PROFITEERlNG NO CRIME,

Punishment Section In Lever Act
10 Too Indefinite. II
Finds.

Washington, Mar. Two decisions Of
fnr-reaching Importance were rendered
yesterday by tho United States Supreme
Court In the first. the court held TINT IN
sections of the Lever Act Furnishing pro
fiteering we're invalid, for the reason that
they were not clear To the men indicted
under the act, IA they did not specify
sufficiently the nature of the crime In
the second cnae, the right pf tho Govern.
mcnt to exempt from taxation bonds of
the farm oan banking system was upheld
Ono interesting circumstance is that
Charles Evana Hughes, the next Secre-
tnry Of State and former Justice oi
the Supreme Court, argued both casss IN
the court and therefore won one case
and oet the other Equally interesting
" the fact that Asbury + Lever, for
mer member Of the House from South
Carolina, not only wrote the Lever Law,
but is now n member Of the Farm Loan
Board Therefore he was affected by both
decisions
In handing iown the opinion affecting
the Lever Act, Chief Justice White
took the ground that the wording Of the
act did not forbid any specific or definite
act THIS was the heart Of hi decision
In this connection he said.
The sole Remaining inquiry, there
