The anti-profiteering sections of the Lever food control act, under which the government stopped the coal instituted many declared uncon- ited States Su- The decision was rendered in a s e, but the decision was sweeping, and will re- sult in stopping all suits brought by the Department of Justice in its cost- >t-living campaign. The decision of the court rested mainly on the indefiniteness of the act, which Chief Justice White de- clared to be “as broad as human imagination.” He asserted that the degree of criminality was left to ever- changing_ standards. The wide latitude of possible inter- pretation was clearly evidenced, hé& said, by the varied assortment of cases brought before the court to test the act. These cases, numbering ten in all, ranged from specific convic- tions to denial of injunctions sought by retailers to restrain government agents from proceeding against them. In some cases the government ap- pealed from adverse decisions of lower courts, quashing indictments, and in others it defended decisions in its favor. “Observe that the sections forbid no specific or definite act,” said the Chief Justice.

C, TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1921 CABINET OFFICERS TO.GIVE UP SCORES OF SPECIAL POSITIONS an r Plan to “Throw” Music INAUGURATION CUSTOMS VARY J\r Ao WIRKERS Amazing Number of Ouigoing officers in the Wilson cabinet will resign more than a score of jobs whih are part and parcel of their positions, but of which the | general public knows comparatively little. President Wilson, commander-in- chief of the Army and Navy by vir- tue of the constitutional authority vested in his office, will not only lose his place as head of the mili- tary and naval forces of the United States, but also will go out of sev- eral offices which will be takén up by President-elect Harding. et The President, in addition to being ! | the chief executive of the nation and commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, also is an honorary difector or president of many other organi- zations. He is president of the American National Red Cross, hon-| orary director and of the Smith- | nian Institution, president of the ashington National Monument So- | ciety and a patron of the Columbia Institution for the Deaf. in addition | to being honorary president or hon- | orary director of scores of other or- ganizations throughout the country. | The Vice President is singulariy | unhonored in_the matter of hon- | orary jobs. He is, in addition to| being President of the Senate, a mem- | ber of the board of governors of the | Smithsonian Inskitution. War Secretary Holds Record. The Secretary of War holds the greatest number of executive jobs in addition to his post as head of the military establishment. He is chair- man of the Federal Power Comm sion, chairman of the Council of Na- | tional Defense and chairman of the Arlington national amphitheater com- mission. In addition to this, the Sec- retary of Sar is supervisor of the Military Academy at West Point, su- pervisor of military education in !h»l‘ Army, of the board of ordnance and fortification, supervisor of the various battlefield commissions, is in charge of all matters relating fo national de- fense and seacoast fortification, Army ordnance, river and harbor improve- ments and of establishment of harbor lines. Besides holding all these jobs the new Secretary of War will have relatively little to do.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ‘WINCHESTER, Va., March 1.—Ad monishing parents generally to “salt the tales” told by school children, Judge Tavenner dismissed a warrant against Howard Ebersole, charged with threatening R. W. Robey, a county school teacher. Robey testified that when pupils were inaitentive in class he would tap them ghtly on the head with a switch, but that he did not strike Ebersole’s little son, as the latter is said to have told his father. It was admitted by Ebersole that he had removed his overcoat when he met Robey in the road, saying he heard Robey was “looking for him.” After discoursing at length on the sacrifices made by the average country school teacher, the court dismissed the charge and told Ebersole to “go and sin no more.” i i 1 The Fordney emergency tariff bill today awaited the approval or dis- approval of President Wilson. The Senate late yesterday adopted the conference report on the measure, a step which had already been taken | by the House. The vote in the Sen- ' ate adopting the conference report | was 49 to 36. FEleven democrats | voted for the report and four re- publicans voted against it. Senator Underwood of ~ Alabama, | minority leader in the Senate, recent- ly stated he had assurances that the President would withhold his signa- | ture. Due to the termination of this| Congress within ten days, the Presi- | dent either can veto the bill and send it back, with his reasoms for doing 80, or he can simply ‘destroy | it by a pocket veto, which wouid give no opportunity for Congress to at-| tempt to override his wishes, Final | votes on the measure, its opponents | declared, showed slight possibility of | the necessary two-thirds majority | being given either in the House or | Senate for overriding a veto. | Democratic senators made a final as- sault on the bill when the report of the conference committee was taken up y terday, and for five hours drove at what they described as the iniquities of the legislation. Although only two voices were raised in defense of the bill, and they for only a few minutes, the argu- ment unloosed by the democrats availed nothing. If_signed by the President, the law would be immediately effective and would remain in force for ten months, although republican leaders plan to sup- plant it in the meanwhile either with a second tariff measure or a permanent law. These matters, however, are re- served for the extra session. | R Up_to and including the year 1 the English year did not begin_ on January 1, as it does now, but on the Feast of the Annunclation, March 1109 G St. N.W.

SENATE VOTES REPEAL OF MANY WARTIME LAWS Adopts House Resolution Applying to Certain Enactments Bestow- ing Unusual Powers. The Senate put through the House resolution for general repeal of war- time laws last night and sent the measure to conference. With few ex- ceptions all of these laws, giving un- usual powers to the executive. are to be repealed under the bill. The ex- ceptions include the trading-with-the- enemy act, the liberty bond acts and poration Among the laws which the legisla- tion would repeal are the Lever food and fuel acts, parts of which were declared unconstitutional yesterday by the Supreme Court. The Senate judiciary committee had recommend- ed that the Lever law stand, but the enate adopted an amendment by enator Reed, democrat, Mo., includ- ing the food and fuel law among those to be repealed. The Senate also adopted a resolu- tion by Senator Walsh, democrat, | Montana, providing that prosecutions brought under laws which the resolu- | tion would repeal should not be af-| fected by the repeal. In addition to the trading-with-the- enemy, liberty bond and other laws which are exempted from repeal, the resolution would restore the original espionage act of 1917, repealing the | amendatory statute of 1919. The lat- ter was regarded as much more stringent than the original act. Another provision of the resolution declares that it shall not operate to prevent prosecutions of Army and Navy deserters or persons charged with violating the selective service law. — The first woman licensed loc preacher of the Methodist Episcopal { Church in China is Miss Ding So Sing. who was licensed to preach by Bishop Keeney at the recent celebration in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Methodist work on Haitary Island, in Fukien.
