I LONDON, May 12.—Downing utreet,i where the official residences of the | principal cabinet members are sit ated, and Becleston square, home of | the trades union congress, witnessed wild scenes when the news broke that the general strike had been termi- nated. A cordon of special police kept the crowds out of Downing street, leav- ing the entire area of the short, nar. row thoroughfare clear for a half hun- dred of London's galloping reporters who rushed pell-mell out of No. 10 to the telephones the moment the gov- ernment spokesman uttered the words that the strike was called off.

To credit such commis- | | sions he received to the ward's estate, | {the Commissioner held, would consti- | tute a violation of the District code. Maj.

Profit Held Illegal. “If it had not been for the estate (of Adolph Adler, for which Mr. | Fenning was appointed committee,"” ! declared Maj. Arnold in his brief, “there would have been no bond to be made by him in this case; and if i he had used as surety on his official bond some other bonding company than the one he did, the effect on the trust estate might have been precisely the same; but the effect in regard to Mr. Fenning of using the company i he did has been to profit him to the {extent of one-fourth of the premiums | | charged for the bonding of the com- | mittee; and the law, as seen in the light of the two cases above mention- ed (Magruder vs. Drury and Jackson | vs. Smith) decided by the Supreme | Court of the United States, does not | {permit a fiduciary to make personal | | profit for himself out of or by reason {of the trust estate. It is not material | that_the act done does not cause loss for damage to the trust estate; the fiduclary may not make use of it to his personal profit. Any profit or gain 8o made belongs to the trust estate.” ‘The question of the 25 per cent commissions “calls simply for the ap- plication of a principle of the law which is well settled and elementary,” declared Maj. Arnold. “The principle is often expressed, in a general way, by saying that a fiduciary shall not make personal profit by the usg.of the trust estate committed to his care. But, like all principles of the unwrit | ten as distinguished from the written | or statute law, it is to be found and ! | seen only in the application which is made of it by the courts in judicial declsions. y Law Found in Decisions. “We go to the decisions of the courts of last resort and there find, not the principle in the form of writ- ten law, fixed and embodied in a cer- tgin form of words as is a statute; but we see the court applying the (Continued on Page 4, Column 1) Radio P?’gmms—l’age 25 subcommittee was instructed today t0 | \hich has been conducting hearings | continue its inquiry until the close of | oy the Fenning charges and on gen- the present session of Congress. leral administration of municipal af- ‘Commissioner Rudolph was severely | fiirc “made 'a preliminary report, criticized by members of the committee | Lon i ine G more definite report in because while he is a one-third stock-| Writing later.

The government has declared martia’ law. While there have been no previous indications of an imminent military uprising in Poland, *there has been considerable political unrest, based on the financlal situation. The ministry of Count Skryzinski resigned May 9 on a question of financial policy. After several fruit- less attempts, former Premier ‘Witos finally succeeded on Monday of this week in constituting a cabinet retain- ing most of the preceding ministers. Spelal dispatches from Warsaw to the New York Times early this month said the cabinet situation was linked with one very considerable problem— the question whether and how Mar- shal Pllsudski was to return to public life.
