GARAGE OWNER WINS
SUIT OVER OCCUPANCY
Appeals Court Upholds Injunction
to Prevent Revocation of Ger
tifcate in Residence Area.

The District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by Chief Justice Martin,
affirmed today the action of the Dis
trict Supreme Court in enjoining the
District of Columbia from revoking a
certificate of occupancy issued 70
Robert F. Cahill to use the first floor
Of premises at 1615-l617 o street as a
garage.
The building was erected in 1911 and,
although in a residential section, was
used as garage when purchased by
Cahill in March, 1926. He applied to
the building inspector for a permit to
fireproof and repair the premises and
for a certificate of occupancy of the
first floor as garage. The permit was
granted June 8, 1926, and Cahill spent
$4,000 in repairs and $135 for O drain
ing outlet and leased the garage for q
| term of five years.
On complaint of neighbors the Dis
trict Commissioners on January 81,
| 1927, notified Cahill the permit had
been issued under a mistake and should
be revoked. Cahill brought suit and
was granted an Injunction.

WAGE COMPLAINT
MADE ON BUILDER
Company Erecting School Refuses
to Give Union Pay,
Council Charges.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from the Washington Building
Trades Council complaint that a
builder erecting a Washington school
has refused to pay workman the
union scale required under the Commits
Sioner's Interpretation of the Bacon
Davis act. This act requires payment
Of the prevailing scale of wages" on
Government building contracts.
The workman in an affidavit stated
that when he refused to sign the pay
roll as having received the union scale
he was dismissed. The company, he
claimed, had paid him less than the
union scale, but presented pay roll on
which he was credited with the full
union scale for his signature.
Assistant Engineer Commissioner H
L. Robb said the company in question
had denied the wCrkman's charges, but
had declined to submit a denial under
oath. The matter has been referred to

FLYING OFFICIALS
TO FIGHT PILLARS
Conference Here May Start
Campaign for Regulation of
"NavigabIe Air Space"

Controversy over erection of the pro-
posed Columbia Island 200-foot granite
columns is expected to lead to Nation
wide campaign by aeronautical organi-
cations for Federal regulation Of "navi-
gable air space" similar to the regula-
ton Of navigable waters.
The campaign is to be launched early
in January during a three-day confer
Races at Miami. During this confer
ence the Nations airport managers and
aviation leaders are to devote one day
to the fight against the Columbia Is
land columns and to the necessity for
the proposed Federal legislation.
Pilots May Join Fight.
The fight against the columns also is
expected to enlist the support of scores
of the best pilots of the United States,
gathered for the Miami races, in view
Of the action last Friday of 40 local
transport pilots in signing a petition to
President Hoover against the construc-
ton of these hazards to transport fly
ing in the Capital
The three-day conference at Miami Is
to be attended by local aviation leaders
and representatives of airports and
transport lines from many parts of the
NOAAAIAS' hO bLlAo NOIl1ClCICE bllC
gle of the Washington Board of Trade
Aviation Committee and other aviation
interests here to block construction of
the columns and other hazards to
transport operations from Washington
Hoover Airport will be one of the most
important subjects for consideration.
Wynne Will Preside.
John S. Wynne, manager of Wash
ington- Hoover Airport, has been desig-
mated as presiding officer at the session.
Among the speakers is to be A. Pendle-
ton Taliaferro, jr., chief of the airports
section of the aeronautics branch, Com
merce Department. Lowell Harding, one
of the pioneers in transport flying in
the Capital, now a division traffic
manager for Eastern Air Transport, also
is expected to participate.
Mr.. Taliaferro's presence at the con-
ference is regarded as of great impor-
lance in view of the expressed opposi-
ton of the Commerce Department to
construction of the proposed columns,
which have been branded menaces to
the lives OF passengers and pilots.

Commercial Status Sought
by Owners of Property
West of Sixteenth.
APPELLATE TRIBUNAL
REVERSES LOWER COURT
Holds Points Raised, if Proved,
Tend to Show Value Impaired
and Land in Wrong Glass.

The District Court of Appeals today
directed District Supreme Court to
hear, on the merits of the case, a suit
brought by Henrietta B. Bugher and
others owning property on K street
just west of Sixteenth street, who have
been denied a commercial status for
the property by the District zoning
Commission.
In an opinion by Justice D. Law
renee Groner. the appellate court re-
verSed the action of the lower court,
which had dismissed the suit for an
injunction to restrain the coming body
from enforcing it's decision to hold the
property in the residential classification.
Case Remanded for Trial.
The action of the lower court was
held premature and the case was re-
manded for trial with the right to the
Zoning Commission to file answer to
the bill which the court was directed to
reinstate.
The lower court acted on the theory
that 1t lacked authority to interfere
with the exercise of discretion on the
part of an administrative body unless
such action was palpably arbitrary.
Justice Groner points out, however,
that the power of the Government, by
coming regulations, to interfere with
the general rights of the land owner
is not unlimited. Other questions aside,
the higher court holds, such restric-
ton as to the use of land cannot be
imposed if it does not bear substantial
relation to the public health, safety,
morals or general welfare, and that
finally determination of this question
is a duty which the court must dis
charge.
Allegations Analysed.
The bill alleges, the court points out,
that the rezoning of this property would
not affect the general scheme adopted
by the Zoning Commission or defeat
the plan to preserve Sixteenth street
as residential
1--WE have nothing before us from
which we may say that these allega-
tons are untrue" the opinion of JUS
tice Groner continues. I'm addition,
the bill charges facts which, If true,
tend to show that the property has
been rendered valueleSs and that it has
been placed in a class wholly different
from that of other like property in the
neighborhood and excluded from q
class to which alone 1t is adaptable"

By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS r4azz zs IS e APES

claws TO the injured organ and
thereafter Tanar directed all his
efforts toward placing further and
heavier blows upon those two bulg-
ing spots.
He struck again and landed
Clearly heavy blow upon one Of
them. With a shrek of pain the
creature stepped back and clamped
both paws to its hurt.
They were fighting very close to
where Stellara stood. The creatures
back was toward her and she could
have reached out and touched him,
so near was he to her. She saw
Tanar spring forward to strike
again.
The creature dropped back quite
abreast of her and then suddenly
lowering its head it gave vent to a
horrid shrek and charged the
Sarian with all the hideous ferocity
that it could gather.
1t seemed as though Il lad
mustered all its remaining vitality
and thrown it into this last, mad
charge. Tanar, his mind and muscles
co-ordinating perfectly, quick to see
openings and take advantage Of
them and equally quick to realize
the advantages of retreat, leaped
backward to avoid the mad charge
and the failing claws, but as ne
did so one Of his heels struck a low
bush and he fell heavily to the
ground upon his back.
For the moment he was helpless
and in that brief moment The
creature could be upon him with
these horrid fangs and ripping
claws.
Tanar knew it. The thing charg-
ing him knew it and Stellara
standing so close to them, knew it,
and so quickly did she act chat
Tanar had scarcely struck the
ground as she launched herself
bodily upon the charging monster
from behind.
AS football player hurls himself
to tackle an opponent, so Stellara
hurled herself at the creature. Her
arms encircled its knees and then
slipped down, as he kicked and
struggled to free himself, until
finally she secured a hold upon one
of his skinny ankles just above its
huge foot.
There she chung and the creature
lunged forward just short of Tanar
but instantly, with howl of rage
it turned to rend the girl. But that
brief instant of delay had been suf-
f1cient to permit Tanar to regain
his feet and ere ever the talons OF
fangs could sink into the soft flesh
OF Stellara. Tanar was upon the
creatures back. Fingers of steel
encircled its throat and though it
struggled and struck out with its
heavy claws it at least was helpless
in the clutches of the Sarian.
II
CLowLY, relentiessly, Tanar
~ cfloked the life from the
monster and then, with an express
sion of disgust, he cast the corpse
aside and stepped quickly to where
Stellara vas staggering weakly to
her feet.
He Tut his arm about her and for
a moment she buried her face in
his shoulder and Sohbed. do not
be afraid" he said; "the thing is
dead"
She raised her face toward his.
Let us go away from here" she
said. Il am afraid. There may be
more of the Buried People about.
There must be an entrance to their
underworld near here, for they do
not wander far from such openings. -

CHAPTER NINE

90 filed with fear was Stellara s
- tone that Tanar felt the hair
rise upon his scalp as he wheeled
about to face the thing that had
aroused her horror. But even had
he had time to conjure in his imagi-
nation a picture worthy of her
fright, he could not have imagined
a more fearsome or repulsive thing
than that which was advancing
upon them.
In conformation it was primarily
human, but there the similarity
ended. It had arms and legs and it
walked erect upon two feet; but
such feetl They were huge, fiat
thing with nailless toes short
stubby toes with webs between them.
It's arms we're short and in lieu
of fingers its hands were armed with
three heavy claws. Tt stood some
where in the neighbrhood of five
feet in height and there was not a
vestige of hair upon it's entire naked
body, the skin Of which was Of the
sickly pallor of a corpse.
But these attributes lent to it a
fraction of its repulsiveness-it was
it's head and face that were appal-
ling. It had no external ears, there
being only two small orifices on
either side of its head where these
organs ordinarily are located. Its
mouth was large, with loose, fabby
lips that were drawn back now in
n snarl that exposed two rows. of
heavy fangs.
Two small openings above the
center of the mouth marked the
spot where a nose should have been
and, to add further to the hideous-
ness of its appearance, it was eye
less, unless bullying protuberances
forcing out the skin where the eyes
should have been might be called
eyes.
Here the skin upon the face
moved as though great, round eyes
we're rolling beneath. The hideous-
ness of that blank face without
cyeliGs. lashes or eyebrows shocked
even the calm and steady nerves OF
Tanar.
The creature carried no weapons,
nut what need had ii for weapons
