Manuel, was today elected President of the republic by the National Assembly to succeed Manuel de Arrlajja, who resigned. Henor Brasra was elected by a, vote of !8 to 1.

Issue Declared Politienl Rather Than .ckI, and Allegations Held In capable of Proof. MILWAUKEE. May 29. Circuit Judge Turner today dismissed the action' of General Samuel Pearson, who sought to restrain the" Allis-Chalmers Com pany, Otto II. Falk and others from manufacturing shrapnel shells which it was alleged, were being supplied to the allies. The court concludes that, in view of the well-settled principles of interna tional law, it must be apparent that the relief sought by the plaintiff is political rather than legal, and that to grant such relief would be for the court to entertain jurisdiction on u matter exclusively within the political and executive branch of the Federal Government. The allegation that the war would cease, if the shipment of shrapnel shell is stopped is only an expression of opinion, not susceptible of proof, and cannot be made the basis of Judicial action, according to the court. The allegations of this affidavit fall far. short of showing such casual con nection between the injury complained of and the damages apprehended by the plaintiff, says Judge Turner.

A foster-mother has better risht to claim the custody of a child than the natural mother who gave away the infant after bicU, even before there have been lega' adoption proceedings, the Supreme Court decided today, ordering that Miss Nellie Myers, of Okanogan County, be allowed to adopt five-year-old Nora Mary Potter, over the objections of th. child's motner. "Mother love does not depend upon the pairs and perils of childbirth." the opinion written by Judge Chad wick declaces. "It is not every child that is welcome. On the other hand there is an affection that grows from care and association and the tender ministrations which are prompted by a heartfelt sympathy for the weak and helpless. These bes;et a love as real as the love of a mother and more, for the one who voluntarily assumes such a privilege must have far deeper ma ternal instincts than one who is an unwilling mother."
