FOREIGN LANGUAGE
STATE LAWS VOID
U. S. Supreme Court Says
School Teaching Cannot
Be Restricted.

The United States Supremt Court
yesterday declared void state stat
utes which would prohibit the teach
ing or use of foreign languages in
all schools below the eighth grade
as an unlawful encroachment upon
the rights conferred by the fourteenth
amendment, which provides that mo
state shall deprive any person
Of life, liberty or property without
due process of law" Justice Holmes
delivered a dissenting opinion, in
which Justice Sutherland Joined.
The question was presented to the
braska and Ohio. Eighteen other
states with similar statutes partici-
pated.
Justice McReynolds, who delivered
the majority opinion. asserted that
the fourteenth amendment without
doubt denotes not merely freedom
from bodily restraint. but also the
right of the individual to contract, to
engage in any of the common occu-
pations of life, to acquire useful
knowledge, to marry, establish a
home and bring up children. to wor-
ship God according to the dictates OF
his own conscience. and generally to
enjoy those privileges long recoS-
nized at common law as essential &c
the orderly pursuits of happiness "
free men,"
This liberty, the court added, can
not be interferred with under the
guise of protecting the public Ater-
est by Legislative action which is
arbitrary or without REASONABLE rela-
tion to some purpose within the com
potency of the state to effect. Final
determination of what constitutes
proper exercise of police power is
with the courts. Justice McT;eynolds
asserted, and does not rest with the
legislatures of the states.

SENTIMENT DIVIDED
ON BOND OUTLOOK
Quotations Little Changed
Today-Foreign Issues
Still Remain Strong.
BY GEORGE T.. HUGHES.

NEW YORK. June 5.-For the most
part bond quotations were little
changed today. Sentiment as to the
long range outlook was divided.
Although prices have been slowly
advancing for the last two months
many traders held that the rally was
only temporary and that with increas-
ing demands on the money supply in
the fall the downward movement in
bonds would be resumed The Har-
ward economic service was quoted as
supporting this view. 1t was also
pointed out that the banks still hold
large amounts in bonds which IL they
should come upon the market would
nave depressing influence.
Status of Foreign Issues.
1t was admitted that foreign issues
were subject to special influence In
the majority of cases foreign bonds
sen TO give such large return that
market conditions. And no matter
what the tenor of news dispatches
from abroad is. the Wall street view
remains optimistic of an early settle
ment of the reparation tangle. This
optimism is reflected in the frmness
of the French and other continental
bonds. Notwithstanding periodic
weakness in the exchanges. At any
dtV iIc ItlSI were lnP only
ones in which any considerable in
terest on the buying side was shown
today. Advances were only fractional.
but the general tone was good City
of Zurich SIS were especially well
bought. Among the South American
issues there was strength in Bolivia
IS and Argentina 5s.
High grade rails and industrials were
practically unchanged. United States
government loans were slightly high
er, but very dull.
Price Change Uneven.
The middle grade and speculative
bonds moved irregularly. There was
weakness In Virginia Carolina IS and
in the Chicago Railway 5s, but in both
cases the reason was a special one
Among the rails St. Paul issues were
firm, with the greatest advance in the
convertible AIS. There was also a
good demand for the General Mort
gage As, the 412s and ~. These, how
ever, are in fair way to regain their
!, former investment position consider
ing the improving earning .,ower of
the st. Pauls.
Great interest was manifested in the
report that the Cuban government
would back a part of the $50. 90, 900 is
sue of 5h per cent bonds offered
in January at SsA. The reason assign
ed for the return of part of the
bonds was the great improvement in
the Cuban financial situation. II is no
secret in Wall street, however. that
the price at which the bonds were
originally brought out was generally
considered well above the market.
