The District Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Justise Van Orsdel today, upheld the will of Percy Metzger, a! lawyer, who provided that a hospital should be founded and maintained from the income from his estate, worth not more than $75.000. Some of his heirs claimed that the time when the ac- cumutated income would be sufficient to establish and support the hospital is so remote that the trust should be de- clared void, as against the rule of per- petuities. In refuting this contention the appel- late court declares that, “while the will is inartificially drawn, we think it can be upheld and the intention of the testator, as stated in the provisions ex- pressing his desire to establish a me- morial hospital, can be so construed as reasonably to admit of execution. The may be established upon a very limited and economical basis, with |a view to future extension and develop- ment as_the income will permit or as gifts or legacies may be left to aid in enlarging and carrying on the charita- ble work that the testator had in mind.” The will named the National Bank of Victor H. Wallace, Mrs. Vellie L. Coakley, D. Irving Coakley and George O. Walson as trustees and au- thorized them to form & corporation to establish the Percy Metzger Memorial Presbyterian Fund for the hospital. POLICE COURT CLERKS . LACK WARRANT POWER Justice Robb Holds Authority to Issue Writs Held by Magistrates. The clerk and deputy clerks of Police Court are without authority to issue warrants of arrest, according to a de- cision of the Distirct Court of Appeals | rendered_today by Justice Charles H. Robb affirming the conviction and of 18 months in the peni- imposed on David Zerega, who ested February 17, 1928, at his 900 block of E street, and convicted of setting up a gaming table where bets might be placed on the result of horse racing. The issuance of a warrant is a ju- dicial act, the court explained, which tentiar; was ar thorized by law. While the court had held in a previous decision that a al Court clerk in Ohio, having atus there of a magistrate, could issue warrants, no such authority is conferred upon the clerk and deputy | clerks of the Police Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia. “This, decision, it 1s expected, will have the effect of upsetting the practice in the Police Court and adding to the duties of the four judges of the court. ever, it did not save Zerega from & term of imprisonment, because the court found that he had been arrested while engaged in the commission of & felony in the presence of the police otticer, for which no warrant was nec- Hrl‘ Robb also rendered the court’s decision affirming the conviction of Lewis L.
