N/HI does our Constitution pro-
w vide for a system of federal
courts?
"There are in the Constitution, y
says Daniel Webster, grants Of pow
ers to Congress, and restrictions On
these powers. There are also prohibi.
lions on the States. Some authority
must, therefore, necessarily exist, hav.
ing ultimate Jurisdiction. The
Constitution has itself established
that authority BY declaring that
the Constitution and the laws Of the
United States, made in pursuance
thereof, shall be the supreme law Of
the land. - No State law is to be
valid which comes in conflict with the
Constitution, or any law Of the United
States passed in pursuance Of it.
'But who shall decide this question
Of interference? To whom lies the last
appeal? This the Constitution itself
decides also, declaring [ArsicIe iii
that the judicial power [of the COURT
shall extend to all cases, arising under
the Constitution and laws of the
United Srates.'"

HUNGARIAN STAFF
HAS POLICE GUARD
Legation Officials Refuse
Comment on Bomb
Plot Rum0r.

The Hungarian Legation and
chancery have been guarded by
Washington police for the last 10
days, it was. learned today. Onicials
of the State Department, the police
and attaches at the legation refused,
however, to disclose the reason.
A police detail was placed on duty
at the chancery, located on the fourth
floor of an apartment building at
1924 Sixteenth street, for the visit 10
days ago of a delegation which went
there to protest the execution Of .
Communist In Budapest.
Since then both the chancery and
the legation, the latter at 1704 Eight
zenith street, have been under guard.
Rumors of q plot to bomb the two
buildings and assassinate Minister
John Pelenyi and members of his stan
reached police shortly after the dele
cations visit, from a tenant in, the
Sixteenth street apartment house.
Minister Pelenyi and his family left
Washington for Hungary early last
week. 1t has been their custom to
go home each Summer.
Reports that policemen were under
orders to examine suspicious suit cases
or packages carried by passers-by we're
denied by the Police Department.
Pvt. James Stabler was on duty
this morning at the chancery, patroll-
ing the sidewalks and alley ON three
sides of the building. Pvt. James e.
Lowry was at the legation.
Charles Schwenda, executive officer
of the legation, Joined police and the
State Department in refusing to dis
cllSS the case. However, employees OF
the chancery went about their work
as usual today, apparently unworried,
and only the servants were In evidence
at the legation. .--~i
Both the protocol and Western
European Affairs Divisions at the
State Department denied knowledge Of
an elleged bombing plot, or that they
had requested police protection for
the legation and chancery. Police are
stationed at foreign embassies or lega-
tions only at the request of diplomats
or the State Department.

friends thought she was recovering
rom an illness which had kept her
in hospital for eight months.
Miss Ward was brought home from
the hospital last Winter. In recent
weeks her strength improved and
she was able to sit on her front porch
or essay an occasional automobile
ride. She hoped to return to her
painting soon, but a relapse set in a
few days ago.
Miss Ward had an especial talent
for pastel drawings of children. She
was skilled. however, in many me-

won first prize in that class at the
annual exhibit of the Society of Wash

Her "one-man" exhibit at Corcoran
last June was successful in attend

One OF her favorite oils was a full

HOSPITAL GUARDS
HELDFOR INQUEST
Patient Died as Result of
Abdominal Injuries-Probe
Set Tomorrow.

Two st. Elizabeth's Hospital guards
were held at the eleventh precinct
police station today pending an in
quest into the death of Howard Haw-
kins, 80, colored inmate of the insti-
tuition, who died there yesterday of
peritonitis resulting from abdominal
injuries. The inquest has been set by
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald for
II 80 am. tomorrow.
The guards, John Ferguson, %, of
3219 Ninth place northeast and Robert
Drummer, 81, of 613 Morton street
northeast, who were released Tuesday
when charges of assaulting Hawkins
were nolle pressed, were surrendered
by their attorney yesterday afternoon.
They were ordered held for .ie cor
oner.
Dr. H. C. Wooley of st. Elizabeth's
announced the men still were under
suspension as result of an investi-
cation following Hawkins injury sew
eral months ago when he was being
forcibly returned to his room after
an argument with his wife. who was
visiting him. He claimed the guards
kicked and beat him.
They we're suspended from service
for abuse of a patient, an unpardon-
able sin at this hospital" DR.. Wooley
said. Their duty is to protect their
patients"
"The fact the charges were nolle
pressed in Police Court would have
had nothing to do with restoring them
to duty, even had Hawkins death not
occurred. What action hospital OH
cials will take will be independent of
the inquest, but probably will await
the result of that inquiry"
The assault charges were first
brought in Police Court May %, but
the case was continued until June %
to await the outcome of Hawkins In
juries It was continued again on the
latter date, and when called Tuesday,
attorneys for the defendants asked
dismissal of the case, claiming the
men, both of whom have families, were
prevented from returning to work by
the pending charges.
Assistant District Attorney Eugene
Carusi nolle pressed the cases, which
would permit new charges to be
brought on the same evidence. A dis
missal Of the charges would have been
tantamount to an acquittal, after
which the charges could not have bel q
