the House subcommittee for giving
him the opportunity to- appear. adding
that such was "a courtesy which had
not been extended by the committee
which drafted the proposal"
Tells Courts Growth.
He told of the growth of the Police
Court from 1870, when one judge
handled the cases, to the present time,
when four judges work daily, and one
of these also works nightly, in hand
ling the cases coming to the court.
He claimed that the Police Court in
reality was court of common pleas,
citing original jurisdiction in many
crimes concurrent with that of the
District Supreme Court and it's
original jurisdiction in first offenses
of the prohibition law.
Combination ot the Municipal Court
and Polio" Court, ne said. was just as
incongruous proposition as combin-
ing the Navy Department with the
Interior Department--one being inter
ested in matters of land and the other
of water just as Police Court was for
criminal offenses and Municipal Court
for civil matters. He cited the differ
ence in positions held by the judges
of Police Court and of Municipal Court
both appointed by the President, but
Municipal Court judges for term of
four years, removable by justices of
the District Supreme Court. whereas
Police Court judges held terms for six
years, being removable only by the
President.
AS an argument against consolida-
ton, he cited the difference in the
filing systems of Police Court and
Municipal Court. the need for a huge
building to house the nine courtrooms
consolidation would result in, and the
distaste that civil litigants would en-
counter in mingling with the element
being tried criminally in Police Court.
He said the matter was 'shastily

blocking the Police Court building pro-
gram and seemed to him IAN obvious
attempt on the part of the District
Commissioners to absorb the Federal
jurisdiction of Police Court"
Representative Gibson, presiding at
the meeting here recalled that author
ization for the building already had
been given. but stated that no appreci.
able progress had been made In this
respect, although it had been assumed
such progress would be taken care OF
by an appropriation. Heaven only
knows" he added, when we will get
it, unless some people stop dragging
their feet
Mr. Smith then arose to dIsclaim
that the Commissioners used any in
fiuence on the committee with respect
to the draft of the bill for combining
the courts. declaring that they had
no knowledge of the plan until 10 was
presented to them. Mr.. Offutt en-
phatically denied that there had been
any log-rolling or influence for selfish
interests. He said that the committee
wanted the best possible organizer to
take up the job of consolidating the
two courts, and that 1t was felt that
George c. Aukam. presiding Judge Of
Municipal Court, who had so organized
1t that the dockets were now clear.
was the man for the job. He said
that the committee felt genius for
organization" was required, denying
that he was attempting in any way to
reflect upon his close personal friend.
Judge Schuldt. He said that he was
surprised at the criticism engendered
by the presentation of the plan, as
he thought 1t would be welcomed.
Tonight. Chairman Gibson an
nounced, the committee hopes to hear
from the president of the District Bar
Association, the president of the Bar
risters' Club, Judge Aukam and Miss
Blanche Neff, clerk of Municipal
Court, on other aspects of the pro
posed consolidation

months behind schedule in this mat
ter, since current cases had to be con-
sidered and since the court was run
ming behind daily with current cases.
Would Change Code.
To relieve the situa ton, Judge
Schuldt suggested a simple amend
ment to the District code, section 81
which provides for appointment by
The District Supreme Court of Munich
pal Court judges to sit in Police Court
during the absence for illness or on
vacation of Police Court Judge, so
that the assignment could also be
made whenever public interest de-
manded.
Judge Schuldt then pointed to the
draft of the merger of courts as pro-
posed by the Commissioners commit
tee. He called especial attention to
section 3, making the presiding judge
of the Municipal Court the presiding
judge of the combined court and char
acteriZing such a proposal as appar-
emily a matter of 'log-rolling. He
said it was evident that "antagonistic
forces could be seen opposed to Pc
lice Court" Questioned by Represent
ative Gilbert, he said that it was in
teresting to note that since the au-
thorization for the building of a new
structure for Police Court, made by
the recommendation of the District
committee, the District Commission
ers have interested themselves in the
matter of Police Court.
First, he said, they asked the COM
mittee to look into the feasibility of
appointing police magistrates. Then,
he said, instead Of placing in their
estimates the amount needed for the
Police Court building they merely in.
cluded an item of $1,000 for prelimi.
nary plans of building to house the
Police Court. and added and such
other municipal activities as the Com
missioners may delegate" This, he de-
clared, was undoubtedly aimed at
