Doherty Subpoena
Service at Dinner
attacked in Court
Validity of Presentation
by G.. W. u. Student
Is Denied.

Service of a subpoena on Henry L.
Doherty at the recent Gridiron dinner
by Gerald w. Sickler, George Wash
ington University student, who crash
ed" the gate in order to reach the oil
magnate, was attacked as invalid today
in District Supreme Court.
Sickler, an especially appointed court
officer. created sensation when
ticketleSs--he walked into the closely
guarded banquet hall, and handed
Doherty papers in IA suits brought by
purchasers of stock in the Indian
Territory Illuminating Oil Co. Doherty
allegedly had evaded service for a year.
Woodson P. Houghton and K. K.
Sprigss, attorneys for the oil man,
filed motion today to quash the serv-
ice on the ground the court was with
out authority to appoint Sickler.
They stated that there was no statu-
tory provision for an "elisor," as such
a court officer is called, and that the
appointment may be made under the
old common law only upon a showing
that the sheriff and the coroner are
disqualified. There was no such ale
CATION in this case. they declared.
1t was contended further that Sickler
could not legally have functioned as a
deputy marshal, since only the United
States marshal for the District has the
power TO appoint deputy here.

v. P. A. MAY GIVE
Jobs TO HALF D. c.
DOLE RECIPIENTS
Expansion Rumored to Put
Men to Work About
March IS.
RESTRICTIONS NOW BAR
MEN LISTED AFTER NOV.1
Ban Brought Crisis to City, Al
ready Hampered by Heavy
Burdens.

Solution of the District relief
problem through rumored expansion
of the w. P. A. program was seen
today with the prospect of more than
half of the $500 Capital dole recip-
tents being shunted TO works jobs
March Is.
Present restrictions forbid granting
employment in the works program to
men and women who entered the re-
lief lists subsequent to November l.
Flis ban has brought crisis locally
for these reasons:
Full launching of the w. P. A. was
coupled with abolition of the F. E.
r. A., which had been supplementing
the Districts own relief appropriation
Of S2,0O0,000 a year with s8,000000.
The w. P. A. furnished jobs for
employables. which left many on re-
lief ineligible.
The w. P. A. lacked enough jobs TO
give work to all employables.
Many w. P. A. jobs were part time,
and even full-time work paid so little
in many instances that at the present
time the District makes supplementary
payments to the w. P A employees.
The w. P. A. program cut from
$4,000 to $500 the number of relief
families, but new clients are being
added, it is computed, at the rate of
500 a month.
The District had 81 ,04O 900 January
/ for relief purposes. Out of this has
to come food, clothing, shelter, light
and heat for the relief families and the
difference between w. P. A. wages and
the amount necessary for subsistence
living.
The money will be gone by June l
at the latest. Commissioner Allen
plans to seek at least $780, 900 addi-
tional from Congress to make it easier
to stretch the relief fund until the end
of the fiscal year.
The Community Chests obligations
to its SIS member agencies preclude its
aiding solution of the emergency relief
problem. The Federal aid of s5,000,0 600
has been subtracted. The Districts
only hope, it was said at the District
Building today. is congressional ap-
preparation and W. P. A. expansion to
permit hiring new relief clients.

OEHMANN ORDERS
FIRE HAZARD CHECK
Field Inspectors Survey Follows
Reports of Marshal
LAUDER.

Building Inspector John w. Och
mann has assigned the full force of
field inspectors of his Office to make a
check of suspected fire hazards re-
ported by Fire Marshal Calvin G. Lau-
ber
The action was taken as a result of
the two recent fires in which five per-
sons lost their lives. Three of the
force of 10 field inspectors have been
assigned to study fire escapes.
Col. Oehmann declared his determin-
alton to bring up to date action on all
complaints filed by the fire marshal.

mitted to the building inspection divi-
sion, which issues notices for correc-
ton of hazards after that force makes
an independent check.
Col. Oehmann petitioned the Com
missioners several months ago for an
increase of 10 in his staff for the next
fiscal year. The Commissioners ap-
proved an increase of six, which was
reduced by the Budget Bureau to four.
officials of the division for number
of years have claimed the inspection
force was too small to meet demands
for service.
