Move in Line With Hoover’s Recommendation to Clear Court Congestion SIMMONS ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF MEASURE Expresses Confidence Legislation Will Result in Disposing of Pending Cases. The Gibson bill authorizing two ad- ditional justices for the Supreme Court of the District, which has been favor- sbly reported by the House judiciary committee as & first move toward clean- ing up court congestion in line with the recommendations of President Hoover and the President’s crime com- mission, probably will come up in the House & week from Monday and will be passed. Chairman Simmons of the subcom- mittee handling District appropriations, will support the bill, and today ex- pressed confidence that as a result of this legislation the very serious con- gestion in the District court docket will be gradually cleaned up. Representative Simmons said yester- day that he has received assurances from the justices that they will make an earnest effort to clean up the ac- cumulated cases pending before the court. He also has assurances from the Bar Association of the District that they will work in close co-operation with the court to correct the present tion. Representative Simmons during hear- ing on the District appropriations bill vigorously cross-examined the justices of the Supreme Court and criticized the delay in court procedure. He said today, however, that he believes an -honest effort will be made to correct this situa- tion and that he will assist to the full extent of his ability. He pointed out that the creation of two new justices ‘will entail an expense of about $40,000, which, he believes, will be money well t. He expressed the opinion that the people get more for their dollars out of the courts than any other Govern- ment institution. —_— STATE-WAR BUILDING SOUTH ENTRANCE OPENS Offices Temporarily Occupied by Hoover After White House Fire Are- Assigned. 3 Closed two years ago to provide ad- ditional space for offices, the south en- trance to the State and War Depart- ments Building has again been ned to public use.

LILIE ROOSEVELT LEE. Mrs. Lilie R. Lee, Hugh O’Donnell Will Be Married Announcement Made Last Night by Mrs. Robert B. Roosevelt. Mrs. Robert B. Roosevelt, socially prominent in New York and Washing- ton, last night announced the engage- ment of her daughter, Mrs. Lilie Roose- velt Lee, to Hugh O'Donnell of New York, son of Mrs. O'Donnell of Wash- ington and the late John C. O'Donnell of Baltimore. The announcement came as a surprise to society in general, al- though in the circle of close friends the romance has been talked of for some- time. Mrs. Lee, whose father was first cousin of President Theodore Roosevelt, returned to Washington in July, 1929, from Reno, where she obtained a di- vorce from her first husband, James Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Lee of Boston. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Lee took place in Ellicott City, Md., May 11, 1926, at the close of Mrs. 's first season “out.” A small company witnessed the ceremony, which included their two intimate friends, now Mr. and Mrs. George M. Pulver, the latter formerly Miss Grace ‘Waggaman, Mr. and Mrs. Pulver were married at Ellicott City May 23, 1929, though Mr. and Mrs. Lee were not pres- ent, having joined Mrs. Lee's parents at the Lilacs, their Summer home, at Sayville, Long Island. Mrs. Lee's only child, a son, makes his home with her in Washington, where she has been with her mother since her return from Reno last Summer. Mrs. Lee's older sister, Mrs. Sidney C. Graves, was formerly Miss Olga Roosevelt and was a belle during her girlhood. Her first husband was Dr. J. Breckinridge Bayne of Washington, {from whom she was divorced at Reno in 1918, Mr. and Mrs. Graves make their home in Washini 3 Mr. O'Donnell and his brother, Charles O'Donnell, have spent several Summers at Newport with their mother, wgn was before her marriage Miss Julia Edie.

Sl aaia: In an effort to get early action on the Howell local prohibition bill, Chair- man Capper will send to the members of the Senate District committee with- in the next few days a list of the various amendments to the bill that have been suggested, to find out in what form they wish to act on the measure. Several committee members at a re- cent hearing on the bill talked over possible modifications of the search warrant clause, but nothing definite was agreed upon. Senator Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, also has proposed several amendments, including a change in the search and sefzure section to require the affidavit of a reputable citizen in order to obtain a search warrant. During the hearings the District Medical Society objected to the pro- posal to withdraw for one year the li- cense to tice of any physician or pharmacist convicted of a second viola- tlon of the regulations in the national prohibition act. Amendments were suggested during the hearings to other sections of the bill. The bill would supplement the na- tional prohibition law in the District by conferring enforcement authority on all local policemen, re-enact certain fea- tures of the Sheppard law and provide for the issuance of search warrants for dwellings on information of the pres- ence of a still or that liquor has been delivered to or taken from a dwelling. As the law now stands evidence of a sale is required to obtain a warrant for a dwelling, The Attorney General ad- vised against placing this new search- ‘warrant feature in the bill. Senator Howell has contended that his purpose was to prevent bootleggers rom using residential property as store houses, from which deliveries are made to other places. He indicated at the last hearing he would be willing to change the wording to apply only to instances where stills are present' or liquor is taken from a dwelling. Senator Capper decided to lay all of %he nu[gu('fi::l chflnglu before his col- eagues on the committee with & vi obg‘:mg nng action. res 'man Capper also will endeav this week to obtain committee action on the bill relating to court procedure in public utllity cases.

AUTHORIZING ACTION IS SOUGHT IN MOVE Fern Place Subway and Michigan Avenue Viaduct Are Involved in Steps. ‘The District Commissioners yester- day sent to Congress recommendations for changes in the legislation relating to two grade crossing elimination items on the program for the 1931 fiscal yéar. It is planned to seek an amendment to the District supply bill in the Senate to take care of both items, but since either would be subject to a point of order unless there an authorizing act is passed first, the Commissioners are anxious to have the authorizing acts ed. The two grade crossings are at Fern place, near Piney Branch and Takoma Park, and at Michigan avenue in the northeast section. It is planned to build a subway for street traffic at the Fern place crossing and a viaduct at the Michigan avenue crossing. With respect to both crossing elim- ination projects, the National Park and Planning Commission has suggested, and the District Commissioners ap- proved, certain changes in the line of the work making the projects different from those ':x outlined in the old au- thorizing acts. These changes will increase the esti- mated cost of the Fern place subway from $211,000 to $250,000 and that of the Michlglns uavz“%ue mvmufit.‘ hm 5,000 to $500,000. c] o a 1chnngfla_’ l; the width of the roadway from 36 feet, which the Commissioners report as well l!fll"h"\‘ih& increased cost, owing to the heavy c.

CITYHEADSDECLINE 10 JOIN MART FIGHT Refuse to Aid Citizens’ Group in Seeking Elimination of $300,000 Item. The District Commifsioners yester- day declined to follow the lead of the Federation of Citizens‘ Associations in seeking to eliminate the item of $300,000 appropriated for the construction of & farmers’ market in the Southwest sec- tion. The federation sent E. S. Hege, one of its delegates, to seek the elimination in Congress, and as a result of Mr. Hege's efforts, Senator Capper, chairman of the District committee, wrote to ask the rrexent Commissiogers whether they favored the Southwest market as their predecessors had done. 01d Report Is Quoted. “In its report of December 15, 1927, upon the question of a site for the farm- ers’ produce market,” the Commissioners wrote, “the former Board of Commis- sioners expressed the view that it would be futile to attempt at that time tc present any definite plan respecting a permanent farmers’ market because con- ditions might change materially within the next three to five years, and rec- ommended that a temporary provision for the farmers be made pending the clarification of the marketing situa- tion and the develzg:nent of an ade- quate solution of whole produce center problem. The members of the board expressed their continued adher- ence to these same views when callec upon for their opinion at the hearings on the 1931 appropriatoin bill before thc subcommittee of the House committee on appropriations. Board Moves Carefully “The present Board of Commissioners carefully has considered the previous history of the matter, including the statements of the former board at the hearings above referred to and other pertinent information, and concurs in the views heretofore expressed by the former board, but in view of the fact that the estimate for the item in ques- tion was submitted by the former Board of Commissioners in compliance with the provisions of the act of March 2, 1929, which authorizes and directs the Commissioners to acquire the whole of squares numbered 354 and 355 in the southwest section to be used and occupied by the District of Columbia as and for the purpose of wholesale farmers produce market; that the item was approved by the director of the budget and transmitted to Congress, and that it was included in the 1931 appropriation bill as pased by the House and was retained in the bill as reported to the Senate by the Senate appropria- tions committee, the Commissioners do not feel that they should make any further recommendations in the matter at this time. 2 FACE ROBBERY COUNT e Pair Accused by Youth, 18, of Tak- ing $20 From Him.

GRAVELY RETURNS 10 DETECTIVE DUTY Police Trial Board Exonerates Him in Shooting of James Crotts. Exonerated by the police trial board yesterday on a charge of unauthorized use of firearms, Spottswood Gravely, a third precinct detective, was restored to active duty last night. Gravely was suspended March 19 for wounding James Crotts, a young car- nival showman, as he attempted to flee from the neighborhood of an apart- ment house in the 1900 block of First street, where he is alleged to have at- tempted to “shake down” Rose Marie Foster. He was reinstated on the rec- ommendation of Inspector Louis J. Stoll, chairman. After citing the conflicting testimony given by prosecution witnesses, James A. O'Shea, chief of defense counsel, entered in evidence a copy of the Po- lice Court judgment finding Gravely not guilty of a charge of assaulting Crotts. The board returned its ver- dict five minutes later. The principal defense witness was Inspector T. R. Bean, who testified his investigation ~ had convinced him Gravely fired on Crotts because the young showman reached into his hip pocket in a menacing manner. An- other point in Gravely’s favor was a statement of his commander, Capt. Wwilliam G. Stott, that Gravely was one of the most efficient detectives he ever knew. H. E. Brodle, a headquarters detec- tive, testified Crotts declared in hi resence shortly after being shot that e ad sttempted to evade capture for fear of being arrested.

The Senate is expected to take up before the end of this week the Dis- trict appropriation bill for the next fiscal year, which came from the ap- propriations committee with many im- portant changes, including the recom- mendation that the Federal contribu- tion toward upkeep of the Natlonal Capital be increased from $9,000,000 to $12,000,000.
