Attorney Bowie quoted the husband
IS saying he left for Pennsylvania
Saturday afternoon after a quarrel
with his wife.
Hartman returned home last night
hut police did not learn of his pres
ence until he appeared here.
The dead woman, mother of two
children, was found early yesterday
afternoon in the woods a quarter mile
from her home, near the Defense
Highway.
Beside her was a .22-caliber rifle.
She had been shot through the tenn
pie, her eyes were bruised and her
nose broken.
Investigators were divided on their
theories this morning Lutz called the
case very suspicious" and cited the
guns location, more than foot from
the body, as indicative of other than
suicide"
Also favoring the murder theory was
Prince Georges Policeman William
Gray, who was called to the scene
after the victims 10-year-old son,
Billy, found his mothers body.
Bowie, pointing out that the investi-
CATION is still in the formative stage,
declared ut looks like suicide"
An autopsy was performed late yes
terday by DR.. Aaron Dietz, Hyattsville,
who said his findings would not be
complete until powder burns on the
body had been analyzed today
Inquest Is Set.
Lutz, announcing an inquest had
been set for May Is at pm, re-
ferred to a piece of hair, found on the
gun butt, as indicating the woman
might have been struck by the weapon.
He also cited the bruises on her face,
while Bowie said these might have
been caused by the rifles conclusion.
According to Officer Gray, young
Billy told several conflicting stories
yesterday. Gray quoted neighbors as
saying that Hartman had left yester-
day morning on a motoring trip
through Pennsylvania. The husband
could not be questioned today before
Bowie and Lutz took him into con-
ference. The tragedy became known
when Billy and his 2-year-old sister
Phoebe went to the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Lake, half a mile from the Hart
man residence. The boy told Of find
ing the body and police were sum-
moned.
Sergt. Ralph Brown of the county

THE SINGLE VOTE

Yesterdays decision of the United States SUI
preme court upholdng the minimum wage law is a
victory for President Roosevelt. The earlier and
adverse decision in the New York law caused the
chief executive to make the remark that 1t created
a mo mans land" in which neither the federal
government nor the state governments could func-
ton unless the constitution itself was amended.
But now the supreme court has reversed itself.
That is its God given right.
1t is of some interest to note the courts change
of tune at time when the presidents supreme
court change proposals are being so widely dis
cussed and when the test is to come so soon in the
congress-
The vote was the usual to but Justice Rob-
erts changed sides.
In discussing the potcntalites of a single vote
on the supreme bench The New York Times says
"Somc critics of the court, and some proponents
of the presidents plan for its reorganization will
be quick to point out that the switch OF single
vote has now decided a question of large lmpor-
lance, and to ask whether democracy can afford
to entrust such power to one man.
with regard to this it must be said that there
is nothing in the presidents own plan for the re-
organization of the court which would prevent the
switch of single vote from continuing to decide
important public questions A court of Is mem
bers can divide s to 7. court of IL members
can divide to 5. The power of single vote IN
deciding any question when opinion Is closely d.
vded is the principle of majority rule. That power
runs through our whole government systcm.-Ihe

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CONSUMERS BENEFIT

Factual rcfutaton of the widely believed fal
lacy that chain stores control the retail merchan
diSng business and are driving independents tc
the wall. is found i'm a news item printed by Bust
ness Week.
In 1885, the last year for which figures arc avail
able, chain stores handled 22.S per cent of the
total retail trade volume.
phis marked decline from their best year, 1888
when they did 245 per cent of the business.
Thus, chain stores do little more than one-ffth
of the nations retailing while independent stores
do almost four-ffths.
1t is of exceptional interest that the ratio of
business done by the two groups varies but little
from year to year. and is but slightly different now
than it was in 1929.
This substantiates the contention of those ex-
perts who have studied the merchandising situation
and reached the conclusion that chain growth has
about reached its apex, and that chains will hold
their share of the business in the future but will
not materially increase it.
The fact that the chains have not gained mo-
nopoly on the merchandising field speaks well for
the independent stores of this country. When the
chains first became significant competitive influ-
ence, small percentage of independents gave
up the ghost" and adopted the easy abi that they
were doomed.
The better independents, however accepted the
chains as spur to their own advancement. They
took over chain innovations they thought good, and
appeared with additional innovations of their own,
which were adopted by the chains. They gave
more attention to cutting their operating costs, in
order to reduce prices to the consumer. They
studied better display and advertising methods.
They held and increased their clientele.
AS result under free competitive system,
both types of merchandisers have prospered, and
the consumer has reaped the benefts-Grcenville

WJASHINGTON.--The fact that
w both sides claim they have
been helped, and that the judici-
,ry issue has been clarified by the
Supreme Courts new minimum
wage decision, doesn't really mean
hat this major development
hasn't actually made the waters
nuddier.
In effect. one man has amended

A few days ago the ConStitu-
ton, according to the only au-
thoritative interpretation-that of
the Supreme Court-said states
couldn't have mipimum wage
laws for women and children.
Now the Constitution says such
avs are permissible.
The difference is that Justice
Owen J. Roberts, youngest men,
Der of the court, who voted no in
he S to 4 decision against the New
York minimum wage, now has
given his support to Washington
states minimum wage law in q
favorable to 4 decision.
This ability Of Roberts to switch
from one side to the other on such
an important issue makes him a
very important man. He becomes
