LIQUOR CASES
JAM BUILDING,
I OFFICIALS SAY
Traffic Tribunal Also Is Con-
fined to Rooms Entirely
inadequate.
MONDAY CROWD IMMENSE
Appeal to Congress for Relief
Is Being Considered by
Authorities.
BY SAMUEL DATLOwE.

Need for a modern and COM
inodious special police court to
handle violations Of the liquor laws
is an urgent necessity in the Dis
trict, according to opinions ex-
Rressed by court officials last
night.
The present quarters Of the
police court in the building at
Sixth and D streets will prove
wholly inadequate for their pur-
poses in the course of few
months and an appeal to Con-
gress for relief is uncer con-
sideration.
Kelly Favors Plan.
Frank J. Kelly, assistant United
of prohibition cases. is strongly In
favor of the new court plan, believ-
ing that 1t will benefit both the
court officers and the general pub
lie.
Most of the persons arraigned
on charges of violating the Vol
stead act" he said last night,
plead for jury trial because they
know that their cases will not be
called until several months after
their arraignment."
This procedure operates against
the efficiency and eexpediency OF
the Police Court, while 1t may prove
of assistance to offenders and Of
material gain to bondsmen.
Liquor offenses, in their various
forms, comprise the bulk of the
cases which keep judges noses to
the proverbial grindstone and which
make Police Court jurymen late for
their suppers.
: Busy Mondays.
/ Monday, the regular morning
after" in Police Court, dawns on
crowded docket, while the Sunday
captures of the police, redolent OF
maybe good wet goods, stifle in the
decidedly unpalatial waiting-room
downstairs.
Last Monday, for instance, was a
record day for arrests and collections
of fines. The court was, unable to
dispose Of all the cases until after
O'Clock, with a fine disregard for
The number of liquor law breaches
has increased Of late. and means Of
dealing with these present a serious
question to court officials.
A liquor court isn't the only worry
at Sixth and D streeIs. Here's an.
other one: -.
When city.wide agitation resulted
in the establishment Of a court to
hear exclusively cases Of violations
against traffic rules. 1t was be.
lieved that the congestion would
subside to a great degree and leave
the Police Court in state OF nor
malcy.
Traffic Court Jam.
But the traffic court obtained is
now. It Is found, hopelessly crowd.
ed. The room used for this pur-
pose was formerly jury room,
about thirty by twenty feet. The
witness room attached is about half
this size.
On busy mornings civilians and
police officers awaiting trial Of
their cases, form in crowds outside
the door and pack the corridor
Every seat within and every
r square inch of available space Is
occupied.
How long this condition can last

ficials are anxious that some meas.
ures be taken to reduce the incon-
venience to. which they are subject.
ed.
washington has simply outgrown
its Police Court" said Mr.. Kelly last
night. The present building would
be eminently suitable for a city Of
1OO, 1000, but with liquor and traffic
violations piling up here, II cannot
long remain in its present condi-
tion."

by the president Of the company back

him the missing scenes. If you will re-

for they whiled away the happy hours

were manifestly impossible. and then

suggestions were not taken. 1t was n

Hawkins laid aside the razor, and

gas-jet could not have been held guilty.

And now there seemed to be some
