BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The specter of the Districts shadowy
fiscal relations with the Federal Gov
ernment arose in the House last night
to deprive a widow. whose husband
was killed by speeding Metropolitan
Police scout car, of $4,000 damages.
The District Commissioners paid the
widow and her son ,$5,00O-all they
could under the law-but the House
Claims Committee declared the figure
too low and recommended that Con-
greSs appropriate an additional $4,000.
But the House got into a row over
whether the extra $4,000 should be
paid out of the Federal Treasury. or
out of District funds, and before the
question was settled, the second night
session since Congress convened was
adjourned prematurely.
Item in Claims Bill.
The controversy centered over an
item in the omnibus claims bill which
would have awarded the additional
$4,000 to Mrs. Mary E. Roney of the
5000 block of Livingston street, widow
of George H. Roney, who was killed by
police scout car at Connecticut ave-
nue. and Livingston street in October,
1880. The scout car, according to a
report submitted to the House, was
running on the wrong side of a street
car from which Roney alighted.
The Commissioners paid Mrs. Roney
$4,000, and opposed payment of the
additional $4,000 recommended by the
committee on the ground that: There
are no facts or circumstances which
have been presented to the Commis-
sioners subsequent to the payment of
Mrs. Roney's claim, which would war
rant the Commissioners in recon-
mending that the bill be enacted into
law"
During debate on the bill. Repre-
sentative Lewis, Democrat, of Mary
land, argued that 1.-The great Govern
inent Of the United States cannot dis
miss its duties lightly. We are now
sitting as city council for the Dis
trict of Columbia" he said, "and we
must assume our duties as city coun-
cilmen."

Title Outlook
Good, Team
Tops Loop
BY SID KATZNELL

If you don't succeed at first
try, try again.
This worn out adage has been
used on sports pages of the coun
try many times IN the past, but
it is most appropriate in the case
of the Bureau of Investigation
baseball team.
For the past five years the G
men have been trying to win the
pennant in the u. S. Government
League, but to no avail. They
were always the bridesmaid, but
never the bride. This year 1t
looks as if they made the grade
Thus far the team has been run
ming away with the flag, having
won five straight games without
losing one.
Topping the pitchers staff is
big" Jim Tenant, formerly with
Albany, of the international
League. Ray Davidson, former
Maryland University player, and
Dick Nichols, formerly OF George
Washington University, form the
balance of the hurting corps,
Davidson and Nichols are fine
hurlers, but just haven't the
natural and exceptional ability
that Tenant possesses.
Meet Commissioners
The Omen will have to display
their best brand of baseball to-
day when they meet the D. C.
Commissioners in the league. The
Commissioners are sending Art
Lacy, one of the best pitchers on
the sandlots, against them.
Sheedy will start Cook Taylor
on first base; Walter Morris, sec
ond base: Nelson Colley, short
stop; Eddie Colliflower, third
base; Jim Thompson, left field;
Roger Leverton, right field; Pepco
Barry, center field; Herman Kan
der, catcher, and Tenant,
pitcher.
On the Sidelines they will have
such capable subs as Lewis Russell,
outfielder, and Tony RoSser,
catcher.
Taylor played in the Texas
League; Walter Morris captained
Georgetown University nine sew
eral years ago: Colley starred at
Duke; Colliflower had a tryout
with the st. Louis Cardinals;
Thompson also Shone at Duke
Leverton was an all-around star at
Richmond u: Barry played with
numerous minor league outfits,

Old Dominion League
According to l.. D. Langley, preSi-
dent, the game of games will take
place in the Old Dominion League
Sunday, when Clarendon A. C.
tackles Clarendon Business Men
at Park Lane.
The Business Men won the flag
last season, and the Clarendon
A. c. is tied for first place with
Park Lane, with three victories
and 10 defeats, at present. The
Business Men are in second place,
with three triumphs and one set
back.
Cowan or Stranson will twirl for
the Business Men, while either
Brooks or Ready will work for
Clarendon A. C. Three other
games are also carded in the
league Sunday. Virginia White Sox
meet Forestville, at Forestville;
Clarendon Cards oppose Mclean,

 Several bills seeking to curb the courts power to declare acts of con- gress unconstitutional are before the house judiciary committee, of which Hatton J. Summers, democrat, Tex- as, is chairman. Summers promised his committee would "go into the whole matter thoroughly"
 Committee Divided
 Members of the committee ap- peared divided. At It's first session the committee voted down Q pro- posal to table all the bills. Rep- resentatlve David J. Lewis, demo- crat, Maryland, and Representative Fred J. sissons, democrat, New York, said they would circulate Q pe- tition to force consideration if the committee fails to act.
 The court is almost evenly di- vided between conservatives and lib- erals. Five.to-four decisions, with Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes swinging the balance, have been fre- quent. Van Devanter has voted against most new deal measures.
 There has not been a supreme court resignation since the late Jus tice Aliver Wendell Holmes dramat- ically laid aside his judicial robes in 1882.
 Give President Chance
 The resignation of Van Devanter if 1t were to materialize, would give President Roosevelt his first op- portunity to name Q member of the bench. It would also be the first break in the conservative ranks of the court since the death of Chief Justice William Howard Taft.
 Herbert Hoover, named three dur ing his term-Chief Justice Hughes, Justices Owen J. Roberts and Ben- jannin N. Cardozo.
 Calvin Coolidge named Justice Harlan Fiske Stone. Warren C.. Harding named Justices George Sutherland and Pierce Butler. Wood- row Wilson named Justices James O. McFeynolds and Louis D. Brandeis.
 A change of the court just now might have great significance in view of the new deal cases still to come before the tribunal. It might prove important in deciding the validity of the Guffey coal control act, the social security law, the new railroad pension law, the labor rela- tons act and the utilities law.
 Van Devanter's resignation has been rumored frequently. It was mentioned over year ago when his wife died during Q summer trip to Europe,
