Problem to Court,

Arrest of Robert Martin, colored. of
116 Sd street southwest, the other
day by Policeman Milton d. Smith,
charged with driving a tractor with
a trailer attached without a permit
or District of Columbia license tags,
presented to the court one Of the first
cases if its kind.
Judge Mcmahon Saturday after
noon ruled it necessary for an oper-
ator of a tractor to have permit.
but not necessary for the display of
the District of Columbia tags. Be
cause of the hitherto uncertainty of
the matter involved. the judge took
the defendants personal bonds for
the absence of a permit.
The District laws, as prescribed by
the Commissioners. state that all
vehicles, except those operating on
tracks. shall have displayed the
proper District of Columbia tags
upon the front and rear. But an act
of Congress, which supersedes the
District regulations. passed March 3.
1917. rules that all vehicles. except
those operating on tracks and trac-
tors, shall have the tags. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Frank w. Madi-
gan prosecuted the case for the gov
