22. The German embassy, basing its views upon an intimate knowledge of conditions in the dual monarchy, is certain that the death of Emperor Francis Joseph and the ascension of Charles Francis Joseph will result in renewed military activity of a most energetic character. The dead monarch, by reason of his age and his infirmities, has taken no more than a passively active part in the war plans for some months. The new ruler has been actively engaged on various fronts where the Austro- Hungarian armies have been operating during the last two years. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, feels that from an internal political viewpoint, the death of the Austrian emperor will not have the slightest effect on the war.

"Despite the fact that the evening left no a doubt about the embulletin peror's serious condition, the people of Vienna still maintained their firm belief in his power of recuperation, and the news of his death, published about 11 o'clock, had a paralyzing effect upon the public.

a conference here today between Attorney-General Gregory and railroad attorneys, tentative plans were made to center the contest over constitutionality of the Adamson law in one test case and expedite an early hearing in the supreme court. Exclusive Dispatch to Evening Express by Associated Press Day Wire KANSAS CITY, Nov. -The Adamson eight-hour law was held unconstitutional here today by Judge William C. Hook in the United States MAYOR PROBES SOCIAL CLUBS OF CITY Cheap social clubs, which are clubs in name only, and are really one-man owned organizations, operated solely for the profit to be made out of the sale of liquors after regular saloon hours, are going to be rigidly investigated by Mayor Woodman and the police authorities. It developed today that there are 26 social clubs, although the limit of the number of social liquor permits fixed by the social club liquor ordinance is 24.

That several of these organizations easily could be proved to be one-man organizations, and are operated by the manager, who is really the owner of the establishment, for the liquor profits, was the statement today of an official connected with the police commission, Gathers Data That the clubs are now being looked into by Mayor Woodman's secret, police investigator, and that charges will soon by filed against several organizations, in an effort to revoke their permits, was also admitted at the city hall today. Mayor Woodman admitted that he plans to go thoroughly into the liquor clubs today. That the data is being gathered for the information of mayor, as to how the ordinance hibiting the sale of liquor for cash is being observed, and also in gard to the distribution of fake memberships in these clubs, was also learned on good authority. "The so-called social clubs, consisting of a bar, a pool table and a barrel of whisky are one of the worst hotbeds for breeding crime Los Angeles," was the statement today of an official close to the mayor. Fishy Look "We hope to shake down a few of these clubs and to imbue a healthy respect for the law among these organizations.

"Reports filed by many of the clubs in regard to their liquor sales and other revenues have a distinctly fishy look. The fact is that the bulk of the cheaper organizations are selling credit checks for cash before the purchase of liquor is made, and these checks are turned in, in payment for liquors, SO there is really no monthly bill for liquors to be settled for, such as is the case in bona fide clubs. It is a cash liquor sale thinly covered and the transaction is not in conup formity with the spirit of the social club liquor ordinance." Deutschland Thought To Be Clear of U. S.

ARREDONDO MAY GO TO EUROPE WASHINGTON, Nov. -It was rumored today that Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate, would soon be given a post in Europe by General Carranza. district court. Judge Hook directed the receivers of the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad, who brought the original action in this case, to enjoin the law from going into effect, to aid the government in the case to the supreme United expediting, States for final decision and instructed them, through their attorneys.

to invite the representatives of every railroad in this country to participate in the hearings before the highest court in the land. This was requested in the government's motion to dismiss the injunction petition of the railroad, the government desiring to avoid "prolonged. unnecessary and scattered litigation," through the hearing of 'countless similar suits filed by every railroad system in federal district in the United States through which their lines run. Test 'Validity of Act The text. of Judge Hook's decree follows: "This is an independent suit to enjoin the enforcement of a recent act of congress, commonly called the Adamson law, upon the ground that it is contrary to the constitution.

In the character of the averments, the plaintiff's bill complaint is stated to be typical of aL number recently filed by railroad companies in varioug district courts of the United States. "A motion to dismiss has been presented on behalf the defendant United States attorney. The sole question raised by it is that of the constitutionality of the law. The court is informed that the other cases stand on applications for temporary injunctions. "An an order granting or refusing a temporary injunetion goes to the circuit court of appeals and not further by ordinary procedure, while an appeal from a final order or decree in such a case would go direct to the supreme court of the United States.

In the former 8. decision would be inconclusive; in the latter a decision would definitely settle the question for the whole country. Case Goes to Supreme Court "The motion to dismiss the case here, however, it is decided, will promptly result in a final decree which an appeal will be taken to the supreme court. "The assistance of this court has been invoked to facilitate a final and authoritative determination of the constitutional question, The case was presented but yesterday and a decision is expected today. It is far from being agreeable duty for a judge to record a judicial conclusion without the care and deliberation essential to al conviction that he would stand to in every circumstance.

"Upon the merits of al case the government neither asks nor receives from a court greater consideration than is required by the setted rules and presumptions of law, but a request by the department of justice to aid the progress of a case consistently with the rights of every one can not be declined, certainly not for personal consideration. "Upon a consideration of the Adamson law and of what is said of its practical effect and what was intended to be accomplished by it, the judgment is that as the court construes the terms of the law, it cannot be sustained. "Since both parties have said they would not plead further whatever the decision might be, a decree will be entered for the plaintiff, reciting that defendant and is allowed an appeal in an open court. The case in which the plaintiffs were appointed receivers is in charge of the judge who is acting here. 'An order will be entered in that case directing plaintiffs and their counsel to cooperate with department of justice in lodging the appeal in the supreme court by December 4 next, and in then moving for the advancement thereof for such early hearing as that court may find it consistent to grant; also invite counsel for all railroad companies and others similarly interested in the question involved to participate in the presentation of the motion to advance and in the arguments on the merits as fully as though their clients were parties to this litigation.
