DECIDES CONDUIT ROAD CASE
COURT REVERSES DECISION OF
GLEN ECHO AUTHORITIES
Holds That State Has Jurisdiction.
Roadway Not Public Highway
Under the Statutes.

Special Dspatch Ia The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November 1S.-The
Washington automobilists. through their
attorneys. Messrs. Leckie, Fulton &,
Douglass. scored a victory in the Conduit
road jurisdiction test case today. Judge
Henderson dismissed the charge of fast
driving in his automobile against Mr.. John
y. Lutz OF Washington. He also held
that The Conduit road does not come with
in the meaning of public highway" and
that the state of Maryland still retains its
jurisdiction over the land contained in the
Conduit road.
In a lengthy oral opinion, covering
every phase of the case, Judge James B.
Henderson in IT,: circuit court here this
afternoon rendered his decision in the
cases of John A. Lutz of Washington
against the state Of Maryland and the
mayor and council of Glen Echo. This
cause was appealed from the action OF
Justice of the Peace Robertson and
Mayor John A. Garrett in filming Mr.. LutZ
for alleged violation of the automobile
regulations of Montgomery county and
the town of Glen Echo. and which in
volved the question OF the jurisdiction of
the state of Maryland over the Conduit
road and whether the road is public
highway within the meaning of the
statute.
Judge Henderson explained that while
1t was not neCeSSaly 1or MIN 10 pass upon
the question of the general jur Sdiction
of the state of Maryland over the road
inasmuch as the United States govern
ment had interviewed and had virtually
made the issue one between the govern
ment and the state of Maryland. he would
give the views of the court on that point
Judge Henderson further held that the
state of Maryland retained its general
jurisdiction over the land purchased by
the United States for the purpose OF
the conduit; but that the United States
government had no right to dedicate the
Conduit road to the public "A highway.
and that the pubic could not obtain a
prescriptve right to use the road as a
highway. and that. therefore, the thor
oughfare does rot come within the mean
ing public highway" used in the
Maryland statute regulating the speed of
automobiles.
The court did not deem it necessary to
pass upon the question of whether or not
the ma yor Of Glen Echo could try persons
for the violation of the ordinance of that
town. Under Judge Henderson's decision
the action of Mayor Garrett and Justice
Robinson in filming NJ. LutZ rs. of course,
reversed and the defendant acquitted.

ARCTIC GALLINIPPERS.
Vessels Crew Fights Mosquitoes in
Greenland.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. November IS
The British bark Calcium has arrived
here from Greenland after a thirty
three days run, the first of the cryolite
fleet to reach port. Capt. Zurcxer of
the Calcium says that the natives re-
ported last winter an unusually stormy
one and that the summer had not been
unpleasant. with the exception of at
tacks by swarms of bloodthirsty mos
quitos. The general idea that MOSQUITOES
are not to be found in the arctic circle,
the crew stated. is great mistake, as
the pests frequently forced the men to
retreat while loading a cargo of cryo-
lite at Lvigtut.
The Calcium found on her arrival off
Greenland that the coast was ice-bound
for distance of fifty miles nut de
spite this barrier she managed to work
her way to her loading berth at
I.vigtut. By the time the vessel was
loaded the wind had changed and
driven the ice far to seaward. leaving
a clear channel and there was no fur
