COMMISSIONERS REFUSE
TO MAKE SUNDAY RULES
District Heads Uncertain Just What
Their Powers Are to Promulgate
Regulations for Sabbath.

Until their power to make Sunday regr-
lations has been fully determined. the
District Commissioners will not consider
the PRONUNCIATION of any new rules de-
signed to restrict business activities in the
District of Columbia on the Sabbath.
This decision was communicated by the
Commissioners today to Rev. G. G. john
son. pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church,
who recently suggested to the District
heads that regulations preventing the
hawking Of papers and conducting of
movie" theaters Sunday should be enact
ed.
The suggestion was referred to CORPORA
ton Counsel Conrad H. Syme, who ad-
yised the Commissioners that he under
stood the decision of the District Court
of Appeals sustaining the power of the
Commissioners to make Sunday regula-
tions was to be carried to the United
States Supreme Court for review. Mr.
Syme counseled against the pronunciation
of any new regulations until the Com
rnssioners knew beyond all question what
their rights in the matter are.
Adverse action has been taken by
the Commissioners on the petition of
the board of trustees of Asbury M f..
Church to have 18th street between K
street and New York avenue northwest
designated a business street. The
church intends to erect building and
desires to cover as great an area as
possible under the District building
regulations The Commissioners found
that a majority of the frontage on 11th
street between X street and New York
avenue is not used for business, and
that the street therefore cannot be
designated q business thoroughfare.
ON recommendation of Building In
spector Morris Hacker, the Commits
sioners have denominated G street
north between 1st street east and I'd
street west a business street.

ONLY ONE QUERY HEARD
IN THE HUTCH|NS CASE

A single hypothetical question. which.
between the opening word and the
closing in Interrogation point, required
space of practically three hours for ex-
preston, occupied this mornings ses-
sion in Criminal Division 2 of the Su-
preme Court of the District of Column
bia. This lonely yet massive Ques-
ito nwas asked by Frank ]. Hogan Of
counsel for the caveators in the suit
brought to contest the last will of the
late Stilson Hutchins. The reply
which will occupy. according to pres
ent estimates, about twenty seconds of
the courts time-is to be made by DR..
Smith Ely Jelliffe, the witness to whom
the question is addressed.
DR. JeIliffe Is a New York expert on
mental questions. His opinions as to
the sanity of Harry Thaw. which were
required as evidence in the trial fol-
lowing the murder of Stanford White,
were given great publicity.
Recital of Personal History.
The question referred to above took
the form of recital of the history of
Stilsoh Hutchins and his family as dis
closed in the trial affecting his will,
and concludes with words to this
effect: Does DR.. Jelliffe believe Stilson
Hutchins to have been mentally COM
petent to construct valid will?
The answer required will be consider
ably delayed, for r. Ross Perry of
counsel for the caveatees has informed
the court that when Mr.. Hogan arrives
at the final interrogatory punctuation
mark and takes his seat, he tMr. Per-
ry) will rise to object to the question,
and that he will then make an argu-
ment intended to prove that it-the
three hour question = was improper
and should be stricken from the rec
ords unless corrected.
The history of the domestic relations
of Mr.. Hutchins, as related by MIR. Ho-
gan recalled all of the testimony which
has been presented the jury OF twelve
men, who are to decide whether Lee
Hutchins is justified in his assertion OF
the belief that the 1910 will of the dead
financier was procured by undue in
huence on the part of his brother Wal
ter. 1t was announced by counsel Tor
the caveators to contain no statement
of opinion, but to be confined merely to
the facts hitherto presented to the jury
by the testimony of the many witnesses
who have been called to date.
Counsel Will Cross-Examine.
Provided DR.. Jellifre answers that
Stilson Hutchins' last will was. in his
opinion. signed by one incompetent to
draw up such a document, Mr.. Perry
his intention of attempting,
by cross-examination, to break down
the weight of DR.. Jelliffe's expert testi-
mony.
The court recessed at 12:f5 O'Clock
after Mr.. Hogan's statement that he
had nearly concluded his question. Mr..
Perry states that he Is probably going
to ask to have the question reread TO
him from the court records.
