today withdrew it's demurrer to the suit
filed against it January % last by the

poration brought by the District of CO.
lumbia.
According to Attorneys ]. J. Darlington
and Benjamin S. Minor. for the company,
the filing of the answer is for the pur-
pose Of securing consolidation of the
three equity suits now pending in the
court IN which are involved the question
Of the ownership of this stock. The
consolidated cases will be heard early in
the new year.

MRS. HENDERSON FIGHTS
CHANGE IN STREET NAME
Wants Title avenue Of the Presi-

to Senators.

Mrs. John b. Henderson wants the
name Avenue of the Presidents re-
tanned for what was formerly known
as 18th street, and. after the holidays,
will carry the fight into the Senate.
A provision was inserted in the Dis

Yesterday changing the name back 10

Senator Pomerene. Representative
Rartholdt and Postmaster General
Burleson asking them 10 use their In
fiuence TO have the name Avenue OF
the Presidents retained, and was as
sured. she says. that the name would
stay.
Mrs Henderson, firm in her belief
that the street will be one OF the most
beautiful in the world. says that steps
already have been taken to place
bronze busts of each President and
each Vice President on suitable granite
nedestals at intervals along the street
In view of the fact. according TO
Mrs Henderson, that 80 per cent OF
the residents of the thoroughfare pre-
name she thinks their wishes should
be recognized. The Sisson amendment
must be adopted by the Senate to be-
come a law. and Mrs. Henderson plans

ton.

DEFENDS HIS TITLE
Declares Action of President
and Senate PrecIudeS
Court Review.
INSISTS FRIZZELL HAS
NO INTEREST" IN OFFICE
Argues Court Should Have Con
Quoted an Inquiry Into the
Realtors Motives.

Oliver +. Newman, president of the
board of District Commissioners, flied
today I'm the District Court Of Appeals a
brief in support OF his eligibility to &C.
cupy the office and exercise the functions
OF civil Commissioner of the District OF
Columbia. The argument of his counsel
IN FAVOR of the ruling of Justice Ander-
son UNFOLDING the eligibility of Mr.. New
man fills forty-one printed pages.
The name of John W. Davis, solicitor
general of the United States, appears on
the brief as "of counsel" The attor-
neys for Mr. Newman are Jackson H.
Ralston. William L. Richardson and
George W. Holt
Seven reasons are assigned by counsel
why the quo warranto proceedings insu-
tuted by William ]. Frizzell, a taxpayer,
were properly dismissed by Justice An
derson The latter sustained both de-
murrer and a motion to quash the pro-
ceedlngs filed by counsel for Mr.. New
man.
Seven Reasons Urged.
The reasons given are: % The proper
foundation was not laid for the applica-
ton, the district attorney never having
refused to proceed. (2) The code gives
circumstances to use the name of the
United States in quo warranto against
public officer. CD The relator must be
an interested person." and under no
circumstances has a taxpayer merely
such an interest as to render him a prop
err person to bring quo warranto. a.
The President and Senate having acted
upon the question of the qualifications
of the appointee to the office of Com
missioner. no power of review of their
conclusion is vested in the courts. (5) The
appointment of the respondent Is for the
term OF three years, but during such
period OF three years he is subject to
removal by the President at any time
and a writ of quo warrantO will not lie
in any instance where the appointee is
at all times subject to removal by the
appointing power. 90 No inquiry was
made by the court as to the motives of
the relator, as should have been, to de-
termine whether the discretion of the
court should be exercised to permit the
ming OF the petition. Cd The trial justice
was entitled, notwithstanding order per-
uniting sui. to be filed. to review all legal
questions presented herein.
Justices Not in Conflict.
Justice Anderson did not ignore the
action of Justice Wright, it is claimed,
who had allowed the application for a
writ to be filed and had directed the writ
to issue. He did not reverse or modify
the decision Of Justice Wright, counsel
for Mr.. Newman contend.
True ii is" say the lawyers for the
Commissioner, that upon some propo-
sitions of law, the matter having been
given fuller consideration before Justice
Anderson, he has differed in opinion with
Justice Wright, but the action of the
justice first acting in the cause remains
unreversed and unaffected.
Still more, petitioners proposition is
unsound in that 1t is only when the
action of judge can be made the sub
