Hot Dog!

DANVILLE, Va, Aug. A.
How the pet poodle Of Mrs.
Eliza Kallam, Of Henry county,
fell into a boiling still and was
converted into ardent spirits
was related in the magistrates
court at Martinsville, where
Mrs. Kallam was a reluctant
witness against Walter Lewis,
who was charged with operating
an illicit still near Chestnut
Knob.
He was held for trial under
bond on the liquor charge and
was sentenced to serve six
months in jail for attacking the
woman and shooting at her with
a shotgun.
Mrs. Kallam said that she had
been in the habit Of taking
refuse from the still to feed her
hogs. Her dog accompanied her
usually, and on one occasion, she
testified, missing her dog, she
found that it had fallen into the
boiling still. Lewis, she said,
made no effort to remove the
dog and it was boiled, and the
run of liquor, which, she pre-
sumed, was subsequently sold,
was completed.

COUNTYPO[|CE
Maryland Motor Commission
Will Sue to Collect Fines
and colIaterals.

Col. e. Austin Badghman, motor
vehicle COMMISSIONER of Maryland,
soon will institute proceedings in the
circuit court at Rockville to compel
Police Judge Riggs, OF that town, TO
turn over TO him all automobile fines
and collaterals collected in Mont
gomery county since July /, it was
learned here today.
A formal request by Commissioner
Baughman was met with q refusal
from Judge Riggs. who contended he
was required by law to pay the
money to the county treasurer.
Colonel Baughman's further action,
II is said, will precipitate legal hat
tie which will not end until the mat
ter has been carried to the State
court Of appeals.
Jealous In Their Work.
Judge Riggs and his police force Of
six recently came into notice as be-
ing overzealous in their arrests of
motorists, especially those coming
from other States. Automobilists
complained that they were forced by
the Montgomery county traffic police
to show evidence of their residence
elsewhere. and that they were made
to undergo other -humiliations on
the road.
BY a law. enacted by the last
Maryland legislature, the Mont
somery police force, consisting Of
4 chief and five privates, was
created, and provision was made
that all fines and collaterals be sent
to the county treasurer. to be
credited to a police fund" for the
maintenance Of the county police
system. Out of this fund also
would come the salaries of the
Judge and clerk Of the police court,
and those Of the force.
Since July !, when the law be-
came effective, Judge Riggs has
sbidsd by It's provisions. The fines
In automobile cases. II was learned,
amounted to approximately s1,250
since that date.
Claims Law IL Invalid.
Colonel Baughman claimed. in his
letter to Judge Riggs. that State
Attorney General Armstrong held
the law to be invalid because its
title does not adequately Indicate
the provisions Of the measure. II
Is claimed. therefore, that all motor
vehicle fines collected by Judge
Riggs since July I are being un.
lawfully withheld from the motor
vehicle commissioner.
Colonel Baughman made II clear
In his letter that he was unaware
OF the legislation until its passage.
and. had he known earlier. he would
have combated II on the ground that
II would establish d dangerous
precedent for other counties. with
the result that his office would
eventually be put out Of business.
Judge Riggs reply 10, in effect.
that until the law IL repealed or
ruled against by the courts he will
continue to dispose Of the fines as
directed.
