Construction Total High.

At the beginning of the year it was
predicted that construction would pass
the S7,0O0,OOO,000 mark and this now
seems certain, since the last quarter
need show only ,528,000,000 of new
contracts to pass the estimated figure,
and this is an easy fourth quarter rec
ord for construction to attain.

OAR INSURANCE
LAW PUSHED

Representative Allen T. Treadway
is planning to seek early action from
the House District Committee on his
bill to establish a compulsory au-
tomobile liability insurance clause
for the District.
The bill, which was introduced by
Mr.. Treadway yesterday, would com
pei local motorists to take out
liability insurance or post bond or
cash before they would be able to
register their cars.
The motorist would have the OPP
portunity to select one of three
methods. He could take out liabiI-
ity insurance Of SIG, 900, post surety
bond of $4,000 payable to the Dis.
trict or deposit $4,000 cash with
the superintendent of licenses.
The liability insurance would be
handled by private insurance COM
panies rather than by the Govern
meut This law is based upon the
liability insurance law now IN
effect in Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Treadway claims it would be
an advantage not only to the per-
son injured, but to the automobile
owner.
The motoriSt would be liable to
damages of 5000 for each death
and total of $4,000 for any single
accident

MONTREAL, Quebec. March 19.-
Quebec went ahead in the grim task
of planning the death of Doris Nc
Donald-the first woman to be sem
fenced to death in the province in
twenty years-despite that a re-
ported statement, generating her,
had been published.
The statement was reported to
have been made by her husband,
George Mcdonald, also under SEN
tence of death, to officials at Valley
Field Prison.
In the published statement he as
sumed all blame, denied a con-
fession she made in Denver and
said she had no part in the crime.
One of Mrs. McDonald's attor-
neys was reported to be in Ottawa
to urge the minister Of Justice to
show clemency towards the young
wife-an American girl.
The gallOWs, now painted bril-
liant red, are ready for transporta-
tior to the Valley Field Prison. The
couple will meet for the last time
on this red gallows, Friday, and
both will pay for the murder of
Adelard Bouchard with their lives
unless there is clemency.

Ruling in Famous Case.

DY CHtttu Ifboo
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Swift
and Armour packing interests lost in
the United States Supreme Court
today an attempt to cancel the ia
nous 1920 packers consent decree.
Justice Brandeis announced the
courts decision.
Justice Brandeis stated that the
court decided it had jurisdiction to
review. the case and it had concluded
the District of Columbia court was
right in dismissing the Swift Armour
petition.
The 1920 decree, entered in the
District of Columbia Supreme Court
as the elimination of an antitrust
suit started by the Federal govern
ment, was signed by 135 defendants,
including representatives of all the
big Five" packers--Sw Armour,
Cudahy, Wilson and Morris
The decree enjoined the packers
from engaging in many activities
which the Government alleged to be
in violation of the Sherman and
Clayton antitrust laws, including
holding of stock in public stockyard
market companies and terminal
railroads, and merchandising of
wholesale groceries, canned goods
and other commodities, not directly
related to the meat-packing in
dustry.
Swift and Armour interests in
1924 commenced legal action to
have the decree set aside, on the
ground that the court had exceeded
its authority.
The United States opposed the
new suit, and was joined by organ
lied wholesale grocers, who argued
their business would be damaged by
the packers competition if the de-
cree were vacated.
