EDUCATION BOARD
UPHELD BY COURT
Power to, Change Requirements
Within Its Rights. Jus.
tice Declares.

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today refused to order the
Board Of Education to appoint Miss
Charlotte Corbin as a teacher Of
Latin in the colored public schools
here and at the same time took
occasion to censure the board for the
lack Of system, discipline and order
in its affairs"
The case concerned refusal of the
board to appoint Miss Corbin to q
vacancy at the Terrell Junior High
School late in 1884. The board justi-
fed its refusal by saying she did not
meet certain eligibility requirements.
The Court of Appeals explained the
eligibility requirements were changed
while Miss Corbin was taking the ex-
animation for the eligibility list.
We hold" said Associate Justice
D. Lawrence Groner that the board
had the legal power to change the
eligibility rules from time to time
as it thought wise and proper. and
while it may be remarked that it
is irregular and most unusual to
change a rule in the middle of an
examination. still nothing appears
anywhere to challenge the absolute
right Of the board to do this very
thing"

NO PUBLIC PROTESTS
ON RULES ARE RECEIVED
Change Expected to Make Flying
at Field Possible Except in
Most Adverse Weather.

New landing and take-off regula-
tlons. which will affect all airlines
operating out of Washington and are
expected to ease the difIicult airport
situation temporarily. went into eff
feet today.
Promulgated by the Bureau of Air
Commerce after a long study of the
Washington Airport problem, the new
regulations replace emergency rules
which went into effect September Z
and have been a source OF constant
dispute since that time
The new regulations are expected
to make flying possible at the airport
except during periods OF the most
adverse winds and wea ther, when
temporary transfer to Boiling Field
will become necessary.
Tighten Earlier Restrictions.
Although the new regulations have
been extended to take in the Boeing
transports operated by Pennsylvania
Airlines, they tighten the restrictions
imposed by the September 7 regula.
tions on both types of Douglas air.
liners used by Eastern Airlines and
American Airlines.
Under the new rules the Douglas
types. formerly restricted entirely to
the long runway at Washington Air.
port, will be permitted to use both
the long and short runways and to
operate from unpaved portions q the
airport provided they do not Use a
section Of the field shorter than the
paved runways.
The Boeings. unrestricted under
the old regulations, will not be per-
mitted to operate after today from
the short runway when the wind
velocity along the runway falls be-
low Is miles per hour or when the
angle Of the wind with the runway
exceeds IS degrees.
In the case OF the Douglas DC-2 and
DC-3 types. the long runway may
be used at all times provided the wind
direction is suitable. The short run
way may be used for daytime land
ings and take-offs under wind condi-
tfons similar to those prescribed for
the Boeings, under maximum load
restrictions. Gross weight for the
DC-2 is fixed at 1900 pounds and
for the DC-3 at $4,000 pounds.
Neither type may use the short run
way at night.
No Protests Made.
No public protests against the new
regulations have been made by any

EXTREME PENALTY.
RIGHT IS UPHELD.
Corporation Counsel Wins
Point in Maximum Fines
and Sentences Cases.

The United States Court Of Appeals
today upheld the right of the corpora
ton counsel's Office to prosecute cases
involving maximum penalties in both
flnes and jail sentences.
This right had been questioned BY
Attorney T. Edward O'Connell in
motion to quash a second -of1ense reck-
less driving charge against Byron
Meyer. 1925 Ames place NV. who was
the first person ever convicted here OF
operating a street car in a reckless
manner. Convicted a year ago on the
street car charge. he was arrested
about six months ago and charged
with driving an automobile recklesslv.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
George d. Nelson. who had prosecuted
the first case. issued reckless driving
papers in the second. Then Mr.
OConnell. citing a provision OF the
code as Of the early part OF the CEN
tury, in which it said that all persons
charged with an offense carrying
maximum penalty of both a fine and
Jail sentence must be tried by the dis
trict attorneys office. filed a motion to
quash on those grounds.
Judge Walter J. Casey, before whom
the motion was made. refused to rule
on the question and certified 1t directly
to the Court Of Appeals. which handed
down its decision today.
Mr.. Nelson and Assistant Corpora-
ton Counsel Vernon E. West argued
before the appellate court that the
old provision had been superseded by
the traf1c code with respect to traffic
cases. This contention was upheld.
Had the appellate court decided
otherwise. the Police Court Office Of
the corporation counsel would have
virtually been wiped out. since it could
have no longer prosecuted any cases
except those Of very minor nature.

tne capital transit 60. Tor tranSpOr-
taton. The point has been made that
the poor man often does not have so
cents he can afford to turn over to
street car conductor for six tokens:
or, in other words, pay for six rides in
advance
The commission. however. accord
ing to Richmond B. Keech. vice
chairman. answered that argument
before it was even advanced, It
maoe a serious study OF the question:
Shall it be three for a quarter, or
six for so cents?"
First of all. Mr. Keech said. the
commission reached the conclusion
the sale OF three tokens for a quarter
would slow up service. especially on
one-man cars. II would mean. he
said. that a conductor would have to
sell a regular passenger three tokens
every other day instead of every
fourth day.
Another factor. however. Mr.. Keech
explained. is that only the casual
rider" would be benefited by the three
for-a-quarter rate. And since mass
transportation system is not operat ted
Tor the casual rider" the commission,
he said, turned to the six for so cents
rate.
Yet Mr. Keech has another argu-
ment in favor OF the six-for 50-cents
rate. 1t is his answer to the one that
a poor man is unable to spare so
cents at any particular time for trans
portation.
Domestics. who probably constitute
the most regular class of bus and
street car patrons. he pointed out.
invariably buy pass and pay out
$125 instead OF 50 cents.
