COMMISSIONERS NAME
BOARD OF ACCOUNTANCY
William Clabaugh, r. G.. Rankin
and John J. Miller Com.
pose New Body.

The Commissioners today appointed
the board of accountancy, created by
q recent act of Congress to regulate
that profession in Washington.
The men selected are: William Cla-
baugh, active member of the Board of
Trade, for a three-year term; r. G.
Rankin, two-year term, and John j.
Miller, one-year term.
The purpose of the law is to pro-
vide for the examination of all ac-
countants and the issuance to them of
certificates showing that they are
certified public accountants.
1t is understood that the Commission
ers had before them eleven candidates
for the board, and it was stated at the
District building today that all of these
men were of such a high type that the
city heads found difficulty IN selecting
the three appointees.
The law does not fix a definite salary
for the members of the board, but pro-
vides that the Commissioners may fix a
reasonable salary. This pay is to be
taken from any surplus which may exist
at the end of the fiscal year of fees
collected by the board during the year
The law requires that every applicant
for examination shall deposit a fee of
$25 to cover the expenses of the board
This new agency probably will have
offices in the District building.

Supreme Court
'NowSitting'Old
Cry Is Resumed

At the risk of finding itself
technically in the anomalous at
tftude of sitting standing" the
Supreme Court has decided after
q three-day experiment not to re-
wise the docorous monologue by
which its crier announces the con-
vening Of its sessions.
Since the foundation Of the court,
the criers "Oyez." pronounced in
solemn tones as the justices take
their places on the bench, has been
coupled with a warning to all
those having business before the
august tribunal to draw near and
give their attention. for the court
''is now sitting" Recently it was
decided that the court should re-
main standing while the crier
made his announcement and he
accordingly was directed to change
his formula and announce that the
court "is now in session"
But the new wording resulted in
objection by the older justices, and
the crier returned to the original
declaration that the court was
Sitting"

SHIP BILL DOOMED,
IS SENATE BELIEF;
END OF FIGHT NEAR
Agreement for ArmiStice in
FiIibuster Indicates Early
Death of Measure.
PLAN RECOMMITTAL VOTE
BEFORE TOMORROW NIGHT
Foes of Legislation Are Prepared
to Resume Fight if
Necessary.

An end of the Senate shipping bill
fight appeared near today through 81
agreement made behind closed doors for
a temporary armistice in the filibuster
which has blocked all business since
Monday.
In executive session the Senate agreed
TO adjourn tonight at o'clock, take up
minor bills for two hours tomorrow. and
then proceed with the shipping bill, but
with the possibility of a vote in the
meantime on a motion for recommittal.
See Death Of Bill.
After the agreement administration
leaders conceded that the ship bill was
''as good as dead" Not later than to-
morrow night, ii was said, the vote on
recommital would come, and the bill
would be inferred with proper obse-
quies."
The plans for a break in the fill
buster and abandonment of a night
session tonight were made after
conference at the White House be-
tween President Harding and Senator
Curtis of Kansas, assistant republi-
can leader. The Senate. under its
agreement last night. went into eX-
ecutive session to consider conf1rma-
tiOu Ol oll IcNohN
at II o'clock, and an understanding
for the breakup of the filibuster. at
least until late tomorrow, was quick
ly reached.
Willingness of administration lead
ers to call off night session tonight
and spend two hours tomorrow on
minor bills was regarded by ship bill
opponents as a sign of dissolution.
Leaders of all factions on the re-
publican side agreed with this view.
to discontinue night sessions was
reached, they said, to avoid further
hardships in behalf of hopeless
cause.
Democrats Well Organized.
Democratic leaders accepted the re-
publican proposal, they stated, and
agreed to allow minor bills to come
up only with the understanding that
the fight for the shipping bill was
virtually over. The democrats had
been prepared to continue the fill
buster even more vigorously, until
the arrangement behind closed doors
was reached.
Debate today was opened by Sen
ator Frelinghuysen, republican, New
Jersey, with a speech in favor of the
bill. His appearance in the debate
was regarded as another sign of the
breakup of the long fight since the
republicans had agreed, with the
opening of the filibuster, to let the
bills opponents do all of the talking

LAUREL. Md, February a3.-An un-
identified woman was killed and Ben
jamin e. Morris, giving his address as
Clarendon, Va, sustained slight in
juries early today when his automo-
bile crashed into one end OF the bridge
over the Patuxent river near here and
the woman was hurled through the
windshield and over the bridge railing
to the river twenty feet below.
The woman, APPARENTLY about twenty
four years of age, remains unidentified,
because Morris refuses to give any in
formation to the state constabularly
regarding her. He maintained silence
when asked about the identity Of his
companion. and efforts of the state po-
lice to establish her identity thus far
have been fruitless.

The accident was reported to the
state police substation at Laurel by
a man giving his name as Raymond
Johnston. In the wrecked automobile
on the bridge was found a partially
filled bottle of corn whisky and a
quantity of the best rye whisky.
A physician was summoned by the
state police at the outset of their
Investigation and the woman was pro-
nounced dead. Morris, however, suf-
fered only for short time from the
shock and his injuries amounted only
to cuts and bruises. He was thrown
in front of the car and landed on the
bridge.
The accident occurred on the
Howard county edge Of the bridge,
which Is the dividing line for Prince

Description Of Woman.
The woman, according to officials of
the state constabulary. appeared to
be about twenty-four years old, and
had dark hair and brown eyes. She
was Of medium build. She was at
tired in a well-worn fur coat, black
silk dress, black silk stockings and
satin slippers. 1t Is believed that her
death was almost instantaneous.
Because of the rather abrupt disap-
pearance Of Johnston and the re-
fusal of Morris to divulge the name
Of his companion, Maryland state po-
lice are making q thorough investi-
cation of the case. 1t was stated that
they could not understand these ac-
tions unless there was something to
be concealed.
Morris was wearing an emblem OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive EnRi-

of the accident, and on his person
was found another registration card

New Railroad Man.
The decision of Premiers Poincare
and Theunis to operate the railroads
through an allied civil administration
is seen here as move to Improve
transportation conditions. although
Cen Payot asserts that the railroads
already operating under French and
Belgian supervision are doing their
work.
Details of the new plan will be
worked out at conferences among
Gen. De Goutte, Gen. Payot, officials
of the French ministry of public
works, repreSe natives of the rail-
roads and Paul Tirard. president of
the international Rhineland commits
sion
The functioning of the allied Gus
toms ring is threatened with e1iffic ul-
ties in consequence of Berlin's order
that no taxes be paid to the oc-
cupiers. Such payments. the federal
minister of finance has decreed, will
not be recognized by the government.
Hold Barrier Is Secure.
German customs officials have been
reminded of their responsibility to
the Reich and the governments con-
fdence that they will resist seizure
of their Offices with as much firm
ness as has been shown by Industrial
workers.
Meanwhile, the French maintain
that their customs barrier is secure
and that the course of Germany's s
economic Iifeblood has been diverted.
The Germans, on their part, declare
through the press that they are ada
mant in their determination not to
yield and point out that such penal
ties as the expulsion of German func-
tionaries only strengthen the German
position. Expulsions of Ruhr and
Rhineland officials already total 467,
