Var Law Repeal
Passed by Senate
Joint Resolution Includes
the Food and Fuel Con-
troll Precision of Act
From Tho Trl6une's Washington Burco,

FROM iH0 II1OHncS w washington 6tTcuU
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The Sen
ate tonight passed the joint resolution
to repeal the war laws. 1t interrupted
the debate on the naval bill long
enough to give half hour to this reso-
luton and finally passed it without
roll call.
Senator Sterling, in charge of the
measure, obtained consent to have the
resolution considered, and for this pur-
pose the nasal bill was temporarily
laid aside.
On motion OF Senator Reed, of Mis-
souri,, the food and fuel control act
was added to the list Of those meas
ures, or parts Of measures, which are
repealed. Senator Reed referred to the
fact that the Supreme Court this af.
ternoon had knocked out the penal
provisions Of the food and fuel con-
troll act as reason for repeal. Sen
ator Underwood supported this view
The resolution differs in some particu-
lars from the House resolution, but II
is expected an agreement will be
reached before March 4.
While the measure is currently re-
ferred to as one repeating the wal
laws, it actually repeals the second
espionage act, and as to war laws not
specifically excepted, fixes the date OF
the passage Of the measure as the date
for the termination Of the war in con.
STRUNG these laws.

Yale seniors, Elias w. Harrington and
Ellwood Grissenger, were to-day SEN

son of a prominent Florida business
man, drove President Wilson's private
automobile. Grissenger is the only

Fyon, The Tribnrc'3 Washington Burco~
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.--The lone
struggle in Congress over the Fordney
emergency tariff bill ended to-day with
the adoption of the conference report
BY the Senate.
The House having already adopted
the report. the Senate's action sends
the bill to the President. Democratic
chieftains in Congress predict veto
but there have been some rumors

barrass the Republican party.
The vote on the bill on adoption of
the conference report was 49 to 32
Eleven Democrats voted for the meas
ure and four Republicans against it.
The roll call was preceded by long
debate over the merits of the bill. SEN
ator Simmons led in the attack on the
measure. Senator Underwood and va
rious other Democrats spoke against it.
Senator McCumber took the lead in de-
Tending the bill.
A feature of the discussion was a
bitter excoriation of the bill by Sena-
tor Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado
Senator Thomas said:
"The Payne-Aldrich bill often has
been referred to as an abomination.
This bill is a damnation. 1t is the
most infamous measure that has ever
received the approval of the American
Congress. 1t will increase the cost of
living. Already sugar has increased 2
cents pound, which means a daily tax

nary robber. for he takes some chances,
but for robbery OF this sort, it presents
contrast between the man of action
and the sneak thief.
"I do not know personally whether
the President will veto the bill or not.
I have heard it said that ne would, but
7 have no means of being sure Of it.
But ii ! wished any Ill of the Harding
Admiaistration-which l do not; if
wished the Republican party harm,
which do not; if the prayers Of the
rich avail anything, which they never
do, would pray for his approval of
this bill; for in the event that it be-
comes law, then say to my Repub-
lican brethren, woe unto your Ad-
ministration for the next four years"
If the President signs the measure,
it will become effective Immediately
for a period of ten months.

Judge Learned Hand, in an opinio,
filed yesterday in the United State.
District Court, declined to fix a new
limit for the charge the CONSOLIDATED
Gas Company may make for gas afte!
to-day.
This means, according to statemen
issued last night by William L. Ran
som, counsel for the Consolidated, tha
the present limitation of the rate tt
S1.20 will not be continued, and unit
the new Public Service Commission i:
vested with jurisdiction the duty rests
upon the company of fixing reason
able rate now and of changing it a:
conditions permit"
The company will charge $3.50 here
after, MIR. Ransom said.
Injunction Extended
All moneys collected in excess OF
the so cent rate, Mr. Ransom said
will remain impounded by the court
so that they can be repaid if the pres.
ent judgment in favor of the compan,
is not affirmed by the United States
Supreme Court on the pending appeal.
Judge Hand, in whose decision
Judges Ward and Mayer concurred
extended the preliminary injunction
Of last August, which enjoins all city
county and state officials from inter.
fering with the gas company in col.
lecting it's $1.20 per 1000 cubic feet
rate.
The DEGREES entered August 4 and II
1920, provided that until March /, 1921
the gas company should be limited tt
$1.20 in the price that it might charge
for gas, and if before that time rate
should be fixed by competent public
authority Special Master Richard
yelling should distribute the sum de.
posted in court above 80 cents as
though the rate had been in force
from the date of the decree; but if nc
rate had been promulgated he shoulc
turn over the sums impounded to the
company.
Impounding Period Extended
Judge Hand, in his opinion, extended
the period for lmpounding until three
months after the appeal is decided un.
less the Public Service Commission
before that period expires has put in
force q new rate, temporary or final
The money Chat above so cents) sc

The gas company contends that ii
costs more than $1.45 per 1000 cubic
feet to supply it's gas. Judge Hand
says:
II cannot undertake, especially or
afidavits, to decide whether the plain
tiff's claims are too high. Nothing car
be decided as to how much the plain.

how much it shall at present collect
The evidence is not sufficient
to make any finding, and it would be
unfortunate to give color to the sup.

approval of the court"
He says that the decision remains
with the Supreme Court.
