GROSSMAN'S CASE
Is SET FOR DEC.:l
Presidents Right to Pardon
Chicagoan to Be Argued
in High Court.

The pardoning power of the Presi-
dent, as raised in the case Of Philip
Grossman coming from Chicago. will,
under present plans, be argued before
the Supreme Court December 1. The
case has attracted wide attention be-
cause 1t is based upon the theory ad-
vanced by Federal Judges In Chicago
that persons held under contempt by
courts are outside the pale Of execu-
tive clemency.
Solicitor General Beck will appear
to uphold the action of President
Coolidge in the Grossman case. and
is expected to make a strong argu-
ment In support of the contention that
the constitutional power of executive
clemency applies to all Federal
prisoners. Amos C. Miller and T..
Bruce tombstone, prominent Chicago
attorneys, have been appointed spe-
cfal assistants to the Attorney Gem
eral to represent the other side Of
the controversy.
They will contend in support Of the
position taken by Judges Carpenter
and Wilkerson, that President Cool
idge had no authority to pardon per-
son sentenced for contempt of court.
Sentenced by Lnndis.
Grossman was originally sentenced
ly Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands
for violating a prohibition paddock in
junction. He took his case to the
Supreme Court. which, refused to re-
view 1t. When he was about to be
committed to the Chicago House Of
Correction President Coolidge pardoned
him. Judges Carpenter and Wilkerson
ordered Grossman's arrest, notwith-
standing the action taken by the Presi-
dent. their position being that Gross
mans offense had constituted contempt
of court and that the President was
without authority to interfere.
Grosspan promptly appealed to the
Supreme Court for a writ Of habeas
corpus. and it is upon that appeal that
the hearing has been set for Decem-
Der /.

agency the government is thus con-
tributing materially 10 its plan for the
building up of nltrogel industry in
the United States which will make Us
Independent in time Of war and secure
in time Of peace.
ITO such enterprises the govern
ment owes the same generous treat
ment which will benefit any private
company or individual that may ac-
quire Muscle Shoals. out of smaller
plants to which reference is made
there may grow future large develop
ments and new centers ot technical
experience always important, for they
involve the development of trained
personnel.
"Since the assistance of the govern
ment, which is principally research
and advice, is necessary in the estah-
lishment of nitrogen industry, ii
should be effectively applied to the
whole industry. Therefore. following
the ultimate disposition of Muscle
Shoals, the least the government may
effectively do will be 10 continue the
research program TO which II is al
ready committed. for which funds have
been appropriated, and the results OF
which will benefit all alike"

Nitrogen Supply
Is Now Assured

n state of total ignorance of many Of
the more important features of the
nitrogen fiXation industry TO position
of prominence among those nations
which have been fostcting the air
nitrogen industry for & much longer
period. While ii is trus that we have
no large production at the present
time. yet in case of emergency the
country can now proceed with conf
dence 10 erect large plants which
would have an enormous output.
THE plant at Muscle Shoals proves
To be an entire success from the tech
nical standpoint. 1t has, during a six
weeks test, produced flxed nitrogen
from the air in the amount for which
it was designed and could resume
equally satisfactory operations at any
time. While it is true that the total
capacity is 10000 tons Of nitrogen per
year, this output is but small frac-
tiOn of the nitrogen consumed yearly
in this country.
"A further source of fixed nitrogen
is in sight from the numerous smaller
private plants which are being planned
or are actually under construction.
These enterprises are securing coop
GRAFTON and valuable technical nfor-
nation and advice from the fixed
nitrogen research laboratory, which

Moreover, the laboratory dias deter

The cats are the offspring of tame
cats abandoned by summer residents.
In summer they feed on young birds,
squirrels, rabbits and chipmupKs and
make their homes in hollow tree

grow larger and their fur becomes

McDuff Commended For Quick Thinking In <
 Battle

Clint Dunn, 26OO Twenty-sixth street, north, who was seriously wound ed Saturday night in a gun battle with M. D. McDuff, superintendent of the city bureau of Identification and son of Chief Fred McDnff, spent a quiet day Sunday at the Norwood hospital, aceoHiine t0 his attendants. e
 Dunn was shot through the jaw by the detective and was in q very weak condition from the loss of blood He escaped from the officer after the shoot ing and was nearly two hours in reach ing the hospital. However, attendants believe that he will recover unless com plications set in. /t
 The gun battle between Dunn and McDuff followed the formers being placed under arrest by the officer for attempting to draw a gun on pas senger on the outbound 10:20 street car. McDuff showed Dunn his badge and grabbed for his gun.
 This led to a tussel on the crowded street car, with each trying to get the others gun. McDuff finally succeeded in forcing his prisoner from the street car to the street. where Dunn broke away and ran. When ordered to stop, Dunn ansered with bullet, McDuff said.
 McDuff returned the fire and wound ed Dunn in the mouth. After being shot, Dunn threw himself behind bar rel and fired four more shots at the officer and slipped away in the dark ness. He was found about 12:30 o'clock at the Norwood hospital.
 McDuff was warmly commended by his brother officers for his presence of mind in grabbing Dunn's gun on the car and preventing the shooting there. Both would have been killed, and prob ably several passengers killed or wound ed, they said,
