KELLOGG FILES
KAROLYI BRIEF

Entry into the United States Of
Countess Catherine Karolyi. wife
of the first president Of the Hun
garian republic, would be preju-
diciaI to the best interests Of the
country, Secretary Of State Kellogg
today told the District or Columbia
Supreme Court.
He asked for dismissal Of TIE
petition compelling him TO grant
q passport to the Countess, whose
entry has been blocked by the
State Department.
Secretary kellogg admits that he
instructed the American consul at
Paris to revoke his signature to q
document In the nature Of a pass
port presented by the countess, as
sorting that the titled foreigner IL
subject to exclusion under the pass
port control act of May ~, 1918.
The Secretary also points out
erection the decision OF what per-
sons are to be excluded from entry
into the United States.
Having considered the evidence
presented to him concerning the
c0ianfess, the secretary said he
reached the conclusion that she
should be excluded. He declares
that this decision II not renewable
by the court.
Represented by District Attorney
Peyton Gordon and his first as-
sistant, Leo Rover, Secretary Kel-
logg asserts that the act Of Con-
gress makes it his duty to keep out
undesirable aliens.

diction to determine upon appeal
the reasonableness OF all assess
ments, tax levies or service charges,
as in the case Of Public Service
Corporations, upon the written
complaint of anyone financially in
terested therein, under such regu.
lations as said Public Service Com.
mission may from time to time or.
der and provide. All appeals shall
be taken with so days from the
date OF the PRONUNCIATION or levy
OF any such assessment. tax levy
or service charge by said Sanitary
Commission.
This section, ii our opinion
places your commission In very
much the same position as that OF
d court ~ law to which an ap.
peal Is taken from an order OF
your commission except that the
appeal In the present case is con.
fined TO the reasonableness OF the
assessments, tax levies or service
charges, etc.
I'm other words, the Sanitary
Commission il the executory body
with power and authority to fix
and establish rates and charges
while your commission has merely
the power and authority to deter
mine whether or not they are rea-
sonable. The two powers are quite
distinct. 1t Is easy to imagine O
situation wherein a charge fixed
by the Sanitary Commission would
be a different one from that which
your commission would have fixed
had IT the original rate making
power. but still be a reasonable
one.
IF, upon appeal, your commits
sion found this to be the case, 1t
would be obliged to leave the rate
undisturbed.
Power Is Limited
1T, therefore, follows that the
power of your commission is limit.
ed to deciding whether or not what
might be termed basic rates, that
is. the charge per front foot, the
charge per hundred gallon, the
charge for connections In q given
district or zone are reasonable, and
does not embrace the right to de-
termine whether or not specific
charges in specific instances are
justly made.
For example, in one Of the cases

tain residents of Hyattsville should
not be made to bear a $32 per con-
nection charge. It Is not within
your jurisdiction to pass upon the
legality of the charge, but simply to
determine whether or not under the
circumstances $32 is a reasonable
amount. Likewise, il is not for
your commission to pass upon the
authority of the Sanitary Commits.
sion to raise the front foot charge
from 1Oc to 13c, but merely to de.
eide upon the reasOnableness Of the
new rate.
There is only one other ques
ton involved in the records upon
which we think it necessary to
touch. and that is in regard to The
classification of property. Not only
does the act creating the Sanitary
Commission and amendments there
TO make the rulings of the SAM
tary Commission final, but we feel
shat the reasonings set forth above
apply We, therefore, do not think
that your Commission can be in
voked to pass upon the classified
ton Of the Sanitary Commission
but merely to pass upon the relativ
ity Of the rates charged the va

Joe Pluth has written series of
outdoor stories on this section and
the same will be put on the air
from Station w L S, Chicago.
The outdoor talks will be given
beginning on Tuesday, April IL,

Milo Westbrooke, manager of the

written Mr.. Pluth very personal
letter in which he asked for more
stories such as those written by Mr..
Pluth for broadcasting purposes.
The Exposition this year will be
held from May 10 to 16. Ely will

MINNESOT NEGLECTS
MAPLE SUGAR CROP.

Vermont is known as the maple
sugar state, but according to Par
ker Anderson, extension forester of
the university, Minnesota has
enough hard or sugar maple trees
to make itself Independent of any
of the New Esgland states produc-
ing maple strip, sugar and wax.
With the flow of sap only few
days away, Mr.. Anderson urges the
farmers having hard naples to get
the first flow which is of superior
quality to that taken after. A tree
properly tapped in a good sap flow
ing season can be made to produce
as much revenue as the average
fruit tree, he says. Only a few
thousand gallons of maple sirup are
harvested in Minnesota yearly. This
amount is far below our require
ments or possibilities.
An average maple tree in a good
season will yield three pounds of
sugar. Experiments in northern
Minnesota showed that 80 gallons
of sap will make one gallon of strip
or seven and one-half pounds of
sugar. One hundred trees, there
fore, ought to produce 800 pounds
of sugar, which, at present market
prices, becomes an important farm
resource.
The hard maple is found in most
sections of Minnesota except the
prairie sections. There are many
groves of this splendid tree in
northern and southeastern districts
and in lake districts of the east
central part of hte state. ~
