wted today to confer in Washington

Norfolk base be transferred from
the War Department to the Shipping
Board through the issuance of an
executive order to that effect.

quate facilities for it's vessels from

the story was covered.

ing stand. where II. X. Philips of

adds" and put into type. The

ment the parade ended.

HIS RIGHT
Claims He Went Beyond Au-

to Sell Dye Patents.
By the Associated Press.

WILMINGTON. Del. June 6.-The
authority of the courts and how far
they may go in reviewing the acts
of Congress or Of the Executive was
the subject of argument at today's
session of the United States district
court, which is hearing the suit of
the government for the return of
German patents sold to the Chemical
Foundation, Inc. The patents, trade
erty, seized by the alien property
custodian during the world war,
worth many millions of dollars, the
government complains, were sold for
an inadequate sum.
One of the points in dispute in the
| case was that put forward by the
government that President Wilson
| exceeded his authority In delegatins
| power 10 another TO act for him In
the sale OF seized property.
William D. Guthrie. chief counsel
| for the defense. took up the argu-
| ment. He held that the decision
asked for by the prosecution in this

| cially in the event OF war 1t would
seriously handicap President Hard

necessary for him to confront the

proper thing, highly unseennly, highly
! against the best interests Of the

contained in this bill, that he did not

not properly investigate, that 1t was
his duty TO investigate, and that he
might have reached some wiser con-
| clusion."
Mr.. Guthrie reviewed the proceed

DECISION DELAYED
! ON ALLEY CLOSING
Justice Bailey Takes Ques-
tion Under Amusement After
Hearing Arguments.

The question of the validity OF the
elley-cIosing law was argued today
before Justice Jennings Bailey of the
District Supreme Court in two cases
by Corporation Counsel Stephens In
support of the enactment, and by
Attorneys Frank S. Smith for Clar-
ence F. Norment, and by Attorneys
Cullen, Finucane and Cusick for the
Lockwood heirs, owners OF property
occupied as residences in alleys.
Chief Justice Mccoy had heard the
argument in the Lockwood case some
weeks ago. but because of the fact
that he was in Congress when legis-
lation along these lines was under
consideration he preferred not to pass
on the matter. Justice Bailey took
the question under advisement.
Corporation Coupsel Stephens
claimed that the act Is plainly within
the police power and pointed out that
he had interpreted to the commits
sioners his, view of the law that
dwellings were not prohibited unless
the alley in question fails in al the
conditions enumerated In the par
ticular cases, he claimed, the houses
are prohibited even under his liberal
view Of the law because not equipped
with water or lighted by gas or cleo
triclty.
Counsel for the owners contended
that the conditions of the law refer
to the alleys and not to the dwellings
and that IL the alley Is supplied with
water. sewer and gas. the dwelling
is not prohibited. ANY other con-
struction of the law, they claimed.
would make Illegal house lighted
by lamps.
Mr.. Stephens urged that il is not
sufficient under the law that gas ard
water mains be in the alley but that
the connections be made with thc
houses and such conveniences avail
able In the dwellings,. He claimed the
law iS u health measure anu that
Congress was legislating as 10 dwell
tngs OF unsanitary condition in alleys.

feed IN the morning and a. evening,
at which time .they utter loud and
shrili cries. Their food consists Of
