Miss Jessica Shoemaker, a central

trial. recalled to the stand before
Justice Oscar R. Luhring in Dis

bottle and a half of sedatives which
she identified previously was not the

case of Mrs. Lola Crounse Stinson
with giving her overdoses of seda-
tive to induce her to go through
with the marriage with Joseph
Whitla Stinson, thus anticipated
surprise evidence which the wife's
attorneys gathered over the Easter

PITTSBURGH. April II P.-
High water rolling down on Pitts

place on it lis unnatural and

IF Congress meant that past
membership, no matter how short a
duration or how far in the past
was to be a cause of present de-
portation, the purpose could have
been clearly stated. The section
does not bear this import" the
court said.
In a vigorous dissent by Justice
McReynolds. In which Justice But
Ter joined, it was declared that the
construction of the statute adopted
by the court seems both unwar-
ranted and unfortunate. If by the
simple process of resigning or get
ting expelled from a prescribed or
ganlzation an alien may thereafter
instantly purge himself after
months or years of mischievous ac-
tlvlties hoped-for protection against
such conduct will disappear. Escape
from the consequences of deliberate
violations or our hospitality should
not become quite so facile."
The court held also that an order
by the Federal Power Commission.
denying an application of public
utility companies to consolidate, was
subject to review by Federal Cir
cult Court.
In a decision by Justice Frank
furter. the high tribunal affirmed
a ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court
that the Pacific Power e. Light Co.
and the Inland Power and Light Co.
could appeal from an order refus-
ing to merge.
The companies operate in WASH
lngton and Oregon. The Circuit
Court did not pass on the merits
OF the merger, but only on the
right 40 appeal from the order.
In asking the Supreme Court to
review the Circuit Courts decision,
the Power Commission contended
that the courts could not compel
approval of the request because that
would require the courts to perform
the administrative tasks of the COM
mission"
The question presented was de-
scribed by Government attorneys
as of general importance in rela-
ton to the review of many admin
istrative agencies"
The court upheld PENNSYLVANIA
Public Utility Commission order di-
rectlng the Edison Light q Power
Co. of York. Pa. to reduce its
revenue temporarily by s435, 900 a
year.
Justice Reed delivered the opin-
ion. The court did not pass upon
the Roosevelt administrations re-
quest for adoption of the prudent
investment" theory of valuing pub
lie utilities for rate making purposes.
Justice Frankfurter, in concur
ring opinion, in which Justice Black
joined, said the majority decision
accepts the doctrine of Supreme
Court rulings for the last Al wears
requiring consideration of reproduc-
ton costs in determining the value
of utilities.
The Government had asked the
tribunal to reconsider the famous
decision delivered in 1898 requiring
consideration of reproduction cost.
Justice Reed said it was not neces-
sary to reconsider the previous rul-
ing in deciding the question involved
IN the Edison power case.
