WILBUR WINS DECISION
IN WAR PYRITES CASE
Supreme Court Exonerates Ohclal
of Charge of Failing to Obey
Decree.

Secretary Of the Interior Wilbur was
exonerated yesterday by District Su-
preme Court Justice Jessie c. Adkins
of a charge that he failed to obey a
decree of the District Supreme Court
which had ordered him to report on
the amount of interest due the Chest
atee Pyrites g. Chemical Corporation
of Atlanta.
The company contended the Secretary
had misinterpreted the United States
Supreme Court opinion in the case and
had disallowed interest payments ON
the company's debts contracted during
the World War in mining pyrites Tor
war purposes.
After a lengthy review OF the case
Justice Adkins held that Congress did
not intend to have interest run beyond
the date fixed in the relief act, and that
this is the date to which the company
has been paid. The answer Of Secretary
Wilbur, the court pointed out, shows
full compliance with the opinion OF
the United States Supreme Court,
which fixed the cutoff interest date as
March 2, 1919, and shows no intention
to disregard the order of the District
Supreme Court of December IS, 1881,

Sham and Deceit"

A news reel picture of the President

of Mississippi
Harrison said Monday the film pur-
ports to show President Hoover deliver
ing his recent surprise message to the

out over the country"
The MissisSippian said he had not
seen the film, but was informed "it
gives the President as speaking in a
louder tone than when he spoke here >
Harrison added he could hardly hear

DRASTIC REDUCTION
Three Actions Combine to Re.

Washington, April 19.-R Con-

Tuesday to program of reduction In

Three actions brought this about.
The unheard OF procedure in the
house Of accepting without a confer

by the senate In the interior depart
ment appropriation bill: the instruc-
ton of the senate to its appropria-
tions committee to cut 10 per cent off
the treasury -postoffice supply meas

100000 reduction in the prohibition
enforcement fund, only important
item left at the budget estimate by
the house.
Acceptance Of the interior bill

original $10,000.000 requested by the
budget.

SAY short TRADERS
Names ARE DUMMY
Senate Committee Members
Advocate Uncovering Real
Identities

Washington. April ls.-(R)-1n the
belief that many of the names in the
list of $4,000 short sales presented for
the stock market inquiry represent
dummies" for important principals,
some of the senate's banking COM
mittee members Monday advocated
uncovering the real traders.
The committee held it's inquiry in
allegiance until Thursday to give Will
liam A. Gray of Philadelphia. its new
counsel, time to 60 through the ire
mendous list of transactions. Ad-
ministration senators. among them
the Republican leader, Watson of In
diana, reiterated their determination
to go to the bottom of the subject and
determine what influences have been
depressing the market.
The list of short traders names was
guarded from publication but sena-
tors who have seen it said the great
ma jority were unknown, leading to
the belief expressed by some that in
the larger transactions either fictitious
names or those of agents for big oper-
ators had been used. One senator
said he would propose that the COM
mittee pick out few Of the more i'm
portant transactions and send inves-
tigators into brokerage offices to find
out who was behind them.
Many new angles of the investiga-
ton were being presented to men,
bers of the committee and Senator
eteiwer (Rep., Ore.). said he would
ask for an inquiry into the publica-
ton by a certain magazine recently
Of the purported names Of many big
short traders. Publication of the
names was suddenly stopped after the
magazine had announced more would
be given.

Cannon Raps Idea He
FavOrs ResubnissiOn

Washington. April 10. up = The
idea that Bishop James Cannon, Jr..
now favors resubmission Of the prohi-
bition question to the people, was
squelched by the cleric Monday In an
address before the Women's National
Committee for Law Enforcement.
Because, few days ago In Rich
mond, Bishop Cannon said he ap-
proved the basal elements Of former
Governor Byrd's plan for making pos
sible . direct popular vote on repeal,
modification or resubmission Of the
18th amendment, the noted dry lead
er has been interpreted widely as ia
voring an early popular vote on the
question.
But at TIT gathering Of dry women
he went over the previous address in
detail to show he was still positively
opposed to the resubmission Of the
prohibition amendment until the peo-
pie have indicated clearly In congress
sional and senatorial elections thai
the people themselves, not the wet
press, not the associations opposed to
prohibition, not even the wet women,
want the amendment resubmitted."
