NEW TRIAL ORDERED
FOR REALTORS SUIT

Judge Barber of the United States
Court of Customs Appeals today
handed down an opinion of the Dis
trict Court of Appeals reversing the
Judgment Of the Municipal Court,
which had directed a verdict in favor
Of an owner who had been sued by a
realty broker for commission on a
sale which he declined to confirm.
Eugeneo Fugassi placed a property
In the hands of Arthur Tsangares, d
broker, TO sell for $4,000 and the
broker obtained a client. Some dis
pute arose over the terms of the sale
contract and the broker alleged the
owner gave him the whole day of
July "a, 1922, to get the new contract
signed and q deposit posted.
The broker asserted he secured both
contract and deposit about o'clock
in the afternoon, but when he pre-
sented it to Fugassi the latter de-
clared he was too late, as he had sold
il for a higher price. Tsangares then
sued for his commission, but the Mu-
nicipal Court held against him. The
appellate tribunal reverseS this judg-
ment and orders new trial.

NEW SEAPLANE SUCCEEDS
PM, Built for Scouting Purposes,
to Supplant F-5-L Type.

A marked advancement in the de-
sign and construction of scout sea-
planes has been taken by the Navy
with the successful testing during
recent feet maneuvers of the boat
seaplane PM. The ship was design
ed by naval aeronautiol enGin at
the naval aircraft factory, Philadel-
phia-
Officials at the bureau Of aero
nautics here anticipate that this new
type of aircraft will completely sup
plant the F-5-L old reliable of the
Navy which now is engaged in patrol
ling the coast lanes and other duties.
The PM, like the F-5L, has two
motors and a hull, but it is said of
the former that it "can fly rings
around the F-5. It's speed with
motors open is about 100 miles per
hour and its cruising speed is more
than fifteen miles per hour faster
than the F-5. Its thick wings also
give it a greater lifting power. The
motors in the new plane are twelve
cylinder Wright T-3s. which can de-
velop more than 1000 horsepower.
Naval experts now are working, to
produce a metaI-hull type PM which
is expected to be even more rugged
for operation with the fleet at sea.

RENT BILL EXPECTED
IN HOUSE MONDAY

The Iampert bill to continue the
life of the District Rent Commission
for two years probably will be called
up for consideration in the House
next Monday.
There is at present a tug of war to
see whether the rent bill or the Zihl-
man bill for extension of 14th street
through the Walter Reed Hospital
grounds will be given first consider
alton House leaders are in favor of
giving first consideration to the 14th
street extension measure, because it
Is non controversial measure and
IS unanimously supported by the Dis
trlct officials. the War Department
and all parties interested.
Representative Iampert, however.
IS anxious to get the earliest poss-
bic consideration of the rent measure,
because the Rent Commission is due
TO expire automatically May %.
If the Rent Commission bill comes
up ahead of the 14th street measure
or other District bills it probably will
block all District legislation for sew
cral weeks, because four or five mem
bers of the House District committee
have signified their intention Of Wig
nrously opposing this measure.
Representative Lampert said today
that he believes the Senate survey
has helped materially, and will make
early passage of the rent bill assured

Wanted TO Avoid Scandal.
He went to Attorney General Daugh-
srty, the senator continued when he
heard that Mr.. Todd, Mr.. Daugherty's
former law partner, had been retained
hy the Miller brothers. He urged that
Peck be retained to prosecute these
cases, and this was done. His chief
interest, the senator said, was to
avoid any scandal"
Mr.. Harreld said he was surprised"
to hear that pleas of guilty had been
accepted in these cases by direction OF
the Department OF Justice. Later:
when he heard that no civil suits had
been filed to recover the lands in
volved, he reported that fact to the
Indian bureau.
Friends of the Miller brothers had
asked him to 'intercede" In their be-
half in Washington. Senator Harreld
said. but added that he did not care
10 ''go into that" unless the commit
tee desired to press it.
Attorney General Daugherty had
very readily" assented to his sug-
gestion that the pending change in
the United States attorneys office
in Oklahoma should be deferred so
that Peck should handle the Miller
cases. Senator Harreld said Mr..
Daugherty did not know at that time
that Todd had been retained by the
Millers.
Senator Harreld explained that he
thought there was seed for scandal
in the fact that Todd was to defend
George l.. Miller and his associates.
Praises Peck's Record.
To Mr.. Daugherty's credit, he saw
the point Immediately" Senator Har-
reid said, explaining how it had been
arranged that Peck, the district at
torney in western Oklahoma under
the democratic administration, should
continue as prosecutor. The senator
declared he regarded Peck as "a
clean, fine prosecutor"
When no civil recovery suits re-
suited, the senator continued. the
Indian office sent a man down to in
vestigate. He scored George L. Miller
for his public statements.
Il am afraid he's one of that kind or
people who believe that wrongdoing Is
all right if they aren't caught in it" he
commented. Its a funny thing for a
fellow to plead guilty to crime and
then talk about plot against him."

Booth followed Senator Harreld, and
also was questioned in regard to the
Oklahoma Irdian land cases. He identi-
fled letters from the Interior Department
transmitting the Miller cases to the De-
parment of Justice. They were dated in
April, 1920.
Senator Wheeler said he would show
that Fall tried to get the case back
from the Department of Justice later.
A letter from Secretary Fall,
dated in April, 1921, was read, sug-
gesting that the Miller cases be con-
tinued TO the fall term of court,
chiefly because of the absence from
Washington of the new Indian COM
who. the letter indicated.
wished to make further investiga-
tion.
Peck had testified that the proposed
continuance would have taken the
Miller cases out of his hands as
prosecutor. A personal and conf
dentiaf' letter from Peck to Daugh
pointing out ruInors'' of political
influence also was read by Booth.
