BOBBED-HAIR BANDIT FACES SANITY TEST Alienists Named to Examine Celia Cooney and Husband—Plea to Be Changed. By the Associated Prese. NEW YORK, April 28.—Examina- tion of the mental condition of Celia Cooney, bobbed-hair bandit, and her husband Edward is to be made by two commissioners appointed by County Judge Martin in Brooklyn to- day. Decision to appoint a commission to examine Cooney was reached last week following information that Cooney's Tather ~ died in an insane asylum fifteen years ago and that the prisoner had shown mental deficiency. Judge Martin decided to appoint a commission to examine the young woman also when he learned that a motion probably would be made to have her plea of guilty set aside to enable her to go on trial on a defense of temporary insanity. T ACT VALIDITY ATTACKED. D. C. Supreme Court Hears Argu- ment Against Rent Law. Chief Justice McCey and Justices Stafford and Siddons of the District Bupreme Court today heard argu- ments of counsel on the question of the constitutionality of the Ball rent act. The question is raised by At- torneys Conrad H. Syme and Blaine Mallan, representing the owmers of the, Portnes properties, on U street. The claim is made that the Ball act contravenes the fifth amegdment of the Constitution In failing to provide 2 judicial review of the facts as well as the law invelved in a rent case. Counsel for ihe landlord cited a de- cision of the United States Supreme Court_rendered June 1, 1920, in the Ohio Valley Water Company case by Justice McReynolds. There the court eld that a statute of the state of Pennsylvania was unconstitutional because it denied the right of judicial review of the facts. Under the Ball rent act appeal is permitted from a determination of the commission to the District Supreme Court sitting in genefal term only on points of law and no review of the facts isprovided.

Efforts will be made by Engineer Commissioner Bell to have the Sen- ate restore the $5.000 cut from the allotment for trees and parkings by the House subcommittes on District appropriations. The budget bureau recommended $60,000 for this service for the next fiscal year, but when the meadure was reported to the House it carried only $55,000 for that purpose. Maj. Bell regards the system of shade trees as one of the attractions of the National Capital and is anxious fo do everything possible to prevent their gradual destruction. That the trees have been slipping backward both in numbers and in care because of inadequate appro- priationa to maintain them has been emphasized by Clifford Lanham, su- perintendent of that work for sev- eral years past. Maj. Bell pointed out this morning that the office of trees and parkings is one in which a small increase in the appropriation will make a mno- ticeable improvement in the results obtained.

The railroad company contended that inasmuch as the cars with de- fective brakes were in each instance cut out of the power brakes system controlled from the locomotive of the train without impairing the engineer's control over the train, it was not nec- essary to stop for immediate repairs at the nearest repair station.

Public Welfare Expert May Recom- mend Important Changes. A careful study of the Juvenile Court law of the District will be undertaken by Willlam Hodson, ex- pert consultant 1o the commisgsion on public welfure tegisiation, who re- turned to the city today. It is probable that one of the im- portant changes in the law to be con- sidered will be the question of estab- lishing a new method of procedure, whereby proceedings in the Juvenile Court will be of an equity nature that would not leave a criminal rec- ord against the child. Before any definite steps are taken to recommend a new law the commis- sion will follow its past policy of in- viting the public to make suggestions and constructive criticisms at a pub- lic hearing. The commission hae al- ready drafted and submitted to Con- gress a bill creating a board of pub- lic welfare for the District, a bill to extend financial aid to dependent children in their own homes and a compulsery school attendance meas- ure.
