Hull Declares Measure Legal
ICES Monopoly Vio-
IationS.
P0UNDMASTER SALARY
RAISE GIVEN APPROVAL
Railway Express Agency Asks
Firearms Bill Amendment, Claim
ing Bonding Burden.

The House District committee by o
vote Of 9 to today favorably reported
the Mcleod bill, giving police authority
to the pound master and increasing his
salary from $2,250 to $1,000.
After considering amendments rec
commended by the Stalker subcommit-
tee to the Mcleod bill requiring proof
of ability to respond in damages for
injuries caused by the operation of
motor vehicles, the committee deferred
action, because various members de-
sired to offer further amendments de-
signed to protect the interests Of OUT
side tourists who might be In q COLI
sion here.
Further consideration of the street
railway merger bill was definitely post
poned until Thursday, May 8, when 1t
Will be the exclusive order of business.
Comment by various members of the
committee showed a disposition to allow
the street-railway merger legislation to
hang fire indefinitely, and the prediction
was made that no action would be taken
at the present session.
Representative Hull of Wisconsin laid
before the committee a prepared state
ment questioning whether Congress
after having passed laws against the
proposed monopolization of public utfli-
ties in the District by limiting the
amount Of stock which can be held In
public utilities by competing or holding
companies to 20 per cent of such stock,
and after such laws apparently have
been wilfully and hagrantly violated,
will now willingly approve Of what
seems to have been done Illegally by
enacting special measure giving sane
| ton to all that has been done, and per-
hitting unlimited stock and bond pro-
| motion Hereunder"
An amendment to the firearms bill
now pending on the House calendar was
| suggested to the committee by j. Cole
| Greenway, an attorney representing the
Railway Express Agency, asking that
| the express companies be excluded from
the provisions Of the bill on the ground
that this legislation would place q
heavy bonding burden upon them.

MAN, TRIED HERE BY IL JURORS,
IS FIRST TO ILLUSTRATE RULE
United States Branch of Police Court
Takes Advantage of Recent Decision
by Supreme Tribunal.

"In Affirming the power of the de-
PENDANT" said Justice Sutherland, "in
any criminal case to waive a trial by
a constitutional jury and submit to
trial by jury of less than IL persons, or
by the court, we do not mean to hold
that the waiver must be put into effect
at all events. Trial by jury is the
normal and with occasional exceptions
the preferable mode Of disposing of is
sues of fact in criminal cases above the
grade of petty offenSes. In such cases
the value and appropriateness of jury
trial have been established by long ex-
perience and are not now to be denied.
Not only must the right of the accused
to a trial by a constitutional jury be
jealousy preserved, but the main
tenance of the jury as a fact finding
body in criminal cases is of such i'm
portance and has such place in our
traditions, that, before any waiver can
become effective the consent of Gov
eminent counsel and the sanction of
the court must be had, in addition to
the express and intelligent consent of
the defendant"

BRITTANY STORM
TOLL MAY Be 500
az Ships Are Still Missing
After Furious Hurricane
September 1920.
BY Radio to The Star.

PARIS, France, October 3.-The
fishing feet from Brittany suffered an
unprecedented disaster during the tragic
night of September 1920, as the death
toll of the furious hurricane which
swept the coasts of South Brittany is
believed will be at least 200 fishermen
and may reach 800.
AS the crippled ships were coming
back to their ports slowly, it was i'm
possible SO far to give an accurate
account Of the sufferings, but now it
must be admitted that, Is days after
the fury, all the boats which escaped
have returned and AZ ships, with about
300 men aboard, are still missing.
Already the death roll of the ships
which returned is As men. leaving 80
widows and 80 orphans. To this group
of men lost at sea" it will probably
be necessary to add some day 200 or
300 others Adding to this total the
little orphans and widows left in a
state of extreme distress, the tragedy
directly touches about 500 persons.
The extent of the disaster proves the
strength of the storm, which swept the
coasts without any warning. funny
fishing ships are small but sturdy craft
They can resist the stormiest seas as
long as they have their sails, but as
soon as their sails are destroyed they
can easily be overturned by waves.
The crews fought against the gale
with traditional courage of Breton sea-
men and many unbelievable acts of
heroism have been reported, but death
and misery once more have entered the
modest little homes of too many of
these unknown heroes.
