TRAFFIC TRIBUNAL
 PROVES SUCCESS
HaltS Justice Of Peace Abuses,
 Official Declares

Danbury, Aug. (UP)-Connec- ticWs experimental traffic court de- signed to relieve police court con- gestion and free motorists from the injustices of the small justice courts, has proven so successful that the next legislature probably will be called upon to establish similar courts throughout the state. in the opinion of Judge J. Moss Ives.
 In an interview with the United Press Judge Ives pointed out today that 611 cases had been handled dur ing the courts first year, with only Il appeals.
 While the court succeeds in free ing the police courts of large con- munities in it's jurisdiction from the tremendous burden of traffic law prosecutions, Judge Ives believes that one of it's most laudable results is the elimination of the abuses of the justice of the peace courts. Jus tice, he feels, often has suffered in these courts due to the fact the justices of the peace, constables and grand jurors (prosecutors) work on fee basis and get nothing if the person arraigned is freed
 Tt sometimes happens that motorist found innocent of the charge preferred against him is as- sessed the court costs or is given nolle on payment of costs" said the traffic judge. These abuses have resulted in frequent complaints" In addition, he pointed out, the coun- try justices are infrequently lawyers.
 Under the law creating the traffic court, 25 per cent of the fines inn posed goes to the community in which the arrest was made. This, Judge Ives sees as an improvement under the current police court sys- tens, under which the full amount of each fine goes to the motor ve- hicle department. The 25 per cent allotment, he believes, encourages enforcement.
 Established July 1, 1929
 The Danbury traffic court was established July l, 1929 under spe- cial act of the general assembly. The bill was sponsored by the motor vehicles department and the state police.
 The court really is district court, receiving cases from Redding, Bethel and New Fairfield. in addi- tion 10 the city in which it is located Court quarters are provided by the county and the court officers are paid by the state.
 The first annual report, made public yesterday. showed the court virtually paid it's way. The years expenses were below the S21 1,113.27 taken in as fines.
 Speeders, the report showed, gave the court the largest single category of cases, 159, Many of the cases concerned minor violations such as failure to have a license or deficient equipment.

CURB ISSUES MOVE
IN NARROW RANGE
Oil Group Shows Strength.
Striking Gains Recorded
in Some Issues.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 28.-Trading on
the curb exchange today developed a
highly selective character.
The only group that had uniform
movement was the oils. In this section
traders had something tangible to pin
their operations on, and as result
most of the oil company shares we're
higher. At the same time, there were
individual stocks elsewhere IN the nst
that maze more spectacular gains.
Right from the opening, however, the
number of declines compared with the
gains was heavy enough to give the list
an irregular appearance.
American Superpower, heavily dealt
in at a point loss from Saturdays close.
despite a report showing net assets OF
S24.lO a share against $15.75 at the end
of 1929, Wed with Electric Bond g.
Share for leadership Of the market. The
latter was also of fractionally around
1125s.
with prospects Of somewhat higher
prices for crude petroleum at time
when all other price trends are lower
and production schedules well under
control as shown by f1rst-quarter re-
ports, the oil stocks gave a good ac-
count of themselves. Lion on Refining
Co. reported sales during the first three
months of the year at 30,200,000 gal
ions, compared with 1S,500,0 900 in the
