The California Canneries Company.
through Attorney Frank J. Hogan,
sought to intervene in the packers
case on the claim that the court
lacked Jurisdiction to make the decree,
even though it was consented to by
the defendants and that Armour &
Co.. had a contract with the can
neries company by which 1t was to
take and dispose of about $4,000, 600
worth annually Of the output of the
CdHneTleS.
In holding that the canneries COM
pany should be permitted to inter
vene. Justice Van Orsdel suggests
that If the consent decree was made
for the purpose of enabling Armour
g. Co. to avoid this contractural obli-
cation. then the court was used as an
instrument to perpetrate a fraud. and
the decree would have no legal force.
"On the other hand says the court.
'tif We assume, as we must, that the
decree was intended to restrain Ar
mour G. Co. from doing the things
therein enumerated. the effect there
of is to deprive the appellant Of it's
rights under the contract without
first giving it a day in court"
The case was before the Appellate
Court on the petition of the canneries
Company, which was strenuously op-
posed by the Department Of Justice,
upholding tie validity of the consent
decree. Counsel for the packers con-
tended that the decree is a nullity.
Counsel for the two big wholesale
grocers' associations asserted the
validity of the decree. and the petit
tion to intervene was opposed by
counsel representing the Farmers

VIENNA, June 2.-Dr. Ignatz Seipel,
thet Austrian chancellor, was the coolest
man in his encourage when he was shot
Sunday at the railroad station by
would-be assassin.

The attempted assassination sent

from his home expressly to board a train
and follow the chancellor to Vienna.

which leads TO sthe belief that he is a
member of political conspiracy. In
hisIpocket was found a small sum OF
money, a long sharp knife and a card
of the Social Democratic party. also
HIS picture in the garb Of sailor in
the Austrian navy.
Chancellor Seipel completed two
years as head of the Austrian govern
ment on SATURDAY. the day before he
was shot. During this period he
da red what others in Austria turned
away from. He, with his personal
strength alone. put through the
League of nations loan.
For two years he has successfully
defended Austria against neighboring
states and even more dangerous in
ternal enemies.
Press Inimicai.
The attempt to assassinate the chan
celior can be laid directly to the door
Of political opponents and an inimical
press, which contended that the high
cost of living was due to Seipel's and
the leagues reconstruction work. AS
a matter of fact, the conditions are
due to Socialist obstruction to the de-
crease in the number of state en-
ployes.
An example of the attitude of the
papers is provided by Der Abend,
which published this ironical greet
Ing on the occasion of Seipers ami
versary in Office:
.sOur greetings to the man OF the
people and the priest who embraces
each class with the same love Who
would greet each class so justly as

Without Chancellor Seipel's strong
hand on the helm. it is question
how the small Austrian ship of state
will weather the storm. There isn't
n single man in sight to take his
peace.

ter. reports that more than $4,000
Japanese agriculturistS with ample
means are ready to emigrate from
California. where they are residing,
because of prohibition against con-
tinuing leases or buying lands in the

sentative has been comforting with
the Japanese ambassador in Washing
ton, who desires to learn whether the
Mexican government objects to the
arrival of these colonists in Mexico for
the purpose of dedicating themselves
to agriculture.
Various Latin American governments
have made proposals along similar lines.
Because OF the great Importance OF the
matter the Governors of Colima. Nay
art. Snalea, Sonora and .Iallsco have
lcen asked to give their opinions. since
the Japanese colonists prefer lands in
these regions.
When the opinions are received the
