Smith Company case. That is not
true.
"The Washington Real Estate
Board has been in favor of such
legislation as this long before the
Smith case was heard of. In fact,
I think, as far back as 1924 and
1925. Certain newspaper head
lines have given the wrong impress
sion concerning the reasons for
this legislation. It is not based
on the Smith case"
Continued Analysis
Petty then continued with his
analysis Of the bill and suggested
several minor changes. One
change recommended by him was
that the proposed real estate COM
mission begin to function 80
days after enactment of the law,
instead of 60 days as originally
proposed. Petty said he did not
think so days a sufficient time
in which to set up entire new
machinery for regulation Of the

Another change which he rec
commended was that the bill be
amended to create a real estate

TRIAL

The collapse of a hungry man
on the witness stand before Judge
Ralph Given in Police Court today
was cited by ten Communists in
the courtroom awaiting trial as an
example of the result of unemploy-
ment claimed to be prevalent
throughout the country.
While the ten alleged partici-
pants in yesterdays demonStra-
ton in front of the White House
looked on awaiting hearings on
their own charges, William j.
Gibbs, Of Richmond, Va, who said
he came to washington looking for
work, tainted as Judge Given was
about to sentence him. Gibbs was
arrested on r Street by Policeman
F. B. Knapp, of the Sixth pre-
cinct, who said he was .panhan-
ding. He was charged with va
grancy and intoXication.
He was revived by bailiff and
Judge Given took personal bond
on the charges. .-
Only When Excited
do you often have these
spells?" the court asked Gibbs.
"Only when I'm excited" he
replied.
When the charges against the
alleged participants in Red
Thursday" were placed before him,
Judge Given refused to hear the
cases. He is sitting in the Dis
trict branch of Police Court and
said the nature of the alleged
offenseS were such that they
should be tried in the United
States branch.
The ten defendants then filed
out and were taken before Judge
Isaac r. Hit in the other branch.
BriScOe Case First
The first case growing out Of
yesterdays demonstrations was
an assault charge against Miss
Edith Briscoe, 10.
Attorney Charles Ford, who is
representing all the Communists,
asked for a jury trial for Miss
BriScoe and her bond was set at
$500. It is the second charge of

he, thought the conference would
be all cleaned up and disbanded.
He expressed utmost confidence

would be negotiated on or before
that date.
The conference resumed its nor
NAL activities with a meeting of
two hours and 10 minutes be-
tween the heads of the five del
egations at st. James Palace.
AriStide BRAND, French foreign
minister, represented France in
the capacity of chief delegate,
and for the first time since the
parley convened on January 81,
this veteran of scores of inter-
national conferences was able to
speak out on behalf of his nation.
Previously he had been playing
second fiddle to Premier Andre
Tardieu.
Everyone Confident
The full meeting followed a
half-hour conversation between
BRAND and Macdonald, during
which the French Foreign min
