lowing a number of conferences held
between States Attorney Robert Peter,
jr.: Charles c. Collins. attorney for the
American Automobile Association ;
Police Chief Alvie A. Monkey and Will
liam H. Talbot attorney for the Poto-
mac Electric Power Co. of Washington.
it was decided today to defer the drive
against the operators of automobiles
carrying d c. tags belong to Wash
ington firms. and used by employees in
Maryland until four test cases have
been decided upon by the courts.
Mutual Agreement Reached.
BY mutual agreement two employees
IF the Potomac Electric Power Co. and
two members of the American Auto
mobile Association will appear in Rock
willie Saturday and voluntarily submit to
arrest They will then be tried before
Police Judge Samuel Riggs and in the
case of conviction will appeal to the
Circuit Court
Attorney Peter announced that in
case of appeals he believes that Judge
Robert Peter can hear the cases within
the next ten days. Since there IS no
appeal from the Circuit Court in such
cases the drive will proceed if he up
holds the convictions.
Attorney Peter several weeks ago con-
ferred with the Attorney General of
Maryland with regard to automobiles
owned by Washington firms and oper-
ated by employees who live in Mary
land and was informed that, in the
opinion of the Attorney General, such
cars become the property of the en-
ployeS in the eyes of the law II kept
in the State for a period OF 80 days.
Virginia Cases Failed.
The tag drive instituted in Arlington
County, Va. on January 16 was sue
cessful in so far as the operators of
private automobiles were concerned. but
failed in the courts when the cases in
volved automobiles belonging to Wash
ington firms and operated in the county
by employees.
Judge Harry Thomas, the police
Judge. convicted number of the drivers
of automobiles belonging to Washington
firms. but when the cases were appealed
to the Circuit Court Judge Howard
w. Smith ruled that it would be neces-
sary to prove that the cars were kept
continually in the State for a period
of at least 30 days in order to convict
them Of operating illegally on District
tags.
Cases Nolle Pressed.
AS a result of Judge Smiths decision
in the first appealed cases to be heard
before him, Commemorative Attorney
William c. Cloth nolle pressed all of
the other cases in which Washington
firms were involved.
The new law, under which the ar
rests were made, holds that any auto
mobile kept in the county for a period
of 80 days must have Virginia tags, no
matter by whom owned The difficulty
in enforcing the law is due to the
inability of the police to prove that
the car was kept in the State con-
tinually. Judge Smith having ruled
that if it was removed to the District
for Just one night the owners had
complied with the law.
