CAROL TO BE WARNED.
Will Be Told Not to Return, Ruman.
ian Papers Say.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, November
% R).-Former Crown Prince Carol is
to be warned by ex-Premier Bratiano,
it reported in the press, against any
thought Of returning to Rumania in
hope Of regaining his right of success
sion to the throne, which he renounced
last January.
NJ. Bratiano's visit to Paris to see
Carol, it is asserted, was decided upon
at a recent secret party meeting.
King Ferdinands doctors expect to
decide this week whether an operation
is advisable. If so, the noted surgeon,
LIE Senne, is in readiness.
A Paris dispatch last Saturday, tell
ing of Bratiano's proposed visit here,
said it was expected his conference
with Carol would be attended by
Queen Marie, and that momentous de-
cisions concerning the Rumanian sue
cession might be taken.
Carol, it was said, was prepared to
resume his title and prerogatives only
If popular sentiment demanded 1t. I'm
der no consideration, 1t was added,
would he be willing TO disturb the
peace of his native land and risk
civil war in order to regain his rights.

ASK MARKET SITE
IN TRIANGLE AREA
Commissioners Want Farm
ers' Utility Included in Bill
Going to Congress.

The Public Buildings Commission
will be asked by the District Commls-
sionrs to include authorization for a
site for the farmers produce market
in the bill it will draw up providing
for the purchase Of the property in the
Pennsylvania avenue triangle on
which it is proposed to erect the new
Government buildings.
The relocation of the farmers pro-
duce market was given lengthy con-
sideration by the Commissioners at
their semi-weekly board meeting today,
and as a result it was decided that
provision for the new site should be
incorporated in the commissions bill.
The Commissioners, however, will not
stipulate in the bill where they believe
the site should be located, but will
make public their recommendations on
this subject when Congress begins con-
sideration of the measure.
The views of the Commissioners
will be transmitted to Senator Smoot
Of Utah, chairman of the commission,
in a letter which Daniel E. Garges,
the secretary to the Board of Com
missioners, was instructed to prepare.
Consideration also was given by,
the Commissioners to the need of
additional accommodations for the
District Building. The Commissioners,
it was explained, are anxious to ac-
quire the square lying directly south
of the present building for an addi-
ton, but in view of the plans of the
Public Buildings Commission to use
this property for one of the proposed
new Federal Buildings they may be
forced to consider the purchase of
the Southern Railway Building ad-
joining the District Building on the
East.
A report prepared by Commissioner
Bell showed that the new assessment
on this building and the ground it
occupies totals $1,749, 900. The Com
missioners, however, do not believe
that the property can be acquired at
this price.

NEW VANDERBILT
.ANNULMENT SEEN
Mrs. William K, 3D., Said to
Be Having Catholic Tribuna!
Void Her Marriage. =
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fresS.
NEW YORK, November 23.-So-
ciety, still discussing the annulment of
the marriage of Consuoto Vanderbilt
to the Duke Of Marlborough, was star
tied today by information that Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, I'd, is having
her marriage nullified by the Rota tri.
bunal, the Supreme Court of the
Catholic Church, in Rome.
This information was contained in q
dispatch to the World from Beatrice
Baskerville, a staff correspondent in
Rome. The dispatch said that Mrs.
Vanderbilt had made plea for annul-
ment. alleging coercion was used at
the time of her marriage in 1899 to
the eldest son of the late William Kis.
sam Vanderbilt, who also was the ia
ther of Consuelo Vanderbilt.
Decree Reported Withheld.
The plea, the correspondent asserts,
has been thoroughly examined by the
Rota and it has been decided to grant
the annulment on the ground of coer.
cion, but the decree is being withheld
for a time because of the great public
ity which has surrounded the Marl-
borough case.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, who at present is
in Paris, is understood by the CORE
spondent in Rome to have been re-
quested to deny the annulment for the
time being. and it is asserted that
there would be no untruth in such a
denial, as the actual sentence has not
yet been set down in writing, although
the three Rota judges have decided to
grant the plea.
When the worlds correspondent in
Paris tried to question Mrs. Wander
bilt there she sent him this message,
Husband Denies knowledge.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, when seen in New
York and shown the Rome dispatch
before publication, read it carefully
and said: Honestly, this is the first
I've heard of it. I don't know any
thing about it." He added that the
plea might have been made outside
New York without his knowledge.
Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, I'd, was Vir.

TRADE EB0DYLOSE
IN PACKING CASE
Supreme Court UphoIdS Right
of Companies to Buy Ad-
djtionaI Plants.

The Federal Trade Commission lost
it's main contention today In a nsn.
before the Supreme Court to curtain
the purchase of additional pacK'hs
plants by Swift & Co, in Alabama
and Georgia.
The decision was hailed as VIC
tory for those manufacturers ana
others which have been vigorously dls'
p,,tine the claims of the commission
that it had authority to prevent tnenl
from acquiring properties OF concerns
engaged in the same line of business
when the commission considered such
ACQUISITION would restrict competition
involved in the decision also were
the rights of the Thatcher Manulac-
turing Co. to sell the Essex and other
plants manufacturing milk bottles IN
New York State, and the western
Meat Co, to dispose of the plant or the
Nevada Packing Co. The companies
were upheld.
Meat Decision Reversed.
The court ruled, however, that the
Western Meat Co. must dispose of the
Nevada plant under the commission's
order because it was obtained while
the Western Meat Co. had stock CON
troll of the Nevada company. The
lower courts order, which had ser
aside the commissions order, was re-
versed.
In the other two cases where the
properties We're purchased without
any stock interest in the companies
the court sustained the purchase and
reversed the lower courts.
Justices Holmes, Brandeis and Stone
dissented, contending that the com
mission had the authority to compel
corporations to dispose of the physical
property OF competitors obtained by
purchase.
In all Of these proceedings the com
mission took the ground that when
a corporation engaged in interstate
commerce acquired plants engaged in

Won Two Cases i'm Lower Courts.
In two Of the cases the commission
won in the lower courts, but it lost
when 1t attempted to prevent the
Western Meat Co. from holding the
property of the Navada Packing
Co., which it had purchased. The
cases won were those against Swift
& Co. and against the Thatcher Manu-
featuring Co.
Asserting that corporations had
the same right as individuals to pur-
chase property, the companies con.
tended that the commission had ex-
ceeded its authority, and that the
Federal Government had no jurisdic-
tion over the acquisition of physical
property when stock or other control
over those selling the plants was not
attempted.
With a score of two to one In it's
favor in the lower Federal courts
the commission asserted that cor
porations could by the purchase OF
physical properties as effectively
eliminate competition as by the pur-
chase Of control of competitors, and
that the practice it complained OF
was a modern-day development In
attempts to restrict competition.
