Berlin: (By l. ]. P. b. The Jews Of
this city who desire to retain Kol Nj
DIRE in the Yom Kippur services as
performed in the Berlin synagogues,
will be able to decide the question by
a referendum vote.
Some years ago, the Berlin Jewish
Kehillah decided to abolish Kol Nidre
from the Jewish ritual in all official
Berlin congregations. This was done
becase it was the contention Of the
anti-Semites that Jewish oaths were
Of no value since the Kol Nidre pray
err makes all oaths and undertakings
null and void. But at the recent cleo
tions to the Berlin Kehillah a number
Of Zionists and Conservatists were re-
turned who now introduced the resolu-
ton calling for a referendum vote in
the Berlin synagogues whether or not
the Kol Nidre prayer is to be retained
in the several congregations.
DR.. Heinrich Loewe, a Zionist men,
Der Of the Kehillah's Board Of Direc-
tors moved the adoption of the above
resolution and showed in his address
the historical importance Of Kol Nj
DIRE. The resolution was adopted and
the principle Of self-determination
will now decide whether or not the
several Jewish synagogues Of Berlin
are or are not in favor Of Kol Nidre.

DOWN POLICE Job
Col. George R. Shanton Says
Pay for a Chief of D. c.
Force Is Too Small.

Col. George r. Shanton. former
cowpuncher. protege of President
Roosevelt, at present chief OF police
of the insular police OF Porto RICO
today declined the position OF major
and superintendent Of police OF wash
inRton, declaring as his reasons that
"the salary was inconsistent win the
high cost Of living in the Capital"
Colonel Shanton reached Washing
ton last Monday after he had received
three kilograms from Secretary OF
War Newton w. Baker, urging him
to come to this city and hll the va
cancy caused by the death OF Major

The salary OF major and superin-
tendent OF police of Washington Is
$4,000, Colonel Shanton now receiv-
ing a salary OF $4,000 a year as head
Of the insular police OF Porto Rica.
Upon his arrival in Washington
last Monday, Colonel Shanton held
several conferences with Commits
sioner Brownlow and Secretary Ba-
ker, both of whom are said to have
urged that he take the position as
head of the Washington folice De-

After a careful survey OF living
and police conditions in the Capital,
Colonel Shanton, who has been stop
ping at the Raleigh Hotel, met Com
missioner Brownlow at noon today
and gave his decision that he could
not accept the job because OF the in
adequate salary.
1t is understood Colonel Shanton
had other reasons to acceptance OF
the position as head OF the Police De-
partment. His ideas OF policing are
not consistent, It is said, with those
now In vogue here.

Justice Bailey Affirms Right to
Bring Action Restraining
Auction of Vessels.
TURNS DOWN PAYNE MOTION
Precedents Cited to Show liti-
CANT Is Within Jurisdiction
In Legal Measure.

Justice Bailey, of the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia
today overruled motion to dismiss
the action brought by William Ran
dolph Hearst to enjoin the United
States Shipping Board from selling
at auction twenty-nine former Ger
man passenger ships, confiscated
during the war
.Upholds Litigant.
Dismissal Of the action was sought
by the Government on the ground
that as taxpayer Mr.. Hearst had no
specific interest and. therefore, no
right to oppose the contemplated ac-
tion of the Shipping Board. Justice
Bailey held that there 10 no reason
why Mr.. Hearst. as a taxpayer. should
not bring the action which he did.
Text Of Decision.
The decision follows:
"I think that the great weight Of
authority is to the effect that the
plaintiff (william Randolph Hearst),
as a taxpayer. has the right to main
tain an action Of this nature, and
there does not seem to be any de-
cision to the contrary in this juris-
diction.

App. d. c. 221, and in Hotel Company
VS.. United States Electric Light Com
pany. II App. d, c. $50, the Court OF
Appeals has held that a bill in equity
by a taxpayer to enjoin the officers
Of a municipal corporation from the
illegal disposition OF it's funds or
property, will lie. In Bradfield VS..

to enjoin the payment by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury of the United
States of $4,000. authorized by act
of Congress to be paid to the New
right OF the complainant to institute
such suit was not questioned by the
Court of Appeals.
Dismisses Motion
"This case was appealed to the So
preme IouTI Oh tHe Ouitco oCdteS anu
that Court passing over the conten-
tion that a taxpayer could not main
tain such a suit disposed of 1t upon
its merits and denied the relief
sought
Under the allegations of the bill,
the plaintiff is a taxpayer, and in my
opinion has the right to bring this
suit.
IL do not see how. In any aspect.
this suit can be considered a suit
against the United States, and, having
heretofore held that Congress has
not delegated TO tho Shipping Board
authority to sell the ships referred
to in the bill, / am Of the opinion that
the motion to dismiss should be
overruled.
