The legal right Of the Board Of
Education to control organizations
within the public schools was up
held again today in a decision made
by Robert l.. Williams, assistant

mitted to school authorities by

boards recent decree that parents
Of school children must sign cards

long to organizations disapproved
by the board from participation in
school activities other than scholas-
tic work.

affirms this opinion.
However, public school children

ACTIONS ON
REFUNDS
PUSHED
600 Cases Are Pending In
voIving Rebate on Exc
cessive Profits.

Washington tenants whose land
lords exacted excessive rents from
them when the existence of the
District Rent Commission was in
jeopardy viii have their innings
this fall and winter when the
commission splits a $150,000
melon between them and the
United States Government.
$4,000 Is Recovered.
This fact came to light today
when it was learned that Mrs.
Grace Hays Riley, assistant attor-
ney to the Commission. employed
20 press all refund of excessive rent
cases. already has disposed of cases
Involving $4,000. bringing $4,000
back to local house and apartment
tenants.
Until Mrs. Riley became asso-
c1ated with the Commission a few
weeks ago all of these important
refund cases, which mean so much
20 many Washington families, have
laid dormant. but are now being
TO twenty a week.
The rent act provides that those
landlords. who collected rent in ex-
cess OF that decreed by the Rent Cora
mission, shall not only refund the
excessive portion Of the rent TO the
tenant, but shall be penalized by be-
ing compelled to pay a similar sum
into the United States Treasury and
also $50 attorney fee.
Some Compromises Made.
Anxious to dispose of the cases
and get back money to Washington
tenants as fast as possible, the Rent
Commission has adopted a policy of
compromising some of the penalty
money in cases where the landlords
collected excessive rents between the
time the lower courts declared the
rent act unconstitutional and the
higher courts reversed this decision.
The point is made, however, that
no compromise is ever made in the
amount OF excessive rent which is
due to the tenant.
900 Cases Pending.
Investigation shows that more
than 500 refund cases are involved
In amounts ranging from as low
as SIG UP to nearly 81 900. Many
Of the amounts are between SIS and
$50.
Those landlords who insisted in
ignoring the decisions of the Rent
Commission, even after the Ball
rent act had been declared consti-
tutional, are not being dealt
lenient1y with by the commission.
and the full penalty is being ex.
acted in these cases.
Credit is given Chairman Whaley,
OF the Rent Commission, for speed
ing up the refund cases.

Norfolk More Arrests !.
Are Expected.

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 9.-More
arrests are expected to be made,
before the manner in which Harry
6. Williams, son of n. G. Williams,
owner of, the York Hotel of New
York, was killed is explained.
Because of the nature of evidence
at an INQUEST Saturday, Coroner r..
Lloyd Williams decided to go more
deeply into the case, and contin.
ued the hearing until tomorrow.
Mrs. Williams is to be called the
second tune TO tes.lfy
Mrs. Williams, Percy Page and
Harry Williams were in a drink
ing party, the night Williams was
killed. Policeman w. G. Spencer
says he overheard telephone con-
yersation between Williams and. his
wife, In which the life of the WON.
an was threatened. Mrs. Williams
denied that this conversation ever
took place.
William Cooper, who lives oppo.
site the Williams palatial home in
Spotswood avenue, said about mid
night he witnessed fight in front
of the Williams house. He saw
several parties attacking an .'ob-
jeet," and he heard some one say,
Kill him. He said he saw the
object fall on the sidewalk, and it
was later taken into the Williams
home.
8 A. r. Lambert, q chauffeur, is
accused Of causing the death of
Williams. He is alleged to have
pushed Williams off the running
board of an automobile, causing
him to- fall and fracture his skull.
Percy Page was first accused OF
killing Williams. When arrested
Page had a black eye and his right
hand was broken. He said he had
a fight with Williams in, Mrs. Will
liams' presence. Mrs. Williams tes-
titled that when she last saw Page
on the night of the killing he had
no injuries. Page spent the night
in the Williams home. He said ne
was asleep when Mrs. Williams
came to his room and told him
there was something wrong with
Harry. He says he found him on
the front porch and carried him
INTO the house.
Mrs. Williams had previously said
she was awakened by heavy breath
ing and found her husband uncon-
scious on the floor or their living
room. The police said Mrs. Viii
liams could not give coherent ac-
count of what happened in. her
home.
