RENEWING REVOKED
PERMITS STUDIED
Plan Being Evolved for Ap.
peal to Commissioners
and Then Court.

A definite form of procedure for the
commissioners to follow in hearing
the appeal of motorists whose driv-
ing permits are suspended is being
framed today by Corporation Counsel
Francis III. Stephens.
The Commissioners now have before
them the first appeal from the action
of Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge
in suspending q permit under the
amended traffic regulations, and will
hear it just as soon as Mr.. Stephens
submits his recommendation
Mr.. Stephens plans to suggest a
method of procedure modelled after
that of the Court of Appeals. When
a permit Is suspended and the appeal
is taken to the Commissioners the
licensee will be called upon to submit
a petition, under oath, setting forth
the reasons why he deems the traffic
directors action has been unlawful
The traffic director would have five
days in which to reply. No oral argu-
mentS would be presented.
Under the present law motorist
whose permit is suspended or revoked
has 10 days in which to appeal from
the action of the traffic director.
The appeal automatically stays the
suspension or revocation for that
period. If the Commissioners uphold
the action of the traffic director the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-07-30

licensee has the right to appeal to
the Court of Appeals within 80 days,
but his permit is withdrawn imme-
diately upon the decision of the Com
missioners.
Mr.. Eldridge has Cancelled 20
drivers permits thus far this month
under the original traffic act, and IT
under the amended act. Only one ap-
peal from his action has been noted
in these 46 cases.
Mr.. Eldridge today warned motor
lists that unless they voluntarily make
application for renewal of their per-
mits within a reasonable time, steps
will be taken to force them to do It,.
Applications for the new permits
now are being made voluntarily at a
good, rate, he said, but he fears some
drivers will procrastihate and delay
the work of the Traffic Bureau
IF there appears to be any let-up
in the demand" he said, regulations
will be set up to cancel thu old per-
mits either by names or numbers at
a given date. That will cause an in
convenience to some drivers who may
be out of the city, and / hope such
action will not be necessary"

D. C. Suit for Lights
Near Union Station
Back ON. Calendar

Justice Hoehling of the District
Supreme Court today restored to
the trial calendar the suit of the
District Of Columbia against the
Washington Terminal Co. to re-
cover $11,233 for the lighting Of
certain streets in the vicinity Of
Union Station. The suit was filed
October ~, 1923, but was dismissed
from the calendar under q blanket
court order. The restoration was
made on motion of Corporation
Counsel Stephens and Assistant
Corporation Counsel William III.
Wahly.
The terminal company, through
Attorneys Hamilton & Hamilton
denied liability for the costs of
lighting the adjacent streets, say
ing it operated it's own lighting
plant and should not be required
to pay for street lighting any more
than any other taxpayer whose
property faced on the street.

LAST Of OLD REDS
REPORTED OUSTED
OpportunistS Said to Rule Su-
preme With Execution Of
Dzjerjinski in Moscow.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

by Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
PARIS, July 30.-European diplo-
matte circles are awaiting with great
interest precise news of recent events
in Russia, where the last of the ola
line Communists now seem to have
been eliminated from power and the
opportunists reign supreme.
According to reports from Helsing-
fors, which may or may not be true,
Dzjerjinski was the last obstacle In
the way of the opportunists, and his
removal was decided upon July -
in a meeting of the political bureau.
Cheka agents, acting on orders
of the political bureau, gave him
three days in which to absent him.
self on leave. He refused. In a
stormy interview he is declared to
have drawn a revolver and tried to
shoot Leon Trotsky, but was dis
armed and imprisoned in his apart
ment.
Trotzky ordered his execution,
which was duly accomplished. not
by hanging or poisoning, but by SUI
location. News of the execution
caused popular disorders in MOSCOW
and troops were brought from Lenin-
sgrad, Kieff and other cities.
Dzjeriinski's secretaries and FOR
mer collaborators then were arrest
ed. Search of his apartments re-
vealed considerable quantities OF
gold and jewels, including the dia-
mond-covered baton of former
patriarch.
Following the events, Zinoviev was
removed from office and the return
of Leonid Krassin to London was
announced.
Whatever may be the exact truth,
It is evident that important political
changes are occurring in Soviet Rus
