KnOdIe Sue
For Bat On
Noodle

HAGERsTOWN, Md, Jan. 4.
1t wasn't exactly battery, but
when Robert H. Knodle got
beaned on the noodle with a golf
ball it just about ruined his bat
terry business.
So today Mr.. Knodle, still sui
fering from the impact, filed suit
for $50, 900 damages against Fred
c. Wright, insurance broker who
is alleged to have driven the golf
ball that struck Knodle on the
noodle.
It all happened on July 4 last
at the Fountain Head Country
Club near here. Both men were
playing in a club tournament.
Mr.. Knodle had driven off and
was walking down the fairway
when Mr.. Wright drove off.
His ball came in such violent
contact with the Knodle noodle
as to fracture his skull, Mr..
Knodle contends. He was taken
to the hospital, and for several
weeks doctors despaired Of saving
his life.
He has been unable to manage
his battery business since struck
by the ball, he tells the court.
Hence the suit.

VOTE SOUGHT
ON MARRIAGE
CLAUSE

Decision Of the House leader
ship yesterday to call up bills on
the consent calendar Monday pro-
vides a vehicle for determining
what parliamentary steps should
be taken to insure favorable
action during this session on the
proposal to repeal the marriage
clause" of the economy bill.
This was the belief expressed
today by Representative Robert
Ramspeck Cd, of Georgia, chair
man of the House Civil Service
Committee, and an ardent sup
porter of the repeal measure.
Bills called up on consent
calendar day" receive House ap-
proval unless at least three mem
bers make known their objections
to the measure. If three members
voic: objections, however, the bill
then is put aside for future Ion
sideration.
RANTSPECK'S VIEWS
Chairman Ramspeck explained
that he does not believe the re.
peal bill will slip through without
the three objections on Monday.
He pointed out, however, that
when the objections are made he
will thus be able to determine just
where the opposition lies, and this
will enable him to lay whatever
plans he believes are necessary to
push the measure through the
lower House.
It is possible that he may ask
the Rules Committee to grant a
special rule for consideration of
the measure but, he added, to OBJ
tain rule for this proposal would
be difficult and he is of the opin-
ion that it probably would be
more expeditions to allow the bill
to come up for consideration
under the regular House rules.
The Georgian declared that
while there probably Is some op.
position to the measure of which
he is not aware at present, he is
fairly confident Of gaining House
approval of the bill during thu
session.
Chance for Bill
Similarly. Representative Ram
speck says he believes there is a
good chance that the measure
placing first, second and third
postmasterships under Civil Serv-
ice will win House approval before
many months.
This measure virtually would
make q career service" in the
Post Office Department, and it
is for this reason that he and
other supporters Of the proposal
desires its passage.
That measure, too, is on the
House calendar and probably will
be called up during the consent
calendar" day Monday.

ASKS NEW BAN
ON PARKING

A parking ban in the downtown
section as a means of lettering
transportation was suggested to-
day to the Public Utilities Com
mission at the hearing on COM
plants against Capital Transit
Company street car AND bus SER
vice.
Arthur Briscoe, of 242e First st.
N. w., a shareholder in the COM
pany, suggested the ban. He said
1t should be tried for a period of
at least one week and predicted
the trial would lead to permanent
prohibition.
Mr.. BriScoe also urged the
commission to limit the number
Of taxicabs operating in Wash
ington, which he said multiply
like rabbits"
He pied that the transit com.
pany'S case be not prejudiced
because Of the presence of the
North American Company. gigan-
tic utility corporation, in local
traction field. He contended the
North American Company was
now out Of the picture, but on
croSS-examination by Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts it
was shown it still holds con.
trolling interests in the local
company.
Denial by William B. Bennett,
assistant to the president of the
Capital Transit Company, denied
that express bus service on the
transit lines was designed to de-
crease transfer points.
A discussion of the Chevy
Chase express bus line service
during examination of Mr.. Ben.
nett evoked heated words between
william NICK. Clayton, veteral
utilities representative Of the
Federation Of Citizens Association,
and John H. Hanna, president Of
the transit company.
Mr.. Clayton contended that the
merger Of the two street car COM
panieS was designed to eliminate
q number Of transfer points, but
Mr.. Hanna insisted that the com.
pany intends to give service in
all parts Of the city and even
might add additional transfer
points.

GAIN 3,78z

Figures released today by the
Civil Service Commission revealed
a total of 11O,745 Government
employees in Washington for the
month of November, which was
a total gain of 1876 over figures
of the preceding month.
Excluding the legislative. Judi
cial and military branches of the

cies, however, showed a reduction
Of forces. In offices that were in
existence prior to tn present Ad-
ministration there was decrease
Of 1888, while agencies created
by the Administration that are
regarded as permanent dropped
1,040 from pay rolls.
The steady gain in personnel
that has marked almost every
month since March, 1888, was up
held by relief agencies, which
added 8,210 to their StaffS, 966
receiving appointments in Wash
ington. The aggregate Federal

viola, and Howard Mitchell, cello.
The critic of the New York
Times said: "For the ensemble
is made up of musicianly and
earnest performers, with talents
of no mean order, whose sole en-
deavor Is to sink themselves in
the music in hand and give it
heartfelt expression. Their tone
was firm, clean and transparent,
though it was not ample enough
for many passages in the Brahms,
or sufficiently ethereal in rapidly
moving pianiSSimo work. But it
was usually well balanced. Every
thing done exhibited care and in
telligence and aroused great in
tereSt in the future activities of
this gifted but as yet somewhat
inexperienced group"
