far-reaching step toward fulfilling
his declaration that he would clean

President Harding will not in

President would favor joint action
by department. heads to begin work
at a. m. instead of 9 o'clock. and
to stop at hour earlier in the after
noon. However. this will have tc
be done by the departments, as the

WILL ASK SUPREME.
COURT TO REOPEN
MORELANDcASE
D. C. Counsel Contends
Decision Weakens
Power of Courts.
LIMITS HARD LABOR
Ruling Requires Grand Jury
Action Before Imposing
Such Sentences.

Efforts to have a rehearing Of the
Moreland case before the pnited
States Supreme Court will be made
by officials of the District Corpora
tion Counsers office within the next
few days. This action comes on the
heels Of the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the case that no
person can be sentenced to hard
labor without first being Indicted
by the grand jury.
Omcials in the office of the Cor
poration counsel contend that the
ruling will greatly weaken the
power of the courts.
Frank A. Sebring. chief clerk Of
police courts, points out that police
judges do not sentence any person
to hard labor at the workhouse or
jail because this is beyond their
power.
Persons committed to Jail by the
police courts are eventually trans
ferred to the workhouse where they
are made to do hard labor. The Dis
trict Commissioner. acting under
authority from Congress. direct the
transportation of prisoners from the
jail to the workhouse, but the law
under which the Comm iss toner's act
Is distinct from that under which
police courts commit persons to the
Jail.
The Supreme Court ruling was to
the effect that the Juvenile Court
is without authority to sentence 4
man to hard labor at the work.
house. The Criminal Courts, how
ever, have that power. but must
FIRST have an Indictment
The decision in the Moreland case
will result in transferring the trial
of men charged with nonsupport
from the Juvenile Court to the
Criminal Courts.
Many attorneys argue that the
Moreland case affects applications
now rending in the District Su-
preme Court for writs OF prohibi.
tion to prevent the Police Courts
from trying liquor cases. but de-
spite this contention the United
States branch of the Police Court
went ahead yesterday and alleged
violators OF the prohibition laws
were arraigned as usual.
District Attorney Peyton Gordon
stated that the decision in the More
land case in no way affected the
jurisdiction of Police Courts In
liquor cases, because of the fac,
that these courts do not impose
sentences at hard labor.

Chas. Briar Farm Home South of
RprthO1d Burns

Plaza, Oct. 16.-The large farm
home owned by Charles Brian, at his
ranch between Berthold and Plaza,
was totally destroyed by fire.
Mrs. Briar had accompanied her
father to Iowa on visit and Mr..
Briar and the hired man were at
home. They had eaten supper and
were out in the barn milking Re-
turning in an hour, they found the
house in flames. 1t appears that the
fire started in the attic as the ceiling
fell to the main floor. Mr.. Briar OPP
cned the door and attempted to save
some Of the valued furniture, but was
too late. Among the losses was an
Elgin player piano. Mr.. Briar's resi-
dence was one of the largest and best
in that district and had been built
but few years ago. The house and
contents We're partially covered by in
surance.
Mr.. Briar thanks his neighbors and
other friends for the assistance rem
dcred following the fire.

Fanciful Figures

Some men are sort of reckless with
figures, especially Leaguers when it
comes to proving how rich the farm
ers are going to get from selling their
screenings. In the report Of the In
dustrial Commiss ion issued June I,
1921, at which time the Commission
was composed Of Leaguers, Senator
Ladd is quoted on page 46 as saying
that "100,000,000 bushels of wheat
would furnish an average of approx
mately 1,119,000 tons of screenings or
dockage." Now, that many tons of
dockage would make 37,3OO,O0O bu-
shells Of 60 pounds each. In other
words, considerably more than one
third Of every bushel Of wheat raised
would be dockage. This dockage he
estimates to be worth $4,000 per ton,
which is equal to S1.2O per. bushel.
Senator Ladd must have been reading
the Courier-News when his magma
tive fancy evolved these figures.
