ZEZNZV MAY GIVE UP
RULE TO TRIU1MVZRA7E
Berlin Paper Says Sir Months Absence of
Soviet Leader Has Practically
Been Arranged

In political circles here the opinion
seems to be that if this triumvirate
has been formed. as reported, actual
leadership of the trio will rest in
tho hands of Kameneff. 1t is con-
sidered noteworthy that Leon Trotsky
is not included, rejecting reports tnat
have come out of Russia that he is
hot a popular favorite within the
communist party.
The similarity of the reported tri-
umvirate to the old Roman triumVl-
rate and the French directorate dur
ing the revolution is noted, and Ger
man commentators are already point
ing to the historic parallels ana ar
guing that such transitions invariably
lead to the weakening of republics
and pave the way to transformations
ON a large scale.
Possible Individual Successor.
Meanwhile discussion has been re.
vived here of a possible individual
successor to Lenin. with the process
view 1t, leaving Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin as the most logical cam
didate.
Besides Tchitcherin. the likely can
didates are considered to be Zlno-
vieff, Trotsky. krassin. Lunacharsky
| and Rakovsky.
Trotsky's candidacy Is looked upon
as contestable on the ground he is
not of pure Russian stock, besides
having extremely far-reaching com
| muniStic and imperialistic inclina-
| tions.
Tchitcherin, it appears to be felt
seems to hold the greatest prospects
for promoting the international rela-
| tionS desired.

SAVANNAH, Ca. June 14.-When
N. B. F. Close, principal of pub

Wilson, an unruly student. across
his knee and treated him like
mother used to do" he did not
know he was making school ais
tory for Georgia. But he soon
found out. Mrs. c. J. Wilson,
mother of Edward, angered, at the
invasion of her rights, swore out a
warrant for the arrest of the prin-
cipal. Today John Z. -Schwarz,
city recorder, has held Close under
bond, and he can elect whether he
will stand trial by jury or face
Judge Rourke in city court and
abide by the latter's decision.
The recorder claims that he can
find no authority in the Georgia
code that gives school teacher
the right to administer corporal
punishment to pupil. The rules
and regulations of the board of
education of Savannah give the
principals of schools the right to

urally, are exempt. There is a
conflict between the local regula-
ton and the state laws in the view
of Recorder Schwarz.
The decision of the recorder Is
most important, in that 1t affects
every school in the state should IT
be upheld on appeal. The birch Is
symbol of tried authority in the
rural districts, but if it cannot be
used in the city it certainly can
not be resorted TO in the outlying
regions.
Carlton B. Gibson, once a Hoover
agent in Europe and nationally
known as an authority on school
matters, appeared in court with
Mr.. Close. He argued that there
was plenty of authority in law for
punishment Of this character. But
the recorder refused to be con-
vinced.
THE assault and battery statute"
he declared, makes no exception
for school principals. It.affects all
alike, regardless of local regula-
tions. Until the legislature of the
state shall grant specific authority,

PRESIDENT FACING
FIRST PARTY TEST
Threat to Call Extra Session
for Ship Subsidy Action
Puts Leadership to Front.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Harding's threat to call
Congress into extra session if it ad-
journs without acting on the ship
party leadership which the present
chief executive has forced since he
entered the White House.
Will the republicans in Congress
turn down their party leader? Until
now they have been lukewarm on the
ship subsidy bill because of variety
of reasons. among them a belief that
the country still retained its pre-war
prejudice against subsidies. To thwart
the Presidents wish means, on the
other hand. a number of political
complications of an entirely different
sort. MIR. Harding is midway in his
administrations failure on the part
of a republican Congress to support
him would weaken his power during
the remainder of the term. Some of
Mr.. Harding's friends think he was
unwise to make a test on the ship
subsidy bill and that he might have
welded his club of leadership on
something more likely of success.
Holds Issue Most Vital.
But Mr.. Harding feels that the po-
litical consequences of an abandoned
merchaPt fleet are colossal and that
more of a political issue will be made
against the republican party if it per-
mits the war fleet to disintegrate and
the expenses of operation TO mount
than would be the case if the old ar
guments against a subsidy were re-
vived.
For what is the alternative to the
ship subsidy plan? Mr.. Harding would
pass the whole matter to the shoulders
of Congress. An investment of $3,000.-
OOO. 900 in ships would dwindle to rela-
lively nothing, and America would be
compelled to sell her ships 20 foreign
buyers at tremendous loss. To op-
crate the ships, on the other hand,
means an expense many times greater
than the amount of subsidy asked. In
Mr.. Harding's view there is no alterna-
tive. and that's why he is forcing ac-
ton now so as to save further expense
of government operation while the sub
iect drags along in the congressional
calendar from year to year.
Opposition in Congress.
Many of the leaders in Congress
in fact most of them. do not like Mr.
Harding's assertion of leadership
But, as usual. Congress, with its multi
farious interests, finds itself grudg
ingly inclined to follow the will OF
the President, and Mr.. Harding is
being told that success on SO difficult
a legislative proposition as ship sub
sjdy will enhance his prestige anc
make possible the adoption of Other
party measures.
Few things have taken more OF
Mr.. Harding's time since he became
president than the shipping muddle
He is convinced that Chairman A. ID
Lasker has brought order out OF
chaos and has placed the shippin;e pr;
Board on a systematic basis. Evi'
dence of this is the fact that on July
/, every debt of the board will have
been liquidated with the exception o.
the suits now in the courts Whlcf
may take years to adjudicate.

La TOILETTE HITS
rule BY COURTS
Sovereignty Wrested From
People," Senator Tells
Labor Convention.
By the Associated Press.


CINCINNATI. June 14-Asserting
that by a process of gradual en-
croachments" the federal courts of the
country have "wrested sovereignty
from the people" Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin. in an address here today
before the American Federation of
Labor convention. proposed an amend
ment to the Constitution denying the
power of lower courts to set aside a
federal law as unconstitutional, and
providing for the notification of any
such decision by the Supreme Court
by re-enactment of the statute.
Citing the recent decision of the
Supreme Court holding unconStitution-
al the child labor tax law as typical
of the conduct of the federal judiciary,
and particularly the Supreme Court,
whenever Congress has sought to enact
progressive and humane legislation
which was offensive to great financial
interests Senator La Toilette declared
the supreme tribunal of the country
was to-day the actual ruler of the
American people"
\ Constitution Held FaIIncy.
THE law is what they say it is
the Wisconsin senator continued land
not what the people through Congress
enact. Even the Constitution of the
United States is not what it's plain
terms declare, but what these nine men
construe it to be. In fact, five of these
nine men are actually the supreme
rulers, for by a bare ma jority the court
has repeatedly overridden the will of
the people.
"The nine lawyers who constitute
the Supreme Court are placed in po-
sitions of power for life, not by the
votes of the people. but by presl-
Dental appointment. Ex-President
Taft was made Chief Justice by
President Harding. Thus man was
invested with the enormous prestige
and influence of Chief Justice by
presidential appointment, who had
been repudiated by the voters of the
United States on his record. No one
elected Chief Justice by vote of the
people. And yet Chief Justice Taft
wrote the opinion that annulled the
child labor law; he wrote the opinion
in the Coronado Coal Company case.
In making this observation 1 level no
criticism at the personnel of the
court. 1 am not concerned with per7
sonalities. I am dealing with funda-
mentals."

of the minor federal judges, sharing

ened men, some of them. notably
Judge Anderson of Indiana and Judge
McClintic of West Virginia, have, IN
my opinion, shown themselves to be
petty tyrants and arrogant despots.
