q proposal by health authorities to

This action was taken on a motion
by Charles Consaul, who suggested
regulation but not prohibition of this
legitimate activity by persons of linn
tied means struggling to make a salts

In the community requests was a
proposal for inclusion in the 1910
budget of funds for improving the
Piney Branch sewer which was pro-
vided for last week by p. w. A.

Other projects asked were: Paving
Of an alley at the west end of Harvard

keep coming into his Office and de-

could bring his cases to trial. he might

it is, he often finds his time occupied
to no purpose with people who keep
crying for action but can't want it
half as badly as he does.
Il don't know how things stand in

Attorney Jean Boardman, another

Delay works a further hardship

LUHR|NG SPEAKS
ON LEGAL RULES
Talk for Benefit of District
Lawyers Ends Series
eesS-
of Lectures. =

A special talk by District Court JUS
tice Oscar Luhring for the benefit of
attorneys practicing in Washington
closed yesterday the American Bar
Associations three-day lecture series
on the meaning of the new rules gov
erning procedure in Federal courts.
These rules are of peculiar interest
to the members of the bar Of the
District of Columbia, Justice Luhring
said They work a radical change,
and they affect every lawyer in Wash
ington. They serve to change the hab-
its of lifetime
The lectures were given at the United
States Chamber of Commerce Build
ing under the auspices of the bar asso-
cations Institute on Federal Rules.
Almost 1000 lawyers from Washing
ton, Maryland and Virginia attended
the sessions. The rules under explana-
ton were put into force September Is.
has Du9l JuIISOiCtlOU.
Justice Luhring, who stated def
nitely his espousal of the new rules.
reminded the lawyers that the District
Court here has dual jurisdiction, CIV
ing it authority not only in matters
affecting Federal law but in local mat
ters, which In State would be in the
province of q State court.
"Out in the States" the justice said,
"the ordinary lawyer seldom gets into
Federal courts. But here practically
all lawyers get there"
The justice said the new rules SIM
plify procedure. He remarked that
they do away with many of the Latin
terms brought into the language OF
the law over the centuries through
the usage of the common law. He add
ed. however, that the new rules retain
yestiges of common law terminology,
saying: ..-.......
These gentlemen (the trainers OF
the rules) have ended the song OF the
common law, but the melody fingers
on"
MAY AmcAO n0ACSs
Justice Luhring pointed out that the
District Court has its own rules based
on the Federal rules, and said, 1T may
be necessary for the District Court
to amend particular rules from time
to time"
Judge George Donworth, member
of the committee which advised with
the Supreme Court on the rule changes,
remarked to the lawyers at the School
that in at least one particular the
rules conflict with District statute.
The rules, which rest on Federal
statute themselves, Judge Donworth
observed, call for the eliminating Of
the writ Scire Facias, a device for
enabling a lawyer to renew a judgment
at the end of 12-year periods A law
still on the books stipulates that 3cire
Facias be used in courts in WASH
ington. a
THE courts have ample power to find
their way out of this difficulty" Judge
Donworth said. ...

Awaiting Wife
Costs MOtOrist
Fine This Time

Judge John p. McMahon's warning
IN Traffic Court Friday that husbands
should make their wives wait few
minutes rather than block traffic by
parking in a restricted zone, apparently
has had little effect.
Yesterday another husband came
INTO court for the same offense. This
time it was Robert Slater, 43, of 10
Rhode Island avenue NV, who was
given = ticket by Motor Cycle Oficer
HAfren Regan of the Traffic Depart
ment while parking in the 900 block
OF r street NV. between 4 and
pm.
The defendant told Judge Hobart
Newman he was waiting for his wife,
who had gone into a department
store. Mr.. Slater said he had been
parked only about one minute when
the oficer gave him the ticket.
Judge Newman fined him S3
Friday similar case came up be-
fore Judge John p Mcmahon. who
told the defendant, Charles H. Binkley
OF Lanham. Md, he will lust have
TO let his wife wait a minute or two
from now on. The court took Mr..
Binkley's personal bond.

five years practical experience in cos
metology practices, also may revoke
or suspend the persons license. An
appeal from any action of the board
may be taken to the District Commis-
sioners, whose decision shall be final.
There are number of cosmetologists
whose clientele has been composed al
most exclusively of ladies who prefer
to have their beautifying done in their
own homes instead Of beauty shop.
But to their queries about the new
regulations, the board has only one
answer: They must either become
connected with . beauty shop er they
can't be licensed,

as sections in need of improvements.

and 1,130 jury cases ready for trial on
the civil side-one of the heaviest CAL
endars on record, although the court
prior to 1881 was often as much as
three years behind.
With three justices, including the
newly appointed Bolitha ]. Laws, as
signed to the criminal division, the

up to date by the first of the year
The criminal side goes to work to-
morrow on about $40 untrisd cases,
less than half the task which con-

Has Outgrown District Court.
While many attorneys complain Bit
terly of the delay in getting hearing
on civil cases, few can find fault with
the manner in which the court func-
tions under extraordinary pressure.
As one attorney put it: washington
simply has outgrown the District
Court. The New Deal has increased
both population and litigation with
its many new Federal agencies.
I'VE hope, however, that the four
new judges authorized by the last
Congress will relieve the situation. We
hope further that all are appointed
soon!"
Justice Laws was appointed and his
appointment approved shortly after
Congress authorized three new judges
in District Court and one in the
Court of Appeals. sThe remaining va
cancies probably will not be filled
until the next session of Congress.
Meanwhile, judges, attorneys, jurors,
witnesses and litigants cope as best
they can with that No. enemy of
justice-delay.
But hear an attorney who specializes
in domestic relations:
"The other day one of my clients
came into my ofnce to ask when his

YOUTHS HUNTED
|NHOLD-UP SERIES
Ice Cream Store, Filling
Station and Hamburger
Shop Robbed.

A general police lookout was broad
cast early today for two youthful
bandits believed involved in series
of armed robberics earlier in the
night.
One of the hold ups occurred at an
ice cream store in the 800 block Of
Upshur street NV, where Detective
Sergt. John A. Cation was seriously
wounded in . gun battle with three
bandits 10 months ago.
The two youths also were believed
responsible for the robbery Of filling
station at l411 North Capitol street
early last night, while q companion
waited nearby, and a hamburger shop
at Fifth street and Florida avenue
NE. at o'clock this morning.
One Of the bandits, holding revol-
yer, forced Harold Dickinson, counter
man at the shop, to stand against q
wall while the other took SIS from
the cash register. In each Of the rob-
berries the bandits escaped in an auto
mobile parked near the scene Of the
hold-up.
Sergt. Cston on Duty.
Sergt. Cation had gone on duty last
night shortly before the robbery of the
ice cream store and had he not moved
from his old address on Upshur street,
probably would have been passing the
store as he was when he surprised the
hold-up men last year.
The armed youth held Ethel Schu-
maker, 1924 New Hampshire avenue
NV, at pistol point while his COM
panion took 81 from the cash drawer.
The pair fled in an automobile.
Sergt. Cation was shot four times,
while he wounded two of the bandits
last year and spent three months in
Walter Reed Hospital and four months
at home before he recuperated sufici-
emily to return to active duty. He
wounded two Of the bandits and the
third was captured shortly after the
attempted hold-up. The omcer was
promoted from q precinct detective to
his present rank q few days after the
gun battle.
Bandit Brandishes Gun.
Wade Dicks. 80. proprietor of the
station, told police two youths, one
brandishing q revolver, entered the
station while the third waited outside
The trio fled through an alley and
escaped IN an automobile parked on
nearby P street, officers were told. In
spector Bernard w. Thompson, chief
Of detectives, said he believed they are
the same three bandits who have been
operating in the District for more than
week.
Principal loser among three. victims
of purse snatchers was Matte Cole
man, colored, of 1901 v street NV,
who said colored man fied with her
purse containing $40 she had just
drawn in postal savings from a post
ONCE in the 1400 block of U street NV.
