POliceman's Debt
Declared Beyond
Scope of Board

A sensation was created at the Police
Trial Board hearing today when James
B. Flynn, counsel for Thomas B. Will
son, who claims Judgment of Sl20
against Policeman Karl 0. Spiess of the
sixth precinct. questioned the authority
of the board to inquire into debt collec-
ton questions of policemen and said
he would carry the question to the Glib
son subcommittee for definition of the
scope of the boards powers.
Wilson was awarded a Judgment OF
$120 against Spiess in Municipal Court
January as result of damage done to
his automobile which was parked in
front of 1886 Eighth street southeast and
which he charged Spiess collided with.
Flynn's principal objection was to the
Trial Board going into the merits of
the case after judgment had been
given his client in Municipal Court.
II do not think this board has any
jurisdiction over the case" he said, land
I will take 1t to the Gibson subcommit-
tee for definition of the scope of au-
thority which this board can exercise
over matters of this kind"
The charges were withdrawn from the
board.

DRIVE AT WHITE HOUSE

Granite Steps Concealed
Under Snow.

While spectators stood aghast, a
young woman calmly drove heavy
automobile of the roadster type down
the sharp incline OF eight granite steps
which lead from the space before the
White House Executive Offices to the
level of West Executive Avenue at noon
today and then disappeared northward
without mishap over the slippery street.
Inquiry disclosed that the. driver was
Miss Loretta Cunningham OF 542O Colo
RADIO avenue, George Washington Uni
versity student. 1t was quite apparent
that Miss Cunningham Lv.d mistaken
the street flight of steps buried under
snow for an exit from the White House
grounds and did not realize her predica-
ment until 1t was too late to stop
the car.
Miss Cunningham had brought to the
White House one of the members of the

ACTION ON D. c. BILL
IN HOUSE EXPECTED
Bingham Explains Senate
Conferees Were Forced
10 Yield ST, 600, 900.

The House today approved the con-
ference report on the District appro-
priation bill. It previously specifically
approved the conferees' agreement
changing the status of the Normal
School to four-year course with au-
thority to confer colleges degrees.
The new provision appropriating
$500 with direction to the District
Commissioners to make careful study
of the best method of caring for tu-
bercular children was made Immediately
available.
The Senate passed the bill yesterday
In presenting the report to the Sen
ate Chairman Bingham. Republican, Of
Connecticut explained that the House
was unwilling to grant any part of the
$l,000,000 increase favored by the Sem
ate in the Federal contribution toward
maintenance of the Capital City, and
that the Senate group had to agree to
the House provision continuing the
$4,000, 900 lump sum for another year.
Teacher Question Debated.
There was a brief debate preceding
adoption of the report on the question
of how teachers should be appointed to
the local schools. Because the House
group has agreed to the Senate amend
ment, raising the normal schools to the
level of teachers colleges, with four
year course and the right to confer de-
grees, the Senate group, in return,
agreed to repeal, effective in 1888, the
existing law by which local graduates
are given preference over outsiders in
appointment as teachers.
Senator Jones, Republican, of Wash
ington, told his colleagues he did not
sign the conference report because he
was opposed In principle to the change
regarding teacher appointments. He
said the conferees had partially met
his objection by postpoing the change
until 1888.
Stand of Senator Norris.
Senator Norris, Republican, of Me-
braska, said he agreed that the local
school system should obtain the beSi
teachers and should not be limited BY
geographical boundaries in making APP
pointments. He added, however, that il
had occurred to him that one reason
for selecting elementary teachers from
the District and not from the outside
may have been because in Washing
ton, more than elsewhere, there Is dan.
ger of political influence In appoint.
ments.
Senator Bingham said he had made
inquiry of school officials as to the
method of selection in competitive ex.
aminations and was informed that ap.
pointments are made from the top o.
the list, so that political considerations
would not enter,
