FISCAL RELATIONS TOPIC
Three Commissioners. Maj. Pullman.
and Insurance Commissioner Nesbit
to Be at Conference.

For the first time since he entered
the White House. President Wilson to-
day will get a full report on District
affairs and problems from the men he
appointed to run the District. Mr.. Will
son will receive at the White House
Commissioners Newman. Brownlow.
and kutz. Insurance Commissioner
will be sworn in today as chief OF po-
lice.
Mr.. Wilson will give his visitors
about all the time they want to I'M
bosom themselves on District topics
and it is understood the Commissioners
Will give him complete history OF the
District government from the time
they told the helm and an outline Of
what they expect to do II he approves
their plans Heretofore the President
has been forced by press OF business to
limit his interviews with District
heads to thirty minutes.
One Of the subjects which probably
will be gone into in some detail will
be the pending Congressional investi-
cation of the fiscal relations between
the District and the United States gov
eminent. Each Commissioner has his
own views on this subject, 1t Is stated.
1t Is probable they will tell the Presi-
dent what led up to the investigation
and what the inquiry Is expected to
disclose.
The policies of the Public Utilities
Commission. in which the Commits
sioners believe they have followed the
lines laid down by Mr.. Wilson when he
was governor of New Jersey will be
explained to the President. The pres
ence of Mr.. Nesbit and Mr.. Pullman has
led to the belief that insurance and
police affairs in the District also will
come in for an airing.

CAUSE OF death
MUST Be Proved
State Forced to Show Bos-
wells Blow Killed Bailif
Hewitt. N
DOCTORS SAY IT DIDN'T
Rockville Official Was Up and Around
Several Days After Quarrel
and Before Death.

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald.
Rockville. Nd, March q. Upon
whether or not the prosecution succeeded
In proving the cause of death beyond a
reasonable doubt hangs the fate Of
Franklin G. Boswell for the murder Of
Aaron r. Hewitt, bailiff OF Rockville.
The hearing OF testimony was con-
cluded at O'Clock this afternoon. 1t is
thought the case will be submitted to
the jury not later than noon tomorrow.
Boswell is charged with having struck
Hewitt on the back of the head with q
quart bottle of whisky. The testimony
showed that the bailiff had just eau
toned Boswell. who was under the in
fiuence of liquor. to be more careful
about his language. and that as Hewitt
turned to leave Boswell is said to have
struck him. Hewitt was able to reach
his home, few hundred feet away. but
collapsed Immediately after. The fol-
lowing day, however, he was able to
be about. and continued to attend to his
duties as bailiff for three weeks. but his
condition finally became SO serious that
he was sent to a Washington hospital.
where he underwent an operation, his
death following nine days later.
Doctors Testify for Defense. W.
The defense did not deny that Bos-
we'll struck Hewitt with the bottle and
relied entirely upon the theory that the
blow was not the cause of death. DR..
George T. Vaughan. chief surgeon at
Georgetown University Hospital, who
performed the operation. testified that
the operation disclosed a perfectly nor
NAL brain and showed nothing to indi-
cate that the injury had caused death.
and DR.. Frederick n. Henderson, who
conducted the post norton examination.
and Drs. Larkin w. GIazebrooke. Otis
VI. Linthicum. and Claiborne II. Man
mar. who assisted him. agreed that the
autopsy also failed to disclose anything
that could attribute death to the blow
Hewitt received. DIR. Mannar thought
death might have resulted from shock.
but the other physicians thought the
time of his death too far removed from
the date the blow was administered for
shock to have been the cause, and swore
they were unable to tell what had
brought about his death.
Upon the conclusion of the testimony.
States Attorney Spates made a brief
argument. He was followed by Alex
ander Kilgour. for the defense. Tomor-
row morning Charles W. Prettyman and
Thomas Dawson will speak for the de-
Tense and the closing argument will be
made by the States attorney.
