ECONOMY GROUP
PUTS SAVING
At S380,000
Bill Calls for One Police Court
In Each County, But Con-
SoIidation Is Urged
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Times Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Jan. 19.-Vir-
ginia's senate economy committee
yesterday introduced a bill calling
for the mandatory installation Of
trial justice systems, now in effect
in Arlington and Fairfax coun-
ties, and elimination of justices of
the peace as trial magistrates.
Under the terms of the bill,
such justices would be appointed
by the judge of the circuit court,
as now is done in Fairfax county.
Arlington's police court judge is
elected.
The bill calls for one police
court for each county, Of which
there are 100, but the committee
which reported today, suggested
consolidation of a number Of the
counties in their trial courts.
Their Pay Put at $5OO,OOO
:. The report declared:
"Justices Of the peace were
paid by the Stal9 Cor the year
1881, S97,516,OOO. This sum
represents their compensation
only in so far as those GRIM
inal cases are concerned in
which the criminals did not
pay the costs.
"a fair estimate Of the
amount Of compensation now
received by justices of the
peace in Virginia would be at
least $5OO,OOO.
"This would pay 100 trial
justices, which would be one
for every county in the State,
an annual salary Of $4,000,
which, it is conceded, would be
entirely too large an average
salary for trial justices"
It Is believed go trial justices
In the counties would be all that
are needed in view of the fact
that a large number of counties
could consolidate for this pur-
pose.
The report continued:
"At an average compensation
Of $4,000 a year, the total cost
to the people Of Virginia would
be $4,000, which would entail
q net saving Of $38O,OOO, aside
from the fact that q more
satisfactory administration of
justice would be had"
FURTHER MERGER PROPOSED
The report recommended that
juvenile and domestic relations
courts be consolidated with trial
justice courts, and pointed out
that many of the cases now going
to the higher courts on appeal
would be settled in the lower
courts, with a resultant large say.
ing in witness and juror *eeS
Continuing, the report recon-
mended that:
! "The trial justice system be
+, made compulsory in Virginia,
, with the provision that small
. counties could consolidate for
the purpose; that the State be
relieved from paying any costs
to the trial justices; that these
courts be given jurisdiction to
try and determine violations of
the law with reference to intOxi-
eating liquors; that the present
juvenile and domestic relations
court be 'ispensed with and
the. jurisdiction be conferred
upon the trial justices"
Members Of the committee are
Senators Robert o. Norris, jr.,
William M. Tuck and Major M.
Hillard.

Biggest Bum

bina, the African elephant at
the Zoo.
Signs William Blackburn,
veteran headkeeper:
"She's a perfect tramp. She
has found out that begging
gets her peanuts and tidbitS

Jumbina has been known to
eat as much as an entire basket
of peanuts, bags and all. She
likes oranges by the dozen, but
if she can't get 'em that way,
she isn't too proud to beg
pieces.
Moreover, if Zoo visitors turn
her down, she has acquired the
nice, little habit of blowing sa-
liva on them through her
trunk. If they haven't peanuts
or fruit bags about them, she
ignores them.

Priblof Pelt Sales
 Show Price Declines

Appreciable declines in pro- ceeds of sales of fur seal pelts from the Priblof islands were noted in auctions held October 15, as compared with those of last spring, according to the ketchikan Chronicle. Decreas- es amounted to as much as 32 per cent under the previous proceeds.
 Fox pelts brought as much as 43 per cent less than in the spring sales.
 Black seal pelts averaged S16.06 each, which is a decl.ne of 15 per cent, haywood brown brown pelts averaged $16.32, a decline of 32 per cent, and safari brown pelts averaged $21.22 each. Safari brown is an innovation in fur seal dye ing.
 In the sale of white fox pelts the decline was from $22.55 each last spring to $13.32, or an average of Al per cent less. Blue fox sales averaged $20.45 a pelt, or decrease of 43 per cent from the average of the spring sales, when they aver aged S35.72 each.

Alaska's First Automobile
 Given Place In Museum

Rescued from a nine years accumulation of dust in an ob- scure corner of a Juneau gar age, Alaska's first homemade automobile is to be given a place of honor in the museum of the Alaska College at Fair banks, according to the Far therest North Collegian.
 The car, a natty Little two- scatter, was constructed by Robert E. Sheldon, postmaster at Fairbanks, during his resi- dence in Skagway in 1905. Skagway did not boast any autos at that time and MT. Sheldon had no models to copy but managed to evolve the car from descriptions and pictures of the new invention.
 Power was provided by a single cylinder, two-cycle ma rine engine with a friction clutch. The body is of wood W h 'old-fash;oned buggy wheels and springs, while the hood is covered with tin. In place of a steering wheel it's course was directed by means of a jointed gas pipe which protrudes from the hood. A carbide lamp on a bracket on the front of the car provided light for night driving.

The International Way fill was virtually completed dur the past week and only a small amount of Surfacing re- mains to be done to finish Ithc project, on which the Bureau of Public Roads has been en- gagged for several weeks.
 This excellent public im- pavement has also been ex- tended to include the widening of the highway from the fill to a point on the international boundary line opposite the stone house. When completed, the road will have a width of over 20 feet, with drains along both sides to carry of surface water. The widening of the formerly narrow roadway at this point will be of great bene- fit to the heavy traffic passing up the Salmon valley to and from Stewart and Premier.
 Owing to the increased width of the roadway, it was found necessary to remove the broad stairway in front of the public library building. Entrance to the building is now obtained by a stairway at the east end of the structure.

 Connecticut communities have long been famous for their old and mighty elms. Waterbury can boast several right in the heart of the city which date back many years.

Lost Population

A Chicago census gives loss of 118,OOO people from April, 1880, to the present time. And this probably doesn't repre-. sent the entire loss. A smaller city of the big ten, which reports loss of about 2O,- 900 in the same period, figures that it's population peak was two or three years earlier than 1880, and that it's entire loss from that peak is about 8O,OO0. If there were a similar trend in Chicago, its total loss from pre-depression level would be about half million.
 Nearly all of the large cities, which are primarily industrial, have been losing rather heavily Forecasts of continued loss and decentralization, however, may be somewhat discounted. With business improved the losses will probably be made up, though future gains may be less rapid than past gains. There is new and poig- nant appreciation of subsistence farms" and other rural possibilities, yet the lure of city job is still strong.

Give Elm Blazes

Representative John D. Thoms, newly elected minority leader of the democratic party in the 1885 Legislature, promises a vigorous program. In this respect he should have the backing not alone of his fellow partymen, but of those republicans who are truly desrous of seeing Con- nectiCut keep in step with legislative progress. There are many important matters to be discussed and acted upon by our incoming Assembly. We can rest as sured from the local solon's words that the democrats will do all in their power to live up to party platforms and cam paign promises.
 We don't expect that the democrats will secure any concessions from the republl- cans in the way of committee assignments. While it has long been a sore point with democrats that republicans overloaded the committees with their own members, even the shift in power of 1883 did not prevent similar performance ln the House, which was as overwhelmingly re- publican then as it will be in 1885. It is quite a coincidence, though, that twenty two years ago Representative Thoms's father, ex-Mayor William E. Thoms, forced republicans controlling the House to give democrats equal representation by refusing Senate (controlled by the dem- ocrats) approval of the joint rules.
 There is every reason to hope that all three parties having representation in the 1885 Legislature will get together on 9 program of legislation that meets with public approval There are important measures to be taken care of that demand not divided support but unanimous. Such things as tax revision, liquor law changes, unemployment insurance, and other social laws do not come from the one party, but all working for the common good of the state. It is up to our legislators now to prove themselves worthy of the title we bestow upon them and the duty we entrust to them.
