MAKING DIAMONDS POSSIBLE
President of Dutch Workers Union
Admits Artificial Process May
Be Known

Amsterdam Polak. presi.
dent of the Dutch Diamond Workers
union. says it is not impossible that
a German explosives firm has dis
covered how to manufacture diamonds
artif1cially, as it claims to have done.
The chief difficulty is to obtain an
unbelievably powerful pressure under
the right circumstances, M. Polak ex-
planned Since 1t is a manufacturer
of explosives which is reported to have
discovered the method OF making dia-
monds, he said it was possible that
experimenters had succeeded in OBJ
tanning the desired pressure
NJ Polak expressed some doubt as to
whether diamonds could be manufac-
tured artif1cially at less than the cost
of mining them.
1t was recently announced in Berlin
that dynamite company of Hamburg
had obtained the patent for the man
ufacture of diamonds and was in
position to produce several hundred
carats daily at a cost less than the
present world price for the natural
stones.

OLDEST PORTRAIT
FOUND ON STAMP
Discovered in Pennsylvania Uni
versiiy's Collection Of Tablets
From Babylonia.
IT IS A LIKENESS OF IBI-SIN
Picture of the Last King of Ur Is on
Clay Stamp and Is as Clearly
Defined as the Day 1t
Was Made.

Philadelphia, Pa.-What is believed
TO be the oldest portrait of a human
being has been discovered in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania museum col
lection of clay tablets from Babylonia
according to an announcement by Gu
rator Iagrain of the Babylonian sec
ton. The portrait is on clay >"post-
age stamp" which also served as a
seal for registered package, dated
about 23OO B. G.
1t is a likeness of Ibi-Sin, the last
king of Ur known to Bible students
as Ur of the ChAldee.
The package or sack bearing the
seal, Doctor Lagrain said. appears to
have been sent by the high priest Of
the Temple of Ur, in which Abraham
later worshiped, to banker named
Shulpae, and probably contained gold.
Shows Personal Appearance.
1T is of unusual Importance to
psychologists" he added, because It
probably gives a clew to the personal
appearance of the Sumerans.
The portrait is on a clay stamp It
is as clear and distinct and the fea-
y
lures as well defined as the day it was
made. The astonishing thing is that
1t shows the cooking as smooth
shayen. 1t is significant that the pic
ture shows lock Of hair projecting In
the forehead from beneath the tur-
ban hat and another from behind
ibi-sin Was Different.
Before the days of Ibi-Sin we never
heard of king giving any one
seal containing his portrait, but in
this instance the seal not only dis
tinctly says the king-god gave the
seal to the high priest OF the Temple
Of Ur, but shows picture Of the
event.
POSSIBLY the fact that Ibi-Sin was
the last of his dynasty and may have
seen the end coming, was responsible
for this remarkable gift"

CharggeQuashed
BY Jud &c Mayer
Demurrer to Count Of In
dictment Alleging Con-
spiracy in Restraint Of
Trade Sustained by Court
Brokerage Right Defined
Action in Handling Foreign
Commerce and All Rate
Plans Are Approved

Judge Julius NJ. Mayer, in an opln-
ion filed yesterday in the United States
District Court, virtually Quashed the
indictment filed last August charging
thirty-seven steamship lines, four
steamship freight brokerage houses
and seventeen individuals with con-
splracy to restrain trade and foreign
commerce and to monopolize the ocean
freight business. He sustained de-
murrer to that count in the indict-
ment charging conspiracy.
Last Friday Judge Mayer sustained
Indictment charging monopoly
Most of the steamship companies
mentioned in the indictment are mem
bcrs of the Transatlantic Associated
Freight Conferences and the brokers
are members of the Steamship Freight
Brokers' Association. Among the
steamship lines mentioned were the
Cunard Line, international Mercantile
Marine Company, Anchor Line, French
Line, Funch, Edge & Co., Furness,
Witty & Co., and several Italian,
scandinavian and Greecian companies.
Brokerage Houses Named
The brokerage houses are: William
& 1erhune, Mum g. Jenkins, Lambert
& Barrows and Caldwell! & Co.
Argument in support of the de
murrers was made by former Federal
Judge Van Vechten Veeder and Abra-
ham S. Gilbert, as counsel for the de
fendants. Special United States At
torney Henry A. Guyler opposed the
motion. Judge Mayors opinion yes
terday cleared the case from the crmi-
nal docket in the Federal court.
Judge Mayer, in his opinion, said:
There is not a single allegation show
ing restraint Of trade or commerce
eithcr in Interstate or with foreign
nations, or conspiracy so to restrain
unless it be unlawful for the steam
ship companies concerned to limit the
pay commissions or so-called brokerage
fees
The first count Of the Indictment,
when stripped of formal allegations
immaterial to the basic questions to be
decided, comes down to this: It is
| alleged that 80 per cent of the forei gn
trade or commerce which was, or be
comes i'm due course of business, inter
state trade or commerce moves to or
passes through the port of New York
Thirty per cent of this 80 per cent is
handled by freight brokers and for
warders. OF the 80 per cent, upward
of so per cent is handled by seventy
five freight brokers and forwarders
who are members of theS Steamship
Freight Brokers' Association
"Practically all of the so per cent

Kingsley Urges Presiden,

Darwin Y. Kingsley. president of the
Chamber of Commerce Of the State Of
New York, yesterday sent telegram
TO President Wilson urging tho ap-
pontment of at least one United States
shipping Board Commissioner from
New York. The telegram stated:
experimenting the telegram to you
by Governor Smith OF New York,
respectfully suggest tho appointment OF
a New York man for the Shipping
Board because nearly so per cent Of
the vessels engaged in foreign trade
enter and clear at the port Of New
York and carry over so per cent Of the
nations trade in merchandise. With
its III miles of waterfront, presenting
the largest hsrbor in the world, New
\ ork'S preeminence in commerce will
always exist. Accordingly, not alone
local but national interests would be
best served by having at least one
SHIPPING Board Commissioner from
this district"
New-York tribune., 1920-10-28

andthe defense agree tha; broker IS
the agent of the shipper and not Of the
steamship company. The question,
then. is whether the payment by the
steamship companies of commission
or brokerage fee is foreign or inter
state trade and commerce within the
meaning Of the sherman anti-trus.
law. Brokerage b. whomsoerer paid.
is merely ar aid whereby shipment may
be more easily and readily accom-
plished. It is in no sense interstate or
foreign trade or commerce.
Mr.. Guyler said the government
would appeal from Judge Mayors de-
cision sustaining the demurrer.
