HOTEL MEN ATTACK
PRICE-POSTING LAW
McKees Hold Act Is Unconstitu-
tional and Injuries Their
Business.

The Metropolitan Hotel, owned and
operated by Townley A. Mckee and
Ralph Mckee, today attacked the va
lidity of the act of Congress passed
May II last requiring hotels to post
conspicuously in rooms cards stating
the price per day for each room. The
McKees brought suit for an injunc-
ton in the District Supreme Court
against the District Commissioners to
prevent any attempt to enforce the
provisions Of the act, which. they
claim. is unconstitutional. as depriv
ing hotel owners of their property
without due process of law.
Through Attorneys Colladay, Cliff
ford e. Pettus. the plaintiffs point out
that they have been in the hotel bust
ness for is years and have $4,000
invested in their business, which has
been operated as a hotel since 1851.
The rate of room rents depends en-
tirely, the court is advised, on the
cost of maintaining the hotel, which
varies with taxes, insurance, upkeep
and the like. The plaintiffs declare
they have exercised the free right of
contract with patrons to the salts
faction of host and guest by advanc-
ing or reducing the room rates to
meet the varying conditions of bust
ness.
The provision of the act recurring
the notification to the District Com
missioners of any contemplate ed
changes for their approval Is de-
clared by the plaintiffs to be both
unconstitutional and repugnant. If
the requirements of the act are ex-
acted, the plaintiffs say. they will
suffer irreparable injury.

TEXTBOOK GROUPS
NAMED BY BALLOU
Committee Will Study Works
Now Used and Recon-
mend Changes.

Changes in textbooks used in the Dis
trict public schools will be considered
by three committees composed or
school officers and teachers appointed
today by Supt. Frank w. Baliou. One
committee will consider elementary
school books, another Junior high
school books and the third senior high
and normal school books.
In a circular letter to school officers
and teachers, DR.. Bal!ou said that
recommendations for changes i'll text
books should be in the hands of a
member of the proper committee OH or
before December |.
Cite Cost Of Changes.
"A statement indicating the weak
nesses of the book to be displac d
and the merits Of the book recon-
mended should accompany each rec
ommendation," said DIR. Ballou's let
ter Teachers should remember that
a change in text books renders the
text replaced practically valueless,
and in many cases is an increased
cost to the student They should re-
member. further, tina: books once
adopted are retained at least three
years and that no additions or
changes should be made without care
full and intelligent study. A change
from a book now in use to a revised
edition of the same text required
formal action by the BOARD of Educa-
ton.
Each textbook committee makes
a single report each year to the SUI
perintendent of schools. No requests
for changes for. the succeeding school
year should be made after the date
given above. Suggestions and rec
concentrations from officers and
