GERMAN LINES GET TAX REBATE ORDER Federal Court Gives Total of More Than $1,000,000 Based on Treaties. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 19.—Federal Judge Julian W. Mack ruled today that Ger- man steamship lines are entitled to a rebate of more than $1,000,000 paid to the United States in extra tonnage taxes between October, 1920, and No- vember, 1921, when the Government held that no marine reciprocal agree- ment existed with Germany following upon the close of the World War. In Test Case. cdge Mack's decision was given in - ,l:!tgcnse brought against the United States by the Gans Steamship Line and Rickmers Rohederel A. G., in which the German companies contended the Han- seatic and Prussian treaties, drawn with the United States in 1827 and 1828, were restored to full force and effect with the close of hostilities between Germany and the allies. ‘The assessments, at $1 a ton in ex- eess of the regular 6-cent tax, were made on the first German vessels to enter American ports after the war. ‘The practice was suspended by order of President Warren G. Harding, who decided Germany was not discriminat- | ing against American vessels.

SPAIN MOVES STERNLY | TO PRESERVE TIMBER Man Who Cuts Down Tree Must Plant Two and Pay Fine for Act. ALICANTE, Spaln (#).—The man who makes two trees grow in this province where only one grew before gets a medal; the man who cuts down a tree has to plant two in its place, and be- sides is fined.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 19.—King Solomon, in determining a baby's parentage, was faced with the problem of only one | baby, two women and a menacing sword, but Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, health com- missioner, was called upon today to as- certain if the baby sons of the Willlam Watkins and the Charles Bambergers were mixed up in the tagging of new- borns at the Englewood Hospital, where they arrived on June 30, within an hour and a half of each other. Blood tests today failed to throw any light on their parentage. Dr. Kegel, assisted by a corps of sci- entists, is making a study of the babies and their parents. They measured skulls, took blood counts, determined skin and eye pigmentation, hair classifi- cation and other factors, but the health commissioner said it would take several days to arrive at a conclusion. Belief that the bables had been ex- changed came when the Watkins took their child home and discovered a strip of adhesive tape marked “Baml r” on its back. Search revealed that a similar piece of tape removed from the baby in the Bambergers' home read “Watkins.” Matters were further complicated to- day because the parents, despite the printed tapes, believe they have the right children. These strips, hospital authorities said, - B CioauEY 200 1 are put on bables immediately after birth, but Watkins asserted today that no such tape had been put on his child at that time. It was further learned that a nurse in charge of the children had left them alone to “run down for a cup of coffee” and upon returning had found them dressed. The hospital would not give out her name. Dr. Kegel sald the situation should clear up, because one child is Semitic and the other Nordic. —_— COLOR ISSUE REVERSES $25,000 DAMAGE SUIT| Georgia Supreme Court Holds Law Takes No Cognizance of Race in Dealing Justice. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, July 19.—The law takes no cognizance of race or color in Georgia, the State Supreme Court held today in answering a question in a $25,- | 000 damage sult filed by E. E. Shipp against the Atlanta Soca Cola Bottling Co. Shipp was given judgment for $10,000 in Fulton Superior Court, but the Su- preme Court held that some of the| evidence and argument was improper. In defending the case, the bottling company contended that it carefully in- spected every bottle sent out from its plant and was not responsible if Shipp drank some broken glass, as he alleged in his petition. ‘The plaintifi’s attorneys called atten- tion to the fact that the inspectors for company were “persons of color.” This evidence and reference to colored woman inspectors in the argument of counsel for the plaintiff constituted grounds for reversing the lower court, the Supreme Court ruled. “The law takes no care as to color,” | the Supreme Court stated. “The law knows no color; indeed it is colorblind. The goddess of justice is represented with bandaged eyes.” 930—PART ONE. WONEN ACCLAM * CIEENSHP LAY |Thousands of Americans Wedded Abroad Regain Their U. S. Privileges. | By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 19—Thousands of American-born women, married to for- | elgners and living abroad, have joyfully | hailed the news from Washington that the Cable act has so been amended that they will be able without much diffi- ,cgl!ty to regain their American citizen- | ship. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, president of the National Women's party, whose | daughter, Mrs. Jacques Balsan, born Consuelo Vanderbilt, former Duchess of Marlborough, is one of the outstand- ing American heiresses married to a Frenchman, said: |, “I am deeply gratified. This bill was | introduced in Congress by the National | Women’s party and we have devoted nearly a year to working for its pas- sage.” Other Marriages Noted. Among international marriages with- in the past few years are those of Vir- ginia ‘Willys, gnugheer of John North Willys, Toledo automobile manufacturer, to Louis de Aguierre, scion of an im- | Guy de Bourg de Bozas, daughter of Joseph Fuller Feder of New York to the Frenci inventor-aristocrat; former | Mrs. Anso: Burchard of New York | to Prince Fenry, 33rd Reuss, important family of the German-Polish frontier; | the former Mrs. Gifford A. Cochran of New York to Prince Chlodwig Hohen- lohe-Schillingsfurst of Austria, and Princess Ilynsky, daughter Audrey of the late John J. Emery of New York to Grand Duke Dmitri of Russia. A subcommittee of the Paris Vassar Alumnae group, with headquarters at the Women’s University Club here, has & long secret list of American-born women married to foreigners who are anxious to have back the nationality of their birth but who feel unable to re turn to the United States every few years to re-establish their rts as was necessary under the 1922 Cable bill. Titled Names on List. ‘There are several titled names on the list, according to its vice chairman, the Countess of Lauzanne de Vouroussel, formerly Ethel Macomber, a Vassar Alumna. The committee chairman is Mrs. Maurice Guinet. “To give jout the names of women who have manifested their interest in re-establishing their American citizen- ship would be a breach of faith,” the Countess of Lauzanne explained, “since undoubtedly many women communi- cated with the committee for women's nationality rights without the knowl- edge of their husbands.” RESENT “VERBOTEN” Modern Germany Holds Blunt and Imperialistic.
