BATTLE OF RITTER
HAS NO Precedent
0usted Judge Plans to File Legal
Action in U. S. Court
of Claims.


BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, May 15.-Forner Fed
eral Judge Halsted L. Ritter said last
night he would file an unprecedented
legal action in the United States Court
of Claims contesting his removal by
the Senate. -.-.
The impeached iurist added that
he refused to vacate his ONCE in the
Miami Federal Building.
Declining to describe the form Of
the proceedings he plans against the
Senate, Ritter said there was no pre-
cedent for his case because no ousted
Federal Judge has ever attacked the
legality Of his removal.
The 65-year-old former jurist would
not say when he would file his action.
He said he may carry the case to
the United States Supreme Court.
The Senate, which has removed
four Federal judges in u impeach-
ment trials; convicted Ritter of mis-
conduct charges and Of bringing his
court Into scandal and disrepute. +"
At that time it was said no appeal
was possible.
Previous statements by Ritter in
dicated he would attack the Senate
action as unconstitutional on grounds
he was convicted of a seventh "catch-
all' House impeachment count, which
he claimed embodied six other specific
charges OF which he was acquitted.
Following his conviction April 1s,
Ritter called his removal unfair and
unjust" and in a written statement
intimated it might have resulted from
his being q Republican. He was ap-
pointed to the bench in 1929 by Presi-
dent Coolidge.

.OUR-HOUR BLAZE
DEF|ES F|REMEN
Four.Story Building at 918
D Street Is Badly
Damaged.

A stubborn blaze which defled fire.
mems efforts for more than four hours
early today caused several thousands
of dollars in damage to a four-story
brick building at 9l8 D street. Sew
eral days will be required to reach q
correct estimate of the loss.
The fire is thought to have begun near
the pressing machinery of the Capital
Garment Manufacturing Co.. which
occupies the top floor. A newly COM
pleted lot of 80 dozen uniforms, ready
for shipment today to New York, was
destroyed.
While firemen confined the blaze to
this top-story spot, water which
gushed from hoses from the time OF the
arrival of the first engine at 1890 am.
to their withdrawal at 4:50 am. dam
aged the stock OF the Solway Amman
Co, a patent medicine firm on the third
floor; the B. S. Reynolds Co., a view
book and postal card mandatory oc-
cupying the second floor, and OF q
Woolworth 5-and-l0-cent store on the
first floor. Three alarms were sounded.
Employees of all three firms gath
cred at the building at 8 am. today,
ignorant of the nights events. Wool
worths opened shop, but workers Of
the Capital Garment Co., which had
only few days ago hired 90 new girls
and which was operating at full blast
for the first time in months, foresaw
an end Of activity until October.
Although the garment workers could
not enter the factory until the arrival
Of its proprietor, Nathan Plotnick, with
the key. they feared 10 new sewing
machines were destroyed as well as
the pressing equipment. which in
cluded electric irons and a steam
presser.
One fireman was treated by the res
cue squad for minor palpitation Of the
heart, but the trouble was so slight
that it was not even recorded.
The hand extinguisher which Is
part of the equipment of every fire
truck mysteriously disappeared from
Engine No. 8 while its crew was In the
building fighting the flames. Police
are searching for it.
Fire-hghting history was made IN
January, 1927, when spectator at a
fire in the same building became in
sane and ran through the city setting
nearly a score Of blazes.
1t was the busiest night Washing
ton firemen have ever experienced.
Apparatus finally had to be sum-
moned from Baltimore and nearby
sections to aid the local flreflghters.
The "firebug" was caught and sent
