Eyes of Police
Keen for s35
Auto Tags .

Greetings. Have you new 1896
tags on your automobile? If not,
you had better not try to drive it
today. For the goblins-in the
shape of police-will get you If
you do.
The green and white 1885 tags
expired at midnight, and while
police announced they would be
good until a. m, that was the
absolute deadline.
Almost 5000 motorists remained
today without the new yellow and
black tags of 1896.
With the coming of the new
year, the old police traffic bureau
passed out of existence, making
way for the new traffic division,
commanded by Capt. Milton
Smith.
Inspector Benjamin Lamb be-
comes inspector Of traffic for the
District, and will command all
motorcycle policemen operating
0Jt of the precincts.

Flood Of Divorce Suits
Gets Attention After
Statute Change

The Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia closed it books
on a hectic year when it wound
UP the business Of 1885.
Attacks on New Deal measures
by the score, trial of a member
Of Congress on conspiracy charges,
indictment Of a former Army gen.
eral officer and indictment OF al
legged conspiratorS against group
Of Texas politicians in connection
with a PWA project were high
lights Of tee year.
Divorce Suits Numerous
A veritable deluge Of divorce
suits followed a change in the
domestic relations laws of the Dis
trict which became effective four
months ago.
Dockets in all branches Of the
court are in a satisfactory condl-
ton for the coming year, officials
said.
Equity divisions Of the court
apparently made the greatest
strides toward reaching a current
condition, it appeared, with the
exception Of the criminal courts,
which have maintained that con-
dition for more than two years.
The year 1885 saw important
procedural changes placed in
effect in the court with enactment
into law of a declaratory judg.
ment statute, which allows parties
in a controversy to obtain court
decisions regarding their relative
positions without actually com.
mencing punitive action.
Appeal Rule Changed
Another important procedural
change resulted from a rule pro-
mulgated in the United States
supreme Court to the effect that,
when defendants in criminal cases
are convicted, the trial court shall
remand them to jail pending an
appeal, unless substantial queS-
tons of law are involved. Grim
inal court justices in the local
court have followed this rule
almost invariably.
1t Is estimated that the new
divorce law brought an increase
Of nearly 1000 in the number Of
suits filed in equity court. A
total Of 2,239 equity suits. were
filed last year, an increase of 722
over the number filed in 1884.
Ordinarily an average of Is suits
month are filed in divorce pro-
ceedings, but such suits alone
brought more than 800 new entries
on the court docket since August Z.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Jan. /.
Short of money, University of
Maryland officials temporarily
dropped the idea of setting up the
country's only school of crime
detection here.
Acting President H. C. Byrd
yesterday said that since no def,

the school has been discovered, he
is not officially bringing the idea
before the board of regents.
The infant plans for the school
were disclosed by District Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald a few
weeks ago in speech to the Dis
trict Medical Society. The plans,
fathered by Major Goddard, ball
istics expert who set up the de.
partment Of criminology at North
western University, were compre'
henSive.
They included a complete set
of courses in the psychology Of
criminals, crime in its relation to
medicine and surgery, legal train.

States attorneys, model investi-
cations and presentation of the
evidence in court, and other fea-

crime school in Paris.
Radio Service Included
Along with the instruction was
planned radio station for broad
casting information on criminals
and a magazine devoted to spread.

lice over the country, according
to Mr.. Byrd.
Mr.. Byrd said that any further
consideration of the proposed
school will depend on how it can
be financed.

FILED HERE

Beating. the dead line" by a
hairs breadth, John Ogdon, OF
Indianapolis, named Secretary Of
Treasury Henry Morgenthau and
william A. Julian, U. S. Treas
urer, defendants in a suit filed
yesterday in District Supreme
Court, seeking to force payment
of six $1,000 Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds in gold.
Acting as his own counsel, Og-
don stated that he represented
the estate of his father, James
w. Ogdon, who died in April, 1888.
The petition charged that the
bonds when issued promised pay
ment when due in gold dollars"
and asked the court to compel
both Treasury officials to fulfill
their agreement regardless of the
fact that this country has aban-
doned the gold standard.
The bonds, according to Ogdon,
were due for payment yesterday
and the estate has no other
means of collecting than the
court action.

in view Of the increase In popula-

The stork did a record business
last year, with 1887 babies added

Though the number Of new
