interior in his ex officio capacity, re-

ity could employ officers, agents,
counsel and other personnel without
limitation as to number or compen-
sation and without regard for the
civil service laws. This authority
would supplant the existing housing

$75,OOO,0O0 for the fiscal year 1888,
$10O,OO0,O0O for 1889, and $100,0O0,O00
for 1910. In addition to these author
izations, the authority could borrow
$100,O00,000 from the Reconstruction
Finance corporation, and sell notes or
bonds, fully guaranteed by the gov
eminent as to principal and interest,
up to $10OOOO,000 for the fiscal year
1887 and $15O,OOO,OOO for each of the
succeeding three years. This brings
the grand total to $976,000,000.
The authority would be empowered

agency for the acquisition of land
and the construction of ''low-rent"

ton to the loans and grants, the au-
thority could develop and admins

Supreme Court Hits at
Arbitrary Power

Arbitrary rover
TN A decision concerning a specific
L action of the Securities Exchange
commission the United States Supreme
court ruled against the SEC, and In
its pronouncement 1t uttered a sig
nificant warning against the exercise
Of arbitrary power by governmental
agencies. Especially censured were the
fishing excursions" often undertaken
by commissions and congressional COM
mittees. Said the court:
"The philosophy that constitution
al limitations and legal restraints
upon official action may be brushed
aside upon the plea that good, per-
chance, may follow, finds no coun-
tenance in the American system of
government. An investigation not
based upon specified grounds is quite
as Objectionable as search warrant
not based upon specific statements Of
fact.
"Such an investigation, or such a
search, is unlawful in its inception
and cannot be made lawful by what
it may bring, or by what it actually
succeeds in bringing to light"
The decision was concurred in by
six justices; dissenting opinion hand
ed down by Justices Cardozo, Bran
deis and Stone, agreed with the warn
ing of the abuse of power, but con-
tended that the act of the SEC, held
unlawful by the majority, was legal
and just means of stamping out frauds
in security sales.

Tn 1887 John L. Sullivan fought the

Jawn L. weighed more than go

But the Boston Strong Boy parted his

stumbled out.
At the bell he charged across the
ring, swinging Justify, seeming deter
mined to get it over quickly. But the
Peoria Giant was young and sturdy,
finely trained for this grand opportu-
nifty. He withstood it all, even one Of
Jawn LIS best to his jaw. Then he
began landing some vicious blows of
his own.
They came into the third. Sullivan
was breathing in short, quick, noisy
puffs. Perhaps this was because he
was so far out of shape. Perhaps also
it was because he was enraged at this
Peoria Giant who had dared to defy
him. He leaped across the ring, swing
ing a fist that had all his go pounds
behind it.
The blow landed on the young mans
jaw. His legs quivered. He staggered.
But the Peoria Giant stayed up.
Indeed this youngster who could hit
and box and take it stayed for three
more rounds until the scheduled affair
was ended. Then they called it draw
and also summoned doctors.
When the physicians emerged from
the dressing room the fans who loved
| him listened and were satisfied. They
knew now why Jawn l., after landing
his Sunday punch, had not been able
to finish this aggressive young giant
who had faced him.
When, the doctors said, he had land
