Chief Justice Brown Affirms. 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."

It was nn ocular demonstration of

By CLINTON W. 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.
WILSON MAY ACCEPT

ARREST IS ORDERED
fPrinco Joachim Albrecht of
Prussia Attacked French Of
ficers in Berlin Hotel
VISITORS IGNORED ANTHEM
:
By the Assocrrrtms u "
Berlin, 'March 8. Guttav Koike,
minister of defense, has ordered
the provisional arrest of Prince Joachim
Albrecht, of Prussia, cousin of for
mer Emperor William, and Baron
von Platen, for engaging In an assault
upon Captain Rougbevin, a French of
fleer with tho Interallied mission in
this city, at the Adlon Hotel Saturday
night.
The attack took place in the dining
room of the hotel,' and was due to the
French officer and his colleague, Cap
tain Klein, who, with Mrs. Klein, made
a party at ooe of the tables, refusing to
stand while the orchestra played
"Deutschland Uber Alles."
Germans Hurl Crockery
Joachim and his friends hurled can
dles, crockery and other things at the
French party, and Captain Roughevin
was beaten and bad bis clothes torn.
Captain Klein was escorted out of the
dining room by waiters, who defended
him.
The episode apparently was planned
bv Joachim, who has the reputation
of being a Pan-German extremist. It
is said that he has been virtually barred
from other hotels at Berlin, where be
has attempted similar outbreaks
against foreigners. ,
Many members of the foreign com
missions Jn Berlin live nt the Adlon,
and .Toaqplin recently has been appear
ing there nightly, wearing his iron
cross and ordering the orchestra to
play "Deutschland Ueber Alles." Two
former military officers. Baron Von
Platen and Herr Gricbel, accompanied
Joachim Saturday night.
A majority of the guests in tbe din
ing room arose uher the orchestra
started tho air. and Joachim's party
began to hurl bottles and other mis
siles at tbe table where the French party
were seated when they failed to rlsr.
The v alters got Madame Klein out of
the room during the melee, but the Ger
mans knocked one of tbe waiters se.ise
less with a chair.
French MaJdng Protest
When tho prince entered the Adlon
for luncheon yesterday be was told by
the head waiter that he could not be
eerved, and that if he insisted upon
taking a seat at a table the waiters
would strike. Joachim thereupon left
the building. It is believed the atti
tude of the waiters is due to a decision
of their union, which is opposing the
reactionaries.
It is not knowu here whether the
French have taken any action as a con
(.eiuieuce of the incident, but it is ex
nected that it will lead to unnlniMint.

WILD SCENE ONJf X,
STOCK EXQHANOm
New Ycrlt, March 8. 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. Net
only were the previous losses quickly
retrieved, but some of the more active
stocks were run up more than S points
above last week's closing level. Cru
cible Steel was a prominent illustration
