GOLD ACT ATTACK
RENEWED IN SUIT
Colombia Concern Appeals
to Supreme Court on
New York Ruling.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A fresh attack on the constitution
ality of the act of Congress abrogating
clauses in contracts calling for pay
ment in gold was filed today with the
Supreme Court.
The appeal was presented by CO.
lombia concern, Compania de Inver-
stones InternacionaleS, which con-
tended the law did not apply to in
ternational transactions between nom
residents of the United States.
The action was brought against the
Industrial Mortgage Bank of Finland
in an effort to recover $5,307 on Sc
curities instead of the face value Of
$3,135. The larger amount was asked
on account of the cut in the dollars
gold weight to 5906 per cent of the
content at the time the investment
was made.
New York State courts, from which
the appeal was filed, denied the larger
amount and awarded judgment for the
smaller sum.
The Colombia concern sought to re-
cover the larger amount on three first
mortgage collateral per cent sinking
fund gold bonds of the Finland Bank,
which were payable in United States
gold coin "of the standard of weight
and finenesS as it existed on July /,
1884" 1t contended the larger number
of present-day dollars was necessary
to represent the same amount of gold
as the original investment.
The Supreme Court at its last term
upheld the right of the Government
to bar payment of private bonds in
gold.
"The policy and purpose of the Con-
greSS of the United States in enacting
the Jones resolution" the petition said,
was to relieve persons and corpora
tons of their contractual obligations
in so far as it was deemed necessary to
regulate the value of the money of the

LIVERPOOL. December 3l.-The
Charles A. Nndberghs, declared by
members of the crew of their ship to
have left the United States to avoid
the execution of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, landed here today after
q rough transatlantic trip and went
into immediate seclusion in a hotel
suite in the heart of Liverpool.
They dashed down the gangplank of
the steamer American Importer,
which carried no other passengers,
and, escorted by a carload of detec-
tives, drove directly to the Adelphi
Hotel
There, the famous flyer, his wife
and their 3-year-old son Jon, passed
swiftly through the lobby without reg
istering and went directly to their
rooms.
Room Numbers Secret.
Even the numbers OF the hotel
rooms were kept secret.
The American Importer, arriving of
its Gladstone dock in the Mersey
River early this morning, lay at anchor
until II am. A tug then started
it through the locks. In the middle
of the first lock, the ship Unexpectedly
was tied up while two home office
officials and two uniformed boobies
boarded her.
At 1890 pm. the family finally was
disembarked, after considerable delay
and passing back and forth by officials.
The door facing the gangway opened
and the petite Anne Morrow Lindbergh,
clad in smartly tailored suit, glanced
about with worried look.
Smiles at Dock Workers.
She saw the waiting crowd, many
of them dockworkers and as a cheer
went up she smiled.
Then she ran quickly down the
sangway, with the bareheaded Lind
bergh, carrying his son, close behind.
Jon, a sturdy figure in blue woolen
romper suit, clutched his father tight
ly around the neck. His face was
buried deeply in Lindbergh's shoulder
and he did not look at the crowd.
Several thousand Workmen were just
returning from lunch to the Liverpool
docks as the Lindberghs disembarked.
Some cheered, some stood in silence.
AS the Lindberghs stepped into a
taxi and drove away, preceded by the
police car, one man drew himself to
attention and stood in military salute,
Every One Warded OF.
Another cheer went up from the
crowd, and Lindbergh smiled back.
No one was allowed to approach the
Lindberghs and the colonel himself
said nothing.
But members of the Importers crew,
before the little family appeared, said
he had told them he left the United
States to absent himself and his fam
lily during the execution of the man
convicted of killing Charles A. Lind
bergh, jr.
The Lindberghs hurried to their
waiting taxicab through locked-of
portion of the docks.
Five automobiles carrying American,
British and French newspaper men
followed the machine from the pier.
They had expected the route to lead
to either Wales or Scotland, but in
stead it cut directly into the heart of
Liverpool and to the hotel.

KANSAS CITY, December 31.-
The Guffey coal law was held in
valid under the taxing powers Of the
Constitution today by Federal District
Judge Albert L. Reeves, who declared
the tax imposed by the act was so
burdensome and onerous as to de-
stroy the business of the plaintiffs. :"
Judge Reeves handed down the
opinion after six Missouri coal COM
panies had assailed the constitution
ality of the Guffey law and asked
the court for a temporary injunc-
ton to prevent Federal officials from
collecting taxes provided by the little
N. r. A." of the coal industry.
In granting the injunction Judge
Reeves asserted the Guffey tax stood
as a penalty to compel submission
to a national regulatory code, and
that there was no authority under
the Constitution enabling Congress
to stabilize the bituminous coal min
ing industry and promote its inter-
state commerce.

wouldn't have been so bad if be
hadn't been obliged to swim just as
fast as be possibly could. AS it
was thefB Big Pickerel who lived in
the Smiling Pool had almost caught
him. So between his terrible fright
and his hard work Danny was quite
used up.
He laid down, and for a while
just painted and painted, and all the

home where he belonged on the
other side of the Smiling Pool. By

found safety and peeped out. He
wanted to see if Reddy Fox was
still on the other bank of the Smil-

getting back home safely were.
The Smiling Pool was as calm
and peaceful and lovely as if no
such thing as danger was ever
known there. Over on the other
bank Danny could see Reddy Fox.
