Cannot Be PenaIized for Spo-
radio Default.
JUDGE CLABAUGH'S OPINION
0ffense Must Continue Whole Day to
Justify Fine.
WHAT CONGRESS INTENDED
Took Into Consideration in Drafting
Law, Court Holds, the Inconstant
Quality Of Illuminant.

The District Of Columbia cannot col
lect a penalty of 500 a day from the
gas companies unless it can be shown
that throughout an entire day of twenty
four hours the company defaulted in the
candlepower Of purity required by Con-
gress to be maintained in the gas fur
nished to Washington consumers, ac-
cording to the opinion Of Chief Justice
Clabaugh. rendered this afternoon.
A verdict in favor of the gas compa-
MES will be rendered Monday morning
by direction of the court. The District
will appeal to the District Court Of Ap-
peals.
Chief Justice Clabaugh, in constituting
the statute providing the penalty under
which the District authorities sought to
recover $500 from the gas company.
declared that the language of the enact
ment was susceptible of but one inter-
probation.
Congress intended. he said. to impose a
penalty on the gas companies only for
such violation as continued throughout a
day after they had been notified that a
test showed a default either in candle
power or purity.
The very object of the notification re-
quired by the act. the court said, was to
enable the companies TO correct such def-
ciencies were shown.
Whether or not the law Is reasonable,
the chief justice declared, was a matter
for Congress to determine and not for the
courts
The District authorities, the court sug-
gested. by their long silence-the act
having been passed in 1S14-had virtually
construed the law themselves to mean
that no penalty should be sued for by
reason of a sporadic default.
Intention of Congress.
The testimony of all the experts. the
court declared. made it plain that gas is
a most inconstant substance, and that
fluctuations in both quality and candle
power are inevitable From this, he held
it was evident that Congress did not in
tend TO require absolute uniformity at all
time, and that it was its intention 10 i'm
pose a penalty only upon a default con-
tinuing after notice.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ste
phens for the District contended that
Congress intended to punish any devia-
tion from the standard of candle power
or purity established whenever a test
taken between the hours of noon and
midnight showed such variance He
claimed that each such violation gave
the District the right to sue for the 500
per diem penalty prescribed in the
statute
Attorneys r. Ross Perry & Son, for the
gas companies. urged that the language
of the statute made ii plain that such
was not the intention of Congress. but
that in order to make the companies IL
able for the penalty the default in candle
power and purity must continue through
out an entire day of twenty-four hours.
