POWERS OF POLICE
mrniBED
Corporation ,Counsel Steph
ens Passes on Recent De
cision of Appeals Body.
The decision of the Court of Ap
peals holding that the Juvenile Court
erred in sentencing: a man to hard
labor on a charge of non-support
without a grand jury indictment will
not \kffect the' powers of the Police
Court, Corporation Counsel Francis
H. Stephens declared today.
When the appellate court rendered
its decision a few days ago it was at
flrst thought that tho rulinar would
have the effect of preventing the Po
lice Court from seritencihg p-isoners
to Occoquan because manyal labor Is
performed at that institution.
Asks Rehearing of Case.
Mr. Stephens also announced that
he has asked the Court of Appeals to
remand the non-support'ease to Juve
nile Court for rehearing instead of
dismissing the case.
Here, in substance, is the corpora
tion counsel's explanation of why the
work of Police Court will not bo cur
tailed by the decision:
The Court of Appeals held that hart'
labor is infamous punishment and
that under the fifth amendment to
the Constitution no person shall be
held to answer for a capital or in
famous crime except upon present
ment or indictment of a grand jury.
Mr. Stephens said that the Police
Court and the Juvenile Court do not
commit prisoners direct to Occoquan
at manual Jabor. Under an act of
1911 combining the jail and work
house. these courts^ he said, make all
commitments to the Washington
Asylum and Jail.
Under a statute of later date, the
ccrporation counsel stated, prisoners
may be sent from the jail to the
workhouse at Occoquan. At Occo
quan, according to the corporation
counsel, the labor performed by pris
oners is part of the discipline of the
institution.

BILL MEETS OPPOSITION
Committee Bfefore Commissioners
Tells of Objections to

Opposition to the bill pending: In
Congress to .provide for the licensing
of public accountants in the District
of Columbia was voloed by a com
mittee of men from that profession
at a hearing .before the Commission -
I ers Tuesday. C. W. Taylor, spokes
' man for the oommlttee, asserted that
there are hundreds of efficient ac
countants in the government depart
ments in Washington who could not
obtain. certificates as certified public
accountants from the board which
would be created by the bill.
Mr. Taylor said the proposed law
requires that a man have a diploma
or degree from a recognised school
of accountancy or serv.e a stated pe
riod of apprenticeship under a cer
tified public accountant in order to
obtain the board's certificate.
Mr. Taylor promised to submit a brief
to the( Commissioner later setting forth
the views of the committee he repre
I sents.
William Clabaugh, local accountant,
told the Commissioners that the bill
drawn for the District Is substantially
the same as laws now In effect in the
forty-eight states of the Union govern
ing public accountants.
At the suggestion ? of Commissioner
Rudolph, Mr. Clabaugh agreed to fur
nish the city heads with copies of the
state laws.
Dr. O'Haire, also a member of Mr.
Taylor's committee, explained what he
regarded as objectionable. features of
the bill as now drawn.
