De cision of Lower Court Refus ing Injunction to Halt Sports "NOT NUISANCE," HE HOLDS In nn opinion written by .Chief Jus tlce Brown, the Sunreme Court of Pennsylvania toduy affirmed tho decree of 'Court No. 5, which refused an in junction, sought by various Sabbatari an associations, to restrain the plajig of baseball and lawn tennis and otlnr outdoor sports in Falrmount Park on Suhdays. The suit had been brought in the name of the commonwealth against the nark rommlssioners and tbe city authorities, following the adoption by the commis sion of the resolution on May 14,"1010, which permitted "baseball and tennis in certain sections of tho great public recreation grounds.. Staalie Denied, Order ThesItev. T. T, Mutchler was a crime mover in' 'opposing the games, and a number 'off Sunday alliances and asso cjatioDScpmbined in an attack on the right of the .park commissioners' to al low' the games.'' X thorough hearing was had.in. he'lower court, and in an elab orate opinion Judtje "William Hf'Staake denied a restraining order against the garnet. Trie appeal to tne mgner court followed. Chief Justico, Brown prefaces his opinion with the explanation that the bill of complaint before the court seeks to' restrain, by 'injunction, alleged vio lations of tho act of April 27. 1704, commonly known an tho- "Sunday law," or tbe old "blue" laws. Justice Brown then refers to the resolution adonted bv the 'nark commissioners on May 14 last, giving permission for tbe games, wnicn consisted cniony or lawn tennis and baseball. "The learned court below," be continues, "was ap parently of the opinion that the bill of complaint ought to be dismissed be cause, in view of changed social condi tions and the general opinion ot toe public, at tbe present time, as to IcgitM mate Sabbath occupations, the matters of which the appellants complain were not to be regarded as violations of the act of 1704, "It is not necessory that wo pass uoon the correctness of this, ns the bill was properly dismissed for the control ling reason that tno caso as presented by tho complainants did not call for the exercise of equitable jurisdiction. That equity can interfere to restrain the alleged violations is u proposition unsupported by reason or any known authority." Says Wrong Course Taken The justice then points out that a section of the old law provides a pen alty, or punishment, for any and all violations of its provisions, and tho remedy for the complainants, if there had been violations, was the imposition cf the penalty on the offenders. Their fruity suit for an injunction was the wrong course for them to take, the justice explains, and he continues : "For what was made nn offense by 't.iat act, it provides a penalty. Players f tenuis and boseball, if they violated tho act, were punishable ; if their play ing did not violate It, thoy were not runishable, and they cannot be re strained from playing their games un lets .their games become a nuisance."

GILBERT Staff Corrmpoodcnt nf the Etenlur FuMIe Iitdter Waeiilrurton, March 8. President Wilson wijl make public today a let ter giving hje position in regard to treaty reservations, particularly iu re gard to Article X. Nothing has been dibclosed as to what he has written. Ho has been at work .for several dayo upon the letter and has' revised and al tered it several times. These altera tions do not Indicate change of mind, but rather a determination to make tbe justification of bis attitude so clear that the public will understand it and that the issue of tho treaty may be taken into tbo campaign with confi dence. The expectation here is that the President will not close the '.")r to compromise, which may lead to the ratification of the treaty. In tho treaty tight it is his move, and he is about to make it. The Republicans have maneuvered so that if the treaty is de feated responsibility for its defeat will rest upon the .Democratic party. The Democratic party does not want this responsibility. The Democratic senators' have' shown that they do not want it, by insisting upon having in structions from the President before voting finally on Article X. The effect of all this has been to make responsibility for the defeat of the treaty, if tho defeat comes, rest squarely upon tho President personally. The newspaper correspondents have been writing ''from here for some time that only tho President stood in the way of ratification. Treaty Tate "Up ta President" Senator Hitchcock's opposition. to rat ification has been virtually that there was no use .of passlhg' the 'treaty with the Lodge reservation. -otf-Article X be cause the treaty ,tbus ratified would be, r.igeonnoiea., .senator, uiass, atter ax talk "vrlth. the President, is reported to havo given the Democratic tenators' conference- that' information. . fhe -result is, th'at-tbe treatyls fate had been for some time, in the favorite lannguago.of the 'Capitol, "up to the nvrwiagrirT'tie piest-uie uu-tBd'Pyes. want in this situation .has been tre mendous. His closest friends AtiAitiA. vUerB have been urging him to seek a compromise. , Under-these circumstances it is likelv that the President' will seek to shift responsibility for defeatlne the treatv back to tHe Republicans, by trying to demonstrate to tne punuc his position all along has been reasonable and is still reasonable, that It is not he, but Mr. Lodge, who Is' obstinate, and unyielding. With regard to the Lodgo reservation on Article X there can be little doubl the President is not going to accept it. He is understood to have told Senator Glass that that reservation destroys the covenant, and that if tbe covenant is-i to bo destroyed be will pigeonhole the treaty and make his fight before the country In the next campaign. Would Have U. S. Load League His argument in that if the United States enters tho league with such res ervations as that on Article X its in fluence in Europe will be destroyed. This country must hnve leadership in the league, and it cannot have leadership if it enters the league only as a partner with limited liability. i In his letter Mr. Wilson will proba bly try to make this clear, demonstrat ing to the country so as to go before It, I if necessary, on this Issue, that it is not I I e, but the Republicans, who have" beat tn the treaty by destroying the league, I upon which tho treaty was based. i But it will hardly bo enough to justify ni iiueiuuu jn recusing to accept Mr. Lodge's Artlcle.X. The pressure upon tbe President to coinnromlse is pnor. I mous. And-be must do more than show 1 why be will not take Mr. Lodge's (reservation. Simply to say no to that proposition will lead lb a few days to the failure of the Senate to rntifv. the defeat of tho treaty nnd the making Mil ii u pouucai issue. Must Explain Clearly , Besides saylnc. and satinr ronvinc. iugly, why he will not take Mr. Lodge's Article X, he must show what he will take and why he will take It. Senator Glass reported that he be lieved tho President to be willing to tuko what is known as tho bipartisan reservation on Article X. Tbe President is understood not to have said in so many words that bo would accept this reservation. But the Democratic sena tors hopo thnt he will indicate a willing ness to accept it or tell exactly what he will accopt. If ho thus holds the door open for compromise a, new effort of the Re publicans nnd Democrats to get together Mill bo made upon the busis of this pro posal. What may come of it is im possible to predict. The Republican leaders in the Senate are as obstinate as the President himself. But tho preh sure for compromise is strong.

Confllcting're ports concerning the Supreme Court decision in me siock aiviaena case pro- in duced the wildest scenes on the floor oft the stock exchange, with the most vio lent fluctuations witnessed in many years. A flush given by one of the financial news bureaus stating that tbe Supreme Court ruled that, stock dividends am income, therefore taxable, knocked the breath out of Wall 6treet. and provoked a veritable floor of liquidation and fero cious short selling by the professional traders. Prices broke violently in all dlrec- tlons, with one to three points between sales, and extending over 10 points in the stocks of those companies, which had deferred action on proposed stock divi dend payments until tho court bad given its decision. When the market seemed to be oa verge of complete demoralization, an entirely different interpretation of tb decision was furnished by tbe Associa ted Press, which stated that tbe court decided that stock dividends were not income, and any taxation was uncon stitutional. The conflicting versions had the entire " market community for a time up in the air, but as the later advices substan tiated the correctness of the Associated Press reports, there was immediately violent rebound in prices, resulting in a wild stampede in tbe bear camp.
