CHARGE T0DEMAND
JURY HELD ILLEGAL
Justice Siddons Holds Prac.
tice in Court Here Vic.
IateS Constitution.

Justice Siddons Of the District Su.
preme Court today decided that the
Municipal Court may not prescribe q
trial fee Of $40 for demand for a
jury trial." as the law authorizes only
a fee "for a jury trial." and not q
mere demand for one which never
takes place. The question is raised
in q mandamus proceeding brought
by Attorney Andrew Bradley on be-
half of William w. Bolls against
Blanche Neff. clerk Of the Municipal
Court, to require her to refund the
difference between the SO deposit for
jury trial made by his client and
the actual costs connected with the
docket entries concerning such de-
mand and its later withdrawal.
The rule of the Municipal Court, the
justice suggests, may be amended SO
as to prescribe a fee or cost for q
The present rule requires q deposit
of SO on demand for jury trial. but
does not permit return Of that de-
post unless notice OF Aiscontinuance
settlement or waiver be given the
clerk In writing at least Ave days
This latter provision, the court
fiEds, runs counter to the provision
OF the Constitution guaranteeing a
right Of trial by jury where the value
in controversy shall exceed $50. In
establishing judicial tribunals, Jus
tice Siddons declares. to satisfy the
constitutional requirements the fed
eral government must provide a jury
as an integral part OF such tribunals
as much as providing judge for q
constitutional court composed Of both
judge and jury. In civil cases the
right of jury may be waived by the
parties. but even then, IL either party
demands 1t, the jury must be pro-
vided.
Assuming, without deciding, that the
legislature may direct the collection OF
fees for asJury trial in a civil case when
demanded, Justice Siddons questioned
the right to penalize a litigant for de-
nanding his constitutional right, while

that often after a demand rs made for
a jury trial the litigants compose their
differences or a judgment by confession

SEES RING RULING
VETERANS BUREAU
Senator 0ddie Believes
Clique Was Carried Over
From Forbes Regime.

Senator Oddie. republican, of Ne

his belief that a ring" in the Vete-
rams Bureau has so manipulated
things that they have made it difficult
for Director Hines to learn all that
tee which investigated the bureau,
AS a member of the Senate commit
tee which Investigated tn bureau,
Senator eddie said he would welcome
the appearance of Gen. Hines before
the committee to take up charges
that a clique carried over from the
Forbes administration still controls
the bureaus policy.
II believe" said Senator eddie,
that Gen. Hines is honest in his en-
deavor TO do everything possible to
but the bureau on a business basis.

Senator Oddie added, however. there
Hines that a ring" does exist. and
that 1t could not be broken up by
shifting it's personnel from one posi-
ton to another. He pointed to the
report Of the committees counsel as
bringing out these charges.
THE very fact" Senator Oddie said,
that most of the assistants to the
present director were inherited from
the Forbes regime and the unsatis-
factory conditions existing during
that administration, would be suffi-
cient grounds for change of ad-
yisers.
He urged, for the sake OF morale,
that men now in the bureau who had
proven their qualifications be pro-
NOTED to these important posts and
denied that personnel changes would
hamper the work Of administering to
the veterans.
Cites Cases OF Suffering.
TT is my beliefI' Senator Oddie con-
tinued, that the disallowance. for one
reason or another, of many claims
which have been filed with the bureau
has caused untold suffering and hard
ship to disabled veterans. Many of
these claims are classed by the bu-
reau as failure TO prosecute. To
my certain knowledge this failure, in
many cases, has been due to the lack
by the bureau of properly advising
claimants as to their rights under the
law and a tendency on the part of the
bureau TO visualize the intent of the
law.
Every possible means should he
exhausted to assist the disabled men
in properly presenting their claims,
rather than set up an Organization to
defeat the will of the people"

SAFETY BODY VOTES
BUDGET OF $4,000

A budget OF $4,000 for the work
Of the Washington Safety Council
this year was adopted at a meeting
OF the council in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms yesterday afternoon.
Efforts were made to have the
amount set at $4,000. which would
include 5000 for painting white
lines at street intersections and
around schools. The majority de-
cided that this could be paid for
through congressional appropriation.
A committee, however, was an
pointed, composed of John ]. Boohar
William F. Ham, Albert II. HeadIey'
William r. Baker. Gus A. Schuldt and
A. c. Monahan, to confer with the
Commissioners and budget commit
tee rs to the inclusion Of the ad-
ditfona1 amount.
It was decided to hold the annual
meeting Of the council February %.
In the meantime officers of the coun-
ell viii engage in a campaign to
awaken the interest Of Washington
business interests to the need OF con-
tipuing safety work. Already some
OF the concerns which contributed
to the council last year have signified
their desire to contribute again.

Senator Ball said today that the
Senate District committee would mot
meet to take action on the bill until two
weeks from today. In the mean
time the subcommittee will meet
with the committee representing. the
various trade and civic organizations
of the District which are opposing.
the gas tax bill in $the form passed
by the House.
Senator Ball expressed the opinion
that at least one-third of the money
raised by the gasoline tax in the Dis
trict would be paid by visitors to
Washington. For that reason, he said,
he thought there should be no OPP
money used for street improvements
without the addition of the usual 40
per cent by the federal government.
The discussion of the gas tax bill
today was informal. since the bill
was not actually before the commit
tee.
Senator Ball said it was his desire
and the desire of other members of
the committee to bring about prompt
action of the Senate on the gas tax
bill so that the bills might go to con-
ference with the House and become a
law as soon as possible. He said that
he believed the Maryland authorities
would be willing to extend the pres
emit period of reciprocity in the mat
ter Of automobile licenses If the gas
tax bill does not become law by
