NIGHT AUTO COURT
T0START MONDAY
Trials Up to II Pm. for Vio-
latorS of Traffic Laws As
l.. sured by Schedule.

The Night Traffic Court in the Dis
trict will open next Monday. This
was decided yesterday afternoon by
Judge Gus A. Schuldt, elected presid-
ing judge of the Police Court follow
ing conference of the four judges.
Beginning today and lasting
through Saturday, the four judges will
alternate on the three benches. Start
ing Monday, Judge Isaac r. Hit will
preside over the traffic cases in the
Traffic Court on the top floor, Judge
John P. Mcmahon Will preside over
the United States cases in the large
courtroom also on the top floor and
Judge Gus A. Schuldt will preside
over the District of Columbia cases
in the large courtroom on the second
floor.
Judge George H. Macdonald will
preside over the Night Traffic Court
to be held in the second floor court
room. He probably will open court
at pm. and will remain on duty
until IL pm. This will result in
Police Court being open from 9:30 in
the. morning continuously until IL
o'clock at night for traffic cases.
AS new juries will be chosen every
two weeks. IL Is the present plan for
cnange that often. 1t is the purpose
Of the judges that their work shall
be alternated so that during the year
each one will average the same hours
during the day and night.
The new program resulting from
the passage Of the traffic act by Con-
gress will call for a closer co-opera-
tion of the Police Department but
it is believed that with the increase
in force as set forth in the act no
trouble is to be anticipated. Judge
Schuldt stated today that he believed
by next Monday plenty of time would
be given them to function well in
the new scheme of things.
FOrfeitures to BE Reduced.
Forfeiting collateral in traffic cases
practically will be done away with.
Driving while intoxicated cases and
other violations of more serious
nature will be excepted, mainly be-
cause of the nature of the cases and
the right to demand jury trials. All
other traffic violaters arrested before
II o'clock at night and on week days
will be Immediately hailed into court
for trial.
The long wait for jury trials now
enjoyed by some law violaters will
also be done away with. Juries will
be available most of the time, and
it is doubtful except in unusual cases
that they will sit later than a week
after the alleged violation took place.
1t is expected that the crowded
docket viii be a thing of the past. and
it is hoped by the magistrates that
speedy trials will greatly diminish
traffic violations as we'll as other
crime.

PHONE VALUATION
SEENASs1q,0Q,O)O
Hearing on Rate Cut to BE
Held if This Figure
Is Set.

A formal public hezringto consider
whether telephone rates should be re-
duced probably will be held some time
this month, 1t was indicated at the
District Building today.
Decision as TO whether there should
be hearing has been held up pend
ing settlement of the claim OF the
Chesapeake e. Potomac Telephone Co.
that the value of its property should
be increased substantially.
While the commission will not be
able for several days to make known
the new valuation, It Is understood
IL will be approximately $4,000, 900.
If this figure is agreed upon the rate
hearing is likely to follow. it was said.
The commissions old valuation
brought up to February 2s was in
round numbers s1s.0oo, 900. If present
indications are correct, the comn1is-
sion's new value, while slightly high
er, will fall far short OF the company's
claim TO a value of s25,Goe, 900.
Policy Ix Decided.
Members Of the commission did not
actually decide on a new value at the
conference late yesterday afternoon
but did decide it's policy with regard
to subtracting depreciation, allowing
FOR going concern value, what #
would allow for working capital and
similar disputed items.
The indications are that when the
accountants for the commission apply
the methods agreed to by the com
mission for treating these various
items they will arrive at a value
close to $4,000, ,00e.
1t is reported the commission de-
cided yesterday 10 deduct from the
company's claim several millions OF
dollars representing accrued depre-
citation.
AS TO the value OF the CONF pany's
land and buildings, the testimony or
District Assessor Richards differed
from the appraisals of the company y
witnesses. 1t is understood the com
mission will strike a compromise
value somewhere between the two
estimates
The value of the company's prop
erty is the basis on which the com
! mission decides what the rates for
service should be, and IL the com
| pany's estimate Of s25,o00,ooo should
be sustained there would be no like

LAFAYETTE PARK
CHANGES SLIGHT
Sheriff. Denies Street Will Be
Cut or Trees Sac
rificed.

Work being done in connection
with plans for beautifying Lafayette
Park does not involve extension OF
Sixteenth street through this square
or the removal Of the statue of Gen.
jackson, 1t was announced today by
Col. C. o. Sheriff., superintendent OF
public buildings and public parks.
under whose supervision the work is
being executed.
Neither will the worknien disturb
any of the trees which now grace the
park, Col. Sheriff. said in calling at
tention to statements to the contrary
in an article published in The Star
yesterday, which created an erroneous
impression.
Col. Sheriff. emphasized that the
only changes being made in TINS at
tractive park have to do with i'm
proving the means of approach to the
Jackson statue from the north and
south and the beautifying Of these
approaches so as to present a pleas
ing vista through the square from
Sixteenth street to the White House.
New Walks Planned.
The plans call for two parallel ce-
ment sidewalks, each 10 feet Wlde
and spaced so feet apart, running d.
rectly through the center OF the
square from north to south, but curry
Ing around the parking at the base or
the Jackson statue.
No provision whatever is TO De
made for vehicular traffic through the
square, Col. Sheriff. said, and not
tree will have to be moved or de-
stroyed to carry out the plans Tor
the approaches and parking.
Between the two walks, he stated.
will be a 50-foot parking covered
with fine grass, and on the outer
edges of the walks will be planted
attractive shrubbery, flowers, etc. to
form a garden effect
The big elIns at the II street side
of the square, Col. Sheriff. said, Will
remain where they are as will the
persons had feared might have to be
sacrificed.
Inspects Work Today.
Col. Sheriff. visited the park today
to watch the workmen as they pro-
gressed. Digging of the bases for the
sidewalks already is we'll under way
and the work is rapidly being pushed.
Col. Sheriff. pointed out that as
soon as the funds permit the other
approaches, curving to the center
from the corners OF the square, will
be replaced with broader cement
walks. The present walks are of as
phalt and long since have become
rough and unserviceable, in addition
10 being much too narrow.
The coping of the fence inclosing
the grass plot around the jackson
statue, Col. Sheriff., added. VIII be
reset in a substantial foundation. At
present the fence Is out of plumb and
presents a wavering appearance.

One would think, that with the
costly system of education we
maintain that at least correct
spelling and phrasing would at
least be near 1000 and that the
newspapers would be shining ex-
ample of correct English.
Take this example of phrasing in
Star editorial September 16.
"Let funny men laugh at them
for them, and they will themselves
learn where the joke is on them. "
Murder. !"
1t is about on a par with this
sample of Lancashire English in
which one man asks for pipe Of
tobacco and addresses his mates
thus.
"Have ony ON you got ony to.
bacco on you"
Repeat this quickly and you will
have it perfect.
Another peculiar expression
newspaper men use in describing
what someone has said. They enc
up with, "he said"
Then again there's the bad habi
of using dozen words where two
or three would do, note this sam
pie by DR.. Hugh S. Cummins il

three fourths of the length of ;
foot apart" instead of "abou
nine inches apart. -
