The Minnesota Supreme Court on
Friday held that Joseph Pechaver of
this city, driller for the Oliver Iron

for blindness in his right eye, despite
reports of non-disability filed by his

MOTION ATTACKS
|. POLICE COURT LAW
ConstitutionaIity of Mont.
gomery County Set-up
Challenged.
B, a stan Correspondent OF the star

ROCKVILLE, Md, November 28.-
The constitutionality of the Mont
gomery County Police Court was chal-
lenged late yesterday when a demurrer
and motion to quash charges against
P. A. Knox of Washington were filed
in Circuit Court by Attorney Horace
J. Donnelly of Washington.
Knox previously had appealed q
500 fine handed down by Police JUS
tice Harold c. Smith when the court
found him guilty of tampering with
another motorists machine while at
tempting to extricate his car from a
parking place at the Manor Club, near
Norbeck.
Warrant Attacked.
Donnelly asserted in the motion to
quash the charges the court was with
out jurisdiction to issue the warrant
which Charles H. Mcdaniel. owner of
the second machine. obtained for
Knox's arrest and said further that
no county police court was created by
the State Legislature or can be Gre
ated under the State Constitution.
1t was set forth that it does not af-
firmatively appear on the face of the
proceedings that the justice of the
Police Court had jurisdiction to act
in the case and. further, that the war
rant ION its face is defective" because
it does not specify with certainty the
nature of the offense or whether il
occurred on public or private property
Held Drawn Improperly.
The attorney also stated the war
rant was not issued in conformity with
the provisions of the motor vehicle
laws. although charging a violation OF
such laws, and likewise points out
those laws apply only with the opera
tion of motor vehicles on a public
highway.
Knox's counsel charged the warrant
was improperly issued in that it was
accompanied by no af1idavits or other
information and that no copy of the
warrant or charge was served on the
appellant.
He set forth in conclusion the
charges should be quashed because
"the so-called police justice did not
inform the appellant of his right to
trial by jury"

Impetus to the campaign in Arlington
County for reduced electricity rates
is expected to be given during the
next two weeks by the County Public
Utilities Commission and citizen as
sociation committees.
The campaign, initiated last Spring,
when the County Board authorized .
survey of the feasibility Of establish.
ing q county-owned electric power
system, has waned during recent
months while County Manager Frank
C. Hanrahan has been studying . re-
port from the firm Of engineers who
made the survey.
He is expected to submit q recon-
mendation to the County Board by
January on the advisablity Of
further consideration of a county,
owned system as q means Of obtain
ing cheaper electricity rates.
Chairman to Urge Action.
Meanwhile Albert M. Jones, chair.
man Of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion for the county. said today he will
advise the commission at its next
meeting to recommend to the County
Board that some action be taken to
bring about reduced rates for the
Arlington County. consumers, who are
not receiving the benefit of the cheap
rates of the Braddock Light & Power
Co., which serves a small section Of
the county in the Rosslyn-Fort Myer
Heights Colonial Village area.
The commission has had numerous
complaints from citizens outside the
favored area for rates comparative
with those charged by the Braddock
Co., which is a subsidiary Of the Po.
tomac Electric Power Co., the chair
man stated.
In line with the move special COM
mittees of the Lyon Park Citizens
Association and the Arlington County
Civic Federation are to confer with
Chairman Jones and members Of the
Public Utilities Commission early in
December on the proposal to have the
Braddock Co. extend its service
throughout the county. it was learned
from E. L. Bennett, chairman OF the
Lyon Village body.
Willing to Expand Service.
The Braddock Co. is willing to ex-
tend throughout the county if per-
mission can be obtained from the
State Corporation Commission, Ed
mund D. Campbell, a former chair
man Of the County Public Utilities
Commission. advised the citizens re-
Gently. Although the State body has
not acted in the matter, 1t has indi-
| Gated it does not favor extension OF
the company's service farther into
territory now being served almost ex-
clusively by the Virginia Public Serv-
ice Co., Campbell said.
He urged county residents to petit
tion the State Corporation Commis.
sion asking it to require the Braddock
Co. to file schedules In additional Sec
tions Of the county.
A successful move for extension OF
the Zraddock Co. service would elimi.
nate an immediate necessity for {
