BRIEFS REQUESTED
IN SANITARY CASE
Suit of Mrs. Renee Noel of
Near KenSington Heard
at Rockville.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, March 5.-Argu-
ments were heard this morning by
Judge Robert Peter and briefs requested
In the case Of Mrs. Renee Noel of Con-
necticut avenue near Kensington, test
ing the right Of the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission to collect
increased front foot charges for i'm
provcments. About $4,000 pieces OF
property in Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties are involved in the
outcome.
In 1926 Jack G. Scrivencr OF Ken
sington sued the commission, charging
it had no right to increase front-foot
charges and Circuit Court ruling in
his favor was upheld by the Maryland
Court OF Appeals. The State Legisla-
ture last year. however. authorized the
sanitary commission to levy and col
lect the increased charges. and Mrs
Noel declares the legislative action Is
unconstitutional. usurps judicial powers
and interferes with the courts. In It's
demurrer the commission holds the leg
!Slative action legal because 1t makes
the assessments legislative. T. Howard
Duckett and Charles w Clagett argued
for the commission. while Mrs. Noel
was represented by Wilson l.. Townsend
and +. r. Noel.

OFF|CER'SSALARY
! PAYMENT ORDERED
Lieut.. Comdr. Baker Entitled
to Pay, Despite Alleged
Debt, Court Holds.

Lieut.. Comdr. Virgil Baker. U. S. N,
retired, was declared entitled to receive
his full pay despite the claim that he
is indebted 70 the United States IN the
sum Of s7.75lc2. II was decided TODAY
by Justice Charles H. Robb Of the Dis
trict Court OF Appeals.
J. Raymond McCarl, controller gen.
eral Of the United States, contended
that a naval officer docs not come into
equity with clean hands when he seeks
~ enforce q salary payment while i'll
ocbted 10 the United States in another
matter. The court, however. pointed
out that the doctrine Of clean hands
has its limitations and that the wrong
which may be invoked to defeat plain
t;T must have an immediate and neces-
sarv relation to the equity Tor the en-
forcement Of which he prays.
Not a Matter for Consideration.
II does not matter If he has done a
wrong il another transaction as long
as il is not related to the case before
court. Justice Robb cited in his occl-
sion IL favor Of Cordr. Baker.
In the present case" says Justice
RShp, III is ClcaE lIldb lilG diitteSeN Az
transactions upon which the controller
general based his conclusion that ap-
pellant is indebted TO the United States
are separate and distinct from the
question whether appellant has earned
the salary and allowances he is seeking
to recover and whether an appropriation
is available for their payment. We do
not understand that 1t is even con-
tended that appellant has not earned
the salary and allowances he is seeking
TO recover or that there is any direct
relationship between this and prior
transactions between appellant and the
United States. The maxim sought TO be
invoked by MoCarl has no application.
Ruling by McCarl
NcCarl held that the officer owed the
United States s63s7.Ss for salary paid
him as an inspector of hulls from April
