The Prince Georges County grand jury,
in session here, win probably make an
investigation of the alleged activities of
constables and professional bondsmen
and garage men OF the county in con-
nection with persons frequently arrested
on trivial automobile law violations.
When the jury was charged on open
ing of the court Monday, Chief Judge
W. Mitchell Digges urged it to investi-
gate existing conditions In regard to
the practices of professional bondsmen,
which have been the source of much
criticism"
Numerous complaints and allegations
made to county commissioners that
constables and professional bondsmen
are working together to collect exorbi-
tant fees for bail after motorists have
been arrested is thought to have
prompted Judge Digges to urge that
the probe be made.
Judge Digges also called the atten-
ton of the grand jury to what he de-
scribed as a towing menace" in which
constables, after arresting motorists, are
supposed to have had their machines
lowed to garages where, it Is alleged,
excessive charges for towing, storage
and unordered repairs were alleged to
have been made.
In his charge to the jury Judge Digges
also recommended that an investigation
be made of the conditions in the county
jail and almShouse
The jury was also lectured on its
duties, Judge Digges urging that it be
fair and impartial. just, thorough and
fearless. Associate Judge Joseph C.
Mattingly is sitting with Chief Judge
Digges.
Hearing of appeals on civil cases oc-
cupied the petit jury yesterday. The
grand jury is not expected to bring in
its first group of indictments until to-
morrow or Friday.

APPEAL WRIT DENIED
ORPHANS TREASURER
Virginia Court Refuses Request in
Case of James P. Jones,
Delegate in Legislature.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, April 8-James
P. jones, member of. the Virginia
House of Delegates, convicted of en-
bezzling funds from the Virginia
Methodist .Orphanage while serving as
treasurer, was refused a writ of error
today by the Virginia Supreme Court
OF Appeals. Jones, under sentence of
five years in the penitentiary, is at
liberty under $4,000 bond.
The refusal of the appellate court to
review the record of the trial court
means that Jones must begin serving
the penitentiary sentence. which had
been suspended pending action of an
appeal.
Jones was relieved of his duties as
treasurer of the orphanage last June
when auditors reported a shortage of
approximately $35, 900 in his. books.
tiers of bookkeeping and no shortage
existed. Shortly afterward the orphan
age board announced that satisfactory
settlement had been made.
Commemorative Attorney Dave E.
Satterfield of Richmond ordered Jones
arrest on September Is, after the dis
covery of alleged new evidence. Six
true bills were returned against him
later by grand jury.
Jones was allowed to make a separate
audit of the books before his trial
opened october %. He claimed on the
basis of this audit that instead of a
shortage the orphanage board owed him
approximately $4,000. Under cross-ex-
animation j. M Culbreth. the auditor
employed by Jones. admitted errors in
his accounts which caused jones coun-
sci to ask that his testimony be dis
missed.

FAIRFAX, Va, April 8.-Probable
effect on Fairfax County revenues this
coming year of the decision of the state
Supreme Court Of Appeals, which de-
clared illegal all blanket reductions in
real estate valuations by Boards Of
Equalization, was discussed yesterday at
some length by members of the County
School Board and Commemorative At
torney Wilson NJ. Farr.
The city of Lyachburg last year had
a reassessment of real estate by the
Board of Assessors The Board of
Equalization later entered a blanket
order reducing all assessments 20 per
cent. The city council asked the COM
missioner of revenue to disregard this
blanket order and to extend the levies
on the basis of original assessments.
Upon his refusal. the council appealed
to the State Supreme Court. which
granted a writ of mandamus COM
polling the commissioner to use the
first assessment.
Judge Eppes. who read the courts
opinion, held that the Lynchburg Board
OF Equalization by a blanket cut had
constituted itself Board of Assess
ment instead of a Board of Equalization
and Review. AS there is no constitu-
tional question involved which would
permit carrying this case to the United
States Supreme Court, Thursdays ruiz
ing in this case is regarded as final.
Fairfax and Alexandria City followed
similar procedure. Acting on repeated
requests from the State for a reassess-
ment of real estate, and under authority
OF the special measure passed at the
last Legislature, Boards OF Assessment
and later of Equalization and Review
we're appointed. The original assess
ment in Fairfax County was on q basis
of so per cent rea! values. In Alexan-
dria the valuation was on 100 per cent
basis. The Boards of Equalization later
made several hundred individual
changes, and, before it went out Of
existence, complied with requests made
by the Board of Supervisors and city
council, and made blanket cuts in all
assessments of ne-third in Fairfax
County and one-half in Alexandra
City.
