40-YEAR-0 WILL
UPHELD BY COURT
District Appeals Justices Sustain
Testament Made by Pierce
Shoemaker.

The will of Pierce Shoemaker, owner
of large real estate holdings who died
more than 40 years ago, was sustained
today by the District Court of Appeals
in an opinion by Justice Josiah A. Van
Orsdel. Justice D. Lawrence Groner
diSsented on the theory a portion of
the will violated the rule against per-
petuities.
The majority opinion affirmed the
decision Of the District Supreme Court,
which held the trustees under the will
were not empowered to make distribu-
tion in kind of the real estate, but
must sell the property and distribute
the proceeds among Francis D. Shoe
maker, Clara A. Newmana nd Abigail
c. Newman, or their issue, and that
on failure of issue the share should
go to the surviving beneficiaries as
though the dead person had never been
q neficiarv.
--Cuis P. Shoemaker, another son of
Pierce Shoemaker, died leaving only
one child, Abner c. P. Shoemaker, who
also died, leaving his entire estate to
an adopted son, Louis G. Gardiner.
The lower court excluded Gardiner
from participation in the distributor
OF the proceeds Of sale, and this action
was affirmed by the majority opinion.
Justice Groner in his dissenting opin-
ion concurred in the view Of the ma
Jorlty opinion that the four children
the three distributes and Louis P
Shoemaker, since deceased-took a vest
ed estate. However he held the limita-
tlon Of the will TO the issue of any
child violates the rule against per-
petultles. The decree of the lower court
should have been reversed, he held.

VIRGINIA BUS LINE
TRANSFERS STUDIED
Means of Removing Discrimination
Considered at Traction Con-
ference Here.

Means Of removing discrimination in
transfer charges between buSses of the
Alexandria, Bancroft and Washington
Rapid Transit Co. and street cars of the
Capital Traction Co we're discussed to-
day at a public hearing before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The problem became acute when
street car service was suspended on the
Mount Vernon, Alxandria & Washing
ton Railway and bus operation substi-
tuted. An unauthorized practice of
charging 5 cents for bus fare within
the District on the A, B. & w. lines
has been in existence for some years,
and when the transfer arrangements
were taken over by the busses it be-
came possible to ride from the Bureau
of Engraving to most places on the
Capital Traction lines for 6 CENTS
cents bus fare and l cent transfer.
This was opposed by the Washington
Railway & Electric Co., which runs
street car service to the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing.
At the hearing today both the Capital
Traction Co. and the Washington Rail-
way & Electric Co. objected to the g.
cent arrangement, and r. L. May, owner
of the A, B. & w, said he was willing
to abandon 1t.

METER FIGHT LOST
BY TAXI COMPANIES
Bell and City Cab Lines De-
MED Rehearing on Order
of Commission.

District Supreme Court Justice Jesse
c. Adkins today denied petitions of
the City Cab Co. and the Bell Cab
Co. for rehearing of his recent deci-
sion upholding the validity of the or
der of the Public Utilities Commission
requiring the installation of meters
on all taXicabs.
The court also denied a similar ap-
pHcatlon by Richmond B. Keech, Peo-
pies Counsel, who pointed out the re-
suit In Baltimore of a similar ruling
tnere, which had the effect, he claimed,
OF throwing out of employment large
number of men.
Justice Adkins set tomorrow after
noon Tor a hearing on the matter of the
form OF his decree and on the question
OF allowing supersedeas bond to be
given by the cab companies to stay the
operation Of the order pending a de-
clSlon OF the District Court of Appeals.
In denying the application the court
repeated what he said in his opinion
that he hoped no person would be
thrcWn out Of work; but could not per-
mt that consideration to weigh against
MS judgment. and that if the order is
reasonable 1t is his duty to say SO.

SENATE TO DECIDE
FATE Of FEDERAL
BUILDING MEASURE
viii Be Asked Whether 1t
Wants 10 Per Cent Cut
From Appropriations.
BILL INCLUDES FUNDS .
FOR PROGRAM IN CITY
Senator Mcclellan to Be Asked to
Make Motion at Open
Session.

The Senate will be asked today or
tomorrow to decide whether 1t wants
the Appropriations Committee to cut
the Treasury-Post Office appropriation
bill 10 Eer cent below the House total,
as was done in the case Of the Inte-
rior Department and in the State,
Justice Commerce and Labor bill.
The settlement of this question on
the Treasury Post Office bill is of spe-
cial interest in Washington because this
is the bill which carries the funds for
continuing the Federal building pro-
gram. both here and throughout the
country.
Discuss Agriculture Bill.
The Appropriations Committee. at
special meeting today, also discussed
what should be done regarding the
Agricultural appropriation bill, which
passed the Senate and went to con-
ference before the Senate began adopt
ing the motions of Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Tennessee, calling for 10
per cent cuts in other appropriation
bills
Following the meeting Chairman
Jones said it was decided to have Sena-
tor Mcclellan make his 10 per cent re-
duction motion in the Senate regard
ing the Treasury-Post Office bill. Re-
garding Agriculture. Senator Jones said
he would confer with Senator McNary,
Republican. Of Oregon to decide what
course to follow on that bill, inaSmuch
as it has reached the final stages of
conference.
Indications were the first step neces
sary in order to apply the 10 per cent
cut to that bill would be to reject the
report of the conferees and bring the
bill back before the Senate.
Hearings Completed.
i The Senate subcommittee has COM
pieted executive hearings on the Treas
ury-Post Office bill, and is ready to be-
gin marking up Senate changes as soon
as the Senate indicates its will regard
ing the 10 per cent cut proposal. As
passed by the House, this bill contains
100000, 900 for carrying on the public
building program, of which not to ex-
ceed $15,000,0o0 could be spent on the
new Federal buildings in Washington.
1t is PROBABLE the Senate will decide
late today whether this bill is to be
cut ON the 10 per cent basis.
The Appropriations Committee it was
learned, did not attempt today to lay
down a policy regarding reductions on
other appropriations that have not yet
come to the Senate from the House.

elusive and mysterious "sniper-bandit"
