The meeting was held under the auspices of the Horrors of the Rhine Committee, of Which Dr. Edmind Von Mach is the head. With the -exception of the eiection of four noisy persons, there was no dis- turbance. American Legion officers were posted in the audience to prevent a dem- onstration by Legion members.

Atier declaring Lhat recent events had proved militarism’ to-bé a’danger and fiot a safeguard, and branding communism as “an_ignoble -fraud,” Ambassador Davis devoted most of his smeech to Angio- Amierican relations. He expressed the balief that Fngiand and America would continue to Nvc in peacs and friendship, alluding to “the currents of Sentiment that flow broad and deep” between tho two nations. ‘and “the strong ‘oo ni of blood drawn from a commen source and shed in a common cause.” the am- bassador asked wlat good thing these tions mizht seek apart which could not be attained in large measure if they pursued harmony and union. “What legitimate aim has Great Bri tain, which American co-operation = will ot promote?” he inquired. “What law- fui end does America contempiate which Tritish support will not heip her to at- tain?

SECTIONS OF THE LEVER ACT DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL ‘Washington, Feb. 28.—The supreme court today held unconstitutional the sections of the Lever act under which the government stopped the coal strike of 1919 and subsequently launched its cam- paign to reduce the cost of living by prosecuting hoarders of and profiteers, in foodstuffs and other necessities. 4 The court’s opinion was rendered cifically in an appeal %y the government from a decree in lower courts quasing an indictment against an alleged profit- eer in sugar, but it WAs sweeping .in its terms and will have the effect of ending al] prosccutions instituted by the depari- ment of justice in its cost of living came paizn. . The action of the government in ob- ining injunctions to stop the strike of bituminous-miners in November, 1919, was not before the court, but department of justice officials said that it was under section four, which was held invalid, that the government had proceeded against the miners, The opinion of the court was based largely on the indefiniteness of the sec- tions under review. Chief Justice White, departing from his prepared opinion, re- marked that the scope of. the sctions apparently was “as broad as human ima- gination” and that the ‘degree of crimi- nality was léft to ever changing stand- ards.” Assogiate Justices Brandeis and Pitney dissented as to the reasoning by which the court's decision was reached, but concurred in the resuit. The chief justice said in his written opinion that the sections under discus- sion did not “constitute a fixing by con- gress of an ascertainable of standard of guilt” ang were not “adequate to inform persons acoused of violations thereof of the nature and cause of the accusation against them.” The wide latitude of possible interpre- tation was clearly evidenced, he said, by the varied assortment of cases brought before the court to test the act. These cases, numbering ten in all, ranged from specific convictions to. denial of injunc- tiong sought by retailers to restrain gov- ernment agents from proceeding against them. pealed from adverse decisions of lower courts, quashing indictmen:s, and in oth- ers it defended decisions i its favor. Observe that the sections forbid no specific or definite act,” Justice. “To attempt to enforce these sections would be the exact equivalent of an ef- fort to carry out a statute which, in terms, mereiy penalized or punished all acts detrimental to public interests when jurious or unreasonable in-the estima- fon of a court and a jury. ‘We ‘are of the opinion that the court below was clearly right in ruling thnl’ the mere existence of a state of war could not. suspend or change the operation of #the - guarantees and limitations of the ffth and sixth amendments such as we are here passing:upon.” - - These sections of the Constitution/ de- in all criminal prosecntions|: the accused “shall have the right to be informed of the naturc and-eause of tne accusation” and that the charge must be specifically set forth in the indictment returned against him. Section ‘four of the Lever act made it unlawful “to limit facilties for trans- porting, producing, harvesting, manufac- turing, storing or dealing in any neces- sities ; o restrict distribution of any mec- essities; to prevent, limit or lessen the production of any necessities in order to| enhance the price thereof, or to exact ex- | cessive priceg for any necessities.” The court took as the test case thal of the L. Cohen Grocery Company of St Louis, which had been indicted for viol: tion of the act, because of the sale of fifty pounds of sugar for $10.07, or at the rate of more than 20lcents a pound. De- cision of lower courts sustaining a de- murrer to the indictment on the ground | that the section violated the fifth amend- ment was affirmed by the supreme court. | Justice White then took up the other nine cases in turn, giving the effect of today’s_decision. CHIEF DERECTOR OF THE PROFITE S HAS RESIGNED New York, Feb. 28.—The resignation of Armin W.

P.) The last body tonight was believed to have been removed from the debris of the yreck last nigh’ when a New York Central train cut in two a Michigan Cen- tral flyer at the intersection of the two lines here, but identification of the dead stil] was progressing slowly. The official list of dead (onight stood at 37, but little more than a score of these had been lden*ified posi ively. Sev- eral other bodies were partly identified through elimination proceedings in pass and ticket lists of the trains. Seven or eight of the bodies, however, may never be identified. The wreck left them in such condition they could mot be recog- nized. Oniy one part of the debris remained to be searched tomorrow, the twisted bra~en hulk of the New York Central engine which tore through the wooden Michigan Central passenger coach with such ferss that it was buried several feet in the soft corth. This had been partly under- mined, however, and it was thought thgt all of the bodies had been recovered. No statement has been made public by the engineer and firemen of the Michi- gan Central train. They escaped serious they related their stories to operating The engineer later went to his home in Jackson, Mich;, it was said. Dr. H. O. Seipel. coroner of Porter county, said he would not attempt to start an inquest until the identification work had been finished. lie predicted that this might be.a week -or- nfore.

The German foreign secretary, upon arrival here ,declined to discuss his counter-proposals, saying he had not yet got in touch with the other delegations, and until that happened there was noth- ing to add to his speeches. Besides, he was tired after his journey, and, like most of his conferes, retired to the apartments reserved for him. 3 An_exception, to the rule was General Von Seecht, a dapper little figure in the navy-blue mufti and monocle so popular among /German officers, who quickly de- nosited his baggaze in his room and was down in the ,corridor an interested spec- tator at the arrival of the tail end of the delegation and curiously scrutinizing the other guests at the hotel.
