Old Age

One Of the shortcomings of this
country as compared with Europe is
that people are not trained for al
avocatlon. DIR. Charles Fl. Mayo state
in a Hygeia Magazine article. When
a man quits work he does not know
what to do with his time and old az
becomes irksome. Doctor Mayo's su :.

a hobby or two.

Police Court Held illegally
Founded.

The act Of the Maryland Legislature of
1891 authorizing the Governor to appoint
police justice for the town of Takoma Park
was declared unconstitutional in an opin-
ion handed down by Judge Robert B. Peter
in the Circuit Court here.
The decision was rendered in the case of
Reuben D. Day. of Takoma Park, who was
recently sentenced by Justice A. L. Wilson.
who presides in the Takoma Park Police
Court and who was appointed under the
act referred to. to pay fine of 500 and
costs and to serve six months in the county
jail for violation of an automobile regulation.
Through the Rockville law firm of White
ford & Cissel, habeas corpus proceedings
were instituted for Days release and on
Monday the case was argued before Judge
Peter by Attorney Joseph C. Cissel. repre-
sentine Day. and States Attorney Stedman
Prescott on behalf of the State.
1t was commended by Attorney CIssel that
inasmuch as the constitution of Maryland
vests judicial powers only in the Court of
Appeals, circuit courts. orphans courts and
justices of the peace, the legislative act
complained of was unconstitutional in
that it simply provided for the appoint
ment of police justice for the town of
Tokoma Park" and did not specify that he
first be made justice of the peace.
Judge Peter held in his decision that,
las the constitution does not enumerate
police justices among the officers in whom
judicial power of the State is vested. in
my opinion that jurisdiction could not be
constitutionally conferred upon the officer
appointed under the act" Days discharge
was ordered.
If the decision is confirmed by the Court
of Appeals. where it goes automatically.
as do all decisions of circuit courts in cases
involving the constitutionaIty of legsla-
tive enactments. it will mark the end of
the Takoma Park Police Court as now con-
stituted and will mean that the court has
been functioning illegally ever since it
began activities last spring.
Such decision by the Appellate Court
also would mean that the 10 lashes Justice
Wilson recently sentenced Joseph C. Carl
ton, of Takoma Park to receive for wife
beating. would not be administered.
