Mr.. HOUSTON ACTS
TO STOP LOAN INJUNCTION
Gives Eight Reasons Why Hearst
Suit Should Be Dismissed
by Court.

David F. Houston, Secretary of the
Treasury, has filed in the District Su-
preme Court a motion to dismiss the
injunction suit brought by William
Randolph Hearst to prevent the max
ing of future loans to foreign gov
ernments. The motion will be argued
next Monday before Justice HitZ.
United States Attorney Laskey ap-
pears for the Secretary.
Eight reasons are assigned why the
court should not entertain the appli-
cation of Mr.. Hearst. The plaintiff
does not show sufficient pecuniary in
terest in the subject matter of the
suit, it is claimed; and as a taxpayer
he has no legal or equitable interest
against the government of the Unit
ed States, which has not consented to
be sued and has not been made a
party to the proceeding, it is urged.
Mr.. Houston individually has no in
terest in the suit, but is sued only in
his official capacity and decree
would be virtually against the United
States.
1t is apparent, upon the face of the
bill, the Secretary says, that the suit
is nothing more than an appeal to the
courts to exercise governmental pow
ers which belong exclusively to the
Congress. Finally, Secretary Hous-
ton asks the dismissal because by the
true and lawful construction of the
power and authority vested in the de-
fendant as Secretary of the Treasury
he has in his official capacity the right
and power to do the acts complained
of in the bill of complaint, as he may
be advised.

of coal for Chile and Brazil which he
had failed to deliver

ing was blue sky business"

TRAPPER KEEPS DIARY
OF LINGERING DEATH
IN FROZEN NORTHLAND

THE PAS. Manitoba, February Is.
Out of the frozen eXpanseS of
barren lands, eco miles from the
nearest trading post, news has just
reached the provincial police here
of the tragic death of A. .. Rine-
hart of Duluth. Mimi, a trapper.
His body was found in a shack last
October by two other trappers.
where for months diary recorded
how he had fought a solitary and
courageous battle against disease,
hunger and cold. The last entry
was dated April 9. 1920.
Rinehart left The Pas in August,
1919, on the long journey into bar
rem lands for a trap line. During
the next three months his adven-
ture apparently was without Incl
dent, for the first entry in the diary
was dated November. 1919. Four
months later, March. 1920, the trap
per's notes revealed his almost
hopeless plight, then having been
helplessly confined to his bed. Real
izing his predicament. he had
stored all his supplies within
reach. The final chapter told of his
inability to get out of bed to keep
the fires going. the exhaustion of
his water supply and his slow
death.
