UPHOLD PRESENT ELIGIBILITY LAW| Citizens - Protest Change in Regulations Governing Choice of D. C. Heads. Aroused by recent statements that President Coolidge is hampered by the existing eligibllity law governing the appointment of District Commission- ers in appointing some one to take the place of Commissioner Rudolph, the Georgetown Citizens' Association last night, at a meeting in the Poto- nac Savings Bank Building, voted to oppose any change in the existing Jaws governing the appointment of ¢Commissioners. The body approved fn substance a. motfon regarding the law as offered by John Hadley Doyle, but due to cer- tain strongly worded phrases in it voted to have the resolution edited by rnembers of the executive committee before submitting it to members of Congress and other authorities. Resolution Vigorously Debated. The adoption of the resolution fol- Jowed strong debate against any change in the three-year tatned in the existing law. The clause states that a person has to be a three- wear legal resident of the District to be eligible for appointment as Com- missioner. Mr. Doyle in introducing the orig- fnal motion stated that ‘‘a movement 18 on foot to change the order of| things and throw the office of com- yissionership Into the common vortex ot politics for the benefit of l.xme ducks’ from the various States George W. Offutt declared: ““We vave very few rights mow. Let us Leep what we have and fight for nore,” adding: “It is an insult to the stelligence of the people of the Dis- rict for the President or anybody clge to say that they can't find avail- nble materinl for Commissioners { among those who have hofll citizens n¢ the District three years.’ Fenry W. Draper, joining the de- hat, stated: "It is trespassing on the tuherent rights of the District to go 3 for a man to fill so important ition us that of District Commis- sloner.

FOND DU LAC, Wis., October 26.—01d Bill Maxwell has rounded out his 54th year at the State Prison at Waupan. He is 86 years old and is spending his last days in the infirmary, awaiting death. Maxwell is a man of mystery, and has never spoken unless spoken to. More than half a century ago he was convicted of killing a man in a quarrel over a woman and a sheriff saved him from being lynched by a crowd that had strung him to a tree. Since then he has refused to ask for a pardon, and has expressed a wish that he might die in prison. He has not seen the outside world for more than haif a century, has never seen a prison ball game or a movie and he has never attended chapel.

He added that he belleved the minds of the people would become more com- posed on the liquor question if once the issue was squarely put to them. Senator Williams said the people should not be beguiled by any sug- gestion that there is any reasonable prospect of the modification of the Volstedd act. He said there can be no half-way ground if the Constitu- tion is to be upheld. ° “I was oposed to national prohibi- tion as an endeavor on the part of our Government to control the indi- vidual citizens of the United States in their social habits.
