ginia, ana at the University of

R|TCH|E NAMES
NEW JUDGE
IN COUNTY.
Choice of De Lashmutt to Fill
Rockville Court Position
Ends Speculation

The appointment yesterday of
Donald AyreS De LaShmutt as
Judge of the Montgomery county
police court at Rockville ended
three weeks of speculation by
residents of the county as to who
the new Judge would be. following
the resignation, october 25, Of
Judge Charles w. woodward who
succeeded Judge Robert B. Peter
as judge of circuit court.
Prominently mentioned was
Stedman Prescott, States attor-
ney for Montgomery county. Mr..
Prescott did not get the post Tor
two reasons. One was that it was
felt that he is an able prosecutor
and nothing would be gained, even
though he proved an able judge,
if an inferior States attorney
were named to replace him; also
there was the political side OF the
appointment.
Governor Ritchie being a Demo
crat, the Democratic organization
was certain a Democratic judge
would be appointed, if Mr.. Pres
colt. also a Democrat, were re-
tained as prosecutor. If, however
he were appointed judge, a va
cancy would be created for the
States attorneyship. While the
governor appoints judges, the
other post would be filled by the
judges of the circuit court, Of
whom only Judge woodward is a
Democrat.
The new judge, who lives in
Rockville, was born in Frederick,
Md, December "a, 1885, and was
educated in the public and pri-
vate schools there. In 1910 he
received his LII. B. at George
town University. He served as a
clerk in the quartermaster gen.
erals office in the War Depart
ment from 1904 to 1910 and later
became law clerk in the solicitor S
office at the State Department.
He practiced law in Washing
ton and New York from 1915 to
1921, when he entered the auto
mobile business in Rockville. He
had been admitted to practice
before the District of Columbia
Supreme Court and Court of Ap'
peals, the United States Supreme
Court and the Maryland Court of
Appeals.

Maryland Commissioner of
Vehicles Wants Permit Tests

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1S.-The
annual report of E. Austin
Baughman, commissioner of motor
vehicles, today urged a new gen.
eral registration of motor vehicle
operators over the State to check
up on their present residences
and particularly their qualifica-
tionS for operating a car.
Urging legislation to provide
for this Statewide check.up, he
says the last such general regis
tration was in 1910, and since
then many permit holders have
become incapacitated through
loss of limbs, hearing, one eye, or
are suffering from advanced
years, sickness, nerve troubles or
other things which make them a
menace on the highways even
though they hold operating per-
mits renewable from time to time.
He urges another law requiring
owners and operators to register
their new addresses when they

BYRNS IS READY.
TO RESUBM|T
PROPOSAL
House Appropriations Chief
to Press Measure at
Lame Duck Session

In his plan for Government
economy Representative Joseph
w. Byrns CD. chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee,
said today he will reintroduce
his bill for merging the War and
Navy departments on the opening
day Of the lame duck" Congress.
Under the terms of the bill
the department will be called
department of defense and Byrns
estimates it will save the Gov
ernment $5O,000,000 each year.
To Call Up Pay Cut
At the same time. he said, he
will place the question of the
extension Of the Government fur
lough-pay cut to the full Appro-
priations Committee at its first
meeting early in December.
Representative ByrnS said II
the vote is favorable, economy
provisions will be written uni
tormly in every appropriation
measure in lieu of continuing
the economy act.
Thomas F.. Flaherty, secretary
treasurer of tn, National Fedora
tion of Postoffice Clerks, has
started a counter attack on the
Budget Bureau payment exten-
sion proposals and hopes to de-
feat the furlough move.
New Pay Cut Denied
Flaherty claims that a con-
tinuation of the economy bill for
another fiscal year would be a
notice to the American people
that no business recovery is in
sight prior to July /. 1894.
Representative John McDuffie,
Democratic whip of Alabama,
denied the report he will sponsor
an additional pay cut at this ses-
sion. He said he also sees little
likelihood at this time, of repeal
ing the furlough and substituting
the 10 per cent pay cut he pro-
posed at the last session.

FINDS TREASURE
IN PENNIES

How many pennies make IL
pounds and one-half?
If you know that you can save
Donation Libeau, jr., of Manassas,
the trouble Of counting that
weight of rusted copper coins
which he found the other day.
The counting is going to be u
chore, and so nobdy knows yet
the value of his find.
Evidently the cache came from
a bank robbery, for the coins were
wrapped in a canvas sack similar
to those used by banks genera
tion ago. The sack was badly de-
composed and dropped to pieces
when he touched it. Some of the
pennies were still in rolls. The
sack was hidden near the high
way, where it had evidently been
thrown by the robbers.
The latest date of any penny in
the batch was 1901.
