BARRIERS PASS Up
MASSAGE LICENSE
Fear Not Recent Decision of
Judge Pugh.

Washington BARRIERS are not worrying
about the decision of Judge James l..
PUsh, of the District branch Of the
Criminal Court, to the effect that all
places where massage IS employed must
take out license at a cost of SIS. or be
subject to a fine of from so to 500.
The fact that BARRIERS give wtat they
call facial massage was thought to
bring them within the scope of the deci-
sion, but the question has not yet been
definitely raised.
Is a facial massage a massage? T.
A. Leckert. president Of Local No. 80. of
the BARRIERS Union, said last night he
was a graduate maSseur and worked for
many doctors. When the license was
imposed he sought legal advice, and was
told he would not have to pay the fee as
long as he did not open an establish
ment and seek customers
As to the manipulation of the face, he
said il was not a technical massage at
all. and he could prove it, He said il
was not of medical value, and was not
administered to accomplish any perma-
nent result, which is the object Of genu-
inc massage.

BAST0N ASKS NEW TRIAL.
Convicted wife-sIayer Claims Court
Ignored Certain Prayers.


Charles G. Baston, the former police
man who killed his wife October l last
and was convicted of second degree mur-
der, yesterday asked the court to grant
him a new trial.
The ground for the motion was based
on the refusal Of Justice Wright TO ad-
NIT at the trial evidence tending to prove
that Mrs. Baston had made threats
against her husbands life, and had as
saulted him several weeks previous TO
the homicide.
The court stated that it declined TO
accept the proffered testimony because
of the fact that an accidental shooting
was claimed and that evidence relating
to the seIf-defense theory was not ger
name. 1t was also argued that the
court refused certain prayers offered by
the, defense, and that the verdict was
contrary 10th to the law and evidence
