Richmond, Va, Nov. PA movement

The movement is designed 20 ship 70
Africa all the negroes In the United

tectorate.
The worthless class Of negroes are
eager for the movement. while those who
have accumulated property are opposed
20 going to a new country. where they
viii have 70 build themselves up all over

ment is 20 appeal to the national gov

assistance. on the ground that the white
people owe 10 the negroes a debt which
they viii never be able 10 discharge
until they have placed them safely and
well in their own country. whence they

The negroes claim that the impetus

fits Of their labor, will not be lost IN

can well afford to pay the debt 10 the

would naturally spring up between the

Although formal acceptance OF Japan's
invitation to participate in the National
Exposition at Tokyo in 1912 cannot be
made until Congress has taken the nee
essary action. the State Department is
In hearty sympathy with the proposition
that the United States shall take a
prominent part in the big fair
1t is pointed out that the United States
has repeatedly asked foreign countries 20
send exhibits and to participate in the
big expositions which have been held in
this country. and Japan has been one
OF the countries which has always re-
sponded literally. Aside from the ad-
vantages to be derived commercially and
in the way of cementing the friendship
between the two countries, the Depart

In the Circuit Court OF Montgomery
County. at Rockville Nd. yesterday. the
test cases Of Glen Echo vs.. John A. Lutz
and the State Of Maryland VS.. John A
Lutz, representing the automobilists OF
Washington, were tried before Judge
Henderson.
The courtroom was crowded with spec
tators, many Of whom were from this
city. owing 10 the widespread attention
which Marshal Collins attracted ast
summer. by the wholesale arrests OF
/ speeding automobnlsts he made on the
Conduit road. and the international com
/ plications which were threatened for a
time. considerable interest IS being taken
as 10 what verdict will be rendered.
District Attorney Robert B. Peter, OF
Montgomery County, assisted by E. B.
| Briggs. had charge OF the prosecution,
while @. l. Baker. OF the firm OF Doug
las & Douglas. and A. z. L. Leckie. Of
the firm Of Leckie. Fulton & Cox. ar
gued for John a Lutz and the auto
mobilists Of Washington.
John c. Rose. United States district at
torney. Of Baltimore. intervened on be
half Of the government and made a
strong argument along the lines OF Attor-
ney General Bonaparte decision rem
dered to the War Department last July.
The trial commenced at II o'clock. and
Mr.. Peter was the first 20 speak. He
took two hours and a half TO present
his argument No witnesses were called.
because the defense. by previous arrange
ment, conceded that il had violated the
ordinance OF the town OF Glen Echo,
which prohibits the driving OF automO-
biles within its corporate limits al a rate
exceeding twelve miles an hour.
Argument for Plaintiff.
Messrs. Leckie and Baker argued that
the mayor OF Glen Echo had no authority
10 try criminal cases except when the
corporation itself was a party, and, hav~
ing fined Mr.. Lutz. he went beyond his
jurisdiction, and the decision was there
fore void. Secondly, they contended that
neither the State nor corporation Of Glen
Echo had any right 10 control the use OF
/ the Conduit road in other words, the
Conduit road was the property OF the
United States, and not a public highway.
444 t4it VI uLl-eAg sense OF the WORD. ana
the United States government alone could
control its use.
The defense concluded its argument by
showing that the exclusive Jurisdiction Of
this road is vested in the United states
/ government, since the government ac-
quired ii by an act Of the Maryland
/ legislature in 1853 The State thereby re-
/ linquished all claim 70 this strip OF land
and any attempt on the part OF the state
: 10 retain concurrent Jurisdiction was null
and void. Numerous authorities were
/ cited in support OF these contentious.
which were in direct opposition 10 the
I arguments Of the prosecution.
/ Judge Henderson then took the case
under advisemenL announcing that he
/ would render his decision at a later date.
Attorneys Leckie and Baker are hope
/ ful for favorable decision. and should
such be the case all fines will have 10 be
refunded. Should Judge Henderson render
a decision favorable to the State. the
Washington automo5ilisIs will take the
/ case TO the United States Supreme Court.
