The law, which was adopted by a

Kid Mccoy Guilty Manslaughter
in Staying of Mrs. Mors Last August
TRUST FUNDS HELD
BY new HAMPSHIRE
BADLY DEPLETED

Concord, n. H., Mar. ia short
age In state of New Hampshire
trust funds of s749,130, of which the
state has actually collected and used
for other purposes $685., 913, was re-
Vealed in a report presented tonight
by Governor John C. Winant and a
special joint committee of the legis-
lature. The report was the result
of an audit made at the request OF
the committee which was appointed
by house and senate at the instance
of Governor Winant.
The audit indicated that over 2
period of more than 80 years the
state followed a trust policy full of
Inconsistencies and irregularities. u
The report says that from time to
time the principal of New Hampshire
trust funds had been diverted to the
state treasury and expended for uses
other than those specified in the
original requests. Throughout this
period interest has always been paid
to beneficiaries, however.
The Benjamin Thompson Trust
fund for the benefit of the University
of New Hampshire has been the
heaviest sufferer. the report said.
The audit indicated that while the
fund should now total $797,1S1, Sc
curities on hand amount to only
$230,906. The report recommends
that legally and morally the state
now Is bound to restore at once
these trust funds to their proper
totals by cash if such be available
In the state treasury and if not by
borrowing the money"

PRESENT SESSION
PROMISES TO Be EZRA
OF GOOD FEEL|NC'''

The SIND session of the Maine
Legislature will make a record for
harmony, in the opinion of those
who have followed it's activities up
to the beginning of the 18th week.
IT is true that there have been
differences of opinion regarding
measures and the most advisable
way OF handling them. But there
have been no breaches Of the peace
and no all night wrangles between
sessions OF the Legislature.
The utmost good feeling has pre-
vailed between the Governor and
the members of the Legislature. no
quarrel has come between the House
and the Senate and when debate
and roll calls have come over vario is
measures. members on the one side
and the other have been willing to
give and take and have respected
each others viewpoint when they
have not agreed with it.
BY the close of the present week
it can DE determined quite accurate
ly whether the final adjournment of
the Legislature session will come on
April 4 or a week later. If a con-
siderable number of the pending
measures. such as the resolves relat-
ing to the expenditure of public
money for public purposes and the
highway measures are finally dispos-
ed of or on their way to passage this
week, then adjournment may be pos
sible as early as April f, otherwise
another week Is likely to be required.
Plans are likely to be made this
week which will give definite shape
10 the financial program of the Leg
islature. which it is generally under
stood will be an economical one. In
that matter, too, a harmonious spirit
is being noted, and some of the law
makers who are very earnest for the
passage of certain appropriations for
institutions and other matters in
which they are interested are al
ready taking the ground that they
are willing to have the appropria-
lions curtailed if such curtailment
falls in accord with a general policy.

State school for feeble minded at
West Pownla. This report was tab

able report on the resolve appropri-
ating $4,000 for each of the two
coming fiscal years for a new heat

Court Limits Power
Federal Trade Com.
In Certain Inquiries

Washington, March 16.-1n the
first of a series of decisions expect
ed to define more clearly the powers
of congress in conducting investi-
cations, the supreme court held in
effect today the federal trade COM
mission, even though acting under
a senate resolution, could not COM
Eel business concerns to permit ac-
cess to books and records in inquiry
designed to provide data for legisla-
tive consideration.
In handing down the opinion. the
court affirmed the decision of the
federal district court at Baltimore
denying the commission access to
the records of Hammond, Snyder
and Company, the Baltimore Grain
Company and the H. c. Jones Com
pany, all of Maryland, which 1t had
sought in an investigation to deter
mine the causes operating in for
eign markets to affect the prices of
grain.
The companies insisted the COM
missions demand proposed unlaw-
full search and seizure and argued
in. the district court that, while it
was acting under a resolution of the
senate, it was on FISHING eXpedi-
liOu tdiI6 lbAC AhCeI CD ~
just what the papers and bonds of
the firm contained.
The district court held, in the
opinion affirmed today, that the sem
ate could not clothe the commission
with authority to inspect the papers
and books of corporations and 9TH
ers engaged in interstate and foreign
commerce except in connection with
a specific charge of violation of the
law. The courts, it declared, would
carefully inquire, however, into the
demands of investigative government
tai or congressional agencies to de-
termine, in each case, whether the
search and seizure proposed was
lawful.
The federal trade commission, the
court said. possessed investigative
rights over particular corporations
under specified conditions, but it did
not have the authority to investigate
general conditions in trade and in
dustry. even though the senate by
resolution directed it to do so.

Emergency Clause
On Moose Law Act
SURPRISES Sen. Maher

The act continuing the protection
of moose, which has been on the table
since March II, was taken from the
table this afternoon and had been
quietly passed to be enacted when
Senator Hinckley of Cumberland rose
to inquire il it were not an emer-
gency measure.
1.-THE chair is surprised to find that
it is" replied President Buzzell after
a moments study of the bill, and
was about to call for a division Of
the Senate on the measure when
Senator Maher of Kennebec asked
that the emergency preamble might
be read.
The preamble declares that the
present law protecting moose will ex-
pire on July Z, 1925; that it is desir-
able to have the, law ,un continuous
ly; that the new law might not auto
matically become effective by that
date; and that therefore it is desir-
able that it be passed as an emer-
gency act.
ut strikes me as going about the
limit on the emergency clause" de-
clared the Kennebec Senator, and on
his motion the matter was retabled.
