POLICE COURT vAGRANcY
CONVICTIONS REVERSED
Woman Wrongfully Held When
She Had 81 900 in Bank, Ap-
pelate Body Holds.

Two decisions Of the Police Court un-
der the "vagrancy" law were reversed
today by the District Court of Appeals
in opinions by Chief Justice Smyth and
Justice Robb.
The chief justice held that Hilda Rose
was wrongfully convicted when the tes-
timony showed that she had $1,000 to
her credit in bank. 1t was the duty
of the prosecution to show that the
amount was not sufficient for her sup
port and not merely to question the
method by which the money was ac-
cumulated. the court held: That the
woman might have been charged with
some other crime does not make her .
vagrant. The costs Of the appeal were
assessed against the District.
In the other case, in which Justice
Robb read the courts opinion. the con-
viction of Lucretia Lewis was set aside.
The testimony here showed that the
woman was regularly employed as
housekeeper at weekly stipend Of $40.
board and lodging. The fact that her
employers house had been suspected
by the police does not make her amen
able to the vagrancy act, the court
stated.

WRIT OF PROHIBITION
GRANTED IN RENT CASE
Municipal Court Undertook Juris-
diction While Appeal Was Pend
ing in Another Court.

The District Court of Appeals in
an opinion by Justice Robh today
granted "A writ of prohibition against
the Municipal Court. which had under
taken jurisdiction of a landlord and
tenant proceeding while there WAS
pending an appeal by the tenant to
the Court of Appeals from decision
of the rent commission. To allow
the court to proceed with the hearing
would amount to depriving the Ap-
pellate Court of its jurisdiction un-
der the appeal from the rent com
mission, Justice Robb declares.
Annie Gardner, owner of premises
614 r street northwest. served notice
on her tenant, Chester \. Porter. that
she required the property for her
own use. The tenant challenged her
right to possession and she invoked
the jurisdiction of the rent commits
sion and received finding in her
favor The tenant noted an appeal
to the Court of Appeals and gave n
supersedeas bond. Later the owner
began possessory proceedings before
the Municipal Court. of which that
court took jurisdiction. and the ten
ant then sought writ of prohibition.

Reasf.' Statement.
Mr.. Rearis' statement was as fol-
lows:
The United States feels very great
| sympathy for the distress of Europe
aside from any selfish interest we
may have in the matter. I do not
doubt that Congress will be willing
to fund the. European debt as sug-
gested by the administration If the
necessity for it is made apparent.
But with France standing unmoved
before the prayers and pleading of
mankind for a tranquil world. and
asserting the intention of vastly in
creasing the, most barbarous and in
human implement o. war. viz. the
submarine think it is time to wipe
the tears or sympathy from our eyes
and try to see with clearer vision
what the present situation portends.
French Armament Program.
France has today an army larger
than had Germany at any time before
the war. She not only declines to re-
duce it. but insists upon perfect free
dom of action to increase 1t. Her po-
sition with reference to naval in
, creases comprehends the expenditure
! of hundreds of millions of dollars
Surely no nation in the financial dis
tress in which France is alleged to be
| would be contemplating such an ar
| mament program.
France is a sovereign nation, and
as such is free to follow her own in
ciination. But the people of the United
States. believing that huge armaments
| are as provocative of war today as
| they were in 1914. can with justice
insist that the program which France
4 has mapped out, shall be paid for with
her money and not with ours"

RIVALS WIDE APART.

LONDON, January 3.-Rival groups
In the dali eireann, which met today
to take final action on the treaty OF
peace between Ireland and Great Brit
ain, we're seemingly as wide apart this
morning as they were when the dali
adjourned for the Christmas holiday.
Advices from Dublin were discourag-
ing. and it was declared the situation
there was dominated by partisan
spirit.
Some observers asserted there was
little prospect of the opposing Sec
tions settling their differences. The
extremists were said to be determined
in their efforts to persuade the Irish
people that acceptance of the treaty
involved abandonment Of the claim
for the establishment OF q republic.
Their work, however, was said to be
futile, and there were general pre-
dictions that the dali eireann would
pass favorably upon the convention.
Some correspondents asserted that
the acceptance OF the treaty>would be
due to abstentions from voting rather
than the strength of those supporting
its ratification. In any event final de-
cision was not expected before Thurs
day.
