The Police Court Congestion.

Ine proposal 10 congress 10 eS-
tablish a traffic court in the District
of Columbia to care specifically for
cases growing out of violations of
the traffic rules was based upon the
knowledge that the present Police
Court could not possibly serve this
need. The ordinary business of the
Police Court fully occupied the time
Of it's judges and crowded the build
ing in which it is housed. 1t was
known that even with an increase of
personnel on the bench and in the
Offices of the court
prompt attention could not be given
to cases. Congress refused to estab-
lish a separate court, however, on
the ground of economy, it would
seem, and directed the appointment
of two additional judges. with only
a small increase in administrative
personnel and no increase in room
or accommodations. The result has
been a congestion at the court, from
which the public has suffered seri-
ously in delays.
Now additional room has been
granted the Police Court in the Dis
trtct Supreme Court Building, and
from the 9Th of July until the 1st of
September two chambers will be
placed at the disposal of the Police
Court for jury trials. This, 1t Is
belieyed, will permit speedier work
and will somewhat lessen the annoy
ing, costly delays from which de-
PENDANTS and witnesses in traffic
cases are now subjected.
But this will only continue for less
than two months, and after the 1st
Of September the conditions VIII be
at least as bad as at present. With
tho resumption Of the full work OF
the District Supreme Court this
snace must be taken away from the
Police Court and all four judges OF
tho latter must resume work in the
same small building that has been
outgrown for several years.
The particular purpose of spe-
cial traffic court is to permit the I'M
mediate trial of cases. A driver
breaks a rule and is caught on the
SPOT, with witnesses directly at
hand. With a traffic court operating
separately from all other judicial or
ganizations it is possible to take the
case at once before it. If jury trial
is demanded, there need be no pro-
tracted delay. Such court, prop
erly equipped with personnel and
properly housed, should never be
congested.
Under the present conditions, which
will be somewhat relieved for two
months during the Summer, traffic
rule offenders are thrown into a most
humiliating association with male
factors in an atmosphere of crime.
They and the witnesses in their cases
are compelled to wait, often for
hours, sometimes for days. while Sc
curing attention. Justice Is often de-
feated in these conditions.
This situation should be stated to
Congress in the most distinct terms
at the next session in order that 1t
may reconsider its action in attempt
ing to solve the traffic problem in
the District by mere expansion in
part of the Police Court personnel
At the least, if a separate court Is
not created wholly distinct from the
present Police Court, provision should
be made for an adequate build
ing to accommodate all branches
of the Police Court, which are now
suffering from a physical congestion
highly inimical to the welfare of
Washington.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Crushing Experience.
We have attained state so beatific
We're always in a happy frame of
mind
In spite of all the problems so prolific
In arguments to interest mankind.
There's only one event that serves to
make US
Relax our joyous and perpetual
grin.
There's just one time when pleasant
thoughts forsake us
And that is when the home team
doesn't win.
We go serenely on, although we're
hearing
OF mishaps en- the land and on
the sea;
OF people who are bent on interfering
With laws which should protect the
brave and free;
OF threats concerning new investiga-
And rumors of frivolity and sin >
All undisturbed we meet each agita-
ton,
Excepting when the home team
doesn't win.
