DOCTORS COULD
KILL SUFFERERS
GIVEN RIGHT TO LEGAL MUIR
DER BY BILL BEFORE THE
DANISH PARLIAMENT.

A law which would permit physi-
clans to take the lives of hopelessly
iii patients has been introduced in the
parliament Of Denmark by Minister OF
Justice Steincke. The proposal has
aroused little comment in Denmark,
and it is believed that it will meet no
serious opposition in the parliament.
Physicians and surgeons in the
United States believe that the law, II
passed, will have no startling conse-
quences, but will merely legalize a
common practice in countries in north
ern Europe.
1t is known that in this part of the
world physicians frequently take the
lives of patients who have no hope OF
recovery, and that rarely ever has a
doctor been prosecuted for such &C
ton.
Immunity From Prosecution.
1t is the custom, the American
physicians say, for a doctor to give
morphine in large quantities to hope
lessly i'll patients. The drug assures a
peaceful death, which in some cases
would be impossible if the sufferers
were permitted to live as long as pos
sible.
The Steincke bill states: IF action
is taken to relieve hopelessly i'll per
son from severe and inevitable suffer
ings. punishment shall be waived un-
der extenuating circumstances"

in old Army circles for her active
work in army relief in Cuba and the
Philippines as well as in the United
States during the world war. Her

SCOUT PAY CAUSING
PHILIPPINE TROUBLE
Native Soldiers Seek Wages Equal
to That of Regular Army
Members.

Reports received at the War De-
partment show that while there has
been no actual mutiny on the part
of the Philippine Scouts, there is
considerable dissatisfaction in the
ranks of the organization because
their pay and allowances are less
than half that of soldiers of the
Regular United States Army per-
forming similar military duty in the
islands. 1t appears that leaders
among the native soldiers are organ
izing a movement to bring about
more equitable treatment. Though all
the principal officers Of the Philippine
Scouts are Americans, many Of those of
lower grades are native Filipinos.
At the War Department, it was ex-
planned that the pay and allowances
of the Philippine Scouts were
originally based on their average
living expenses, which were found
to be materially less than the or
dinary living expenses of the Ameri-
cans. The rates have since been in
creased.
Secretary Weeks has called for an
investigation of the subject to see if
there is any way of affording relief
to the scouts, but it is believed that
1T would require an act of Congress
to change the existing rates of pay.

The Missouri Society of Washing

EARLY RULING SEEN
ON HOUSING ISSUE
Decision From Court of Ap-
peaIs in Emergency Con-
troversy Is Expected.
WRITS OF ERROR GRANTED
Order in Two Cases by Appellate
Tribunal Held to Signify
Further Action.
WRITS OF ERROR GRANTED

An early decision by the District Court
Of Appeals on the question of the pass
ing of the housing emergency which
formed the basis of the Ball rent act
may be expected from the granting to-
day by that tribunal of two writs of
error to the Municipal Court for a re-
view of two decisions made in the lower
court few days ago.
Judge Mattingly, holding a different
view from that expressed yesterday by
Judge Meehan of the same tribunal as
to the burden of proof of the passing of
the emergency, had denied possession to
Frances F. Peck, owner of premises 211
and 2l1-A Morgan street northwest, in
two suits to GUST her tenants, Jacob
II. Fink and John Hanlon.
Attorney Refuses to Oner Proof.
Attorney Louis Gutenberg, for the
owner, refused to- offer proof of the
passing of the emergency, claiming that
the burden was on the tenant to show
that the emergency still exists, but
Judge Mattinsly gave judgment for the
tenants. judge Meehan yesterday held
that it is the tenant who must show that
there is still an emergency.
The tenants last February took
their case to the Rent Commission
for a reduction from the contract
price for rental and determination
in their favor reducing the rental
was made by the commission after
the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Chastleton case.
The owner refused-to abide by the
determination, and when the tenants
declined to pay the old rate of rent
brought suit in the Municipal Court
to oust them.
Argument for Writs OF Error.
Attorney Gutenberg, in his applica
tion to the Court of Appeals for writs
of error, set forth the passing of the
emergency, the decision in the Chas
tleton case and claim that the
joint resolution extending the life of
the rent commission for one year
does not operate to extend the valid
ity or binding force of the determl-
nations made by the commission
prior to May %, 1924. The determi-
nation in these two cases was rem
dered early in May.
