Justice Van orsdeIl Of the Court
of Appeals handed down this deci-
sion yesterday in affirming a decree
Of the District Supreme Court
denying a writ Of mandamus 10
William F. Arrant against Franklin
X. Lane Secretary OF the Interior.
Arrant, who had been connected
with the Office OF the superinten-
dent Of Crater Lake National Park.
contended that he had been removed
from Office in violation Of the civil
service regulations and sought by
petition for a writ-Sf mandamus
TO compel Secretary Lane to re-
instate him.
The District Supreme Court re-
fused the petition. Hence the ap-

Arrant was asked to resign in
June, 1918. He refused and was re-
moved by Secretary Lane.

D. c. COMMISSIONERS
LOSE Court DECISION
Judicial Opinion Denies Them Power
to Collect Inspection Fees.

For the second time this term
the Court Of Appeals has curtailed
the power of the District Commits
sioners.
They cannot. the court ruled, COL
lect a fee for the inspection of
elevators and fire escapes in hotels,
theaters or public or private build
ings.
They may however. supervise,
regulate and control these things
wherein the public health and safe
ty is concerned. Unless empowered
by an act Of Congress the Commits
sioners are powerless to charge a
fee as heretofore, for the inspec-
tion of elevators and fire escapes.
This decision came about as the
result of an appeal to the Court
of Appeals by the willard Hotel
Company to affirm a decision OF the
District Supreme Court that the
hotel company need not be liable
for refusing TO pay a fee of SIS for
the inspection of its elevators.
In the latter part OF November.
1917, the Court OF Appeals rendered
an opinion denying the right Of the
District Commissioners TO revoke the
permit Of the Chevy Chase Sanitarium
after il had been issued. The court
also held in this case that only an
act Of Congress could revoke such
a permit or a similar permit. as such
permits were actual property.
These two opinions take from the
Commissioners an authority hereto

This Is Great Sport
If You Don't Happen
To Be on the Bottom

Did you ever hear of coasting sand
wich fashion?
No. Well, here's your chance.
Three small boys on Connecticut
avenue had one sled between them
yesterday afternoon. And they all
wanted to coast all the time. They
didn't argue about it or anything.
They simply piled on the sled, one
over the other like a human sand
wich and went down the hill flying.
And they took turns as to who was
going to be on top. When they had
climbed to the top of the hill, the for
tunate one would say, Now I'm 60
ing to squash you fellers this time. "
And they would be off.
The procedure didn't look very safe.
But the special providence which looks
over small boys was on the job. And
nothing happened. Except that hor-
ribly wealthy little boy who was out
for an afternoon walk with his nurse
looked at them with great envy.
