MARSHALL CASE
Is CONTINUED
w. Marshall to Have Hear
ing on Murder Charge
on Sept. 5.
HELD WITHOUT BONDS
Defendant Chats and Smokes
While Waiting for Lawyer
This Morning.

William Marshall, charged with the
murder of his father, James Marshall,
was brought into the municipal court
this morning for preliminary hear
ing before Judge Slater. Present in
the courtroom were MafshalIs mother,
james Marshalls widow, who entered
sobbing and took a seat in the rear OF
the room.
Judge Slater ordered continuance
of the case until September 5 at 8 q.
M, and the defendant held without
bonds until that time. He added that
if the district attorney and the defense
counsel could agree on date before
that time, he would take the matter up
sooner.
Lawyer Not Present.
The continuance was taken because
Marshalls. attorney, R, v, Baker, was
not present in the courtroom, and
could not be located for the moment
At first Judge Slater ordered the
matter held open until the defense at
torney could be reached, as the court
was ready to go on and the district
attorney, Morris Barnett, was present.
''You don't mind waiting here" said
Judge Slater to Marshall as he left
the bench, rather than 60 over to
Jail and come back again 2"
81 should say mott" said the young
man emphatically, responding with a
smile, and looking longingly( at the
sunshine, from which he had been ex-
clrded through his own rash act Tor
a number of weeks
Presently Marshall asked Police OF
ficer Callahan, in whose custody he
was, if he might go into the clerks
office and smoke. The officer granted
permission, but accompanied the de-
PENDANT to the other room, where Mar
shall, sitting on the ledge of the open
window. smoked and chatted with his
companion.
1t is not certain whether the hearing
will be held on the date set or held
at all, for Marshalls counsel may de-
eide to waive the preliminary and
wait for trial.
OF interest to the defendant, how
ever, is the possibility that bonds will
be set and at such an amount as soon
as Marshall is bound over that he may
be able to raise the bonds and be at
liberty to await trial. Several men
connected with the family have an
nounced themselves ready to put up
the bonds.

70 PUSH
BILL
Changes of Measure Passing
Effected Little by New
Ruling.

The rent extension resolution
will be pushed through Congress,
notwithstanding the partially un-
favorable decision of the United
States Supreme Court affecting
the validity of the present act.
In both House and Senate, sup
porters of the resolution today
denied that the Chastleton opinion
modified their decision to press
the extension resolution to pass
age, and were not inclined to
Think opposition in either branch
Of Congress would be increased
as the result of the Supreme
Court development.
Was Held Constitutional.
Senator Ball, chairman Of the
District Committee, and the pioneer
in local rent legislation, would offer
no opinion today as to the merits
Of the Supreme Court decision, but
said that, in his view, it did not
relate to the question of the con-
atitutionality of the act. He pointed
to the fact that the court already
has declared the law constitutional
on the ground that a housing
emergency existed in Washington,
and he is confident that the survey
recently conducted by the Senate
District Committee, which showed
clearly that the housing shortage
In Washington remains acute, will
be justified by any collateral in
quiry conducted by the District
Supreme Court or any other agency.
In the House the champions of
rent legislation do not think the
Supreme Court opinion will un-
favorably affect the chances of
passing the rent extension resolu-
special rule next Monday.
Thorough Survey Likely.
1t is possible that, in the near
future, the District Supreme Court
win follow the suggestion of the
highest court and collect data on
the local housing situation when a
test case on the rent law. probably
the Chastleton case, comes befOrs
It. Testimony undoubtedly will be
called for from the Rent Commits
sion, the District authorities, the
tenants, real estate interests, ETC.,
so that q thorough and impartial
investigation will be possible.
This procedure now seems to be
the next step in the tangled rent
situation in Washington, with the
law being continued in the mean
while on the assumption that the
court will find that the emergency
still continues. If it finds other.
wise, then it appears to be certain
that the law soon will be dead
letter, the Supreme Court decision
clearly pointing in that direction.
