Isaiah cured malignant boil on King

DEATH CLAIMS
GOOD FRIEND
Of LAWYERS

Lawyers who frequent the Of
flee Of Clerk Frank E. Cunning
ham will not begin to miss The
Deacon for several days-he was
always so quiet and retiring-buU
when they do begin to realize he
isn't there, they will ask what be-
came Of him.
The Deacon, as he was called
by most of the lawyers, was
Charles P. Roy, colored clerical
assistant, who had given intelli.
gent service to the clerks in Mr..
Cunningham's office for more
than 80 years.
He never complained and went
quietly about his labors-many
Of them important-and he dis
charged them so well they became
routine. He was suddenly strick-
en- a week ago with heart attack
from which he Succumbed yester-
day.
Not only will the clerks miss
The Deacon and his services, but
the lawyers who knew him will
miss him also. His was a vanish
ing type, which will always be
cherished in traditions of North
and South alike.
Renah Camalier has risen to
another distinction-it is Colonel
Camalier now. instead Of the
Madame Queen" Of the District
Attorneys office he used to be.
Moreover. Renah is not a Ken
lucky colonel. He is full
fledged Colorado colonel, Of which
there are almost as few as there
are admirals in the Swiss navy.
Indeed, he is the second person
to be so honored.
Ann Cooke, who used to pound
out ponderous briefs in the office
Of James A. O'Shea and John H.
Burnett, has recovered from an
illness which kept her at her
home for q number Of months
and has established offices in the
National Press Building.
Her practice, it seems, is not
purely office practice, either. She
is frequently seen about Judiciary
Square in very much Of a hurry
to get her work done, and back
to her office. And her admirers
say that she is another fine
woman lawyer who gets her law
out of books rather than ask an.
other lawyer for it.

WORKERS
AIDED BY PAY
LEGISLATION
By DUNCAN FORSYTH


Legislation which would solve
the problem Of the classified per
hour employees of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, who are
faced with the loss of four hours
time and pay If the bureau is
closed Saturday because Of the
application of the five-day week
to 769 wage board employees, is
now before the House Appropria-
tions COMMITTEE, and has the
backing of the bureau and the
Treasury.
This statement was made to
The Times by Miss Gertrude M.
McNally, secretary-treasurer Of
the National Federation Of Fed.
eral Employees, who is particu-
larly interested in bureau affairs
because of her close association
with the union Of women en-
ployes there, Of which she has
been an officer since its incep-
ton.
The bureau classified employees
have faced serious situation as
a result Of the adoption Of the
Thomas amendment, which gives
a five-day week to all those work
erS whose pay is fixed by wage
boards or other wage-fixing au-
thorities. Under a ruling by the
Comptroller General, only those
non-wage-board workers who art
on a per annum pay basis could
continue to draw their pay with
out a reduction if they went on
a five-day week, conforming to
the working time of the wage
board group.
The form of the legislation
which may become a part of the
deficiency bill or may be offered
as a joint resolution, would give
the administrative officers of the
bureau authority to pay the pres
ent weekly rate of earnings for
the five-day week. It is under.
stood the wording was suggested
by the Comptroller General.
The bureau has 4,058 employees,
and the 3,289 not covered by the
Thomas amendment would get a
five-day week without pay loss if
the proposed measure is enacted.

Six Local Unions
Added by N. r. E..

Marked gains in membership
are being recorded by the Ma
tional Federation of Federal En-
ployes, and six new local unions
have been established, according
to Miss Gertrude M. McNally, Sec
retary-treaSurer.
The new locals are No. SOL, at
Lyons, N. j.; No. 502, at Greens
boro, N. c.; No. SOB, at Elmira,
N. Y; No. 504, at Moscow, Idaho;
No. sos, at Huron s. D.; and No.

these unions start with substan-
tial membership rosters, Miss Nc
Nally said, and are adding rapidly
to the rolls.

Observation-Disclosures Of legis-

United States.
The President Of the United
States acted within his authority,
conferred by Congress, in his proc
lamation Of March 6, 1888 forbid
ding withdrawal of gold and pro-
hibiting gold boarding and the
proclamation does not amount to
a taking Of property.
Davis VS.. Morgenthau. No. 83370.
HalSey K. Davis, of New York,
on October Is, 1888, applied to the
Treasury of the United States for
redemption of a $40 gold certifi-
cate in gold coins. His application
was refused because of the inhibi-
tionS contained in the Presidents
proclamation proclaiming a ma
tional emergency and forbidding
the earmarking, expectation, with
drawal or paying out Of gold coin
or gold bullion.
He filed suit for mandamus
against the then Secretary Of the
Treasury William H. Woodin and a
rule was issued. The Government
answered fully on five propositions
and the petitioner demurred to the
answer. Justice Jennings Bailey
overruled the demurrer to the an.
Swer.
Briefly the answer Of Govern.
ment counsel contended:
In pursuance Of the order Of
the President, contained in his
proclamation, the Secretary of the
Treasury. referred to as respon.
dent, directed that no gold be paid
out by the Treasury, or any mint
or assay office except under
license of respondent. Pursuant
to Section 5 (b) Of the act of Oc-
tober 6, 1917, as amended by the
act Of March 8, 1888, the Presi-
dent issued a proclamation on
March 9. 1888. declaring that the
national emergency still contin-
ued and proclaiming, ordering and
declaring that all the terms and
provisions Of the proclamation of
March 6, 1888, and the regula-
tions and orders issued hereunder
be continued in full force and ef-
feet until further proclamation.
The proclamation was in effect
on october IS, 1888, when the
plaintiff sought to redeem his GER
tificate, and is still in effect. Ac-
cordingly the period of national
emergency and bank holiday pro-
claimed by the proclamation Of
March 6, 1888, has continued
without interruption and still
continues. Accordingly the re.
spondent directed that no with
drawals or paying out of gold, or
the expectation of earmarking
shall be made except under
license. The plaintiff has not ap.
piled for nor has he been granted
a license to acquire gold as re-
qu1red by Sect ~ 4 of executive
order dated August %, 1888.
!. The complaint Of the plain.
tiff is, If anything, merely a
breach Of a Government contract
and could be maintained in a suit
at law in an appropriate court.
Accordingly mandamus is not the
proper remedy when other relief
is available (Kendall VS.. United
States, - Pet. 525; Reside VS..

582).
2. No property of the plaintiff
has been taken from him in viola
ton Of his constitutional rights
because he had not deposited the
gold dollars he sought and has no
title to any particular gold coins

where it is believed its journey
will be less eventful than in the
Senate, where it was thrust aside
a half dozen times when it was
brought up for passage under
the unanimous consent rule.
All Sales Require License
Under provisions of the bill,
every person selling real estate
or acting as a broker, will be
subject to regulation. It will fill
q gap which the code for the In
dustry will not fill.
While the code establishes fair
practice for the industry, it does
not determine who shall be al
lowed to sell real estate or who
shall not have the right to sell it.
The license law will do that
very thing. In the first place,
it makes strict definitions of real
estate statesmen and brokers.
Fitness Investigated
It establishes commission to
investigate the moral and profeS-
Sional fitness Of a person to sell
real estate and provides for
issuing licenses to those accepted.
It will positively deprive an un-
licensed person from selling or
offering for sale and will inflict
a penalty for violation of the
license law.
Fly-by-night promotion men and
high-preSsure experts with shady
records will suffer from the legis-
lation. The District, with its de-
Birable rural, suburban and water
front sites, has been a refuge for
these gentry for many years.
They will not roost here if the
House rushes the bill through this
session.
Help for Law Officers
This will also be good news to
the District Attorneys office and
to Louis Rothschild, manager of
the Better Business Bureau. In
many instances, people would not
heed Mr.. RothSchild's "investi-
gate before you invest" warning
and were stung by the unscrupI-
lous fly-by-aight insect. Then the
job was put up to the District At
torney after Mr.. Rothschild had
worked up the case.
The fast worker would go to
Jail, but the victim never got
his money back.
The Shannon-Luchs firm has
one Of the most modern, up-to-
date business offices in the
country and they are not the
only ones who know it.
Wednesday the class in busi-
ness administration of the Uni
versity of Maryland came down
to the 1irm'S offices and had
their eyes opened.
Many Of the students thought
Of a real estate office as a musty
room with plat books and maps
Ittering a few desks and tables.
AS they coursed through the
Shannon-Luchs emporium they
changed their impressions.
Each department - insurance,
property management, sales, mort
cages, rentals and auditing-was
visited in turn by the students,
and the officer in charge of the
department gave them a brief lee
ture and demonstration on the
manner his department functions.
Then they We're told how these
departments dovetail to make up
a go-getting organization, where
the right hand always knows what
the left hand is doing.
The students enjoyed it and
they learned some things.

Albert Levin, that the association
will offer its help to the ABC

He stated:
"The purpose Of the aSsOcia-

no cloud upon such businesses
and upon those engaged there
in; that bOOtleggers will be q
thing in memory only and that
those who are responsible for
the repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment will have no cause
to regret their efforts in re-
moving the great mistake, and
that those who are honestly in
tereSted in temperance will
realize that regulation and not
prohibition is the best policy"
