Afier hear- ing the evidence on the reckless driv- ing count, Judge Robert E., Mattingly announced he would not hand down his decision until after the findings of the Police Trial Board and a verdict of the Jjury had been made known. The jury case was tentatively set for Wednesday. Lieut. Rene R. Studler, 2900 Connec- ticut avenue, testified that Nees had hit the rear of his car on BSeventeenth street in Potomac Park about 4:30 on March 31. The policeman's conversa- tion was incoherent, the lieutenant tes- tified, adding that Nees showed his gun and badge as evidence of his being an officer, ~As Studler moved his car to gr.cvent blocking traffic Nees is said to ve returned fo his machine and driven away. E. T. Pinnigan and Willlam B. Bailey, witnesses, gave the court an account of the oceurrance similar to that of Lieut. Studler. Willlam R.

The Interior Department today was the rendezvous for numerous employers in the District of Columbla who are anxious to obtain information on the new District compensation law for workers in private industry, which goes into effect on July 1. ‘The United JStates employes’ compensation com- mission, which will administer the law, announced today that the first list of authorized insurance companies, le- walized to write policies under the law, will likely be issued Wednesday and now is being assembled. About 40 reliable insurance firms will be authorized to write this new business, it was sald at the commission, and it is estimated that 10,000 employers must comply with this new legislation, Variance in Policy Rates. Rates for the policy will vary, it was said, according to the classification of work done, the rate being fixed on a percentage of the pay roll, according to the hazard of the work. It was ex- plained unofficially that for clerks en- gaged in office work the rate would be approximately one-tenth of 1 per cent of the pay roll, while very hazardous work might run as high as 15 per cent of the pay roll. The commission has advised some 18,000 persons in the District who pre- sumably might fall within the scope of the law that insurance should be ob- tained by June 15, “as the law does not excuse any one from having everything done before the first day of July.” A deputy commissioner of the United States Employes’ Compensation Com- mission will be appointed soon to ad- minister the law, hold hearings when necessary, make awards which the in- surance company must pay, and gener- ally see that the employe gets what he is entitled to and that justice is done. Scope of New Law. ‘Employers employing one 6r more per- sons will be subject to the law, unless the employe is engaged in agriculture, or domestic service, or by certain com- mon carriers by railroad or as master or member of the crew of any vessel. Employers failing to insure their work- ers by July 1, will be guilty of a mis- demeanor, the commission pointed out, and be liable to a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, in the discre- tion of the court. By an employer taking & policy, the commission explained, an insurance company agrees to pay an employer the weekly benefits, not exceeding $25 a week, being generally two-thirds of his pay, while disabled by an accidental injury arising out of and in the course of his employment. Death Benefits Included. Also to pay benefits in case of death to the widow, children and dependent relatives. The commission added that the total to be pald does not exceed $7,500, including $200 funeral expenses when an employe dies from the injury | and in the case of non-fatal injury the insurance company pays all pital, medical and surgical expenses. Gov- ernment employes are taken care of by other legislation.

Ralph C. Browne of Salem, Mass,, was awarded priority of invention to- day by the Distridt of Columbia Court of Appeals for the Mark VI type of undersea mines which proved so effec- tive during the World War in disposing of hostile vessels. This type of mine formed the substance of the North Sea barrage planted in the latter part of the war, extending from the north of Scotland to Norway, which assisted in preventing the egress of enemy sub- marines from the North Sea and re- duced submarine destructiveness toward the end of the war. Interference had been established by John K, M. Harrison of Ogontz, Pa. who had been a naval Inspector to supervise the manufacture of Browne's mines at Cambridge, Mass, Seven counts of interference were specified and the Commissioner of Patents held three of them in favor of Harrison, dissolved one and held the remaining three in favor of Browne. The appellate court reversed the ac- tion of the Commissioner in reference to the points held in Harrison's favor, and in an opinion of Chief Justice George E. Martin declares the Harrison de- vice to be merely a substitution of a “direct firing” device for the “relay eir- cuit” in Browne's invention. The de- cision of the Commissioner as to the points in favor of Browne is affirmed. Browne's discovery was made during the World War and provided by means of antennae of wire from a submerged mine to a float near the surface of the water to form a battery when the steel hull of the submarine came in contact with the float and caused the explosion of the mine without the enemy’s vessel actually hitting the mine. By means of the invention large areas of the sea could be covered with a small number of mines. It was reported tha: in connection with the North Sea ba: rage the number of mines needed was reduced two-thirds. CHOSEN BY ASSOCIATES. Rev. William J. Seelye Heads Pres- byterian Ministers’ Body.

Another $1,000 to meet bills not pre- sse.r;dud as yet would cover everything, he Woodyard said these contributions had been received through James Good Jf the Hoover national organization. The witness was pressed for the basis f & newspaper interview he gave in West Virginia as to expenditures made or Senator Goff. He said, however, that he had no specific knowledge, but had based his assertion as to large expendi= ures on “my general experience in poli- l“tcst“ and what was going on in the State.

Clyde B. Johnson of Charleston, W. Va., who described himself as an “anti-Smith” Democratic candidate for delegate at large, told the committee he knew nothing of expenditures for Sen< ator Reed of Missouri, in West Virginia, beyond the fact that he had paid for the armory in which Reed spoke in Charleston in April, costing $100. He was not a “Reed man,” Johnson said, merely “against the New York Gov- ernor.” Instructed Voters. ‘Woodyard said he was “reasonably cer- tain” that there had been no sub- stantial Hoover expenditures in counties of the State which were not covered by the State headquarters’ accounts he presented. He agreed to furnish infor- mation on that subject at later date. “We did not cover all of the counties,” he added. Senator Bratton discovered amonz ‘Woodyard's papers a voucher for $30 to pay for “instructing” voters in mark- ing ballots. The witness said he had not known of such an expenditure, but recalled that he had talked once with some of his aides about the wisdom of doing this. “We had a long and complicated bal- lot, with everything on it, including constables,” Woodyard said. He added that this was not in regard to “colored voters' particularly, but to all those who “couldn’t read.” The idea, he said, was “to show them how to vote for Hoover.” $3,700 for Advertising.
