JUDGE PLACES LIFE
BEFORE LOCALITIES
Releases Man From Jail for Fail
ure to Pay Breach of Promise
Judgment.
BY the Associated Prees

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 49, Waen a
human hfe is at stake, Justice william
Collins ruled today, a court should Lot
strain at legal niceties."
So he released Samuel Aron Of Fort
Worth, Tex from the county Jail where
the 72-year-old man had spent 1913 days
for failure to pay $1,000 breach of
promise judgment.
Aron petitioned for his freedom on
the ground he had no money, and was
likely to die in his cell.
/ He set forth, when he appeared him
self in court yesterday, that he had
lost the sight Of one eye and was suffer-
ing from stomach ulcers, lung and heart
trouble and insomnia.
Il am not willing to hold that the
court has power to incarcerate a judg-
ment-debtor but no power to release
him." said Justice Collins in his ruling
I'm any event. I am unwilling to
strain at legal niceties when a human
life Is at stake. To continue the
defendants confinement would serve
no good purpose. The law is not so
vindictive.
Miss Ethel Wintner, who charged
Aron had broken promise to wed her,
obtained the Judgment against him here
IN 1922. Last March the aged man
came to New York for medical treat
ment and she had him imprisoned.

CONGRESS GROUPS
WILL PUSH PROBES
Inquiries to Be Made Into
More Than Dozen Subjects
in Adjournment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite adjournment Congress will
continue a wide variety of activities of
investigatory nature pending its next
assemblage. Both Senate and House
regular and special committees will press
inquiries into a dozen or mere different
subjects.
On the Senate side a subcommittee
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
under authority of the Borah resolution
; adopted yesterday, will investigate the
st. Lawrence waterway and pov, =
treaty. 1t is possible that Gcv. Franklin
D. Roosevelt of New York, Democratic
nominee for President, and a critic of
the manner in which the pact has been
negotiated without prior agreement be-
tween the Federal Government and New
York State, may be invited to be a wit
ness.
StimsOn Welcomes Probe.
Henry L. Stimson. Secretary of State,
welcomed instead of viewing with sus-
picion the proposed inquiry into the
treaty. He said that Senator Borah had
spoken beforehand with the department
| about the investigation. Mr.. Stimson
declared the inquiry would present q
good opportunity 10 bring out sentiment
in respect to the waterway and would
afford a chance for all parties TO have
a hearing. It was up to the committee
to decide whether open hearings should
be held he added.
The Senate Banking and Currency
Committee also has authority to con-
tinue its inquiry into the New York
Stock Exchange activities, but no hear
| ings are forecast during the Summer
although investigators for the commit
tee may continue to work The COM
nhttee will be clothed with recently
| added authority to look into tax returns
so far as Stock Exchange activities may
/ be connected with them.
Another Senate committee under the
Couzens resolution will scrutinize the
| loans of the Reconstruction Corpora
ton. The Farm Board. its policies and
loans, will be the subject Of still an
other inquiry.
Will Probe Campaign Funds.
The House as well as the Senate will
have campaign fund investigating
committee. The two chambers will also
be represented in joint committee tc
! investigate the Veterans Administration
to determine where further economies
| in benefits to veterans may be effected
This inquiry is an outgrowth Of the re-
fusal Of Congress TO make substantial
reductions at present in the appropria
tions for the Veterans Administration
| despite recommendations of the special
economy committees
Another House investigation con-
Quoted by the so-called Shannon Com
mittee will continue an inquiry into
| Government competition with private
| business. The House Interstate Com
merce Committee will continue an in
| vestigation of utility holding companies
j Post office leases will be the subject oi
delving by the House Post Office Gem
mittee. A subcommittee of the House
Ways and Means Committee will study

Senators file out of the legislative ranks

considerably worried over remaining
preliminary as well as final votes.
Most of them worked hard Dr.
George Calver House physician, blamed
several deaths on overwork and pleaded
with members to slow down. The end
of the Seventy-second Congress itself
doesn't come until March 4, 1888, but
the mortality rate among the 435 Rep
resentatives and 96 Senators already
approaches a record.
Those who do continue to serve
though, will draw 10 per cent less
pay, a cut they voted for themselves
in the economy campaign. President
Hoover, whose salary could not be re-
duced by Congress, Just Friday an
nounced he would return $4,000 OF
his $4,000 to the Treasury. He ruled
that cabinet members should take Is
per cent less, along with the Speaker
and Vice President.

The Seventy-second Congress, reach
| ing the end of its seven-month long
session. yesterday rounded out an un-
| paralleled record of peace-time legisla-
tive achievement.
From its start last December troubled
times directed the congressional course
and with but two important exceptions
they dictated every major act written
into the statutes. A giant emergency
program for relief, national and inter-
national, to meet exigencies Of world
economic disturbance hkened to war,
was the sessions chief contribution to
history.
In the main the program thus
wrought was q bipartisan one advanced
by the President, Herbert Hoover. Il
was enacted by coalition effort which
confounded forecasters who had seen
in the even political balance Of both
House and Senate between Republicans
and Democrats nothing but promise OF
chaos. The -partisanship displayed
did not until late in the session give way
on any great scale to political action
and even this was not in the end
allowed to block the reccnstructive
achievement.
Budget Balance Sought.
The Congress opened wide the ma
tional purse to relieve industrial, finan-
cial, agricultural and human distress
simultaneously it reduced appropria-
tions in an amount estimated by its
leaders at in excess of 81 100000
from the year before, roughly one-fifth
of that total.
Scored indelibly in the record Of the
session were the budget balancing en-
deavors that reached out to gather
more than a billion dollars in new
taxes and which cut, the while, this
huge slice off the Governments cost.
Throughout, Congress was troubled
by proposals for abandoning the IA
miliar road of financial practice in
ton on a Millionaire scale. These eli

World War. clamoring for an immedi-
ate payment of $2,400,000, 900, the yet
unpaid and not due balances of the
compensation certificates given them
for military service.
Senate Crushes Bonus.
Though the bonus seekers clung on
to the final day, though their proposal
swept through the House on over
whelming vote, it was crushed by the
Senate. In some such manner each OF
the less conservative plans was dropped
by the wayside.
The demand for relaxation or repeal
of prohibition, risen to new heights
! logged the Congress steps. Liquor
proposals Of wide diversity came up
time and again. but though their
sponsors showed gains. not one of their
measures passed either house. The

of the House, which had been
alternately meeting and recessing
all afternoon, had ham and eggs
during one of the recesses.
That was the extent Of the

CITIZENS TAXI STAND
Says Patrick Should Be Told Con-

Return of Meters.

The protest of a number of citizens
associations against the Public Utilities
Commission edict that taxicabs should
be equipped with meters received vigor-
GUS support in the House yesterday from
Representative Thomas L. Blanton,
Democrat, of Texas, who said, in part:
During this year our people back
home in large numbers are expecting
to come to Washington. You can get
in a taXicab now and ride anywhere in
this city for 20 cents. Because of the
influence of the electric railway system
in Washington and the bus lines in
Washington, the Public Utilities Com
mission, which just now is composed
of one man, has been prevailed upon to
order that all of these 20-cent taxicabs
be taken off the streets of Washington
and taxicabs be put upon meter basis -
Gen. Patrick is the man who has
ordered those taXicabs back to the meter
system" he declared. L think I speak
the sentiments of the members on the
other side of this Capitol, as well as the
members of the House, when I say we
should give Gen. Patrick to understand
Congress is not going to stand for re-
turning to the meter system"

DELIVERED BY DR.. LOWE
Customs of Utes and Piutes in
Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and
Wyoming Described.

DR.. Robert H. LOWE, head Of the
division of anthropology and psychology
of the National Research Council, Tues
day night delivered the second OF a
series of public lectures on the North
American Indians, under the auspices
of the Anthropological Society of Wash
ington, at the National Museum.
DR.. Lowie described the customs of
the Shoshonean tribes of the Great
Basin area, the best known of which
are the Utes and Piutes. The Sho-
shonean peoples inhabit the larger part
of the mountainous region comprising
Eastern oregon, Idaho, Nevada and
Wyoming.
The Indians, it was pointed out, are
among the most difficult of all the
American tribes to study. They are
extremely reticent and among the
northern Utes there is feeling of
hostility against white men in general,
due to memories of pioneer days.

THIRD Of CLERKS
DRIVE OWN AUTOS
Survey of 1856 in Commerce
Department Gives Picture
of Future Problem.

Nearly ne-third of the employees OF
the Department Of Commerce ride to
and from work in private automobiles,
according to a recent transportation
survey by the Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, the results Of which were
announced yesterday by Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer.
The survey also showed that nearly
another third used public vehicles, and
that a surprisingly large numper WaIAeu
to and from work.
The survey was made at the direction
of Mr. Van Duzer in an effort to pre-
determine the traffic problems that Will
arise in the Federal triangle area south
of PENNSYLVANIA avenue upon compile
ton of the gigantic building program.
The information was disclosed in queS-
tionnaires distributed to Commerce De
partment employees and returned by
1886.
Checks Route Followed.
Not only did Mr.. Van Duzer seek to
ascertain the medium of transportation
used by the employees, but the routes
followed by those in private cars IN
going to and from work. The data
furnished him an insight into the park
ing problem in the vicinity of the new
Commerce Department Building and
conditions to be expected when all OF
the new Government buildings are oc-
cupied
Mr.. Van Duzer said the survey re-
vealed two surprising features-the
small number of employees who are reg
ularly using the cheap-rate taXicabs
and the large number who are riding
on street cars. The statistics showed
that only 20 depended on taxicabs for
transportation and that l,l50 used
street cars. This information has been
turned over to the car companies.
1,345 Use Private Autos.
OF the 1886 employees who replied to
the QUESTIONABLE, 1,345 use private
automobiles for transportation, 500 ride
on cars of the Washington Railway &
Electric Co. SO in buses of the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Co., "a in busses
of the Alexandria, Bancroft & Wash
ington Co., in cars of the Baltimore &
Annapolis Electric Line, in cars Of the
Arlington g. Fairfax Railway 2 in
buses in the Washington Marlboro &
Annapolis Line and IL on trains. Two
of the employees who answered the ques-
tionnaire failed to indicate the type of
transportation used
Data in connection with the routes
followed by the l,345 employees using
private cars showed that Nineteenth,
Twentieth and Twenty-flrSt streets,
Connecticut avenue, Fourteenth and
Twelfth streets carried the greatest
volume of the north-and-south traffic,
and Pennsylvania avenue the heaviest
east-and- west movement. 1t also dis
closed that 81 of the employees in pri-
vate cars cross Key Bridge and So the
Highway Bridge.
