maternity LAW
CASE APPEALED
Supreme Court Asked to Pass on
Sheppard -Towner
Act.

A brief was filed in the Suprne
Court today by Harriet A. Frothing-
ham, appellant, VS.. Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and others, in a case
involving the constitutionality of the
maternity act on appeal from the
Court Of Appeals Of the District or
Columbia, which tribunal upheld the
constitutionaIity of the act.
The question also is being tested
in a suit brought by the state OF
Massachusetts. The appellant con-
tends first that the so-called Shep-
pard -Towner act is invalid because
it attempts to authorize the appro-
rriation of money out OF the Treas
ury for purposes outside any au-
thority or power conferred by the
Constitution.
She contends also that the act is
unconstitutional and void because its
provisions go beyond the exercise OF
such power of appropriation and con-
stitute substantive legislation with
respect to matters manifestly beyond
the legislative power conferred upon
the Congress by the Constitution, and
that the act is invalid because 1t
amounts to a delegation to sub
ordinate agency by Congress of legis-
lative power, in violation of the Con-
stitution.

benjamin Purnell has taught his
religious creed SO as TO cause some
of the female members of the colony
to submit themselves to him" the
judges decision read. In the name of
religion he persistently has betrayed
a considerable number of credulous
and trusting young girls and women.
Because of the secrecy enjoined by
him on his victims, knowledge of his
relations with them did not extend
to the members of the society. eX-
ceptinG a relatively small number ="
Whether the evidence of the plain
tiffs or that of the defendants be con
sidered alone, "a low moral tone
existed in the colony and had gone
unpunished and i'll almost all cases
unrebuked, the judges decision de-
clared. The judge said he was certain

petty thefts, but immoral practices
had been carried out.
