Charges that the Prince
Georges county police take
their prisoners before certain
justices of the peace" instead
of to the nearest magistrate,
will be preferred before the
board of county commission
ers in a petition signed by a
number of justices in the
northern part of the county,
it was learned today.
The petition is said to have
been signed by Robert E. Altemus,
Of Bladensburg; George Phillips,
of Berwyn; Louis B. Arnold, Of
Brentwood; J.. j. Fainter, OF
Hyattsville, and N. Vadun, Of
North Brentwood.
Favored Ones Unnamed
The petition, it is said, does not
specify the justices who benefit
by the alleged partiality Of the
county police and does not ask
any specific relief from the com.
miSSionerS.
States Attorney Alan Bowie
said last night that while all
motor vehicle cases are required
by law to be carried before the
nearest magistrate, he knew of
no similar provision with respect
to criminal cases.
While no specific charges are
preferred in the petition, it hints
at collusion between the county
police and the unnamed certain
justices of the peace"
A number of magistrates had
complained unofficially against
the alleged discrimination before
the petition was drawn.

' N
 Norfolk, Va, March 30 = (UP) The Norfolk trio negotiating with a group of supposed kidnap- CTS for the return of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. today reported "no developments"
 Rev H. Dobson-Peacock, one ot the three, announced that he and his colleagues were acting "at the request of Colonel Lindbergh, made personally by him"
 Rear Admiral Guy Burrage, U. S. N, retired was appointed press contact man for the group today and agreed to hold three press conferences daily.
 Burrage denied there was any plan so far for John Hughes Cur tis, boat builder, the third negoti- ator to take another mystery air plane trip.
 Burrage, during his first confer ence today was not specific re- garding the Kidnapping case. His only formal statement for the public was:
 If there is failure in the Nor folk negotiations, the kidnapers and they alone win know why"
 It was pointed out to him this implied absolute knowledge that the group with which he. Curtis and Peacock were dealing, were the kidnapers.
 He insisted that the statement was correct, but when asked if he

AMERICANS ARE READY FOR THE
 HONOLULU CASE
Attorney Clarence Darrow ! Says He Is Glad That
 No Women Can Sit on
 the Jury

Honolulu, T. H., March 30- UPP)-Four Americans indicted as the alleged "honor slayers" of a native youth will be ready for trial next Monday, eager to face a jury on which no woman can sit, Clarence Darrow, chief of counsel said to-day. The fact that women are ineligible for jury service in Hawaii met with Darrow's favor, as he prefers men jurors even if they are of the island melting pot" type, he indicated. Interrupt ing his preparation of the defense for Mrs Granville Fortescue. American society woman, and her three co-defendants, the noted Chi cago attorney derided civilization" and related his two rueful experi- ences with juries on which women sat.
 Events such as occurred in Honolulu happen everywhere, even in such highly civilized places as Chicago" he said sarcastically. 'There is no racial question in- volved here, despite the many races and cross-bred strains. I found 8 quite orderly community. There are exceptions, of course, but as a class there is no feeling among the races, as far as the trial is concerned, the defense will ignore the question"

UNITED STATES LINES REDUCED RATES OVER SEA
20 Per Cent Cut Below the Existing Winter Rates No Increases for Summer Passengers

New York, March 30-UP)-- The United States lines to-day an- nounced sweeping reductions in ocean passenger rates which will reduce the cost of transatlantic travel to the 1914 level.
 Announcement of the reductions came as representatives. of the steamship companies operating on the north Atlantic routes were con- vening in Brussels for a meeting Or the north Atlantic conference where proposals for general re- duction in rates were expected to produce a bitter fight.
 The new rates announced by the United States lines are 20 per cent below the existing winter rates. There will be no increase in rates for the summer months as has been the custom and this will make the reduction under previ- ous summer rates mount to 30 and 40 per cent, the announcement said.
 New York passenger representa- lives of the other major steamship lines refused to comment on the step of the United States lines. but it was generally understood all lines would reduce rates to con- form.
 The action of the United States lines, while anticipated for several days, was a surprise because Ii came before the north Atlantic conference had had the opportu- nity to deliberate rate reduction proposals. Nine lines were report ed as opposing.a a reduction in rates. They were: Cunard, Canadian Pacific, North German Lloyd, Hol- land-America, Hamburg-America, French, Italian, Danish and Swed- ish. . ..
 The White Star, Atlantic Trans port. and Red Star lines were re- ported as agreeing with executives of the United States lines that only a drastic reduction in rates could solve the stagnation of north Atlantic passenger trade. ,.
 To.day's reductions apply to the liners Leviathan, President Roose- welt, and President Harding. The lowest first class fare of the Levi athan is now $192. Last summer 1t was $265. The 20 per cent cut ap-- plies to all passages except third class passage where the reduction is 10 per cent. ...

Good year Tire & Rubber declined to 13-1-4 off 2 3-S from the previous close and within fraction of it's record low. Selling in the latter was based on fears over the safety of the dividend. Reduction in the dividened to a quarterly of 25 cents for Westinghouse Electric brought the stock down to p 5-S off 1 1-2. 1t rallied fractionally from that level.

He contracted cold and pneumonia and influ- enza set in. causing his death.
