ASK COURT TO RUL ON MATERNITY LAW Massachusetts Declares ”. Sheppard-Towner Act Unconstitutional. “USURPATION OF RIGHTS”, B Petition Also Declares Division of - Cost and Funds to Be Unfair and Unequal. Determination ot the constitation ajity of the Sheppard-Towner ma t4rnity law is sought by the state of Massachusetts. A petition filed by this state in the United States Supreme Court-yesterday, in pérmission ed to bLring an original suit against Secretary-of the Treasury Mellon, the children’s bureau of the Department of Labor, the surgeon-general of the Public Health Service, and the com- riissioner of education, who, under the act, constitute the board of ma- ternity and infant hygiene. The proceeding, as reported by the Associated Press, was instituted by order of the general court of Ma. chusetts, and would restrain the charged with the enforcement of the law from carrying its provisions into effect,_especially by prohibiting the expenditure of any public funds. Mas- sachusctis contended that the act was unconstitutional and void because it would impair and violate her sov- erelgn rights and the rights of her citizens. Objects to Other Bills. . Congress in enacting the maternity law “un delegated to it, but reserved to the states * by the tenth amend- ment to the. Constitution,” the peti- tion stated, which explained that an appropriation of $1,480,000 had been made for the-use of the board during the last fiscal vear. and commitment made for the use of the board during the next five years of at least $1,240,000. g Tn order to participate in the appor- tionment of the funds a state mush ac- cept the provisions of the law, and sub- mit plans for carrying them out, Massa- chusetts pointed out, adding that the states must appropriate amounts equal to those contributed by the federal gov- ernment. - Appropriations by~ Congress Gf funds to be paid for objects which are not national but local,” the petition designated as “federal aid,” which it stated was “belicved to be an effective means of inducing states to vield a por- tion of their sovereign rights for the consideration offered.”” Other bills of a similar nature, it declared, were p(?nd- ing or proposed, naming the Sterling- Towner bill to create a department of education and a bill to create a depart- ment of public welfare, “to call for the expenditure of immense sums of money. Burden Declared Unequal. The “burden” of providing the funds necessary for the matern bureau “and similar legislation,” it added, “falls unequally upon the different * the main source of the federal revenues being internal revenue taxes, which, Masachusetts stated, rests heav- ily upon her and other industrial states. It pointed out that three-fourths of such taxes were collected from ten states which under the maternity act would receive less than 35 per cent of the money appropriated by Congress. s achusetts should accept the act, etition said, “the return to it thereunder would Ye less than ome- haif the amount collected from its citizens, while If Massachusetts should not accept its. citizens wauld be taxed in order to carry the act into effect in other states.” Forty have submitted to the children’ , the -petition states, detalled plams for carrying -out the provisions of the-act, and the bureau has certified thirty-two of them as entitled to money under the act. Massachusetts protested that under the act a system.of government was established between the United States and the states.accepting it, from which Massachusetts “was excluded—a “uys- tem which is neither the federal gov- ernment _estabiished by the Constitu- tion * * ¢ nor the state governments recognized therein, but an alien form of Bovernment not provided for nor recognized by the Constitution, but inconsistent with and contrary fo its provisions.” The motion will be con- sidered when the court reconvenes next month.

So far, it is understood that it has |not been ' determined whether one or chief of the !both kidneys are affected or what may be the cause of the obstruction. Some surgeons have found that it frequently Is caused by what is commonly known ! as floating ‘kidney, when one of those organs gets out of place and twists the canal which conducts the outgoing tiuids, thus wbstructing or completely | closing the passage. In some cases the obstruction has been found to be caused the lodgment of renal calcus—a hard acid cryetal body—in the canal. 1In either case the obstruction causing the accumulation of fluids produces sharp | pains and @ consequent dilation of the organs, and if not successfully. relieved causes the absorption or distribution of toxins and results in some degree of uraemic poisoning. Conscious Through Agony. Until the arrival of other surgeons and the consultation which will de- termine what action is to be taken, Mrs. Harding is being made as com- fortable as possible with sedatives, but she has been all through entirely conscious and with her mental facil- ities unimpaired, and despite the great pain approaching at times to almost agony, she has shown as her first {concern the comfort and repose of those about her. The fact that she was resting easier today, because some of the pressure had ‘been relieved during the night was taken as a good indication medically that nature was helping in some degree to relieve the obstruc- tion, and might continue to contribute vaiuable aid to the surgeons during the next twenty-four or forty-eight hours. While a surgical operation is generally accounted a sure means of relief in such cases. other considera- tions frequently make it inadvisable in the opinion of the surgeons, and whether It will be reso:ted to. for Mrs. Harding depends on the develop- ments of the next day and the de- terminations of the consulting sur- geons when they assemble. Daugherty at White House. Attorney General Daugherty, who, besides being a member of the Presi- dent's official family, is an intimate of the Harding household, spent the night at the White House. He left shortly before 8 o'clock this morning. He told the newspaper men then that Mrs. Harding had spent a more rest- ful night. and that she appeared to be slightly better this morning, but that her condition was still very serious. George Christian, the President's secretary, and an intimate friend of the Harding family of more than thirty years' “standing, Was at the White House until midnight. It was he who gave to the newspaper men earller in the night Gen. Sawyer’ second bulletin concerning Mrs. Hard- ing’s condition. > “Mrs. Harding's: condition is yery critical,” he said, as he handed the bulletin to those at the White House entrance. Other Friends Prement. D. R. Crissinger, controller of the currency and a neighbor of the Hard- ings in_Marion, Ohio, and Mrs. Saw- yer, wife of Gen. Sawyer, and a close frind of the family, were at the White House until nearly midnight. | Secretary of War Weeks called dur- ing the afternoon and evening, and again early this morning. Upon leaving this morning he stated that e had been informed that Mrs. Harding had had a more satisfactory night than she experienced Thursday night. - He made it plain, however, that while she appeared slightly im- proved this morning her condition was still ‘very serious. Former Complaint Returns. Gen. Sawyer describes Mrs. Harding’s illness as hydro-nephrosis, a recurring |ailment of thé kidneys. It was explained ithat she has suffered from this com- | plaint-at -intervals, especially- so- sinoe she was operated upon nine years ago. Several times since then she has suf- fered from attacks, the most serious of which was in 1916. She experienced another critical attack during the Pres- ident’s campaign for the Presidency. and a milder one just prior to the President's inauguration. Mrs. Harding, on these former occa- sions, did not suffer as much as she has during her present iliness and her con- dition yielded more readily to treatment. During all of these former attacks Gen. One hundred and nine clerks in the | Sawyer-was in constant attendance and, Post Office Department have received promotions this month, according to announcement by the Postmaster Gen- eral today. - A total of 217 have been promoted since August 1, making one In every | five in the department-who has re ceived advancement. The figures are held by officials to refute the old say- ing that government employes “stay in a rut. - In addition to their new salaries, the clerks receive the $240 bonus. The | sitated -her “returning to bed. promotions were as follows Five clerks, $1,800 to $1,900; one clerk, $1,700 to $1,800; four clerks, 31600 to $1,700; six clerks, $1,500 to $1,600; twelve clerks, $1.400 to $1,500 thirteen clerks, $1,300 to $1,400; six- teen clerks, $1,200 to $1,300; twenty- four clerks,-$£100- to- $1,200; sixteen clerks, $1,000 to $1,100; five clerks, $900 to 31,000 one- clerk, $300 to $1,000; one clerk, $720 to $1,000; one clerk, $720 -to $840; two -clerkss $500 to $1,000; one clerk, $1,240 to $1,400.

About ten days ago she contracted a col@ which, it is believed, aggra- vated her organic trouble. Several days ‘later she appeared greatly im- proved, in fact so much 80 that she busied herself about the White House until a setback occurred which neces- Compli- cations followed, the most serious of which was experienced Thursday night. It was then that her condition was viewed- with considerable alarm and which resulted in the issuance of the first bulletin explaining the nature and seriousness of her iliness and making- no se of the fact that the White House was greatly concerned. Many -messages expressing hope that Mrs. Harding would speedily re- cover have ‘bheen received at - the “White House during the.past twen- four hours.

BERLIN, September 9.—A program looking toward the stabilization of international finance on the basis of amortization is being submitted ‘to Alanson B.

One Per Cent Retires Loan. The basis for the proposed scheme Southern Commtreial Congress took from Germany to ‘the United States in 1913, on which.the federal farm loan act is based: It s understood that Dr. Owens called the attention of interested circles in Berlin to the system of finance in_operation in the United States under the federal farm loan act, declaring it makes possible absolute’ cancellation of. a loan in Ar: in semi-annual _ payments, merely by adding 1 per.cent to the interest charged. Commenting to the correspondent on the possibilities of applying amor- tizatfon to war debts, Dr. Owens said “Under the amortization plan the dignity of nations would be maig- tained, and they would got be holding out their hands for.alms. They would be paying their debts.” ‘Would Drop Polities. Commenting on the steps President Harding is reported to have taken toward the stabilization of interna- iional finance, Dr. Owens expressed the opinion that “the steps taken by President Harding could be effica- clous if divorced absolutely from all political significance in America, and if his plan could be divorced from all international politics. It must be on a practical, common-sense economic basis, where the fate of parties must not be taken Into account. With the world war over, all questions of hate and revenge must be eradicated. The commission’s investigations al- jready have covered France, Belglum and Holland, and it will return to France shortly, after. studying sev- eral countries in this section of Europe.

The roads, except in one or two in- stances, gave up farming out of work prior to. the shopmen's strike last July 1. The Labor Beard in the Indiana Harbor case set a precedent by holding that contracting of work should be abandoned. The Erie railroad, one of the lines which did not agree to cease con- tracting work, and New York Central Iines_ were among the roads against which. the board gave unanimous d cisions today.

Each house assembled sepa- rately following a joint session yes- terday and each had before it revision of the prayer book.
