ADVOCATES RETENTION OF
CRIMINAL COURT HERE

AC
have written tie enclosed
article expressing some of my
views on a matter believed by me
to be of great Importance to the
citizens of Monroe county. and in
order that it may be given the
greatest possible publicity, earn
estly request that you publish the
same in your valuable paper.
Thanking you, / beg to remain
Very truly yours,
j. VINING HARRIS.
In order to remedy intolerable
conditions incident to the admin
istration of criminal law in Mon
roe county. the good citizens of
Key West and Monroe county dur
ing the year 1895, by petition and
legislative enactment established
a Criminal Court of Record for
Monroe County; since that time
this court has administered the
criminal laws. in all cases in which
It had jurisdiction, with prompt
ness, impartiality. justice and
mercy. and | am told, with salts
faction to most of the citizens of
Monroe County. Before the es-
tabIishment of the Criminal Court,
Justices of Peace lad original jur-
isdiction to try all misdemeanors;
their method of procedure fire.
quently caused grave miscarriage
of Justice. Prior to 1895. these
so called justices courts had be-
come and were a menace to the
peace. happiness, liberty and pros
perity of our people. as well as a
burdensome expense to our coun-
ty. It seemed impossible at that
time for those unfortunates
brought before them to obtain any
measure of justice or semblance of
a fair trial. There were almost
daily trials of numerous frivilous
cases at great expense to the coun-
ty and its citizens; excessive costs
were imposed and collected and
other Illegal acts were committed,
bufdensonie to our people =
In counties having no criminal
court of record an felonies are
tried before a jury in the circuit
court; there jurors are paid by the
state and not the county.
In counties having criminal
courts of record, all felOnies- ex-
ceIting capital cases. and all mis-
demeanors are tried before a jury
in the Criminal Court and the state
pays for these jurors and not the
county.
In counties having no criT-
insl court of record justices of
peace try all misdemeanors and
perform acts of a committing
magistrate in cases Of felOnies. If
a jury is used in justices of peace
courts the county pays for same
and not the state.
Until a few years ago Monroe
county was a part of a Judicial
Circuit composed of two or more
counties; the judge and state
attorney resided outside of Mon
roe County, and the circuit court
convened but twice a year (every
six months) during that time
there were instances of our citi-
zens being charged with felonies
who were not able to furnish the
exorbitant bond imposed by the
then justices of peace. consequent
IN they were jailed for six months
to wait the action of the circuit
court; when this court convened
the Judge and state attorney were
frequently so crowded with work
in other counties that they could
not devote the desired time to
these criminal cases. which were
frequently continued for six

PLAY To TIE

On snow-covered field, at ST..

managed to play a tie game with
st. Adams yesterday. The final
score was 2 to 2.
Park View scored first, Hudson
making the goal. Jones, for St.
Adams soon tied the count at
1-all and added another to put St.
Adams in the lead. Lynard, for
Park View then scored another
goal to bring the game to a dead
lock.
Throughout the second period,
Park View was continually threat
ening, but Schoenfield, St. Alhan's
goalie, made number of saves.

FLOOR HOPES

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. ia large
section of the football squad, dis
missed a little over a week ago,
reassembled this week on the
basketball court, the transfer in
cluding also two Of the coaches.
Buzz" Berries, the Navy's ace
gridiron back, who is captain of
the five and plays center, led the
migration, with three other regu-
lars-Bob Dornin and Bob Man
delkorn, ends who play regular
forward and guard. and Tommy
King, halfback, who is a change
guard on the court team.
Other football men who are
playing basketball are: Clark
Hood, sub end, and Walter Bay
less, change tackle, center candi-
dates; Carl Fellows. George Whit
myre and Snead Schmidt, all
backs, who are likely to make
some of the regulars hustle for
positions this winter.
Johnny Wilson, backfield coach
of the eleven, is head coach of
basketball, and Tom Hamilton,
footballs head mentor, will turn
tables and help out Wilson.
Ron Rankin, forward, was the
only regular of last year lost by
graduation, and besides the foot
ball men-Borries, Dornin and
Mandelkorn - Rod Badger, regu-
lar guard of last season is on
hand.
Art Decker, who started as
regular center last year, but was
injured, is also on hand, as is
Jack Cline, a forward, who
showed good form toward the
end of the season.
Outstanding plebeS of last sea-
son, who are on the varsity squad
this year are Bob Ruge, a fast,
accurately shooting forward; ;
Frank Shamer, a tall, active cen.
ter, and Snead Schmidt, who
plays guard.
Should one of the four center
candidates, Decker, Hood, Bayless
or Shamer, make a good showing,
Berries may be shifted to for
ward, his old position.

Pearson and Company have con.
cocted-and it is the most impor-
tant feature of any banquet be-
sides the gulping of the usual
choice foods-iS the selection of
the principal speaker on the pro-
gram.
That speaker is Lieut.. Tom
Hamilton, known throughout the
football world today as the sue
cessful coach of the Navy eleven
recent conquerors of Army.
Choice MOrsel
Landing" Hamilton, as Gro
gan so ably put it the other day.
is a choice morsel for this ever
important Dewitt Alumni grid
banquet. For it goes without say
ing, Hamilton is a great football
coach-always has been-and his
presence will lend that certain
big league" air about the ban.
quet which otherwise might be
just another banquet without his
presence.
The affair will be supported by
the presence of several other foot
ball notables, too, including such
we'll known coaches as Dutch
Bergman, Catholic University; !;
Jack Faber, University of Mary
land; Jim Pixlee, George Wash
ington, and Jack Hagerty, George

town at the .'resert moment, but
are expected to be back in time
for the banquet.

velop and it will be a great source
Of satisfaction and qualification
to the hundreds of alumni in at
tendance. Peter Grogan reports
he'll have his invitation list COM
pleted within the next few days.
Prep League Probable
Although prep school officials
have tried many times in the past
to organize a league for prep
school competition in most every
branch of sport-all to no avail
the latest efforts by three mem.
bers of the group promises to
materialize into something very
concrete.
Horse Holbrook, new coach at
st. Johns is the most enthusias'
tic member of the movement this
time. He has the backing Of Or
rel Mitchell, mentor at Gonzaga,
and Joe Gardner, at Georgetown
Prep.
The big item now is to get st,
Adams, Friends and Landon in
terested. A meeting is to be held
Saturday night at Gonzaga High
School to thoroughly discuss
plans, which if successful at all,
will give Washington one more
scholastic organization of high
caliber-an organization that will
offer football and basketball as
its chief pieces de resistances.
