All of these acts, it was alleged. In

Judge Leslie dismissed the indict

Simply a Mistake.
"It is very gratifying to me," said

Mr. Mathews, after being sen

in a cell, but allowed to remain in a

"I have received hundreds of let

said Mr. Mathews. "By pleading
guilty I have helped the people who
were interested in my institution.
Hence I am glad. I think the grand
jury system is wrong. In the first
place the bank should never have
failed. But technically I may have
been guilty. I'm inclined to give the

have no bitterness toward anyone."

consumers in New York city at a
price nt in excess ot W cents per

the suptcmc court lo be confiscatory
a to gas furnished during l'M8 and

The opinion, which wa unanunoii
and wa Heliered by Justice Me.
Keynolds in three cases, brought bv
the attorney general of New York
and other Maic official against the
Consolidated Gas conipainy of New
York, held that "rate making is no
function of the courts and should
not lie attempted, either directly or
indirectly." . .
It sustained, however, the decision
of the United States district court
which held the prescribed rate "had
been confiscatory since January .
1918 and would continue so to be."
Separate opinions, also unanimous,
were delivered by Justice McRey
nolds in the Kings County Lighting
company and the New York and
(Juccns Gas company cases. In the
former case Justice McReynolds
said: "We are satisfied that the court
below reached a correct conclusion
and that none of the points relied
upon for reversal are adequate to
justify such action."
An equally brief opinion was de
livered in the New York and Queens
Gas cac which found that the statu
tory rate of $1 per thousand which
that company was permitted to
charge for gas in the inircl warn,
had been confiscatory since January
1, 191. The court announced it
could "find no sufficient ground for
disapproving the action taken" by
the trial court.

end disorders in which two persons
were killed and 21 wounded. A

Dr. Kapp Offers lo Go
on Trial for 1920 Revolt
Berlin. March 6. (By A. P.) Dr.
Wolfgang Kapp, who led the revolu
tion in March, 1920, which resulted
in the temporary overthrow of the
EJ)ert government, has offered to
surrender for trial with the under
standing that he be given safe con
duct and not be placed under arrest.
His proposal has been forwarded to
the supreme court at Leipsig from
an unnamed port in Sweden.
The insurgent leader has been
domiciled in Sweden since his flight
from Germany. The news of Kapp's
willingness to stand trial was made
public through the Dresen Nach
richten, which prints a letter from
Kapp in which he charges that the
conviction of Trauegott von Jagow,
former chief of police of Berlin was
"a legal error." According to the let
ter Kapp proposes to demonstrate
this by standing trial on the same
charge, thereby virtually obtaining a
re-hearing for Von Jagow.
"Honor and conscience demand
that I come forward in defense of
the condemned man," the letter said.
The letter was signed by Kapp.

No Alliance in 4-Power
Treaty, New Declares
Uonllnunl From !( On.)
republican member of the foreign
relations committee, declared today
in opening in the senate discussion
of the treaties on behalf of the ad
ministration. Replying to criticism of the treat
ies, Senator New, a close personal
friend of President Harding, declared
that the four-power treaties gave
safeguards for peace to the United
States and did not impair American
sovereignty.
Detailed Comparison.
Senator New made a detailed com
parison of the treaties with the league
of nations plan and asserted that the
treaties were "co-operative," while
the league, he said, was "drastic and
compulsory" and required submis
sion of all questions to a council.
"Instead of threatening, injuring or
impairing our liberties, free institu
tions, independence and sovereignty,
this treaty (the four power measure)
adds to the security of all of them"
said Senator New. He emphasized
that rejection of the four power
treaty would continue in force the
Anglo-Japanese alliance with its
menace to America. i
Contains Similar Clause. j
Regarding the treaty provision
for conference and determination of
procedure in case of aggression,
Senator New said that the Root
Takahira agreement contained a
similar clause.
"W'e have had for a decade an ob
ligation with Japan couched in prac
tically identical language and yet
nobody heretofore has suggested
that this constituted anything resem
bling an alliance," he said. "Cer
tainly during the 10 years of its ex
istence, this has led us into no trou
ble, no embroilment, no operations
under a military alliance."
