CHECKS GAS
HUCKSTERS
Close Watch Is Ordered BY
Commissioners for
Violations

The Montgomery County
Commissioners, at their meet
ing held yesterday in Rock
vile, instructed their clerk,
Charles Y. Latimer, to notify
the chief of police to check up
On all gas hucksters in the
county to ascertain whether
they are complying with the
law.
All persons selling gasoline and
kerosene must, beside securing
peddler's licenses. obtain permis-
sion from the owner if they stop
on private property. In the met
ropolitan district, however, they
not only must get permission, but
can stop only in the commercial
zones.
Complaints have been made
that the hucksters are creating a
traffic hazard by the manner in
which they are parking their
trucks.
Meanwhile Capt. Joseph C. Cis-
sci, of counsel to the commissions
ers, is writing to authorities in
nearby cities to see what methods
they use in dealing with the new
problem.

JUDGE, SHERIFF
AND ATTORNEY
ASSA|LED
Breakdown of County Ma
Chinery Allows for Graft,
Bribery, Discharge of Cases

|. ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 19.-The
report of the Anne Arundel
county grand jury which as
sails the country law7enforce-
ment machinery as having
"completely broken down, y
has been in turn attacked by
Circuit Court Judge Robert
Moss and State s Attorney A.
Theodore Brady.
The judge, through his zeal for
court efficiency, has been COM
PEELED to take an active part in
bringing to trial certain criminals
through information brought to
or sought directly by himself. and
this is improper" in the judge
who is to try the cases, said the
jury report.
ASSailS Brady, Attorney
AS for Brady, although the jury
report cleared him of any crimi,
!. nj intent, it attacked his own
statement that he makes little
preparation of cases before going
to trial, and repeatedly told the
court he knew nothing of the
case he was about to prosecute.
The report urged that he correct
the above practice"
Judge Moss, in commenting on
Tho l. i Il
give penny for the thoughts of
the grand jury. and I am an
SWerable to God for anything
NAV have done"
States Attorney Brady said:
THE mountain has labOred
and given birth to a mouse. But
unfortunately, the mouse is
) white and the father will not
recognize it for it has not any
black spots"
Sheriff's Office Hit
In its sweeping denunciation of
1aW-enforcement in the county,
the jury also included the sheriff'S
office, adding:
"MOSt of the deputies are un.
derpald and are thereby handi-
capped and made fit targets
for bribery such as is alleged
and indicated to have existed in
their ranks recently. Further,
these men almost without ex-
ception are completely without
training and often without
aptitude for this work."
AS for justices of the peace, the
jury report cited lack of qualifica-
ttons for this work, quoting:
'The absence in some cases
of properly qualified justices as
evidenced by the conviction of
one for accepting a bribe, by
the conviction of another for
possession of slot machines, and
by the utter inadequacy of the
docket kept by another justice
which consists of a common
sOftback scent memorandum
book"
