Rail Business Associations Make
Appeal to President,

President Harding was appealed to
today by committee representing
the Railway Business Associations to
make possible freedom Of judgment
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the matter of rate adjustments
Any breaking down Of the commits
sion's function as a quasi judicial ad-
ministrative tribunal, the committee
told the President, would be harmful
to the restoring of the country to
normal business conditions.
Industrial unemployment now exist
ing was described by the committee in
memorandum left with the Presi-
dent. 1t stated that unemployment is
aggravated by the inability of the
railroads to pay the bills Of railway
supply manufacturers. Railway orders
are being held to a minimum, and
many plants are operating on part
time or have closed down, the report
says.

Law for District.

Law for District.
Creation Of a board of accountancy
in the District Of Columbia, similar
to those existing in the various
states whereby citizens of the Dis
trict may, upon suitable examination.
be certified as public accountants. is
provided for in draft of bill which
several hundred aspiyants to the pro-
fession will seek to have introduced
in the House and Senate to-day.
Until today the state of North
Carolina had extended to them the
opportunity Of taking examination
for certified public accountant under
the state law. This morning more
than 250 citizens of the District and
about seventy-f1ve from. New York
state, preparing to take advantage of
the offer. were notified that the state
no longer could extend this service.
The New York group wished to
evade what they considered an un-
satisfactory accountancy law in their
state. =.
Discouraged, but determined not to
allow their training in school to be
thus made useless, the students COL
laborated in drawing up the proposed
bill. which they hope to have passed
without delay.

NEED MORE JURORS
FOR HOMICIDE CASE
Court Orders U. S. Marshal
to Summon rs TaIesmen to
Appear Tomorrow.

For the Rrst time since the new jury
commission law went into effect, a
jury was not completed today in a
homicide case from among the Jurors
in attendance on the other branches
Of the court.
Justice Bailey. presiding in Criminal
Division 2 at the trial Of John w.
"racks and Henry A. Payne, both
colored, indicted on a charge of
murder in the first degree in connec-
ton with the killing of Max Lieber-
man in Southwest Washington March
last. directed United States Marshal
Plain to summon seventy-five tales
men to appear in court tomorrow
morning.
Has No Access to Jury Box.
Marshal Splain cannot have access
to the jury box. which is under seal
and may be opened only by a majority
Of the jury commission, SO he will have
to take the names of seventy-five per-
sons out Of the directory or from
among his acquaintances and sum-
mon them to complete the panel to
try this particular case. This con-
dition has never before arisen. it is
stated, in a homicide case in Washing
ton.
Under the old law the marshal
might summon byStanderS to COM
plete panels in all cases. excepting
capital ones. but when the law was
changed the exception was omitted
and it provides that when the panels
of available jurors in other branches
of the court are exhausted the court
shall direct the marshal to summon
as many talesmen as may be neces-
sary.
Practice In Former Days.
In former days when the regular
panel of the Criminal Court in which
murder case was being tried had
been exhausted the court would di-
rect the clerk to draw a sufficient
number Of talesmen, and If the jury
was not then completed to draw an
other batch until the jury was satis-
factory. The regular jury box was
then available for such drawings, but
under the new law. it is pointed out.
the duties Of the jury commission are
circumscrb bed.
