Judge Casey said that his inquiries
as to practices of the corone-'s ofnce
were part of general investigation
he Is making to ascertain why such
a high proportion Of Washington's
traffic fatality cases result in neg
ligent homicide actions in compare
son with the record Of Detroit, which
served as a model for the Districts
negligent homicide laws. In De-
troit four out Of five such cases going
to court result In convictions. while
in Washington only one out Of five
defendants are convicted, as The
Star has revealed in a comparative
study. But the study showed also
that. in 1898, Detroit had only IS
negligent homicide actions out Of
1856 traffic fatalities while Washing
ton had IS such charges out Of 81
deaths.
Agree Evidence insufficient.
Judge Casey said further that his
inquiry was prompted, in part, by a
case over which he hao presided sew
eral weeks ago. In this case Omitted
States VS.. Chester Burr Paxton) j,
David A. Hart, assistant United
States attorney, and william A. Gal
lagher, defense counsel, agreed that
there was insufficient evidence pre-
sented to establish negligence oh
the part of the driver Of the car. Mr..
Hart said: II wonder why the coro-
ner's jury sent 1t fhe case) up here :"
And Judge Casey, replying that II
do not know why it was sent here
for trial." granted defense attorneys
motion for directed verdict in be-
half of the defendant.
The 8-year-old fee payment sys-
tenn for coroners testimony, while
not secret. was known by few District
officials or residents. The coroner's
annual salary of 5000 and the dep
uty coroners' salaries of 81 800 each
(they are employed on half time
basis) are widely known since they
are included in the District budget.

Such combination salary and fee
remuneration is rare among Federal
employees, Justice Department ex-.
perts on these matters said that, so
far as they knew, there were no
other Government workers paid on
combination basis, all Federal en-
ployes being, so far as they were in
formed, either on straight salaries
or, as in the case of referees In

Crowds Will Jam
D. T.. This Week End
For Blossom Festival
Tens of Thousands
Of Visitors to Descend
On Capital

Tens of thousands Of persons from
cities and hsmletS all ever the coun-
try will descend on Washington
this week end to view the japanese
cherry blossoms. Final preparations
were completed today for the 1910
cherry blossom festival on the shores
Of the Tidal Basin.
Curtis Hodges, director Of pro-
motion of the Greater National
Capital Committee Of the Board of
Trade, estimated that the number
Of out-of- town visitors might total
100000. He based his estimate on
the record breaking number Of in
quiries he has received from all
parts Of the country.
Railroads serving the Capital
were preparing for one of their
heaviest week ends. Baltimore &
Ohio passenger officials said they
have scheduled numerous special
trains, In addition to their regular
week end excursion trips.
Greatest Influx Due Saturday.
Special trains from points in
Ohio. West Virginia, Pennsylvania
and New York are expected to ar
rive in time for the opening cere-
mony of the cherry blossom festival
the coronation of Queen Rose Col
hdower Friday evening. But the
greatest influx of out-of-town vis-
itors is not expected until Saturday.
Fears that the blossoms might not
arrive in time for the festival were
quieted once and for all today, when
the first buds appeared. But it was
no surprise to Edward Kelly, ad-
ministrative assistant to the super
intendent Of the National Capital
parks, who has been promising all
along that the blossoms would be In
full bloom by Friday.
Somewhat cooler weather is fore
cast for tonight, but experts said
that nothing short of frost could
keep the blossoms from full bloom
two days hence. The forecast calls
for warmer weather and possibly
showers tomorrow. The minimum
temperature tonight is expected to
be about 40 degrees.
Opening Day Program.
Col. David McCoach, jr., District
Engineer Commissioner, has been
chosen to crown the queen during
the coronation ceremony Friday at
7:50 pm. The complete program
for the opening day Of the festival
has been announced by the Festival
Committee, as follows:

tan Police Boys Club Band.

Millin emphasized the injustice that
the Keller Nichols amendment
would work on deserving men and
women by denying them not only
civil service status, but the right to
be transferred or promoted. She
also brought out that the commits
sion would be required to hold an
examination for every job for which
the registers contained no eligibles
from those States which are under
quota.
Commissioner Arthur s. Flemming
told the committee that some criti-
cis1n had been directed at the bill be-
cause 1t provided for bringing the
workers under civil service by nom
competitive examinations. but that
the commission standards for these
tests are as high as those for the
competitive examinations.
Since June, 1898, he said, the COM
mission has been conducting nom
competitive examinations for en-
ployes brought under civil service by
President Roosevelt's blanket order
and % per cent of these have failed
to meet the requiremntS.
Both President Mitchell and
Luther G. Steward, president Of the
National Federation Of Federal Em-
ployes, urged that w. p. A. workers

VOLS AND EAGLES
BOTH CONFIDENT
'Opposites' Are Pitted In, New
Orleans Sugar Bowl On
January l
BY MORTIMER KREEGER

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2S.-P-
Both the Tennessee and Boston Col
lege football teams are supremely
certain they will win the Sugar
Bowl game January 1 but the diff
ference in the way they display their
confidence is amazing.
The Tennesseans, used to then
own might after three unbeaten sea-
sons and two previous bowl games,
are reluctant to discuss the coming
conflict as they go through their
training PAGES at nearby Edgewater
Park, Miss.
Courteous, calm and aloof but
not cocky - they sit around the
hotel lobby playing checkers and
talking little even among themselves.
But at their training quarters in
Bay ST.. Louis, Miss, also on the
Gulf coast, the Boston College Eagles
are like schoolboys who have just
heard the recess bell.
Their spare moments are crowded
with mutual kidding and ~horseplay'
They swarm through the town, stop
ping at cafes to tell the mattresses
how pretty they are and CROWD
around the hotel desk trying tt
date the switchboard operator.
They'll talk about the game and
predict sure victory, but b%oisterous
ly and not arrogantly.
In practice the Vols r serious
almost grim. They go through the
most important work in strict Sc
crecy with even Tennessee news
papermen and the university pub
licity director barred from the field
The Eagles take the stiffest scrim
mage in a spirit of fun, with jokes
and jibes between every two plays
But when the ball is snapped they
tear into each other with a vigol
that keeps the trainer dashing onto
the field to inspect a battered nose
or dashed head.
Even the physical appearance is
in contrast. The T%ennesseeans run
to uniformity, with few men owe
200 pounds and none very much
over that. The Eagles vary ron
the towering six-foot-five, 235-pound
Chef Gladchuk and the corpulent
25O-pound John Yauckoes to slight
Charley O'Rourke and short Frank
Maznicki.
