SEATTLE. May 17. Mayor George F. Cotterlll today vetoed the Council bill known aa the anti-red flag ordinance, and which waa passed because of the red flag demonatratlon on May day. The Mayor In his veto says: "t'nder the terms of this bill practi cally every fraternal and labor organi sation banner ordinarily used In their processions would be unlawful under the four-Inch block-letter requirement. practically every such banner haa a distinctive or figurative design and the accompanying letters are usually ornamental. "Again, the language used in con nection with the use of the National emblem of a foreign nation recog nised by the Government of the Ijnitea States, literally construed, would pro hibit the carrying In any procession In Seattle of such flaga as the green flag of the harp of Ireland, and other sim ilar Instances might be given. "This bill. If It becomes an ordinance, would prohibit tha parading in our streets of military or naval forces, or visiting uniformed organizations from neighboring or friendly foreign coun tries unless they would carry at the head of their processions the American flag." The Mayor submits the draft of an unobjectionable bill which would still forbid the red flag. rphatn to Have Vacation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May J7. Lieutenant B.

Bigrlow, of Boston, Pro moter of OM Dominion Copper Company,' loses Decision in Supreme Court. WASHINGTON. May 27. One of the largest Judgments tfralnst an Individu al ever decreed by the Supremo Court of the United States was announced today against Albert 8. Biftolow, of Boston. He will be called upon to pay a judgment of 11.100, 000. together with Interest, which probably will bring the total to S3.SOO.000. The victor In the suit Is the Old Dominion Copper Mining and Smelting Company. Blge low and Leonard Lewlsohn. of New York, promoted the company and while owning Its stock, sold to U property at an enormous profit. They sold their stock to "the Innocent public." With the company under control of the "Innocent stockholders." It sued Lewlsohn In New York for the pro fits. The company lost. Then Bigelow waa sued by the com pany in Massachusetts and the courts of that state laid down the far-reaching principle that the company, no longer controlled by Its promoters, could rescind its contract to purchase the property from them and make Bigelow account. Consequently Bige low was directed to pay the company 12.100.000. Corporation lawyers are In s quan dary tonight as to the law. The Su preme Court. In 1,08. affirmed the New York decision, which held the company could not recover, while today It like wise affirmed the Massachusetts de cision, which allowed the recovery. The decision today dealt exclusively with the question whether the Massa chusetts Court was controlled by the New York decision on the "full faith and credit clause.' of the Constitution. The Massaohusetts courts will be called upon to enforce the judgment. Washougal Stan Drops Dead. WHITE 'SALMON. Wash.. May 27. (Special.) Donald McKlnnon dropped dead at the Zumawa boarding-bouse.
