At the right side is a covered porch of good size and rising above the roof ridge on this side also is a brick chim- ney, painted white, with small chimney pots as its crown. Small Stream and Trees a Feature. One of the most attractive features of the grounds proved to be the small stream running along the edge of the rear lot, ornamented by a rustic bridge. In the rear yard also were found numer- ous tall trees, giving good background for the cheerfully bright tones of the dwelling. Visitors found a living room of com- fortable size on entering the house through a colonial entrance, this room having an outlet onto the side porch. The stairs to the upper floor rise from the left side of the living room. To the left of the door is a coat closet suffi- ciently large to accommodate visitors' wra Beyond the living room is the dining room, with an outlook over the rear lawn, and at the left rear is a modernly designed and equipped kitchen with an adjoining pantry.

RESERVE BOARD'S DECISON IS UPHELD: Power, Under Edge Act, Ju- dicial in Apfel Case, De- cides Appeals Court. The Federal Reserve Board is em- powered by Congress under the Edge act of December 14, 1919, to perform | a judicial function when investigating | the character and competency of per- | sons applying for inccrporations for | international banking and a writ of mandamus will not lie to compel them | to grant a charter after they have disapproved the application for such reascn. This is, In effect, the decision of the | District Court of Appeals, rendered to- day when, in an opinion by Chief Jus- tice Martin, it affirmed the action of the District Supreme Court which had refused & mandamus asked by Charles L. Apfel and his associates, seeking to incorporate the Foreign Financing Corporation. The applicants claimed | they had met all the conditions of the law, but their request had been denied. The board admitted the application was in legal form, but asserted they are clothed with discretion to pass on the financial responsibility, experience, training and other qualifications of the organizers and had withheld approval In the course of his opinion the| Chief Justice says: “It is clear that | Congress was providing a_means for | conferring special and important priv- tleges upon such corporations as should be organized under the Edge act. An abuse by any corporation of the powers thus granted- to it might involve grave consequences to our public service. It is reasonable to believe that Congress intended that a careful investigation should be made by the Federal Reserve Board concerning the character and competency of the incorporators of such an enterprise as one of the means of | determining whether to grant or with- hold their approval of for incorporation.” INTERIOR SECRETARY | IS NAMED DEFENDANT Suit Filed to Test Legality of Order Canceling 0il-Drilling Applications. Secretary of the Interior Wilbur was | named defendent today in & suit for mandamus filed in the District of Co- lumbia Supreme Court by Ethel M. Mc- Lennan of Sacramento, Calif, to test the legality of the recent order of the Secretary canceling all applications for ofl prospecting permits as the result of the new policy of President Hoover to effect & real conservation of ofl and gas on public Jands. | Under the order, it is claimed, many hundreds of applications pending in the Department of the Interior March 12, when the order was promulgated, were summarily rejected without the right of appeal. | The petitioner says she is duly quali- fied under the act of February 25, 1920, to hold the prospecting permit and asserts that the Secretary of the In- terior has exceeded his authority in di- recting that her application be re- jected. She denies the claim of the department that the granting of such permits is merely permissive and not mandatory, and asks the court to re- | quire Wilbur to reinstate her claim. | Attorney Lewis E. Hoffman, who | formerly handled such cases in the | Interior Department before his resigna- | tion in 1920 and who filed the petition, declared today that for over nine years | the department nas been granting | prospecting permits under the oil leas- ing act to persons qualified to receive them. The decision of the department, he says, as well as all court decisions, held that it was mandatory for the Sec- ! retary to issue such prospecting permits to_qualified persons | The adoption of the present adminis- | tration policy, he asserts, is an usurpa- tion of the powers of Congress and a nullification of the oil leasing act.
