INVESTIGATOR GETS
 40 DAYS IN JAIL
Mackenzie Represented Himself
 as Sociological Student

New Haven, Sept, s.--Forty days in the New Haven jail was the sem tence meted out in the police court yesterday to Dudley shannon Mac kensie, 20, who, posing as an inves- tigator of sociology, was charged with passing fraudulent checks on four local merchants. Mackenzie was arrested at his room in Yale dormitory where he had "a card record of results of his investiga- tion of local institutions. He had announced his intention to enter the Yale divinity school this fall. But the police found him packing a suit case which he had obtained by the passage Of one of the checks and making other preparations to leave the city. a.W.
 Mackenzie made a long statement to the court in which he told Of his experiences here, He insisted that hisssoe purpose in passing the checks was to get sinto jail, where he could carry on his investigations of the institution. It appeared that he had consulted with Yale faculty member who had given him some advice as to his sociological investi- gations. He claimed when arrested thatthe Yale man had advised him to get arrested in order to secure intimate experience as a jail inmate.
 Mackenzie also stated that he was resident of Washington, D. C., that his home address was 7O1 Shepard street in that city, and that he had been student at oberlin' college, oberlin, O. He told some of the merchants who cashed checks for him that he had mother in Salt Lake City who was to send him large remittance.

if this income can be maintained the remainder of the year, as freight revenues have declined, Increased hauling of coal during the fall, how ever, may help the line to break even" or better, financially, so that at the end of the year net profit may remain. This would be quite an achievement compared with the record of recent years,
 On the other hand, if the New Haven cannot make money with its present high rates its case is hope less.
 The high rates may not continue.

THE SUPREME COTRT

The attack on the third party plat form by President Coolidge and John w. Davis hits a vulnerable spot when 1t takes up the La Toilette ads voeacy of placing decisions of congress above those of the supreme court as to the constitutionaIity of laws.
 This matter is fundamental and of such simplicity that no one should deceive himself regarding the results of adopting the radical plan of eliminating the functioning of the supreme court as at present part of our system of government.
 The supreme court has no unjust powers; it merely prevents laws framed by congress from infringing, upon the basic law or the constitu- ton. That Is its prime function. The power" of declaring a law unconsti- tutional is merely the prevention of congress overriding the limitations placed upon it by the constitution.
 The constitution was adopted by the states as the foundation of the liberty upon which the republic was built, and in it were placed the basic laws under which the federal gov ernment was to function. Congress, called into being through these basic laws, certainly cannot pass laws superseding or conflicting with the principles of government already in the constitution. The constitution is the tree trunk. and congress is one of the branches
 This is our system of government, with which the original IS states , started and to which the entire galaxy of commonwealths agree to this day. It manifestly cannot be that congress itself Is to judge whether or not the laws it passes are consti- tutional. as it in all cases wogld be prejudiced in favor of itself. An i'm partial tribunal is necessary for this purpose, and this tribunal Is the supreme court.
 The La Toilette platform, adopted at Cleveland would make decision of the supreme court regarding the invalidation of law. reviewable by congress, and if two-thirds of the congressional membership favored overriding the courts verdict the veto could be set aside. This is not according to the constitution and was never 80 intended by its framers, Before such a change in method could take effect the constitution would have to be amended, S6 state legislatures concurring. There is manifestly no likelihood of this taking place,
 There is considerable opposition to decisions of the supreme court as to congressional enactmentS when the inyalidation of a law is the result of five to four vote of the members of the court. This is a different mat ter entirely. It will be remembered the first child labor law was declared unconstitutional through a five to four vote of the supreme court which means that one man on the court invaidated the law. To make constitutional change requiring a two-thirds vote, or six to three, be- fore law could be found uncensti- tntional. perhaps would meet with considerable approval; most cer- tainly, it would be no radical innova- tion threatening the foundations of our form of government, but would merely be an amendment Of the existing process.

DOCK WORKERS TO
 GO BACK TO WORK
Every Indication Of Settlement
 Is Seen

LONDON, Feb. 24.--lBy the Asso- ciated Press.l There seems every prospect tonight that the strike of the dock workers will be settled tomorrow and that work in the ports will be re- sumed Tuesday. Mass meetings of dock CTS were held today at all ports to dis cuss the terms of settlement accepted by their delegates in conference with the employers.
 At Liverpool, Glasgow. Bristol, Hull and some of the smaller ports the dock CTS all voted strongly in favor of ac- ceptance of the terms. A meeting of 5000 dockers also voted for acceptance, but the attitude of all the London men is less certain. The Blue union men held meeting at which it was re- solved to continue the strike for half crown day advance in wages. It is said, however, that the action of the Blue union will not prevent general settlement of the trouble should the men in the remaining ports come into line.
 The terms for the proposed settle ment are considered very favorable to the men. With an additional shilling a day to be granted them next June they will be earning F shillings daily and there will be no reduction in this sum. The agreement is not limited in duration. but it may be terminated by either side on one months notice.
