CONSUL 0vERRULED
IN PAPPAS WILL CASE
Greek Legation Attache Denied
Preferential Right to Act as Ad-
ministrator, But Acts Jointly.

Justice Adolph A. Hoehling of the
District Supreme Court today declar-
ed that a consular officer of the Re
public of Greece has no preferential
right to be appointed administrator
of the estate of Greek subject
dying in the District, although under
the treaty with Greece. which con-
tatns a most favored nation clause"
such officer is eligible for appoint
ment. Such appointments, the court
held, are always in the discretion of
the court in this Jurisdiction.
The matter arose on the death of
Thomas Pappas, Greek merchant,
who was found murdered in his store
on Seventh street a few weeks ago.
William PappaS. a brother, being dis
qualified because also an alien, asked
that letters of administration be
granted to Peter Glekas, a natural
lied citizen and owner of real estate
here. Christian Diamantopoulos. first
secretary of the Greek legation and
acting consul, opposed the granting
of letters to Glekas, and set up his
claim to a preferential right under
the treaty with the United States to
rot only take possession of the eff
fects of a Greek subject at death
until an administrators could be ap-
pointed, but also to be the admins
traitor of the estate.
Counsel for the legation officer in
sisted that under the most favored
nation clause" he should have the
same right accorded by the treaty
with Sweden. which shows the most
favor in this regard. Attorneys
Toomey & Toomey, for the brother of
Pappas, opposed the granting of let
tiers to the consul alone.
After disposing of the law point
the court. however, permits Mr.. Dia-
mantopoulos to share in the admin
istration. and expresses his intention
to appoint him co-administrator with
Mr.. GlekaS.

Col. Moller Indicated today that con-
sideration is being given to two kinds
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS highways
and express highways. An arterial
highway would be a main artery on
which there are street car rails, and
an express highway would be an
artery on which there are no tracks.
The object would be TO so fix the
regulations as to encourage motorists
to use the trackless thoroughfares in
preference to street car routes.
Col Moller also plans to try out in
the near future some new types Of
semaphores at a prominent downtown
intersection. In considering new
sennaphores the traffic officials will
keep in mind the principle of leaving
an interval for pedestrians to get
safely across the street.

AS to the possibility of a 35-ni;e

may be a few short stretches of road

apply, but nothing definite has been
decided. Wherever the speed limit

to Bring Agreement on
New Wage Demands.

The result of a series of conferences
IN the building trade unions yesterday
indicates that there is no chanGe IN
the strike possibilities and that thus

ed to avert the general walkout on

together with several officials of the
local union, conferred last night win

According to Mr.. Mcleod the stone

a contract for two years at the pres
ent scale This was refused. Nheh
the Master Masons declared lock-

Federation of Labor later today.
The local Building Trade Council

Gus building trades here met last
night and discussed the situation.
While no information was given out
officially it is understood that John

With a view of getting the master
plumbers and steamfitters to oppose
the increase demanded in these trades
a conference has been arranged be-
tween the master associations and the
Builders and Manufacturers Ex-

will take. The Builders and Manu-
facturers' Exchange together with the
Real Estate Board, the Operative
Builders and a number of the master
associations composed the Washing

William T. Galliher chairman of the
Federal American National Bank.
Further complications have arisen
over the Interpretation of the act re-
Gently passed by Congress declaring
that a licensed engineer should be put
in charge of all machinery on con-
struction jobs. The corporation coun-
sci has said that this did not apply to
cement mixers and other small ma
chimes and a conference is to be held
this afternoon by the Builders and
