POLICE JUSTICES
BELIEVED DOOMED
Montgomery Will Junk Court
in Line With Ruling on
Prince Georges Case.
By stan Correspondent Of The Star.

." San correspondent OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, Nov. 6.-Return
Of jurisdiction over speeding cases and
other violations of the motor vehicle
regulations to the local justices of the
peace in Montgomery County was
forecast today after the first Of series
of conferences between States Attor-
ney James H. Pugh and Police Court
Judge Harold C. Smith.
The change in Jurisdiction is the
result of the recent decision by the
Maryland Court Of Appeals, which
held the State law creating Police
Courts in Prince Georges County un-
constitutional. The laws creating the
Offices in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties are basically the
same.
A preliminary conference has al
ready been held between Pugh and
Judge Smith, and another is sched-
uled Tor next week. 1t is expected
that the new set-up will 20 into effect
soon although no date has been set.
Will Go to Justices.
The effect of the new set-up would
be to have motorists arrested for vio-
lations Of the motor vehicle laws
taken Immediately before the nearest
justice of the peace, instead of being
tried before one of the two police
magistrates created by the State Legis-
lature II years ago. The two are
Judge Smith, whose Jurisdiction ex-
TENDS over the entire county. and
Judge Herman c. Heffner. whose iuris-
dictlon Is the 18th election district of
Maryland, the eastern end of the
county with headquarters at Takoma
Park.
Pugh said that the present pro-
cedure will be followed until reyi-
slons are arranged for, probably with
IN the next few days.
The present system In Montgomery
county gives exclusive Jurisdiction in
all criminal cases, and civil cases
amounting TO $500 or less, to the po-
lice justices. In Prince Georges Coun-
ty the limit in civil cases was $3.50.
out otherwise the laws were similar.
Law Held Unconstitutional
In holding the Prince Georges Conn.,
ty law unconstitutional, the Court of
Appeals held that general law had
already given Jurisdiction in such
cases to the nearest justice of the
peace. and that therefore the special
law for Prince Georges County was a
violation Of the general law: and
also that the law itself was a vio-
lation of the Maryland State con-
stitution. which prohibits the Legis-
lature from setting up courts not pro-
Vided for in the constitution.
Heretofore. justices of the peace
have had jurisdiction only to issue
warrants and summonses and accent
collateral
Just what the status Of the police
justices will be under the new set-up
was problematical. Both Judge Smith
and Judge Heffner are justices of the
peace and were designated by Gov.
Harry ". Nice as police magistrates
IN his list Of so-called green bag
appointments.
Under the new system thev will
have no more power than any other
justice OF the peace in the county to
try cases involving violation Of the
criminal code. trafic violations or
civil cases. Just what their status
Will be t to be settled in. the con.

BEAR MARKET QUIZ

Stock Exchange Request for
Probe of Slump Is
Granted.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The biggest
bear" hunt in the history of Wall
Street was on tonight in an effort to
learn whether the current stock mar
ket was deliberately manipulated.
1t was undertaken by the Twentieth
Century Fund-an independent, en-
dowed foundation which has been crit
ical of market practices in the past
at the request Of the stock exchange
The investigation will run most of
the winter with a corps Of perhaps
80 expert auditors digging deep into
the records of short sales and what
effect these bear" operations have
on falling prices.
The results will be published. the
fund promised, mo matter what they
may be-" 1t added:
The public, as we'll as the ex-
change and its members, should know
to what degree and in what ways short
selling operators have affected

during recent months"
Scaentinc Sampl1nS Process.
The sharpest economic brains Of
the country were asked to direct the
inquiry, which under present plans
will follow q scientific sampling proc
ess. The most active stock issues
both on the rising and the falling
market, will be studied intensively
The Investigators will find out who
sold what, how much, when and
how much profit he made.
Any hints, dug up in this way, that
bearish spectators forced the market
down will be followed through, wher-
ever they may lead.
The operations of the bears" have
never before been scrutinized on such
a scale. The stock market itself doe!
not know what effect short selling
has. SO it asked the fund to find out
The exchanges request for the in.
vestigation was the first such Request
the exchange ever made to an out
side, independent agency. The request
covered only "the effects Of short sell
ing" The funds acceptance, trans
mitted by letter today to Charles r
Gay, president Of the exchange, wa,
on the same basis.
How Bears" Trade.
Short" selling or bear" trading i
the practice Of selling stocks-befor'
you actually own them-on the gam
Bile that the price will fall. Here L
how 1t works:
You are q speculator. You look
over the stock quotations and pick out
a stock whose price you think is toe
high. The quotation is, perhaps, $3.50;
you think the real value is about sl00
and that sooner or later the price will
drop. So you 60 to broker and tell
him Sell 100 shares of so-and-se
stock short" The broker sells the
stock for $4,000. You do not have
the stock. but you must deliver it In
two days, so you 60 to what Wall Street
knows as the loan crowd" and bor-
row the 100 shares. These you de-
livei the buyer, and you collect the
$4,000. Then you wait for the stock
to 60 down. II it goes down to s100
you take $4,000 Of your $4,000 and
buy 100 shares. You give these back
to the fellow who loaned them to you
and pocket $4,000 profit. If the stock
goes up instead Of down, you lose
money.
Short" sellers defend this practice
on the grounds that it balances the
market against margin traders, spec
ulators who buy on the gamble that
prices will rise. Opponents OF short
selling blame 1t for deepening mar
ket slumps.
