ASK JAIL SENTENCES
IN AUTO OFFENSES
Grand Jurors of Frederick County
Say Fines Fail to Stop
Violations.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


FREDERICK, Nd, February "a
Prison sentences as a minimum pen
atty for persons convicted of operat-
Ing automobiles while under the in
fuence of liquor were recommended
by the February grand jury to the
Circuit Court of Frederick County in
completing session of 12 days, in
which 2Sl witnesses were examined
and 95 indictments were returned.
our experience and investigat TONS -
the grand jury's report reads prove
concIusively that the imposing of
fines upon persons found guilty of
driving an automobile while under
the influence of liquor is hopelessly
inadequate and that a. jail or prison
sentence be substituted as the mini
mum penalty. AS our highways grow
more and more the principal arteries
OF travel, too much stress cannot be
laid upon this point.
I'm the cases of immortality brought
to our attention we find that the So
called automobile parties are in no
small way responsible for the unfor-
tunate conditions presented to us.
There is a county law prohibiting the
unnecessary parking of automobiles
on our highways and lanes. We be-
lieve very strict enforcement of this
law will greatly improve this condi-
ton"
