Griffin Retires As
 Aldermanic Leader
Veteran President Succeeded By Patrick PerriellO,
 epublican-Zoning Amendment for Cooke St.

Patrick M. Perriello, Republican, became president of the board of aldermen today, board eight Re publicans strong, seven Democrats forming the minority. But seven Republicans, all subscribed to the candidacy of c. Arthur Dubois, choice of the organization headed by Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson, voted against Alder man Perriello today just after II o'clock when the new board assem- bled to be sworn in, to await the ln- augural address of Mayor Frank Hayes.
 Thus, the new year for the Re- publicans started with a hangover which may last through the two years tenure of the board of alder men. For the first move towards effecting machine designed to flout the mayor resulted in failure.
 Zoning Recommendation
 Called to order by City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice in an aldermanic chamber filled with audience and flowers, the members were given the oaths of office by the city clerk. Retiring president, Peter J. Griffin, was named president pro tempore and immediately the matter of change of zoning on application of Daniel T. Harrington, real estate man, came before the meeting, as part of the unfinished business of the last meeting.
 The report of the committee on the application, which was to change from residential to business the zone at Cooke street and Woodlawn ter race to allow construction of gasoline filling station, was given by Alderman George R. Guilfoile in

the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the case to district court because a new agreement had been entered into by PWA and Green woe county subsequent to the in- junction.
 The district court, after the sec- ond trial, affirmed the injunction. When the government appealed again, the circuit court reversed the lower courts decision and ordered the injunction vacated. The Su- preme Court then reviewed the case, but remanded it for retrial on the grounds of procedural error.
 In the third trial, the district court denied the injunction, but held that the government must pay one half the costs of the litigation. When both litigants appealed to the cir cult court, that tribunal affirmed the district courts refusal to issue the injunction,

The decision will involve two cases challenging validity of the program, instituted by the Duke Power Company and the Alabama Power Company. The cases were argued orally on Dec. 6, and 8, and the decision is expected shortly after the tribunal reconvenes Jan. after its holiday recess.
 The Alabama company's suit in- wolves PWA power projects in four small northwestern Alabama towns in the Tennessee Valley Authority area-Deeatur, Hartselle, Gunters- vile, and Russelville. The Duke suit invoves the Buzzard Roost hy- droelectnc project on the Saluda river in Greenwood county, s. c.
 Attorneys for both companies charged that the program was an illegal Invasion of government into private business fields, and that PWA il general-and the power program in particular-Was an un- constitutional delegation of powers.
 Conspiracy Charge Made
 They charged further that PWA Administrator Harold L. Ickes so administered the power program that, in conjunction with IVA op- erations, it constituted an actual conspiracy to force private utilities either out of business or to lower their ra;es below the profit margin.
 Their charges that PWA in &C., tual practice maintained the right to regulate, or at least power to veto, ntes charged by the munich pally-swned plants were denied by Solicitor General Stanley Reed and Jeronr Fran,-, assistant to the at torney general. Both argued for the government.
 Goernment attorneys declared that the only rate-regulatory au- thoriy retained by PWA was in those powers which would accrue to an odinary, private bondholder, in that they maintained the right to see that rates were sufficient to pay obligations.
 Bah cases resulted in Circuit Cout of Appeals decisions favor able to the government. The Ala bana company instituted it's suit in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking to en- join PWA permanently from com pleting its agreement for the fom projects it challenged.
 Three Withdraw From Suit
 This suit was instituted as di- rest test of the programs validity and involved three other private utilities as well as the Alabama Power Company. After the suit was started, however, the Texas Utilities Company the Oklahoma Utilities Company and the Iowa City Light & Power Company withdrew.
 After 1 17-day trial, the District Court fond that the company had a right to sue for the injunction but decEed that the injunction was not justified, and the PWA program was constitutional. The District of Columha Circuit Court affirmed the judgment.
 The Duke suit was instituted in the western South Carolina Fed eral District Court in November, 1884. That tribunal granted the in- iuncton sought by the company, but

Jerry conferred with Cabell. He said, "Ill take her without firing a round if you'll give me dozen men,"
 "WeU have to fire, of course Just the carronades. A few rounds and she's ours. We'll have her before they can man the guns We'll board her and run her of in record time." It was the method of the young Carolinian, applicable here to perfection.
 But Jerry shook his head Ill violent negation. You'd ruin her rigging at best. She's got sweet rigging"-his gaze lifted to where tall masts pierced the blackness. At worst you'd bring the frigates down on us. No firing, I tell you!
 How'll you do it?" Cabel hissed. By tossing seaweed?" The tenseness of the situation made him feel furious impatience with his obstinate first mate. He would have liked, actually, to wiring his neck Jerry was feeling the same urge in regard to his cap tain. Perhaps the inevitable moment had come when one ship was too small for two such domi- yous gnat rather than as an angry hornet.
 The test had arrived. When dark was falling the Gray Gulls crew brought her east, northeast with all lights doused, in toward the rich prizes that were nearing the sea girt island called England Bristol would be the fleets desti- nation, for it had passed Lands End and showed no intention o1 entering the Channel. This much was to the Gray Gull's advantage.
 And now luck came at last. The hindmost ship was tagging. From her lanterns, fore and aft anc ouarterdeck, they could judge hel size. A large merchant ship, about 500 tons, tall spared, three masteo and square sailed.
 The Gray Gull, with Jerry al the helm, came up on her slowly and silently, sailed to larboard o1 her for time, passed her and al but crossed her bows; wore shir and crossed her stern, then came up to starboard. Looking up, they could see that she was lightly manned and that those who sailed her were celebrating some event 1T the cup that cheers.
