SLEEP COOL

Seg~the smile instead Of gloom.
When old summer is at its best
She can sleep and have some rest.
And for you increase her love.

Marble Palace Ready
For High Court April

the tribunal actually will hold
sessions in the new courtroom.
The old quarters, which served
as the chambers of the United
States Senate, for many years,
until the Senate wing of the
Capitol was constructed, possibly
may serve as an addition to the
famous Statuary Hall, recently
shorn of several statues due to
the great weight on the floor.
The new building, which is con.
structed of white Vermont marble
and trimmed in black New York
marble, was designed by the late
Cass Gilbert, who designed the
famous Woolworth Building in
New York. Mr.. Cass' own prophecy
that after designing the Supreme
Court Building there was nothing
more to live for, proved only too
true and he died in France sew.

So A DAY ASKED
FOR JURORS

Jurors and witnesses in Federal
courts would be paid IS a day
under bill introduced in the
Senate today by Senator Frederick
Van NuyS CD of Indiana.
Although the statutory fee at
present is 81 a day. jurors and
witnesses are being paid only SO
because of a provision of the
Economy Act. Senator Van Nuys'
bill would repeal the section of
the Economy act affecting this
matter.
The District Of Columbia Su-
preme Court, as well as the Dis
trict court here, would be af-
fected by the bill.
In introducing the measure, the
Tndianan, who is a member of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, said:
"It is for the purpose of main.
tanning the high standard of
Federal jurieS and enabling rep
resentative citizens from all
parts of the District to assume
the very responsible and patri.

225-Pound Cor
Says 115-Pound
Wife Beat Him

Jess Moore, Fourth precinct
policeman who weighs 225
pounds, pleaded self defense
and paid tribute to the fight
ing ability of his 115-pound
wife when he answered a di-
vorce suit in District Supreme
Court today.
Mrs. Hazel Jean Moore, sued
for limited divorce on the
ground of cruelty. She charged
that her husband used physical
violence toward her on num-
ber of occasions.
Through Attorney Raymond
Neudecker, the policeman said
that, although his wife weighs
only lis pounds, he was ready
to prove that cher fighting
spirit, her uncomfortable temper
and her vicious disposition COM
bined to make her a most re-
ldoubtable fighter" He said
that his wife on numerous occa-
sions had thrown dishes, bottles,
kitchen utensils and similar OBJ
jectS at him.
The policeman said that on
one occasion his wife attempted
to prevent him from going to
work and that he was forced to
tie her to a radiator before he
could leave his home for the

mendations. DR.. Ballou said:
"In view of the fact so
many construction items, which
we requested, have been elimi-
mated from the budget, it is
obvious adequate provision is
not being made for the un-
usual increases in school en-
rollment during the past few
years."
During the past year, DR.. Bal
lou pointed out, the enrolment
in the local schools increased by
about 400, the largest annual
increase in history. The increase
for the past few years varied
from a little more than 1,500
to 5000.
These unusual" increases in
school population, the superin'
tendent said, have more than
filled schools and have caused un'
comfortable congestion.
Further Complicated
The congestion is further com
plicated by the fact, it was
pointed out, construction has
been curtailed during the years
of the depression.
School officials requested ap-
proximately $3,0OO.00O for 1886
for the construction of new build.

land. The estimates. as they went
to Congress, carried only SITS, 900
for construction and no funds to

BROWN INTENDS
To ADD 400 To
SECRET 100
Wants Volunteer Force of 500
To "0bserve" Violations
Of Traffic Rules

Major Ernest w. Brown, super
intendent. of police, was unsuc-
cessful in his efforts to obtain 1876
additional policemen for his force,
so he turned to increasing the
staff of his own private OGPU.
Little has been heard from the
100 unofficial traffic observers as
sembled by Major Brown and the
traffic committee of the Board of
Trade recently, but this, Major
Brown says, is due to the fact that
there are not enough Of them.
Wants 500 Members
Accompanied by Wallace Robin
son, chairman of the trade body
committee, Major Brown today
asked Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen to approve the increase of
the number of observers to 500
members.
The traffic observers" are not
armed with police powers. They
merely make note of any infrac-
tions observed and report to police
headquarters.
A letter is sent to the violator,
pointing out the violation and in
polite language asking that it be
not repeated.
Accidents Fewer
If three such observations are
reported the motorist is called be-
fore the Permit Revocation Board
to show cause why his driving IL
cenSe should not be revoked.
Mr.. Robinson pointed out that
the number of traffic accidents
last year was $50 less than in the
year preceding. He said that al
though the number Of traffic
deaths in 1884 established a new
record for the District, the total
traffic picture showed a decided
improvement.

To DETERMINE
CHARGES
Firm Must File Justification
For Present Methods on
Or Before Feb. IS

Immediate investigation into
the rates, tolls and methods Of
depreciation accruals of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company and
the Georgetown Gaslight Com
pany was ordered today by the
Public Utilities Commission.
Officials of the two companies
were instructed by the commits
sion to file on or before February
IS a schedule of percentage rates
Of depreciation with Qualifications
for the present depreciation rate
followed by the company.
The data must include the
original cost of property, time
when put into use, estimated life,
and all pertinent facts.
Valuation Data
Data on the valuation Of the
property of the gas company units
already has been received by the
commission, and there remains
only the fiXation of the methods
of depreciation, before the COM
mission can establish the future
rates for gas to District residents.
The information will be studied
by members of the commission
for presentation at public hearings
on local gas rates.
Profits of the two concerns have
increased steadily for the last four
years, the profit during the first
II months of 1881 being $1,37O,-
OFT, as compared with $1,692,517
for the corresponding period of
1884.
Probe Necessary
The commission announced in
its order to the companies that
the methods of fixing rates of
depreciationS should be investi-
gated" and that adequate and
proper rates and methods should
be determined by the commission.
The order stated:
1T is important to the rate
payer that proper and legal
amounts be charged to Operat-
ing accounts for depreciation
accruals. A determination Of
proper rates applicable to the
depreciable property of the
Washington Gas Light Com
pany and the Georgetown Gas
light Company requires a study
of the depreciation reserves,
the history and all other perti-
nant facts of the companies,
and it is essential that all true
facts relating to the depreci-
able property as a whole and
by classes be known"
Flat Cut Ordered
The Public Utilities Commis-
sion ordered a flat 812 per cent
cut in the rates of the compa-
MES when the economy provi.
sions affecting the pay check Of
Government employees was put
into effect.
This reduction was on a tempo"
rary basis, but has been contino
ued from time to time.

May Spare Ordeal
The ordeal may be spared them
temporarily, however. Justice Pey-

parent is fit?" in this fight which
so closely resembles that of the
Vanderbilts. Court was recessed
yesterday to allow opposing coun-
sci to agree whether or not the
case is in the courts Jurisdiction.
Preceding the recess was half
hours parley between counsel and
court which sharply focused the
drama resting on each parent.
Mrs. Fahnestock, who society
says is from Washington, New
York and Newport, sat in the wit
ness chair ready for cross exami-
nation. She had testified how her
husband removed the children
from New York-bound train and
refused her permission to see them.
She could not look ahead. Her
husband sat there. He has
threatened to expose her infatua-
tion with another socially promi-

a score of curious, some of her
circle, some of the servant class.
They awaited spicy details. Her
head remained turned to the
judge.
Col. FahnStOck Stared
Colonel Fahnestock, at the law

unconsciously. He stared. His
mustache is gray; his hair is gray;
the suit clothing his gaunt body
is gray. Perhaps his mood was,
too. But he served in the "Lost
Battalion" and a soldiers moods
are private.
