NAVY LAW STUDENTS
TO ATTEND HARVARD
Ten Now Taking Course Will Be
Last to Study in Capital Uni
versities.

The Navy has adopted a policy for
the present, it was learned today, OF
sending all it's law students to the law
school of Harvard University, instead
OF permitting them to enroll in the Ma
tional Capital.
Oficials of the Judge Advocate Cen
erals Office said today that the 10
officers of the Navy and Marine Corps
who are under instruction in law at
George Washington University here
will complete their courses in Wash
ington. Officers have had the option of
choosing George Washington or George
town.
Under the new policy, the officers
will spend their whole time studying
law, as is the case in other post-gradu-
ate courses to which naval officers are
sent. Heretofore, oflcers have gone
either to day or night school in Wash
ington, working part time in the Office
of the Judge Advocate General. There
has been criticism throughout the serv-
ice, it was learned, because law student
officers were reviewing courts-martial,
but now the Navy plans to have only
graduates do this work in Washington.

ANSWERS CHARGE
OF LABOR UNION
SearS-R0 Official Hits
Accusations Made Against
D. c. Projects.

Answering the charge made at meet
ing Of the Central Labor Union last
night that Sears, Roebuck g. Co. was
planning to adopt anti-union methods
in construction work in the Capital
Theodore J. Morgan, manager of the
local home construction division of the
firm, stated today that it is set policy
Of Sears, Roebuck e. Co. to employ all
local labor for actual construction proc
sSses in any community, supervising and
engineering the work with their own
personnel.
The home construction division of
Sears, Rcebuck, which has no direct
connection with the retail store here,
makes no exception to the regulation
concerning the use of local labor. and
none whatever is imported, Mr.. Morgan
stated.
The charge made by the union that
the building firm was endeavoring to
interest local bankers in financing
their plan was denied by Mr.. Morgan.
He said that Sos, 900, 900 resources Of
Sears, Roebuck 81 Co. provided the
backing for the 15-year plan Of financ-
ing adopted by the firm.
Union Meeting Protests.
The Central Labor Union, in charg-
ing the concern with planning to en-
ploy non-urion labor exclusively on a
house building program in Washing
ton, adopted a resolution vigorously
protesting such a plan. The union,
which met in the Typographical
Temple, also accused the building COM
pany of planning to bring so-called
"knocked-down" type houses into the
city and set them up with factory
crews.
In connection with the latter charge
Mr. Morgan said today that Sears, Roe
buck g. Co. never had and did not plan
to build "knocked-down" type houses.
Charles Young, secretary of the
Washington Building Trades Council,
declared at the union meeting last
night that Sears, Roebuck & Co. had
refused to commit themselves to the
use of union labor in connection with
their building activities here.
Union Labor Used at Store.
Asked concerning the employment of
union help, Mr.. Morgan said that union
labor had been used exclusively in the
construction of the Sears, Roebuck
store building on Bladensburg road
northeast last year. He said number
of other local jobs now being handled
by the concern were employing local
union labor.
Secretary of Labor Doak's recent rul-
ing establishing the prevailing wage for
painters at $11 per day was Endorsed by
the labor union last night.
A committee of the union reported
that the 500 900 monument to be erect
ed at Tenth street and Massachusetts,
avenue in honor of Samuel GomperS
would be dedicated on Labor day, 1882.

With seven OF the nine Board Of
Education members definitely approving,
the transfer of the Smallwood School,

to colored divisions, will go into effect
with the opening of the schools next

pupils rather than the Greenleaf School,

west, which first was proposed for the
transfer.
The two board me nbers who have
not yet been heard from on the poll
taken by mail are Rabbi Abram Simon

replies are expected soon, although such
a majority favors the transfer the re-
plies viii not affect the decision.

HOOVER MAY DELAY
NAMING OF JUSTICE
SiddonS' Successor Choice Is
Likely to Be Held Up Until
Late in Fall.

President Hoover is likely to post
pone appointment of a successor to the
late Justice Frederick l.. SiddonS of the
District Supreme Court until the Sem
ate is again in session or at least late
in the Fall, 1t was learned today.
Although a score or more names
have been suggested for the appoint
ment, it Is known the President has
given little thought to the matter as yet
and that he sees no occasion for any
haste.
The names Of the various aSpirants
for the bench have been sent by the
President to Attorney General Mitchell
for investigation and consideration, and
it is probable the appointment Will
hinge upon the recommendation Of the
cabinet officer.
The Attorney General has given some
study to the papers in the cases Of the
respective candidates, but he has not
reached the point where he is ready
to make any recommendation. Mr..
Mitchell now is away from Washington

D. c. MAN JAILED
IN PENNSYLVANIA AUTO CRASH
A. A A. Balls Out Driver Held, as Suit Is Filed, Under
Century-Old Law.

The Pennsylvania law in the case
of damage suits brought against nom
residents provides that the court may
order the arrest of the defendant and
force him to post bail guaranteeing his
appearance in court. In Coakley's case,
he offered to put UP his automobile,
but this was refused and he was not
released until the A. A. A. came TO his
aid
In Q letter to Gov Pinchot, Ernest
N. Smith of the motoring association
characterized the law as IAN amazing
example of legislation that serves to
create disrespect for all law and savorS
of oppression as outrageous as the old
debt laws of England.
1T is apparent that the ancient
statute involved can be used TO hold in
prison a visitor in Pennsylvania until
he can be coerced into an agreement
To pay civil damages in an instance
where his liability Is doubtful, or until
bond is furnished to guarantee his
presence in court or the payment OF
any judgment that might legally be
rendered against him"
Smith urged Pinchot to "ad2oeaIe
that the law be stricken from the
Pennsylvania statutes ct the earliest
possible moment"
