FIREMAN LOSES
SALARY SUIT

Reappointment Of members Of
the police and fire departments
of the District should take the
form of original appointment and
not entitle appointees to more
than the basic entrance salary,
the District Court Of Appeals
ruled today.
The decision was handed down
in the case of Warren w. Smith.
private in the fire department.
He entered the department in
1924 at the basic salary of $1,000
q year. The law provided an an
nual increase Of 500 a year for
five years until a maximum
salary of $2,4OO was reached.
Private Smith resigned in Octo-
ber, 1881, while receiving salary
of $4,000 a year. In January,
1882, he was reappointed. The
appointment was in the nature of
an original appointment at the
$1,000 salary, and Smith con-
tended he was entitled to the
$4,000 salary. He entered suit
in Municipal Court and received
judgment Of $442.26 against the
District. But the Court of Ap-
peals decided to the contrary.

now returning to the mainland
from Hawaii, Mr.. Platt declared.
Follows Brothers Course
Mrs. Dall's mother, Mrs. Roose-
velt, who is in San Francisco now,
will not be present at the divorce
hearing.
The divorce is being handled
similarly to that Of Mrs. Dalrs
brother, Elliott Roosevelt, in 1888,
according to Platt, who also
handled that case.
Although Judge Guild is known
to frown upon such proceedings,
it was expected that the case to.
day would be tried behind closed
doors.
Mrs. Dali came to Nevada June
II. After remaining few days
at Lake Tahoe she moved to the
Dana ranch, where Secret Service
operatives guarded her against I'LL
tervieWS. Mrs. Roosevelt made a
five-day visit.
Residence Term Up Yesterday
Mrs. Dall's residence was "up"
yesterday, making her eligible to
seek a divorce today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dali were married
at a fashionable wedding at ST..
James Episcopal Church in Hyde

have been separated for more

LIQUOR BOARD
FACES NEW
PROBLEMS
Annapolis Pharmacy Case Is
Among Questions to Be
Taken Up This Week

Several brand new questions Of
liquOr policy will face the District
Commissioners this week, and
among them is the first appeal
from an Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board decision that has been
made since the repeal of prohibi'
ton.
The case Of the Annapolis
Pharmacy, 800 block Of Eleventh
st. N. w., is the first one the Com
missioners may have to decide
upon. The license there is in the
name of Mrs. Ida L. Rods, and
has been ordered revoked by the
A. B. c. Board for alleged viola
tions Of the liquor law, the charges
having been brought against the
pharmacy by police detectives.
On hearing the evidence, al
though the defense attorneys put
up a valiant case, the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board unani-
mously revoked the license. Not
long thereafter the attorney for
the pharmacy took advantage of
a sentence in the liquor law to
appeal to the Commissioners to
reverse the decision Of the A. B.
c. Board.
Two Others Appeal
Two other appeals from similar
cancellations of license are before
the Commissioners from Mrs.
Maggie Tiches, 1900 block -Four
teenth st. N. W., and George Ma.
tosian, 1000 block Rhode Island
Ave. N. e.
Another problem that either the
Commissioners or the A. B. C..
Board will have to face soon has
to do with method by which some
of the Independent grocery stores
have appeared to put one over"
on the law, the A. B. c. Board,
and their competitors.
There is a section of the liquor
law forbidding wholesalers and
manufacturers from having an
ownership interest in the retail
liquor business. This is intended
to prevent the pre-prohibition evils
arising from brewery-owned Sa-

Unless the military authorities
relax martial law restrictions so
that hauling of meat can be re-
sumed at once, many markets
will be forced to close, according
to Mr.. johnson.
A serious situation is develop
