ago, one Of which resulted in a
death and the other serious injury
to pedestrian, were today ordered

p, Mcmahon in Traffic Court.
Some automobile drivers seem
to have d mental complex which
makes them try to blame q pedes-
trian proceeding legally across q
crosswalk, for not jumping out of
their way" Judge Mcmahon said.
Both cases involved the right OF
way of pedestrians over automo-
biles at crogsWalks.

complicated legal aspects Of the

before the defendant was sen.
fenced.
Watch watching Children
DR.. Gray testified he failed to
see Lacey, who stepped in the
path Of his car from in front Of

DETENTION SITE
PARLEY OFF

The District Commissioners do
not think very much Of Mrs. Nina
Van wrinkles plan to locate the
House Of Detention in the Govern
ment Hotels on Union station
Plaza, 1t was learned today.
The Commissioners in a desperate
effort to find another location were
to confer with Mrs. Van Wrinkle
and Major Edwin b. Hesse, chief Of
police.
shortly after Mrs. Van Wrinkle
arrived the Commissioner and
Major Hesse received call to ap.
pear before the House Appropria.
tions Committee and called the con.
ference off.
Following q meeting OF the Dis
trict Commissioners last night, It
was announced that II Is possible
the House Of Detention may be tenn.
porarily located in the Government
Hotels on the Union Station Plaza.
Commissioners "Cagys
Mrs. Van WinlxIe has been seek.
ing permission OF Federal officials
to locate the House Of Detention in
the hotels. The Commissioner win
not ask permission to use the hotels
until they are assured their request
will not be turned down.
District officials have been har-
rassed by the House Of Detention
problem ever since it was moved
from the old Emergency Hospital
building ait Fifteenth Street and Ohio
Avenue Northwest.
The District Supreme Court has
ordered 1t moved from its present
location IN Il converted apartment
house on B st. near Ninth st. 8. W.
not later than january 81.
Baked Three Times
The b street location was selected
only after citizens had frustrated
two previous attempts to locate the
house In other sections of the city.
Justice Jennings Bailey ruled that
the District had placed the House
OF Detension In q residential ser.
tion III violation Of its own coming
regulations.
District officials point out that
under the court ruling the House
Of Detention must be located In q
commercial zone. This will make
the cost OF d site much more
expensive. they said.
Whatever location Il selected viii

measure that the Senate Civil
Service Committee reported favor
ably in the last session and which
was passed by the Senate.
Later, however, the Senate had
to compromise with the House in
order to get bill which President
Coolidge would approve. It was this
compromise which resulted in the
muddled bill which was finally
enacted and on which there has
since been 80 much controversy.
Confusion Eliminated
Under the Brookhart measure
there would be no confusion about
administration or incorporation
such as followed the enactment of
the Wesch act last spring. It's
provisions definitely determine ex.
actIy how much increase each EN-.
ploye in the Government would
get. It is estimated that the
measure would cost the Government
about $4,000, 900 q year.
The Brookhart bill provides for
pay increase of two salary levels
for practically every employe In
the lower grades Of the Federal
service, whereas the WEIGH Act
gave q single increase to many of
them. The bill would mean an
additional Increase of $50 or 800 q
year for thousands OF employees.
Chairman Frederick r.. LehIbach,
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee, has already announced his
opposition to the Brookhart bill.
lit is probably for this reason that
the Senate committee Is acting
promptly. It's swift action IL cal.
culated to show Lehlbach that he
is facing q united front in the
Senate.
Opposition Looms
There Ii little doubt that II PresI.
dent Coolidge would approve the
Brookhart bill 1t would have easy
shedding in Congress. The Senate
passed the same bin last year and in
the House there is a strong senti-
ment In favor of 1t.

President Coolidge would sign It,
But without this assurance he Il
