The District Commissioners have asked the Supreme Court to review the decision of the lower courts setting aside assessments made against the property of the late John R. McLean and of Christian Heurich on Wisconsin avenue. The assessments, for street paving | INSIST ON |and curb laying, were declared by the | District Court of Appeals arbitrary, un- equal and discriminatory. The District Commissioners, in urg- ing yesterday a review by the highest court, stated the two cases were of great importance to the District, as they involved seriously the practical operation of the assessment laws ap- plied to roadway paving and curbing made on_the front-foot rule. The Court of Appeals held that, owing to the diagonal course of Wis- | consin avenue through the city, irreg: ular and fractional blocks exist, which make unconstitutional an assessment | on the frontage basis against abutting property. As a large amount of prop- erty in the District lies along avenues and diagonal streets, the controversy, the Commissioners declared, substantial importance. was of A + \ THE ORIGINAL , . a P 14N S For sportsmen Byrd, Amundsen and Scott have carried our malted milk tablets to the poles.

LOS ANGELES, July 1.—Brief testi- mony from six witnesses was expected to_close the trial today of Thomas J. O'Brien’s suit to collect $11,500 in notes from Harry Langdon, film comedian. O'Brien, former husband of the pres- 6 ent Mrs. Langdon, alleges the notes were given in settlement of a threatened alienation of affections action. Lang- don, who says O'Brien had no ground for an alienation suit, seeks recovery of $15.000 he gave the man with the notes. A deposition by Mrs. Laura Walton, mother of Mrs. Langdon, was read into the records yesterday. Mrs. Walton said she did not wish to* believe there was anything between Langdon and daughter before the 1 O'Briens were divorced, but added, | “Seeing is believing. e said Mrs. { Bangdon brcke her nose by driving her car into a telephone pole while tr to escape a meeting with Langdon’s first wife. ‘There are about 3,000 stitches in a pair of hand-sewn shocs ‘See Etz and See Better’ HOW ARE YOUR EYES?
