Hearings are to start at 1890 am.

which she expects will continue for
two days.
Two bills are under consideration
One of these is the Commissioners
bill for creating a new division in the

of the smoke nuisance and inspection
of boilers. The other bill was intro
duced at the request of Peoples

ROBERTS PROTESTS
RAILROAD CHANGE
Objects to Track Rearrangement
by P. R. R. After Civic
Groups Demur.

A protest against a bill to permit
the Pennsylvania Railroad to re-
arrange its tracks in the vicinity OF
New York and West Virginia avenues
northeast, was filed with the House
District Committee today by William
A. Roberts, peoples counsel.
Roberts explained he acted at the
request of the Lincoln and Michigan
Park Citizens Associations and the
Northeast Conference of Citizens
Associations.
Enactment of the bill. Roberts said,
may lead to the establishment of an
industrial center within few blocks
of the Capitol and at the same time
it might have the effect of relieving
certain railroads of their present obli-
CATION established in the Union Sta
ton in 1903" In addition he de-
clared the measure would permit new
crossings at grade, at a time when
the entire Nation is alert to the neces-
sity for the elimination of such grade
crossings"

Chance of Vote Rests on
Progress in Disposing
of Food Drug Act.
MEASURE MORE LIBERAL
IN IMPORTANT DETAILS
Retention of Larger Lump Sum
and Other Items Rests
Upon Conferees.
BY ]. A. OLEARY.

The chances of taking up the i'm
proved 1886 District appropriation bill
in the Senate today hinge on what
noon on the pending food and drug
measure.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, head of the District Ap-
propriations Subcommittee. wants to
get Senate action at the first oppor-
tunity, but he was not certain it
would be possible today. In any event,
it will be taken up within few days.
In raising the total of the bill from
s39, ,306.404 to $42, ,760,619. and the
Federal obligation from S5,700,000 to
S8,3l7, 500, the Senate Appropriations
Committee made provision for most of
the facilities and maintenance items
that District officials and civic or
CARNATIONS felt were essential.
Schools Granted Boost.
After the Senate has acted on the
bill, the fate of these amendments
will rest with the conferees repre-
senting both branches of Congress.
The greater part of the Senate in
crease is for schools, police protection
and public welfare, such as hospital
maintenance, and for public health.
In addition to these general fund in
creases, the Senate bill allows the
District to spend for Improvements,
additional amounts from the separate
gasoline tax and water-rent funds.
In recent years the school building
program has Jagged, and in the pend
ing bill the House had provided for
only s635000 for this purpose. The
Senate Committee has added S1.615.-
500 for a group of building projects.
Police Increase Asked.
Another important feature Of the
Senate bill is the S309387 allowed the
Police Department to add l4l men
to the force; to repair the old second
precinct station, so that it can be put
back into service; and to rent other
quarters for the house of detention.
A few years ago the second precinct
was consolidated with an adjoining
precinct, and the old building since
has been used as the house of deten-
ton.
Included in the increases granted
for welfare activities is an allowance
to carry out the recommendation dis
cussed during the hearings of ap-
pointing a general superintendent OF
hospitals under the Board of Public
Welfare to direct and coordinate the
various municipal hospital services.
District officials recommended at the
hearings that DR.. Edgar A. Bocock.
head of Gallinger Hospital, be given
the post of general superintendent,
and a new superintendent appointed
for Gallinger.

Prettyman Begins Prepara-
ton of Measure to Provide
Four Magistrates.
SETTLEMENT IS SEEN
OF MANY MINOR CASES
Cost of System Believed to Be
Repaid by Relief of Police
Court Congestion.

Preparation Of a bill for establish
ment of a limited system of magis-
trates courts in the District, providing
for the employment of four full-time
peace justices, was started today by
Corporation Counsel Prettyman at the
direction of Commissioner Hazen.
When the bill is completed, it will
be laid before the Commissioners and,
if approved, will be forwarded to Con-
gress.
$4,000 Salary Suggested.
Commissioner Hazen suggested a
salary of $4,000 per year for the peace
justices. Each one would have three
of the Districts IL police precincts
under his jurisdiction and would travel
from one to another to hold court
after the fashion of circuit judges.
Hazen believes the cost of such a
system would be more than repaid by
the reduction of congestion of cases at
Police Court. reduction in the number
of jury trials, and saving in the time
of police officers who now must spend
hours each week at court waiting for
their cases to be heard.
There would be an appeal to Police
Court on all decisions of the magis-
trates. and the defendants would have
the right to demand a jury trial in
Police Court.
Prettyman has said he is convinced
q majority Of the minor cases settled
by the magistrates would not be ap-
pealed.
To Solve Ticket Fixing.
AS a side issue. Commissioner Hazen
believes creation of the magistrates
courts would effectively solve the Dis
trict's problem arising over the con-
slant pleas to prosecution officials OF
the District to have traffic tickets
fixed" If new courts were estab-
lished, Hazen would have the corpo-
ration counsels Office and the Police
Department get entirely out of the
business of fixing traffic tickets and
would leave this to the discretion of
the magistrates. In other words, per-
sons who could give convincing reasons
for parking overtime or in restricted
zones could be excused with warn
ing by the magistrates.
One argument for the magistrates
courts system is that it would afford
a means Of almost immediate hearing
on charges, and unless the defendant
appealed from the magistrates deci-
sion, the case could be settled within
a few hours. whereas now minor cases
sometimes drag for days and keep po-
lice officers away from normal police
duty,
