.UNT|DY D. c. COURT
ANDDRUNKENNESS
English Judge Sees No I'M
provement on Third Visit
in 10 Years.
DECLARES BUILDING
DISGRACE TO CAPITAL
Justice Blaiklock Also Amazed
by Procedure and Conduct
of Lawyers.

Justice George Blaiklock, of the Re-
corder Court of Grantham. England,
found no improvement in the dis
graceful condition of the local Police
Court building on making his third
visit in 10 years today, but expressed
amazement at the number of intoXi-
cation cases.
The English jurist, who is also JUS
tice Of the peace for Kent, said the
court building is disgrace to Wash
ington and that he was shocked at
the number of persons charged with
intoxication, which far exceeds that
Of England.
He said he believed the condition
was largely due to rebound against
prohibition and that there would be a
gradual lessening as the novelty of
legal liquor wears out.
If there is not" he declared, there
will be a natural tendency toward
curbing the amount of liquor sold"
He does not, however, believe this
country will ever return to prohibi-
ton.
Critical OF Procedure.
Describing the Police Court, Justice
Blaiklock declared the building is
crowded and antiquated and the court
rooms noisy. 1T is very unpleasant" 4"
he asserted, ''for the judges to be
compelled to administer justice in a
building which would not be condoned
in any part of England"
He was equally critical OF the pro-
cedure in the courts, particularly in
jury court.
In England" he said. lawyers
stand in one place and conduct their
cases in a dignif1ed manner, while
here they are permitted to walk up
and down. shout, and otherwise con-
duct themselves in a manner that is
anything but becoming"
Referring to the procedure in the
higher courts he said that justice
here is the opposite of that of Eng
land. where it lis swift and sure"
In the case of a man convicted of
murder in England, he said, the pris-
oner may appeal to the Court of
Criminal Appeals, but, even II he
does, his fate will be determined in
less than a month.
Says City Should Be Example.
Washington, the Capital of one of
the greatest nations in the world"
asserted Justice Blaiklock, should
certainly have a new Police Court
building. A modern structure would
add dignity to the proceeding and
would lessen the great strain which
is put upon the judges"
Justice Blaiklock, who has occupied
the bench for more than 20 years. has
made numerous trips to the United
States and Canada. He is here visit
ing his two sons, John Blaiklock,
master mechanic of the Capital Tran
sit Co., and Edward M. Blaiklock, en-
ploye of one of the local banks.
In terminating the interview. JUS
tice Blaiklock said: "I have visited
your Police Court three times in the
last 10 years and have founc. no i'm
provement in its condition.

ROBERTS PLANS BILL
TO PROTECT WAGES
Favors Criminal Prosecution of
Employers Who Cheat Their
Workers.

Criminal prosecution for employers
who cheat their workers out of wages
will be proposed by Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts in bill to be
drafted for consideration at the next
session Of Congress.
Roberts announced he has been
promised the support Of members of
the Womens City Club and the
Women's University Club. He plans
to model the measure after laws in
New York and California.
The plan would be intended for the
protection principally of the small
wage Garner, especially those in the
domestic servant class. Withholding
of wages, or portions Of wages, with
out due cause would be made crimi-
nal offense.
Roberts said scores Of wage earners
here had complained to him. He said
court action now is of no benefit to
the workers because of the expense
involved in forcing payments.

POLICE CHAUFFEURS
FOR DRUNKS SCORED
Hazen Declares Denver, Colo,
Plan Is Not Solution to
Drunken Driver Problem.

Should members of the police force
be sent to liquor parties, not as
guests, OF course, but to act as ci1auf-
feurs for inebriates who should not
be allowed to attempt to drive their
own cars home?
The question arose today when the
District Building heard reports of
such plan being adopted at Denver,
Colo.
Undoubtedly, such a plan would
cut down the number of automobile
accidents" said Commissioner Hazcn,
when pressed for comment, but it
strikes me that is not the proper
solution of drunken driving. People
should not get drunk in the first
place; particularly automobile drivers.
I fail to see why police should act
as nurses to drunken automobile
drivers.
at is against the law to drive while
intoxicated. Drivers must stop driv-
ing If they must get drunk. That Is
their responsibility; not the business
of the police. We haven't enough
police now to do our own work prop
erly without borrowing trouble from
Others"

TERMITES CAUSE
 DAMAGE LOCALLY

The Terminix Company of New England. who are licensees under the B. l.. Bruce Company of Ten nessee, in their Investigations have turned up several infestation in Waterbury.
 Termite damage is usually not detected until considerable havoc has been wrought in the wood or beams they have infested.
 If the timbers are weakened, as is usually the case, there is no re- course sometimes, but to replace entirely, which is an expensive procedure.
 Therfore, if you suspect termites or have. noticed any swans of what are commonly called flying ants, it would be wise thing to obtain expert advice immediately.
 The Terminix Company is world wide and is the only company guaranteeing complete relief and protection from national foe, the termite.

 The street carnival of Casper S. Davis, Jr., Post, No. 136, American Legion, closed last night with good attendance. This was the first event of this kind ever sponsored and was very successful. The mem- bers of the post and the committee in charge are most grateful to the Waterville public flor the very fine support which was given the en- terprise. As a result the post will be able to transport it's Junior Fife Drum and Bugle Corps to Hart ford for the department convention of the American Legion on August 10th.
 The various booths and stands did an excellent business on the four nights on which the carnival was conducted, in spite of adverse weather conditions. The carnival was originally scheduled for Thurs day, Friday and Saturday of last week but was rained out on Friday. This made it necessary to hold it over for two evenings this week, Wednesday and Thursday. Last nights attendance was undoubted- ly kept down because of the heavy showers during the day, but a good crowd was on hand.
 All members of the post are re- minded of the regular monthly business meeting to be held at the post rooms on next Tuesday eve- ming at eight o'clock.
