MARCUM TO HEAR
FATE TOMORROW
Penalty in Contempt Case Arising
From Divorce to Be
Fixed.

Philip H Marcum, special assistant
to the Attorney General, who was saved
from jail last Saturday when Chief JUS
tice Wheat decided the District Supreme
Court was without jurisdiction to COM
nit to Jail husband who failed to pay
an attorneys fee fixed in a final decree
for limited divorce, may yet find him
self behind prison bars.
Attorneys Dwight E. Rorer. and. Syril
Lawrence, representing Mrs. Maria s.
Narcun1. who was granted a limited
divorce and alimony by Justice Jesse G.
Adkins some months ago. called the at
tention of Chief Justice Wheat to the
failure of Marcum to keep up the all
mony payments fixed in the decree
Justice Wheat signed an order adjudg-
ing the Special Assistant Attorney Cen
eral in contempt of court for failure of
alimony payments.
As Marcum was not in court, the
question of the punishment was held in
allegiance until tomorrow morning.
Marcum recently filed an affidavit Of
pre- judice against Justice Jesse c. Ad-
kinS when the latter refused him an
extension of time to argue the rule to
show cause In an injunction suit which
he had brought against his wife. The
injunction suit was dismissed last Sat-
urday by Chief Justice Wheat at the
same time that he ruled on the inabil-
ity of the court to send husband to
jail for not paying his wife's counsel
fees

predicted that the number of persons

Mr.. Keech charged that the Mer-
chants 81 Manufacturers Association,
which opposes the fiat-rate cabs. Is made
up in part of persons who have a di-
rect interest in leSSening of compett-
ton for their particular outfits. He
said Presidents William F. Ham and
John H. Hanna of the Washington
Railway & Electric and Capital Trac-
ton Co.'S, respectively, are representa-
tlves Of the Merchants q Manufac-
turers' Association.
AS to the Board of Trade the
memorandum continued, sit is Signifl-
cant that the report rendered by the
Board of Trade to this commission was
that OF its Executive Committee, rather
than the total personnel of that or
ganlzation. Likewise, to my personal
knowledge at least two Of the Executive
Committee of that organization are
persons having q direct interest in
either the Washington Railway & Elec-
trio Co. or the Capital Traction Co.
That the voice Of the Board OF Trade,
Its general personnel, would be con-
trary to that expressed by its Executive
Committee is in my opinion subject to
little doubt, when the response to the
low-rate taXicabS by the general public
Is considered. The same may very
properly be said of the report of the
Washington Chamber OF Commerce. "

WOMAN'S REPORT
OF BEING SHOT ON
STREET D|SPROvED
Bullet Found Embedded in
Floor, but She Refuses
to Name AssaiIant.
SLIGHT WOUND GRAZES
MRS. BURNELL'S FACE
Twenty Year-0ld Wife of vir.
ginian Injured in Jefferson
Avenue House.

Mrs. Elsie Lee Burnelrs story of hav-
ing been shot while standing in the
5000 block of NJ street last night was
discredited today when police found a
38-cafiber bullet imbedded in the kitch-
en- floor OF the home of her 56-year- old
husbands nephew, w. T. Fisher, 1859
Jefferson avenue.
The bullet, police explained. lodged
in the floor after grazing Mrs. Burnell's
right cheek and infiicting a slight
wound.
Fisher, according to police, declared
he was playing cards next door at the
time of the shooting and did not learn
of it until he returned home some time
later.
Al though he said he did not hear the
report of a revolver, other residents of
the neighborhood told police they heard
q shot fired about 1890 pm.
The first tale told by Mrs. Burnell,
who is 20, was that she was standing
in front of 3028 M street, waiting for
her husband, Robert Henry Burnell;
who had gone to movie. She heard
the report of a gun, she said, and felt
singing sensation in her cheek.
She went to drug store at Thirty
first and NJ streets, where she was given
first aid, she said. There, she added,
she met her stepson, said to be about
her own age, and he took her to
Georgetown University Hospital.
After receiving treatment at the in
stitution, Mrs. Burnell was questioned
by seventh precinct police, who decided
to hold her for investigation. She was
taken to the House of Detention.
Her husband, arrested a short time
later, also was booked for investigation.
Her Stepson disappeared however. and
search for him was begun.
Questioned by Detective A. c. TolSon
of the seventh precinct, Mrs. Burnell
refused to reveal who shot her, assert
ing she did not care to prosecute the
guilty person.
Fisher told police he did not know
who was in his house with Mrs. Bur-
nell at the time of the shooting.
The Burnells, who live in Mclean,
Va, were visiting Fisher.

TAXI ZONES HELP
SAYS KEECH
Vigorous Defense Is Filed.
Special Interests Seen
in Opposition.

Peoples Counsel Richmond B. Keech
in a memorandum filed with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission today vigor-
ously defended the zone system of taxi
cab operation and recommended re-
tention of that system with the bound
aries of the zones definitely established
by order OF the Commissioners.
He said the fact the zone cabs have
taken away so many passengers from
the street car companies Is conclusive
evidence the cabs I'LL public need.
The zone system, he added, has never
had a fair chance to show its worth
since there have never been any def
mite boundary lines for the zones fixed
by the commission.
Asks Definite Lines.
Should the commission fix definite
zones and rates. he continued, both the
rate wars and the complaints Of pas
sengers that they have been over
charged by being carried over imag-
mary zone boundaries would be elm
mated
AT the same time Mr.. Keech launched
a counterattack on those who have at
tackled the zone system. He said op-
ponentS Of the system include only the
old line taxicab operators and street
car and bus companies.
Mr.. Keech then hkened the plight OF
the car companies TO that Of the steam
railroads who are facing competition
from airplane and bus travel. He said
the steam railroads are meeting the
competition by giving better and faster
service. electrihcation OF lines. and 50
forth, but that the street car and bus
companies have nothing similar to offer
in competition to the taxicabs. Com
petition. he held, is highly desirable
from the point Of view Of public in
terest
Should the commission order all cabs
to run on the meter system. Mr.. Keech
