PAGE TEN ADMINISTRATION OF SILVER AGT WINS. DEFENSE Treasury Under Secretary Says It Was Used in Public Interest. WASHINGTON, June 6. — Recent attacks on the treasury for {ts admin- irtration of the Pittsman silver act, operation of which is practically end- ed, were given a general answer by Under Secretary Gilbert who declar ed had considered : rests of the whole people the spectal interest of the the department he 1 not mere! er produce: The reply was in the form of a let- ter to Senator Pittsman, Democrat ef Nevada, and declared complaints by the senator and others against rever of the subsidiary coinage allocation, made last year, were not well found. ed.

SLEEPING SICKNESS WILMINGTON, Delaware, June 6. —Allegations by the government that certain official actions by President Wileon in connection with the sale of 4,300 German dye patents, trade marks, etc., to the Chemical Founda- tion, Inc., were unwarranted were challenged in the United States dis- trict court here by Isador J. Krenvl, of counsel for the defense, in the sult of the government for the return of the patents. The sult was brought by the pres- ent allen property custodian, it being contended by the government that patents worth many millions of dol- lars were sold at an inadequate price to the Chemical Foundation, a Dela ware corporation of which Francis P. Garvan, former alien property cus todian, is president.

Mr. Kresel today held that the| prosecution was an attack upon the official act of a president engaged at the time in the gravely important work of conducting a great war, 1t was the first time, he said, that the judicial arm of the government was invoked to set aside the official action of the president in such an emer- gency. Kresel said the defense would | show that the course pursued in re-| spect to the sale of these patents under the law was one of the great- of est achievements that came out the war.

J. June 6.—As the iasues of the war were brought to stir men’s souls through advertising, so might the issues of peace be presented through the same medium, Francis H. Sisson, vice-president of the Guaranty ‘Trust company of New York, told the Financial Advertisers associa- tion at its annual convention. “Advertising will increasingly at- tract better brains, and it will in- creasingly offer fuller acope to the creative geniuses of business, aci- ence, art and lterature,” he said. “Tts pomsibilities for service, in fact, challenge the boldest and most far-reaching imagination.” Mr. Sisson declared that adver- tising men had not only opportunt- ties for service and profit but the clear call to duty.” “There rests upon our business and industrial leaders the distinct reaponsibility to state and explain the facts and principles upon which national business progress must be built through the printed word, #0 clearly that he who runs may read, and that oft quoted ‘man in the street’ may understand,” he added. Mr. Sisson said there was no code of ethics that prevented profes sional people from advertising thelr services. He pointed to banks and other fiduciary inatitutions which formerly thought it unseeming to advertise, but who now have dls- pelled “thet bugbear”. “In the eale of any eervice,” he aseerted, ‘as intimate or personal eo lew or medicine, standards of taste might readily be involved, but not of ethice and I am willing to venture the assertion that the Gay will come when advertising will be employed in the sale of personal TRANSMISSION LINE 100 LOW, CORONER'S JURY SAYS IN DEATH VERDICT That the death of Donald E.
