told it to the subcommittee under
oath.
A large part OF today's hearings
was taken up by General Mac.
Cheeney and his testimony was CON
sidered so helpful to the con1mittee
that the counsel was invited to
take up the entire two hours OF
the hearing to be held tonight.
While General MacChesneX, came
hero to. testify in behalf of the
Washington and other real estate
boards throughout the country it
was decided that his time will not
b counted against the local real
estate men.
Whether or not Congress had the
power to enact the drastic Whaley
bill is the question which continually
popped up at today's hearing and
General MacChesney is expected to-
night to cite Supreme Court cases
which show the attitude OF that body
On the restricting Of private enter
prises.
Lawyer or Note.
General MacChesney, who IL a con-
statutional lawyer OF note, IL also
expected tonight to give his opinion
on whether Congress has more power
To regulate the District than State
has 20 regulate her citizens.
General MacChesney unequivoc-
ally denounced the Whaley rent
bill as economically unsound"
ana declared It was unfair to single
out any one industry for
restrictions.
He went a. far as to say that
the Whaley bill was q hastily
assembled piece OF proposed legis-
lafaon ON the part Of q prejudiced
mind. He said that Il was~ danger
Gus I'm that & would serve to halt
construction, whereas construction
IL in reality the only solution Of
the problem.
Takes Rap at q. 8. workers.
An attempt was made by Con-
gresham Thomas L. Blanton to
take q few jibes at the Government
workers here in Washington but
he was cut short by Chairman Ball.
In attempting to prove that the
rent situation is not undermining
the health and morals of Govern
naent workers Congressman Blanton
q
engineer here whose business is at
8I7 Fourteenth street, but whose
name he refused to divulge, in
which It was charged "there are
more $500 fur coats swishing about
the Government departments here
than there are on Fifth avenue,
and the girls employed by the Gov
eminent here are so elaborately
Gostumed that their workrooms re-
semble ''the ante-room to a fancy
dress ball"
Petty Explains Stand.
Executive Secretary Petty in his
statement tools occasion to again
explain the letter of the Washington
Real Estate Board to President
Coolidge. This is the letter which
the real estate men contend that
they offered their aid to the Gov
eminent to remedy the rent situa-
ton, and said that IL was miscon-
strued by President Coolidge to
mean that they favored the Whaley
rent bill.
It was brought out by Mr.. Petty
that, while there are nearly 500 Ii
eensed real estate operators in
Washington, to say nothing Of ap-
proximately a 1000 real estate sales
men, that there are only 100 who
are members of the Washington
Real Estate Board. In this connec-s
ton he pointed to the model IL
censing law which the board has
submitted to the committee, and
said that this measure would go a
long ways toward remedying this

Faced with the thought that she

AT the same time the district
attorney was determined, he said,
to bring the confessed mother killer

If the girl is taken into police
