When whisky in a stuffy display
window Of a liquor store at 1918

The proprietor of the store. Bern

occurrence on an explosion of one Of
the bottles. At any rate, bottles

POLICE COURT HITS
RIDER IN D. c. BILL
Jobs Put in Jeopardy Under
New Supervision Program.
SPACE Question Arises.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.

~. Ai>cNILA'
The rider inserted in the District
appropriation bill. by which the Dis
trict Commissioners are given super
vision and control over all buildings
belonging to the District, is causing
considerable consternational among
the judges and some employees at Police
Court.
Not only are the jobs of the pres
ent operating force thrown in jeopardy
by the clause, which was inserted in
the section dealing with public health
appropriations. but fear has been eX-
pressed that the Commissioners may
commander some parts of the new
building, now under construction, for
uses other than those for which the
building was designed.
In stressing the latter point. one
OF the judges pointed out that the
third floor of the building was de-
signed for further expansion of the
court as the need arises and it is
the general belief of court officials
That the placing of some other agency
IN this space would interfere with this
program.
Trained in Using Equipment.
In viewing the possible effect on per-
sonnel, it was explained that the Po-
lice Court engineer and his assistant
are both trained in ir-conditionine
operation. which would constitute a
considerable part of their work in the
new, modern building. Politics, it is
feared, might cause the loss of these
two men. both of whom are highly re-
earded by the judges, and their re-
placement by others chosen by the
District Commissioners.
Employees who might be affected by
the change in the act are engineers
Janitors. charwomen and others en-
gagged in the actual operation of the
building Court clerks and bailiffs
would remain on patronage basis
The belief has been expressed by
two of the judges that the rider is i'm
properly attached to the act. Prev
lously it was pointed out, such pro-
vision, aimed at the new Police Court
building, had been deleted from the
act in both the Senate and House In
fact, judges of the court were not
aware it had been reinserted for some
time because the provision was in
serted after the Health Department
I appropriation and not after or in the
court appropriation
Money to Police Court.
Another queer point that has arisen
Is that the money for the operation
OF the new building is designated di-
rectly to the Police Court and not
to the District Commissioners for ex-
penditure.
The belief is being freely expressed
that the rider was improperly placed
In the act when it was before the Con-
gressional Conference Committee
Since both the Senate and House had
voted exclusion Of the provision that
brings the Police Court under District
jurisdiction. it was not among the
controversial points of difference for
consideration by the Conference Com
mittee and is therefore illegal, accord
Ing to several court officials.
Information gathered at the court
house indicates long and bitter con-
troversy on the subject before District
, jurisdiction becomes an actual fact.
