By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, March 1 (Copy- right, 1921).—Few decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States | in this generation have had such a) startling effect on the work of thi Prosecuting branch of the Govern. ment as the verdict declaring uncon- stitutional the Lever Act under which Profiteers were brought to court dur- } ing and since the war. Not only does Congress find oH im more or less be perma tg 8 status of the Lever alone of the roche ace ont “aan been, purposely teft on ap ~_ books either as ‘ward for the new clas Bist Jus- tive in preventing future coal strikes oras a means of restraining the profiteers, but the Department of Jus- tice is wiped clean out of pending in- vestigations and suits, which had been begun under the Lever Act. In @ sense the decision of the Gu- Preme Court is timely, for it gives Attorney General Daugherty and the Harding Administration a clean slate and throws out scores of pending cases which would have been em- barrasaing to the Republican Admin- istration. The effect, moreever, upon business conditions the country ts admitted, for many concerns which have been suffering from reverses and & lack of profits algo had hanging over them prosecutions that bore a rela- Uonship both to their prestige and credit. FIGHTERS AGAINST PROFITEER- ING GREATLY DISAPPOINTED. Generally speaking, disappointment and satisfaction were expressed in the national capital, depending wpon the persons interviewed. Men like Senator Capper of Kansas, who has been fight- ing profiteers, eald frankly that the) decision was unfortunate and would have a bad effect psychologically. He hoped something cauld be done to cor- rect the situation by new legtslation, On the other hand, inquiry among lawyers at the Department of Justice disclosed the viewpoint that. Congress probpbly would be unable at any time to draft a law which would come ‘within the Limits prescribed by the Supreme Court as constitutional. In- deed, some went so far as to suggest that since the Supreme Court insisted that the law must state definitely what is a fair standard of prices eo as ‘to be able to inform an accused per- son of exactly what the charges are against bim, it was certainly doubtful what the Supreme Court may say hereafter about the validity of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, since that statute was just as vague and indefin~ ite as the Lever Law and made no more attompt to define what is rea- sonable or unreasonable restraint of trade any more than it bad been pos- sible to suy what a reasonable or un- reasonable profit would be. Certainly a tendency of the Su- preme Court to permit the lawe of supply and demand to operate with- out restraint of law is observed by many persons inside and outside of Congress, who think the law-making body should let business alone at all times and that the consumer had his own remedy when prices went too high. DECISION COMES AT POOR TIME, SAYS CAPPER The other viewpoint is expressed ‘vy Senator Capper, who sald to-day: “Yes, I am disappointed, and I be- be disappointed. I do not wish to criticise the Supreme Court but it ts unfortunate that a technicality should a Jaw and give the people the worst of it, “It comes at a poor time, too, for the morale of our people is still dis- turbed by the fact that lots of per- nons made large profits out of the war and will probably go soot tree, “Of course, there is not so much profiteering nowadays as there has been, but there can be no doubt that the presence of the Lever Act on the influence. The psychology of the presept decision ig bound to bd dis- rena!) pouragin, and I am going to consult abe lawyers, in the Senate and ate Whether we cannot draft a law that will reach the profiteer.” Many of the pending cases will stil!

Miss Marian H. Beckett took the witness stand this afternoon in Part VIL of the Supreme Court, in her own defense in the $200,000 suit for Allena- tion of a husband's affections brought Edwami J. Steichen, wife of the artist, Miss. Beckett is also an artist and the daughter of the late Surrogaté Charles H. Beckett, Steidh- en and Miss Beokett are declared to, have been in each other's company in 1914 at the Steichen home in Vou- langes, near Paris, while he was in }\the A BP “How about your walks with Mr. Stelchen in the garden?" Herbert Smyth, counsel for Miss Beckett, asked her. “The Garden was small; we never walked far,” answered the witness, She denied that she ever went shop- ping with Mr. Steichen.. Asked about the report that Mr. Steichen designed ithe petuntas for her to embrdider on he? chaniise, she sad |: he had designed petunias for her to embroider’ on two robes. ‘Then her lawyer asked her about the “long, straight robes" whitch, according to the plaintiff, Miss Beckett wore at Voulangts., “I had a few robes made from a model of (Mrs, Steichen’s dresses,” she said. “They were the same as robes made by three or four other girls staying there.” The witness remembered having posed for panels. Whenever she posed for the plaintiff's husband, she testi- fied, she Was properly clothed, On one occasion, she said, she posed in the foyer of a residence in New York for (Mr. Steichen, but other people were walking in and out and around. “To the best of my recollection,” said the witness, “{rs. Steichen would often complain to me of her ‘busband’s fondness for other women. In the autumn, 1911, when I was stop- ping at the inn in Voulangis, Mra. Steichen said she was very unhappy and began to talk to me about Miss Duncan and said she was going to drowm herself. Thought there must be some physical ailment to make her talk that way and I advised her to see the doctor. “Sometime later { came upon Mrs, Steichen sr. weeping in the garden, while from the house came sounds of an altercation between Mr, and Mrs. Steichen. The plaintiff, I understood, always said that her husband cared fore for his mother than for her. The next day Mrs, Steichen, the plaintifr, saw the doctor and she was operated upon for appéndigitis.” Miss Beckett said that on one occa- sion ehe had gone to a theatre in Paris, accompanied by Mrs. Steichen sr. to see Isadora Duncan dance. The witness’ said when she left Voulang’s in the fall of 1913, Mra. Steichen was “very enthusiastic’ about her coming back in 1914 and that throughout the winter of 1913- 1914 the plaintiff kept writing to her telling her how much he missed her, During the summer of 1914, sald the defendant, she spent much more time with Mrs. Stelohen than with Mr. Steich€n and was constantly in at- tendange of Mrs, Steichen when she was ill. “Did Mr, Steichen ever bring flowers to your room, or did hie ever display any wuffections?" asked Mr. Smythn . “No; never!" was the answer, Mrs. Steichen was called to the stand early in the day’s session. In @ letter to Miss Beckett, Mre. Steichen accused “waiting in the breed line for crumbs of Duncan's favor.” The person termed “Duncan” was qualified later as Isadora Duncan, with whom Steichen was said to have had “an affair” in 1906, Much of the croas-examination of Mra. Steichen was ordered stricken from the records by Justice Cohalan. One paragraph In a letter denounced Miss Duncan because, at a Valentine husbana the European dancer “danced among the Madonna which attended, party at her (Steichen) ilies @ mother,” Mrs, Steichen said on the witness stand that her husband's reputation as an artist was based on the sketches he made of her (Mra. Steichen) before Several draped they were married, poses of Miss Beckett, fondling clus- ters of potunias, were offered as ex- hibit. Mrs, Steichen testified that her hus- band told her during a long walk in a forest “that he tried to live with ‘Duncan’ in 1915, but couldn't bring himself to do it.” ‘The Steichens were married in 1999] ! and Mr. Steichen, who was a and have two children, Katherine, friend of Rodin, the sculptor, joined the A.
