Copyright, 1024 VIENNA, June 2.—Dr. Ignatz Seipel, thetAustrian chancellor, was the coolest ma in his entourage when he was ot Sunday at the railroad station by a would-be assassin. The chancellor walked some steps be- foré he collapsed. and turned to tell thejangry crowd which wanted to lynch Kagl Jaworek, who shot him, “Don't Teag him.” Later, when diplomatic rep- Tesqntatives called on him, he smiled, thobgh weakened by the possibly fatal wound. The attempted assassination sent a ‘waye of indignation over Vienna. Sun- day. night bands of Hakenkreusers raid- ed @afes in a demonstration against the Jews, whom they blame indirectly for the:attack. Jaworek, the chancellor's assailant, is a spinner's helper from Pottenstein. He is twenty-nine years old. married and a father. He went to Wienerneustadt from his home expressiy to bo and follow the chanc or to Vienna. i As soon as he had fired at the chancellor.

The attempt to assassinate the chan- eelfor can be lald girectly to the door of political opponents and an inimical press, which contended that the high cost of living was due to Seipel's and the leag reconstruction work. A a matter of fact, the conditions ar due to Socialist obstruction to the de crease in the mumber of state em- playes. An example of the attitude of the papers is provided by Der Abend, whjch published this ironical greet- ing on the occasion of Seipel's anni- ‘versary in offics “Our greetings to the man of the peaple and the priest who embraces eagh class with the same love. Who would greet each tlass so justly as oug Seipel?” e Without Chancellor Seipel's strong hapd on the helm. it is a question hofv the small Austrian ship of stat will weather the storm.

Ovation for Peincare. The resiznation of M. Poincare was presented after a final cabinet meet- ing at Elysee Palace, in the course of which decrees were signed effect- ing economies amounting to 400.- 000,000 francs. M. Poincare, who of late has not been accustomed to cheers, received an ovation from the crowds outstide Elysce after this last official act of his administration. 1 AR the same time the Radical and Socfialist groups in sesslon were pass- ing resolutions demanding the de- parture of M. Millerand from the presidency The resolution adopted by_the Radical group was: | “The president of the republic having, contrary to the spirit of the constitution, practiced personal poli- | tics, and having openly taken sides | with the National bloc, whose policies were defeated in the recent election, the Radical group deems that the maintenance at E ee of our citizen Millerand would be an offense to the public conscience.” An additional clause providing that “no member of the Radical party may aceept a mission from President illerand to form a cabl MAJOR H.

CANNERS WIN RIGHTS IN “BIG FIVE” SUIT California Company Allowed to In- tervene in Injunction Proceed- ings Against Paclers. $4,000,000 CONTRACT, ISSUE D. C. Supreme Court Reversed by Justice Van Orsdel’s Decision. The District Court of Appeals in an opinion by Justice Van Orsdel to- day reversed the action of the Dis- trict Supreme Court and permitted the California Cannerles Company to Intervene in the imjunction proceed- ings brought by the United States cerns, which resulted in the consent decres requiring the packers to dis- pose of interests in unrelated in- dustries. The case was remanded to the Dis- trict Supreme Court for further pro- ceedings which are expected to be attacks on the validity of the decree and the jurisdiction of the court to make it. Decree Not Questioned. “Inasmuch as the validity of the consent decree was not questioned in the court below,” says Justice Van Orsdel, “by any of the parties to the action, that question is not before us. The packers are in no position in this proceeding to assall its valid- ity. They made no attempt in the court below, by bill of review or otherwise, to have corrected what they now' assert to be errors in the original decree, hence there is no order from which to appeal. The mere statement of their lack of sub- stantial foundation upon which to tand de ates the fallacy of their position.” ontinuing, the court says: “It is not clear on just what theory the court below " should permit the grocers' associations to intervene and L A - New Patterns in Palm Beach Suits Any Palm Beach suit will keep you cool.

MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1924. deny the right of intervention to appellant, as the interests of these parties seem to be diametrically op- posed to each other. If the charge of the appellant is true, that the whole- sale groeers are using the decree against the packers to strengthen and build up a glant monoply in their various and varied lines of business, there would seem to be demand for a searching inquiry as to whether or not the. court is belng used as an agency to restrain one monopoly and thereby promote, strengthen and build up another. Clearly it is mot the: policy of the anti-trust act to ac- complish_ this result. Nor will the decree of the court below, declaring the packers' combination illegal un- der the antl-trust act, be sustained if its effect is to safeguard one public interest by the destruction of another.’ The California Canneries Compan: through Attorney Frank J. Hog: sought to intervene in the packer: case on the claim that the court lacked jurisdiction to make the decree, even though it was consented to by the defendants and that Armour & Co, had a contract with the can- neries company by which it was to take and dispose of about $4,000,000 worth annually of the output of the cannerles. In holding that the canneries com- pany should be permitted to inter- vene, Justico Van Orsdel suggests that if the consent decree was made for_the purpose of enabling Armour & Co. to avold thls contractural obli- gatlon, then the court was used as an instrument to perpetrate a fraud. and he decree would have no legal fore: )n the other hand,” says the court, f we assume, as we must, that the decree was Intended to restrain Ar- mour & Co. from doing the things therein enumerated, the effect there- of is to deprive the appellant of its rights under the contract without first giving it a day in court.” The case was before the Appellate Court on the petition of the canneries Company, which was strenuously op- posed by the Department of Justice, upholding tke validity of the consent decree ded that the decree is Counsel for the two grocers’ assoclations validity of the decs tion to intervene w; counsel representing National Council and Reconstruction League. a_nullity. wholesa asserted the and the peli- opposed by he Farmer the Peoples Counsel for the packers con- | | ment is the telegram sent (o the Mor- operation was “admirably conducted.'* and adds that the dollars which werc used were repaid by the end of March No further dollars were drawn until france in- of the and 1 followes FRENCH EXPLAIN USE OF MORGAN ADVANCE Official Statement Issued in Reply to Alleged Criticism by Herriot. tervened to che franc, and again on May 12 to stop the decline which the election.

PARIS, June 2.—The French gov- ernment today issued 2 lengthy state- ment giving the fullest details as yet published of the $100,000.000 advance made by J. P. Morgan & Co. to the French government in connection Wwith efforts to stabilize the tranc. The official statement was made on the occasion of publication of re- marks attributed to Edouard Herriot, Potential premier, in which the leader of the radical Socialist party declared that France had been treated like Turkey, and that Minister of Finance Franeois-Marsal had adopted an inex- cusable attitude in the face of the de- mand of the American bankers for guarantees in addition to gold to cover the advance. The statement, which is nearly 1,000 words long, recalls the break in the value of the franc March 11, when the French government obtained the power to draw on J. P. Morgan & Co. for $100,000,000, “to be repaid in six momths or to be settled in gold.” X P. Morgan & Co., the statement continues, demanded assurances that governmental measures would defi- nitaly be taken to convince the world that the improvement of the franc would be consolidated by the coun- try's financial poliey.
