PARENTAL COURT | GETS OPENHEARING In executive session this morning | the subcommittee of the House Dia jtrict committee which has been con- ducting hearings on the Free bill to establish a parental court in the Dis- (trict, with Representative Walters of ! Pennsylvania presiding. decided to ihold an open hearing Monday &t 10 { o'clock, when agents of the board of children's guardlany will be request- ed to bring records. The records, requisitioned by the i subcommittee, are to show how many mothers have been denied access to thefr children and how many did not ,know where their children are located. { This action is entirely friendly to the board of children's guardians, !representatives of which organiza- ;Ilnn have been reluctant to testify regarding the reasons why the chli- | dren were taken and kept from these {mothers. But in view of the fact that| {those who have brought the mothers | into the hearings have opened up u variety of questions, members of the | subcommittee felt that it was only | fair that the bhoard of children guardians should be allowed to br in their record: Urges Commi; i { ion to Study Work. !

Blessing to prevent the erection of a large garage adjacent to the Dean %ract in rear of 19th street between Florida and Wyoming avenues. The suit is brought by the owners of the Wyo- ming and Oakland apartments and by property owners on 19th and ad- jacent streets. Attorneys Louis A. Lent, Henry E. Davis and Hayden Johnson appear for the plaintiffs. The claim is made that the permit to erect the garage was improvident- Iy issued by order of the District Commissioners and the consent of the trustees of the trustees of the Grand Lodge of Masons, owners of the Dean tract, counted to make up the neces- sary permission from owners of 70 per-cent of the land in the squ The District assessor lacked au- thority.
