"On the other hand, the local
authorities, under stimulus from

Of ill-housing. The active pro.

barked promises to end the more

Great Britain's advance in home
building was not a government

HEARING IS LISTED
ON FISH SALE ACT
Protests Against Ban on Hucksters
to Be Heard by D. c.
Officials.

Protests against new police regu-
lation banning the sale of fish from
hucksters' wagons will be heard this
week by committee of District off,
cials named yesterday by the Com
missioners.
The new rule, adopted at the rec
ommendation of Health Officer George
c. Rutland, is scheduled to become
effective Sunday.
A committee Of three was named
to make further investigation after
the Commissioners received written
protests from Commissioner Frank T.
Bell of the Bureau of Fisheries and
from David A. Faunce, secretary of
the Wholesale Sea Food Distributors
OF Washington. Members of the in
vestigating group are Edward w.
Thomas. assistant corporation counsel;
Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, assistant
superintendent of police, and DR.. r.
r. Ashworth, director of the food
inspection division of the Health De-
partment.
Commissioner Bell declared the pro-
posed rule would throw about $50 fish
vendors out of employment, hurt the
business of wholesale dealers and the
related trades, such as ice manufac-
ture and trucking He added that
according to Investigations made by
his bureau large volume of fish is
sold by the vendors at very reason
able prices and in good condition" to
the poorer residents of the District.
His bureau is interested in the COM

TRAFFIC is REROUTED
AT CAPITOL GROUNDS
Effort Made to Relieve Congestion
Caused by Three-Way Light at
First and independence,

Automobile traffic will be rerouted
through the Capitol grounds starting
tomorrow to relieve congestion caused
by a three-way traffic light at First
street and Independence avenue SW.
The south roadway of the Capitol
grounds, now one-way for east-bound
traff1c, will be changed to a one-way
thoroughfare for west-bound traffic.
The north roadway will remain one
way for east-bound traffic.
The change will enable east-bound
traffic to pass through the Capitol
grounds from First street and B street
Sc to the foot of Capitol Hill, instead
Of using right-of-way Of the Capital
Transit Co. down Capitol Hill. At
present, no west-bound traffic is per-
mitted through the Capitol grounds.
The three-way light at Independence
avenue and First street S.W. has re-
suited in serious traffic jams during
the morning rush hours, which have
tied up both the automobiles and
street cars for several blocks. There
is a special green light at that point
for both through traffic and traffic
turning right into First street. Since
there is only one traffic lane for west
bound traffic on Independence avenue
bordering the Capitol grounds and
that on the car tracks, an automobile
waiting for signal to continue out
Independence avenue ties up all traf-
fic behind that could make a right
turn into First street.

As DriUer Writes
Easily il, Court

A baffled Traffic Department exam
iner who gives driver permit tests is
about ready to believe that Clarence
Evans. "a, colored, charged in Traffic
Court today with obtaining a permit
by Misrepresentation, learned to write
in four days.
R. r. Schlemer Of the Motor Vehicle
Department and Policeman r. A. Cum
ningham told Judge Hobart Newman
that the defendant came to apply for
a duplicate Saturday, having lost his
original, but could not write when re-
quested to fill in the application. The
original application was pulled from
the files and the penmanship was in
clear, bold strokes The charge Of
Misrepresentation was placed against
Evans on the supposition that another
person had filled in the original.
Evans, pleading not guilty, was put
to test by the court today. He was
handed an application blank, given a
pen and told to 90 to it. The court
went on hearing other cases.
In q few moments, Evans leaned up
from his labors with triumphant
look. The card was handed Judge
Newman and the penmanship COM
pared with the original.
1T looks the same to me-" Judge
Newman said, dismissing the case.

points and authorities in opposition
to the plaintiffs motion for a tempo

case; that the plaintiffs have an ade-
quate remedy and that they will not
suffer irreparable damage, and that
decisions of the Supreme Court have
held United States District Courts
have no jurisdiction to enjoin hear
ings Of the National Labor Relations
Board. The memorandum asserted
that the United States Court of Ap-
