HIGHEST COURT RESTRAINS THE THEFT OF NEWS Injunctions Granted to Asso ciated Press Against Piracy Are Sustoined Today* Washington. Dec. 23.—Injunctions granted The Associated Press to stop pirating of news by the International j News Service were sustained to-day J by the Supreme Court of the United I States. Associate Justice Pitney, [delivering the opinion, began wi{h a review of the case. As between the public and news gathering organizations. Justice Pit ney expressed doubt whether there could be any property in uncopy ; righted news. As between rival news [ gathering organizations, he saUl. there was a quasi property interest. Referring to contentions of the International NeWh Service that The Associated Press was guilty of the same practices charged against the defendants. Justice Pitney said that there is nothing in the proceedings that piys The Associated Press in | the position of having "unclean I hands." | Justice Holmes, in an associate : opinion, said he partially agreed j with the majority, but dissented from the principle that there is property In news. Justice Pitney announced that Justice Clarke took no part in the proceedings. The court declared the processes used by the International News Serv ] ice in taking Associated Press news: I amounted to an "unauthorized inter-; ! ference with the normal operation j 6f complainant's legitimate bus- j i iness." "The transaction speaks for itself j j and a court of equity ought not to ] hesitate long in characterizing it as! j unfair competition in business," j j Justice Pitney said, discussing the | I taking of Associated Press news mat -1 sick headache, dullness, feverlshness. i sore throat, sneezing, soreness and i stiffness. i "Pape's Cold Compound" Is the i quickest, surest relief known and i cost- only a few cents gt drug stores. It acts without assistance, tastes nice, and causes no inconvenience. Don t accept a substlttit* Insist on i "Pape's"—nothing else. ter by, the International News Serv ice. Rival's Contention Untenable The International News Service's contention that The Associated Press relinquishes its property rights to news matter when it is published, the court held "is untenable." Justice Holmes, who was joined ' in his associate opinion by Justice McKenna, said Press was justified in having an injunction ■ against new? piracy for a certain number of hours unless competitors publishing news in the Interim cred ited to The Associated Press. Upholds Restraint Restraining orders preventing the i International News Service from ln , ducing persons to communicate to it Association Press news in advance of publication or persuading mem bers of The Associated Press to vio late that organizatfon's by-laws were upheld. The Supreme Court affirmed de crees of the circuit court of appeals enjoining the defendant from taking for the purpose of selling to its own customers news appearing on bulle tin boards or in early editions of Associated Press papers. Justice IVrnndcis Dissents Justice Brandeis delivered a dis senting opinion, disagreeing both with the majority and the views of Justices Homes and McKenna.

Homes on city blocks plncc the Red Cross emblems In their .win dows. and when every house in a block has such k display then the block is in the hundred per cent, class. "Well,",' said a man from near Thirteenth and Market streets this morning, '"I know why that block Is not n hundred per center. There's a doctor on It who has never displayed a Liberty Loan, Red Cross, \V. S. S., War Work, or any other emblem and whether he has subscribed to bonds or given to the war work I don't know, but I do know that he hasn't proved It by letting his light shine from the window." Many Kinpty Windows "O, that's nothing," said another man from out near the corner of Fourth and Hamilton. "There's a house out our way that has n service llag In the window—showing a boy In the army, but there's no Red Cross emblem there." "Well," said another man, "you take the Market street block from Eighteenth to Nineteenth, and you'd think that folks who lived in such a block could afford a dollar for the Red Crqss. But if you give that block ! the 'onceover' you will see thut not i a few of the householders are 'hold j ing out.' " "And you might take a swing ! along Walnut street, out on the Hill> j and you'd see the same thing," said J another man. | "But why go out on the Hill?" in j terposed a bystander. "Go out Third ] street a short ways and you'll have your eyes opened." "Or you might try walking on i Front street," said another man. j These little conversations and bits . of persiflage and by-play were oc- I curring all morning, and those who i stood back and listened got a very ' accurate insight as to conditions in I Harrisburg. Campaign Closes To-nlglit At noon to-day the membership I total for the Red Cross stood near j the 24,000 mark, and an effort was | being made to hit 30,000 before the : campaign closes nt 8 o'clock to night. When it is said that the cani j paign closes it means merely that J the workers are called off and spe- I cial headquarters closed, but mem j berships will be received at al! times : at Red Cross regular headquarters at Front and Walnut. • Some excellent returns arc expect ! cd from Hershey hnd other big towns I in the district, from the Pcnnsylva- I nia and the Philadelphia and Read ing railroads and from the Pipe j Bending plant.

CAPTAIN REILEY TELLS OF FINAL BATTLES OF'WAR Wouiulcd, Harrisburg Cap tain Lay Helpless on Bat tlefield For Eight Hours Sprayed with gas, paralyzed for weeks from tnc force of an exploded shell, left lying for hours on the battlefield, transported In supply trucks, swaying boxcars, sent from one hospital to another In an effort to give him the use of his logs fh\<\ voice,—all these arc but a f<v of i the experiences of Captain James McKendree Reiley, Company C, 311 th Machine Gun Battalion of the 79th Division, who after four months ;of overseas service is In Harrlsburg again. Captain Reiley's story is a tale of sprnylng machine guntlre, rolling barrages, heroic advances in the face of opposition from myriads oi ma into the storm of heavy artillery and Into the sotrm of heavy artillery and gas shell fire. It id a story well worth the telling. But Cap's In Reiley wont tell It. Ask him about the privates In his company, and he will wax eulogistic and eloquent over their achievements. Ask hlin about his exploits and his experiences un der fire, and you dre talking tc. a taciturn man. ft Is the way with the returning soldle - hero, and Cap tain Reiley lives up to the Army's traditions. On January 3, Captain Ueiiey will return to the General Hospital at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, where he first recovered the use of nls legs after a month of paralysis, caused by hemmorhagc of the spinal cord, developed by an exploding shell wh'ch lnnrfed too close to lilm. It all took place in the Argonne- Meuse offensive, where the victorious .Americans pushed on from early in the morning of September 25, until the Hunslgned the armistice. After tbe capture o' Moturaucoii. which Captain Reiley helped to effect, he "got his." He was directing the fire of his machine gunn-ira. who occu* pied a ridge behind ho advancing infantry. The German shell ex ploded. and that | was al lhte Cap tain knew for eight hours. His orderly got him to a dress ing station in the rear. There fol lowed an anxious period of trans fer from dressing station to evacua tion liospltnl, to base hospital, to embarkation hospital, and via Amer ican transport to a debarkation hospital at Hampton. Va.. and fin ally to the General Hospital at Bal timore, where miracles of modern medical skill enabled him to walk again, and in time will remove nil traces of stiffness Tom his limbs, and hoarseness from Lis 'hroat, where the gas effects still are ap parent. Showing how small the world really Is when nearly all its popu lation is engaged in a Krent cause. Captain Reiley told how at the hare hospital in Mars-sur-Allier, Franco, his Red Cross nurse was Miss Meese, of Palmyra; and on the transport his physician, the transport surgeon, wast Dr. Smith, formerly of North Sixth street. One of his lieutenants was George Kunkel, son of Presi dent Judge Kunkel. and two Harris burg hoys were in his company.
