Sworn Testimony.

motorists OF the National Capital are
praising the action of Gov. Richie If
Maryland in ordering oaths to be adj
ministered to all witnesses in traffic
cases. On the theory that every person
! should be given fair and impartial
trial and on learning Of cases in which
motorists had been convicted solely on
the unsworn testimony or report of the
trafi1c officer. the governor determined
TO END for all time such practices within
MS State. And to add force to his edict
Gov. Richie promptly RENTED fines
and costs to two motorists who had been
convicted under improper circumstances.
holding that inasmuch as sworn testi-
mony had not been given there had
been no trial
Maryland is motor-wise State, prob
ably more so than any other. Its roads
are excellent, its traffic regulations are
liberal but safe. and its authorities are
eager to keep abreast of the times. The
latest action Of its governor is there
lore in line with its consistent policy of
fairness and observation-disclosures.
The Maryland State police are well
trained and efficient and there have
been few occasions when a member of

Gated in making out a case against a

neSSes under oath is desirable. of course,
from every standpoint, as the penalties

haled before them for violation of the

stances In which arrests have been
made with a virtual certainty that CON-
viction would follow whether the mo-
torist was right or wrong. All that
appeared TO be necessary was for the
motorist to be brought into court; the
result was always the same.
Under the new policy. however, every
person arrested for a traffic offcnse will
be assured Of fair trial conducted with

Perhaps the truth of this old saying

the process commonly known as "baWl-

that settles it.

going to take this thing back to him

Commodore Hartley's Retirement

After thirty-five years at sea, COM
modore Herbert Hartley of the United
States Lines and master of the steam
ship Leviathan has resigned his COM
mand for the purpose of entering bust
ness. His explanation of this surpriS-
ing course is that he has not had a
home since he was eighteen years Of
age and now wants one. An opportunity
has come to him to leave the sea for
a shore occupation and he accepts 1t
for the sake of his family.
1t is unusual for a man in the prime
OF life - Commodore Hartley is only
fify-two-to leave a profession that has
occupied him continuously. 1t is even
