FUNDS FOR PAYING
JURORS EXHAUSTED
Service May Be Discontinued On
less Judges Depend on De-
ficiency Bill.
HAVE PRECEDENT TO ACT
Police Court Dockets Jammed With
Cases Awaiting Trial.

The fund for payment of jurors for
services in the United States. District
of Columbia and \ Traffic Court
branches of the Police Court has been
exhausted. There remains in the
fund only SCI. Unless the judges Of
the courts decide to continue the jury
service. depending upon a deficiency
appropriation with which to pay the
jurors, the jury service will have to
be discontinued until the end of the
fiscal year, June 80.
There is precedent for the judges
to continue the jury services where
the fund for their payment has been
exhausted. But it has not been de-
termined by the judges in the pres
ent emergency just what will be done.
The appropriation for payment Of
jurors in the police courts, a part Of
the District of Columbia general ap-
preparation bill, for the current fiscal
900.
A similar sum is provided in the
appropriation bill of the District of
Columbia for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1925. The court asked for
$4,000, but the amount was not al
lowed and the original sum of $4,000
was inserted. A jury panel of twenty
six men at $3 a day costs the govern
ment SIS day. Frequently both
juries serve at the same time, or
rather the same day. A single panel
of twelve men at IS costs $36. An
ticipating the depletion of the jury
fund before the end of the fiscal year,
the court officials asked the budget
for an emergency allowance of So, 500.
which the budget approved. and that
has been embodied in a bill that is
now before Congress. There are four
jury days in the police courts-Tues-
days, Wednesdays, Thursdays and
Fridays. Practically in all of the major
cases, including violations of the ma
tional prohibition law, defendants de-
mand trial by juries as their right.

WILL TEST OPINION
ON ZONING MEASURE
Commission Has Difficult Question
Raised by Embassy
Petition.
INVOLVES CITIZENS RIGHTS
Proposition Bone of Contention for
Long Time.

A test of public opinion relative to the
addition Of a provision to the District
zoning law will be made tomorrow at
the Zoning Commission meeting in the
District building. The provision in queS-
tion relates to the Commissioners grant
ing a permit for the erection of any
structure in any area or location adver-
tised for public hearing by the commits
sion when consideration of a change in
the zoning plan is about to be given.
This proposition has been a bone of
contention since the institution of the
Zoning act in the District The procedure
in obtaining permits is the underlying
basis.
First Obtains Permit.
A builder, for instance, will go first
to the Zoning experts at the District
building, and discover that he can build
a garage at a certain location without
obtaining consents from abutting or
nearby property holders. He puts out
his money for his plans. and goes down
to the office of the building inspector
and gets his permit Then the citizens
learn of it. and objections to the garage
begin to pile in But the Commissioners
have no authority TO revoke the permit.
The spirit of the law is that the
neighborhood should have had suffi-
cient interest in the property pre-
viously to have it changed from the
Zoning classification that permits the
erection of the garage. The provision
is aimed at testing public opinion
relative TO this point. The question
is: Should citizens have sufficient in
tereSt to have their section zoned as
it should be in the first place, or
should they wait until building is
contemplated before making a pro-
test?
Embassy Represented.
The German embassy will be repre-
sented among the plaintiffs at the
hearing. The embassy is seeking to
have property owned by it opposite
the residence of the late Woodrow
Wilson, on S street between 23d street
and Phelps place, changed from a.
restricted area to "B'' area. reSiden-
tial. The "A" restricted area allows
only 40 per cent of the lot to be oc-
cupied by a building, and allows only
detached or semi, detached homes
'B' area permits hotels and apart
ments. Residents of the nefghbor-
hood have indicated that some strong
and vigorous protests are to be forth
coming on this matter.
Another interesting item Will be
COllSlutFdllOn ol 'HdIlSIilS apouS
eighty-SiX parcels and lots which
were retained in the A area when
the "A" restricted area was created
on October 81, 1928. to the latter
classification from the former. These
parcels are held by about ten prop
erty owners. They represent the
ones on which protests were made
against placing additional restric-
tions when the restriction allowing
only dwellings in the new classified
tionS was placed.
A number of other interesting
topics will be up. These include the
change from the SiXty-foot to the
forty foot height restriction in resi-
Dental Georgetown. and changes in
classification in other areas.

The dockets of the courts are now
jammed with cases awaiting trial by
juries. The discontinuance of the jury
service would work hardship on the
offices of the assistant district attor-
neys and assistant corporation coun-
sells as well as contribute largely to
further jamming of the already
heavy trial dockets.

GARRETT p. SERVISS ON NEW
BATTLE WITH OLD AGE
Gland Treatment Often Repairs WORKOUT Organs.
But Conquest of Senility Is Still Doubtful

~ ocToR RAoUL BAUDET,
sufgeon-in-chief at the,
IL Bichat Hospital, in Paris,
has made some plain and useful
statements about the results and
the possibilities Of the attack
now being made on old age and
senile decay by way Of the
endocrine and other glands. He
does not deny that almost magical
consequences often follow the
employment Of the gland treat
ment, both by grating" and by
injection, but he throws a little,
perhaps needed, cold water" on
the popular belief that medical
science Is now able to turn back
the hands on the dial of human
life.
