POLICE POWERLESS
ON VIRGINIA TRACT
Bride Holds D. c. Officers Are
Without Authority Over
Bridge Approach.

Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride yesterday submitted an opinion
to the District Commissioners holding
the Metropolitan Police Department has
no power to make arrests in flve-acre
tract of land on the Virginia side of
the Key Bridge, acquired by the Fed
eral Government when it began con-
struction of the bridge.
Jurisdiction and control over the
bridge and approaches was lodged in
the District Commissioners by act of
Congress in 1923. 1t is admitted the
District boundaries extend TO the high
water mark on the Virginia shore of
the Potomac, but the exact line through
this strip never has been officially set
tied. At least go per cent of the tract
however. is said to lie beyond the high
water mark.
A previous act of Congress provided
jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police
Department should be co-eXtensive with
the boundaries OF the District. Never
theless many arrests have been made
by District policemen within the area
mentioned.
In the case of Ernest C. Shockey,
arrested there November !, 1890. Jus
tice Wendell P. Stafford discharged the
petitioner in a habeas corpus proceeding
on the ground the arresting officer was
without authority to take Shockey into
custody.
Since then there has been consider
able correspondence between the Dis
trict and Federal governments as to
which had control over the strip. Now
that the District has ruled itself out,
the matter OF policing the area will
probably be left up to the Federal Gov
eminent.

REPORT OF 10 DEATHS
IN CAVE-IN is FALSE
Workman Sprained Back in Fall,
but Ambulance Call Brings
Police and Rescue Squad.

A false report that 10 men had been
buried alive when building caved in
at Fortieth and Calvert streets today
attracted three automobiles full of
policemen, the fire rescue squad, a corps
of newspaper reporters and photogra-
pliers and a large crowd of curiosity
seekers to the scene. 1t developed,
however, that workman on a building
under construction had fallen from a
Scaffold and Sprained his back.
Officers investigating the death of an
automobile driver on Davis street near
Wisconsin avenue were ordered to drop
their inquiry and hasten to the Ben
jamin Stoddart School, being erected
at Fortieth and Calvert streets. Other
policemen in all parts of the seventh
precinct also were ordered to the scene,
as was the rescue squad.
James Di Stetano, 80, of Alb Sixth
street, at work on the project, had lost
his balance and fallen from scaffold
on the school. Fellow employees tele-
phoned for an ambulance, explaining
the nature of the accident. but some
how or other the false report that 10
men had been killed in a cave-in got
out.
Despite the fact Ii Stefano an
peared to be only slightly injured, the
rescue squad took him to Georgetown
Hospital.

SCHOOL
SITE HIT BY NYE
North Dakotan Holds seth
and Fessenden Streets Is
Undesirable Location.

Discussing the problem Of location
for a new grade school and a proposed
senior high school in the area west of
Connecticut avenue, near the Reno sec
ton. where he resides, Senator Nye
Republican, Of North Dakota, expressed
the view today that an elementary
school should not be placed on the
Thirty-ninth and Fessenden street site
Senator Nye said his opinion was that
another grade school at Thirty-ninth
and FeSSenden streets would be too close
to the new Murch School. In this
connection, he said, the carrying out
of the contemplated Reno park and
recreation center in that vicinity would
mean that no additional residences
would go up in the space between the
Murch School and the Thirty-ninth
and FeSSenden street location.
With regard to location Of the high
school. Senator Nye said those who
thought the grade school should not
60 at Thirty-ninth and Fessenden
streets felt that if that site is to be
used for some school purpose, the high
school would be the most preferable.
Commenting on reports that an agree
ment had been reached with Engineer
Commissioner Gotwals regarding the
question. Senator Nye said:
There was pretty thorough under
standing that no grade school would be
built there, but there was no mysteri-
Gus agreement about it,
The Senator said he has not heard
what the decision Of the District au-
thorities is to be regarding the placing
of the schools. There are two other
suggested sites for the high school I'M
der consideration in the direction of
the recreation center.
Referring to the grade school prob
lem, Senator Nye said his viewpoint
was not SO much one of where it
should be placed, but of where it should
not be.

When he got into the terminal build

PRESSED BY COMMITTEE
Inclusion of Convenience for U. S.
Workers Still Urged-salary
Revision Bill Approved.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts has reported to the
Executive Council of the Federal Bar
Association that great difficulty" might
be encountered in attempting to obtain
parking space for employees in the Gov
eminent building projects because Of
President Hoover's economy program.
One member of Congress was quoted
at the council meeting Thursday eve
ming as saying there was no reason
for the Government employees to ride
to work in their own cars and that
they had no business having cars any
way"
A committee. of which Charles B.
Lingamfelter of the General Counsel'S
Office, Internal Revenue Bureau is
chairman, was instructed nevertheless
to continue its efforts to have space set
aside.
Salary Bill Favored.
A favorable report on the Bureau of
Ef1ciency's bill to revise the present
classification law regulating Govern
ment salaries was made by Charles w.
Flora of the General Accounting ONCE,
chairman of a committee appointed TO
study the measure.
Discussing proposals to cut salaries
of Federal employees, 1t was pointed out
by members of the executive council
that pay in the professional service
never has been raised to the level of
salaries received outside the Govern
ment. Edwin A. Mess. chairman of
the Legislation Committee, was in
structed to prepare statement of rea-
sons in opposition to the proposed
slashes.

$4,000 Judgment
To Dancer at Fox
Is Held Excessive
Too Much for Loss of Two
Toes, Says Proctor.
Retrial Granted.

Declaring the verdict grossly ex-
cessive," Justice James M. Proctor of
the District Supreme Court today set
aside a verdict for $4,000 damages
awarded last Spring by a jury against
the Fox Theaters Corporation in favor
Of Alberto K. Ferreyros, a professional
dancer, who lost two toes when he
was caught in the mechanism Of a
stage elevator in the local Fox Thea
ter. He directed a new trial Of the
case.
Justice Proctor said: II have given
long and careful consideration to the
matters arising on the motion for a
new trial. especially as to the amount
of damages, which, it is contended, is
grossly excessive, indicating that the
jury. in arriving at the award, was in
fiuenced by sympathy or prejudice.
Loath as 1 am to set aside a verdict
upon this ground, I feel bound TO do
so, in view of my settled conviction that
the verdict is grossly excessive. Ac-
cordingly, the motion for a new trial
will be granted"
A feature of the trial was the pres
entation by the defendant of a motion
picture showing the dancer performing
after he claimed to have been incapaci-
tated by the accident Justice Proctor
and the jury adjourned to one of the
film centers TO view the exhibition.
Attorneys Brandenbcrg e. Brandon
berg and Louis DENT appeared for the
defendant and asked for the new trial.

Two virtually blind" landings, one
at Camden and the other at Newark.
were made last night by Pilot w. l..
Jameson, airmail pilot for the Eastern
Air Transport on the run through the
National Capital. Both landings were
made in fog so thick the pilot could
not see more than 10 feet in any
direction.
Leaving Boiling Field at $40 o'clock
this morning. Jameson ran into heavy
fog soon after leaving Baltimore and
was guided by the radio beam into
Camden, the Philadelphia terminal.
All trace of the ground was blotted
out by the time Jameson reached Cam
oen and he was forced to locate the
airport by judging his position from
the radio beacon station and by dead
reckoning.
Estimating as we'll as he could the
position of the airport, he began set
Ting down through the fog toward the
ground. ANY miscalculation on his part
