TRACK RELOCATION
CASE LOST BY D c.
Decision Holds Street Rail-
way Firms Cannot Be
Forced to Pay Costs.

The District of Columbia today lost
its appeal by which 1t sought to compel
the Georgetown g. Tennallytown Rail
way Co. and the washington Railway q
Electric Co. to pay $50, 1858 for the re-
location Of the tracks Of the companies
on Wisconsin avenue between MaS6A-
chusetts avenue and River road. The
District Court Of Appeals, in an opinion
firmed O decision Of Justice Stafford OF
the District Supreme Court, holding that
there is no provision Of law requiring
the companies to pay for the change OF
position of their tracks because the
municipality wanted to improve Wis
consin avenue.
Congress appropriated $3.50, 900 for
paving the Avenue and provided that
refund was to be obtained from the
street railway companies "as far as
provided by existing law" When the
work was 70 be commenced the COM
pariies were notified that an estimate
of the cost would be $65, 900 and un-
less the work was done by the COM
panies the District would have it done
and would seek to recover from the
compan'zs.
The railway companies admitted
liability to pave between the tracks and
rails and for 2 feet exterior, but denied
any law required them to pay for the
relocation of the tracks. The companies
expended $l06, ,408.72 for what was con-
sidered It's liability and told the Dis
trict to sue for the cost Of relocating
the tracks.
Both courts held that in the absence
of any statute requiring the companies
to bear such expense the District could
not recover for Its expenditure.

KELLY TO Be FREED
IN BAKER INQUIRY,
POLICE ANNOUNCE
Prisoner Is Absolved of Any
Connection With Death,
Official Asserts.
FOUND STOLEN JEWELRY
WITH CLOTHES IN SEWER
Report That Blood-stained Gar
ment, Discovered Yesterday, Be-
longed to Her, Is Denied.

George A. Kelly, brought here from
New York last week for questioning IN
connection with the finding by him OF
stolen pieces of jewelry with Mary
Bakers clothing In a sewer on the
Arlington Experimental Farm, will be
released today, police announced.
Kelly, who has been held for three
DAYS In the fifth precinct station house
on a warrant charging him with grand
larceny, has been absolved OF any con-
nection with the Baker case, Lieut..
Edward j. Kelly declared.
The man was arrested on warrant
issued on complaint OF roomer IN a
house on Twelfth street, who accused
Kelly In the theft Of clothing from MS
room. Lieut.. Kelly, however, expressed
the opinion that there is not sufncient
evidence to warrant bringing the ac-
cused to trial on the larceny charge
and it "a believed 1t will be nolle pressed.
Kelly was one of three men who
found Miss Bakers clothes and the
iewelry in the sewer. He was ques-
toned, after police had been told that
he went directly to the sewer in which
the clothes were concealed, and ad-
naitted this was true. He explained,
however, that this was merely an acci-
dent.
A report that blood-stained under
garment found yesterday on a road near
Arlington Cemetery belonged to Miss
Baker was denied by police. They said
the garment was shown to the two
girls with whom Miss Baker lived, and
that they denied 1t belonged to her.
Police still are working on the case,
but IL was announced that they had no
worthwhile clues to aid them.

War Time Installation Denied
By Supreme Court.

The Chesapeake q Potomac Tele-
phone Co. failed today in the Supreme
Court in its effort to compel the Federal
Government to pay approximately $780,
600 the company claimed 1t had lost
through the installation in Washing
ton, D. c., Of q large telephone SWITCH
board for the War Department during

the telephone company had q binding
contract with the Government for the
erection of the switchboard.
During the World War, to meet the
emergency, the War Department opened
telephone exchange Of Its own at 1873
F street northwest, In which the tele-
phone company placed a switchboard
costing approximately 100000.
After the war the exchange was
closed and the telephone company suf-
fered a net loss Of approximately $780,
900 on the switchboard.

CABINET MEMBERS WIN
IMPORT WRIT DECISION
Authority to Fix Quality Of Med
lcal Product to Be Brought
Into q. 8. Upheld.

The Secretary of the Treasury and
the Secretary of Agriculture are clothed
with judicial authority to decide on the
quality of ergot of rye sought to be
Imported into this country for the
manufacture of fluid extract of ergot,
which Is extensively used by physicians
for emergencies in obstetrical cases,
and their decision may not be con-
trolled by Injunction or by mandamus.
The District Court of Appeals so held
today in an opinion by Chief Justice
Martin affirming the action of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, which had dis
missed a suit for an injunction brought
BY Howard Ambruster, New York
importer of Spanish ergot Of rye, who
sought to prevent the officials from
permitting Importation Of an alleged
inferior product from other countries.
The appellate tribunal declares that
the oficials were invested with au-
thority to pass upon the admission oi
the inportations complained OF. and
the bill fails to disclose facts from
which 1t can be inferred that their
action In respect to the importations
was capricious or arbitrary.

Senator Couzens Hoping for
Conference on Measure
Before Week Ends.
MCCLELLAN WANTS GROUPS
TO REACH AGREEMENT
Expresses Opposition, However, to
Several Features Which House
Attached to Plan.

The bill to hberalize the Civil serv-
ice retirement system for Government
employees, which has been in conference
for more than month without an
agreement, should be settled before the
present session Of Congress ends, in the
opinion of Senator Couzens, Republican
of Michigan, one Of the conferees.
IT voted for the Dale bill and for
every act to liberalize the retirement
law" Senator CouZens stated today. II
am anxious to have the question con-
cluded for final legislative action at this
session. Senator Dale being chairman,
am not In q position to do anything
until he is ready to act, but am hop
ing there will be q conference this
week."
Opposes Several Features.
Opposition to several features Of the
new retirement plan which the House
incorporated in the original Dale bill
was expressed today by Senator Nc
Kellar, Democrat, Of Tennessee, also
one of the conferees, but he joined In
expressing the hope that the two groups
would be able Ito get together"
Senator McKellar indicated that he
Is opposed 10 the OcuuCtlOn OF $l
month from the salary of each en-
ploye, which, under the House bill
would 60 into the general retirement
fund without ALLEGATION to the indi-
vidual's account, to help meet the basic
annuity contemplated by the House
plan. He figured these deductions
would amount to about $5,00o,000 q
year.
The Senator from Tennessee said he
was opposed also to giving some en-
ployes more in retirement plan than
they received while in active service
which he said could ocurr under the
bill as amended.
Also Objects to Cost.
The Tennessee Senator further OBJ
jected to what he believes would be the
cost of administering the new retire
ment plan provided for under the House
amendment.
The conferees for the House and Sen
ate have not held q joint conference
since their first meeting more than a
month ago. Since that meeting, at
which no headway toward an agree
ment was made, the Senate members
have conferred among themselves and
gathered statistical information relating
to the House plan, but without further
