired into President
Wilson's peace proposals during the
war.
"Viewed from the local standpoint"
Count Won Bernstorff wrote, on No
vember %, 1915, on the eve OF the
colonel's departure, "the mission of
Colonel House appears to me desir-
able. especially as the United States
is so poorly represented in Berlin.
Colonel House is wholly neutral, very
discreet and deserving. Condolences
could contribute much to the better
ment of mutual relations"
He added that Germany would be
able to compel England to recognize
the freedom of the seas early if sup
ported by the United States. and if
Germany consented to end mill
tarism,"
"If receive no reply on this point
from Your Excellency," he concluded,
II will continue to treat Colonel House
in a dilatory manner Up, to now he
has been very useful to me-"

Lid on Gambling Tight;
Police Watch Offenders

The lid Is on tight. Cigar stores,
confectioneries, hotels with dice boxes,
and all other establishments who have
been displaying gambling devices
openly in this city have destroyed or
concealed their devices as a result OF
the warning issued by the police and
prosecuting attorney. According to
the police report Wednesday, a strict
watch has been kept, and no viola
tions have been detected thus far.
The local establishments were quick
to take advantage of the warning and
the lid does not even show a tendency
to bulge, according to the police.
