COURT DENIES MOTION
REFUSES TO QUASH PROCEED.
MGS IN PENDING CASE.
Violation Of the District Chicken
Regulation Alleged Against
Miss Pitchlynn.

The motion to quash the information
nled against Miss Sophia C. Pitchlynn
charged with violating the Districts
chicken regulation. approved in April last.
was overruled by Judge Pugh in the
Police Court today. In view OF the de-
cision Of today 1t is probable the case
will soon 90 to trial. the date to be de-
termined by the assistant corporation at
torney. Owing to the fact that the Pitch
lynn prosecution Is the first instituted
under the new regulation. which is even
more stringent In some OF its provisions
than those that have preceded it, the
outcome Of the motion to quash has been
awaited with interest.
Court States Reasons.
In giving his reasons for overruling the
motion Judge Pugh confined himself
solely to an analysis of the various laws
passed at different times by Congress con-
ferring the power upon the District Com
missioners OF formulating and enforcing
police regulations. He cited the COM
paratively recent Kean case, where this
right was dwelt upon at length by the
Court OF Appeals in rendering a decision
involving an attack on the powers Of the
Commissioners. This case. he said. was
similar In many respects to the one before
him.
Miss Pitchlynn, who Is a breeder OF
registered poultry for prize and stock pur-
poses, was charged June IL last with
maintaining fowls on her premises at
1lO4 9Th street northwest, within the fire
limits OF the District, and less than
twenty-five feet away from q building
used for human habitation or employ
ment.
Motion to Quash Filed.
The motion to quash followed several
weeks later through her attorneys, Pres
ton b. Ray and Z. Reeves Braddock, the
argument taking place before Judge
Pugh August last. At that time the
regulation was attacked, as were also
the powers of the Commissioners In en-
acting regulations that in themselves, 1t
was declared. worked a hardship and
an apparent injustice on different classes
of residents. The defense dwelt at some
length on the constitutionality OF the
regulation in question.
1t Is understood that In the opposition
to the prosecution of the charge filed
against her the defendant has the back
ing OF the local chicken fanciers' asso-
citation.

Washington. May 3.--A paper which
caused considerable discussion, was
read before the Sociological Section by
James Jenkins, Jr.. of Brooklyn. today
at the sixth annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis. Mr. Jen-
kins insisted that the chief function
of a local antl-tuberculosis association
was educational and not remedial.
The society must do its work by
means of exhibits. lectures, posters.
newspaper articles he said. and in
many other ways Another function
of the association must be that of
giving inspiration and suggestion to
others Mr. Jenkins contended that
the tuberculosis Committee in Brook
lyn. of which he Is the secretary, had
done IFS best work when It secured
the assistance Of the city. private hos
pitfalls and others in doing work which
the committee Itself could never un-
dertake
He recommended in raising funds 10
secure a large number Of small dona-
tions rather than few large ones,
and advised special collections in
churches and Sunday schools for spe.
cial kinds Of work. In conclusion he
said
In some localities the situation is
such that a tuberculosis committee is
really forced 10 do a certain amount Of
relief work, but the responsibility for
this relief even II initiated by the
committee. should be placed as soon
as possible GA the shoulders Of some
regular relief organization. which per
haps is not fulfilling its entire duty to

Insurance Against tuberculosis" He
pointed out that Il Is feasible to in

method by which every worklngman
would be Obliged to insure we're devils
ed, the very classes among whom tu-
berculosis Is most prevalent would not
be reached by this insurance because
rates would be too high. He advocat-
ed the formation OF local municipal or

employers of labor and who should use
this fund for the care Of tuberculosis
workingmen.
Instead of compelling the payment
OF premiums on the part Of employees"
said DR. Frankel, "it might be perfect
ly feasible and constitutional TO have
a special tax based on the payrolls Of
employers of labor, this tax to be fixed
and graded according 10 the amount
of the pay roll and probably also ao-
