DAVIS INDICTED
IN AUTO DEATH
Orchestra Owner Charged
With MansIaughter by
Grand Jury.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. October
9.-Meyer Davis, prominent cafe and
orchestra owner of Washf1gton. was
late yesterday indicted BY the Prince
Georges County grand jury in session
here on a charge Of manslaughter in
connection with the death Of Bernard
Booker, Philadelphia lawyer, the night
Of June e last. 1t is charged that
Davis was driving an automobile in
which Booker was a passenger. 1t
was testified at a preliminary hearing
held before Justice Of the Peace John
J. Fainter at Hyattsville after the ac-
cident that Booker'S head came into
contact with another car at Madison
avenue, Riverdale, when Davis, 1t Is
said, swerved his car suddenly to
avoid hitting this machine.
When Judge Fainter announced
the verdict notice was Immediately
given by States Attorney Alan Bowie
that he would bring the case before
the grand Jury on the ground that
sufficient evidence had been pre-
sented to hold Davis.
States Attorney Alan Bowie stated
that the charge Of reckless driving
against Davis in connection with the
accident also would be brought be-
fore the grand jury. He said that no
time for Davis trial on the man
slaughter charge had been set.

LONDON, October 9-Soviet Rus

COOLIDGE OPPOSES
4THCOMM|SS|ONER
Proposal to Substitute One
Man Rule for D. c. Board
Also Disapproved.

Those who are advocating changes
In the administration of the affairs Of
the District government, at least to
the extent of having a mayor as the
head, or else enlarging the present
Board Of commissioners, are going
to be disappointed if they turn to
President Coolidge for support.
The President is satisfied with the
manner in which the present District
government is working, and he would
oppose any changes now. While the
President has a good idea of the local
government and the manner in which
the Board of Commissioners func-
tions, he has given no serious study
to the proposals made by former Com
missioner Louis Brownlow and others
that a One-man government be eS-
tablished or that the board be in
creased to four or more members.
Mayor Not Favored.
From the Presidents advices he is
convinced that the three members of
the Board Of Commissioners are sat
isfactorily handling the affairs Of the
Capital, and he sees no reason for
making changes. If it should develop
that additional work makes 1t impos-
sible for them to properly handle it,
it is likely then that he would con-
sent to adding one or probably two
members. But, as for a mayor or city
manager, the President doubts very
much the advisability Of having the
Capital government in the hands Of
one Individual. Because of his long
experience in city and state admin
istration work the President is con.
c;I 10 i'm,
self upon the subject of a one-man
government.
President Coolidge, because Of his
special interest in the District. will
seek further information, not only re-
garding the proposals for changes in
the Government, but of other matters
equally important. 1t is thought likely
that the President will confer soon
with Cuno H. Rudolph, president of
the Board of District Commissioners,
at which time he will go over with
him matters Of interest to the District.
Views on Land Prices.
While on the subject Of the pro-
posed changes in the District govern
ment, the President let 1t be known
that the 25 per cent limitation on the
purchase price for sites for public
schools and parks strikes him as
being meritorious. He, at least. con-
siders this limitation as a necessary
safeguard in that 1t will serve to
protect the Treasury from extrav-
agant expenditures in the purchase of
property for schools and parks. He
realizes that. the provision, which was
placed in the appropriation bill for
the current year, must be viewed
somewhat in the light of an expert.
ment, but he feels that after 1t has
