SHOWS NEED OF CONTROL
OF SALE OF WEAPONS
Case in Police Court Cited by Judge
Mullowny as Reason for Pro-
posed Law.

Here is a clear illustration of why
we should have a law in the District
regulating the sale of firearms" said
Judge Alexander r. MulloMiny in the
Police Court today, when Hugh Sow
ers, whose home is near Bluemont, Va,
was charged with carrying a concealed
weapon.
Sewers pleaded guilty to the charge
of having a revolver in his pocket.
Policeman McDermott told the court he
found the revolver, which was loaded,
in the defendants pocket.
Sewers said he came to the city Sat
urday to purchase some clothing at a
second hand store and that while he
was in the place he saw revolver.
which the storekeeper said he would
sell for 81. He said the proprietor sold
it to him and gave him cartridges for
it. He told the court further he did
not intend to use it in the city, but
was going to take it home with him.
This case is like many others that
come here and there ought to be d law
which would regulate the sale of weap-
ons," said the court. This man appar-
entity was not carrying the revolver
with any unlawful intent. but I am
compelled to impose a fine on him. If
there was such law he would not have
had the opportunity to purchase the
revolver and walk out of the store with
it.
"I cont see why any one would have
any objection to such a law
A fine of 5000, or in default of the fine
IMPRISONMENT for six months was the
sentence imposed by the court Sewers
was also charged with intoxication or
the street, and on that charge the court
imposed a sentence of $40 fine or sixty
DAYS Imprisonment. Both sentences
were suspended and Sewers was PLACED
on probation for one year.

making special Investigation of the
controversy over the adoption of ma
chine guns for the army with special
reference to the veiled charge that
Brig. Gen. William Crozier, chief of
ordnance, and his official associates had
Disseminated against the Lewis ma
chine gun in favor of the type adopted.
The investigation was ordered by the
Secretary of War, at the request of

yoritism in the matter, and desired
that the matter be officially disposed
of.

MEMBERS OF BAR REPLY
TO DISBARMENT CHARGES
John II. Adriaans and I. @. q. Al
ward Answer Rules Issued Against
Them by Court.

John III. Adriaans and I. Q. II. Al
ward, members of the bar, today filed
answers to the charges of the griev
ance committee of the bar and to the
rules issued against them by the Dis
trict Supreme Court to show cause why
they should not be disbarred from prac-
tice. Trial on the charges is scheduled
for next Monday, before the court in
general term.
Mr.. Adriaans attacks the jurisdiction
of the court to try the charges, claim
ing that the code circumscribes the
power of the court to disbar attorneys
and fixes the only grounds as convic-
tion of an offense involving moral tur-
pitude and the failure to pay over
money collected for q client.
He asks for a dismissal of the
charges, pointing out that two of them
allege affenses involving moral turpi-
tude, for which he must first be con-
victed in a criminal court.
One of these charges, he asserts:
fails entirely under the jurisdiction of
the Municipal Court, and relates en-
tirely to his conduct before that
tribunal. The third charge. he says,
deals with a question of practice, on
which he was entitled to exercise his
interposition of a motion by opposing
counsel prevented him from asking
for q decree pro confeSSo.
Mr.. Award explains his conduct in
reference to the charge against him,
and admits il may have been "a de-
parture from the strict propriety of
professional action" He calls atten-
ton, however, that it is the first
charge made against him during a
professional career of seventeen years.
and suggests that the humiliation of
these disbarment proceedings has been
adequate punishment
Mr.. Award says he collected $50
on account for an Ohio attorney, and
held the money pending the ratification
of compromise. The compromise fell
through, and he has repaid the money.
he states. He admits that an earlier
settlement ought to have been made.
