D, c. BOUNDARY BILL
WILL BE HEARD SOON
Representative Sees Little 0ppo-
sition to Measure-Committee
Hearing Thursday,

Hearings will be held next Thursday
before the House Judiciary Committee
on the bill sponsored by Representative
Smith of Virginia for appointment OF
a commission to fix the boundary line
of the National Capital on the Virginia
bank of the Potomac River
This bill was before Congress in the
last Congress in different form and
provoked considerable discussion in
volving claims for some of the right
of way over which the Mount Vernon
Boulevard has been built.
Most of the controversial matter has
been taken out of the bill and Repre-
sentative Smith protested last night
that there will not be much opposition.
The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission will attend the hear
ing and support the bill, he said.
This measure calls for appointment
of a commission of three members to
fix the boundary line-one to be ap-
pointed by the President, one by the
Governor of Virginia and the third
member to be selected by these two.
Their decision would have to be rati-
fled by Congress and by the Virginia
State Legislature. 1t does not determine
any property rights, but does authorize
the commission to go into the prop
erty rights and recommend to Congress
how they should be settled. The previ-
GUS bill sought to quit claim for land
occupied over the statutory period-but
the present bill does not attempt this.

COURTS TO DECIDE
DRY LAW VALIDITY
Decisions Expected This
Week in Cases Brought
After Repeal.

The District probably will learn this
week whether it has been observing
q dead" law since early December
Two Police Court judges, who have
pending before them liquor cases in
which the defense attorneys contend
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
abolished the Volstead act in the Dis
trict as well as the rest Of the country,
are expected to render decisions.
If it Is decided the Volstead law con-
tinued in effect here after liquor began
to flow in the States, the defendants
will be sentenced as if the Volstead
law still we're in effect, for the Dis
trict control bill, scheduled to be signed
early this week by the President, car
ries so-called saving clause" which
sets forth that the bill does not change
the status of prosecution of cases un-
der the law which it supersedes.
lit is decided the District, as a
part of the United States became wet, "
with the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, the pleas in abatement
filed by defense attorneys probably Will
be granted. and the cases dropped.
In the first case, the defendants
were arrested in a raid before repeal.
1t is the claim of their attorneys.
George Boden and Louis Whitestone.
tTdt repeal OF lIle eiSuIeelllIl dIllellO-
ment in the States had the same effect
on the District, and that there is no
longer any law under which they can
be sentenced This case was heard
BY Judge Gus A. Schuldt, who has been
unable to come to court for the past
week because of illness.
The second case was heard by Judge
Ralph Given. The contentious of F.
Joseph Donahue, defense attorney, are
similar to those of Boden and White
stone, but the case differs from the
other in that the arrest was made
after repeal went into effect in the
States.
The Gibson case. now being heard
by the United States Supreme Court,
is expected to establish some principle
on which the Washington judges can
base their decisions, and an opinion
is expected on it shortly. The case is
gles, in passing the V0lStead act, Gre
ated it as one for the entire country
and Territories, or was acting in its
capacity as legislative body for the
District of Columbia, Alaska and other
Territories. If the latter case is true,
then the Volstead law was in force
here after it had been repealed by the
States.
A decision by the Ninth District
Court in California, Judge Given said
yesterday, upheld such contention.
although a lower Hawaiian court held
that the opposite was true.
