MILITIA GOES TO CAMP;
POLICE COURT CLOSES
Laurel Company's Departure Shuts
Up Armory Where Justice
Is Dispensed.

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
LAUREL, Md, June 27.-Because
the local National Guard is going to
Summer camp soon the Laurel branch
of Prince Georges County Police Court,
which held sessions in the armory, will
be discontinued, at least temporarily,
after next Monday, j. Chew Sheriff,
judge of the court, announced today.
For the past several months the court
has used the State armory here, but
will not be able to do so after the
Guardsmen leave, the Judge explained
An effort to have the court meet in
vacant room in the local power house
failed when Judge Sheriff, after inves-
tigating, declared the building unsuita-
BILE.
AS there Is not SUFFICIENT volume of
business in the local court to justify
renting quarters the court will hear IT'S
Laurel cases at Hyattsville.
There also is some uncertainty about
re-establishing the Laurel court after
the Guardsmen return, according to
Judge Sheriff.
