COUNTY POLICE
COURT BATTLE
CUTS ARRESTS.
Sharp Drop in Number
Of Cases Is Noted

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Oct.
1.-THE uncertainty over the
constitutionality Of the Prince
Georges county police court and
the county police department has
caused a sharp drop in the num-
ber of arrests made by the police
and the total of cases tried in the
police court.
Although no check-up Of the
number of arrests made has been
made since the validity OF the
court was challenged, it is known
that the police are arreSting only
the most flagrant of law violators.
CASES REDUCED
During September more than
$50 cases were tried in the various
sessions of the police court
throughout the county. Thus far
this month, less than so have been
tried. Officials indicate that a
drop of nearly so per cent will be
realized by the end of the month.
Although the recent ruling OF
the Maryland Court of Appeals in
validated the police court under
the old 1927 act and turned
criminal Jurisdiction back to the
justices of the peace, only two OF
them have exercised their right to
try cases. Most Of them continue
tn set bond and hold the case
for the county court.
Leaders of the county are at a
loss for a remedy of the situation.
Most Of them are of the opinion
that it viii. take an amendment to
the State constitution to rectify
matters and that cannot be &C
complished before 1910. The ques-
ton will hav to be put to the
people fo~ referendum and ratifi-
cation and that will not be possible
before the next Presidential elec-
ton.
SPECIAL SESSION
Politicians are now debating the
feasibility OF seeking a special ses-
sion of the State legislature TO
draft a constitutional amendment
that could be presented to the
people in the 1888 gubernatorial
elections.
The police court act was invali-
dated by a recent decision Of the
Appeals Cou- in Baltimore on the
grounds that the police magistrate
did not have the right to try cases
other than those in his own dis
trict. The courS act of 1887, passed
to forestal any such contingency,
has since been questioned on SINH
lar grounds
Last week the constitutionality
of the police department itself was
questioned in the police court
when an attorney asked for the
quashing OF a traffic charge on
grounds that the officer did not
have the right to make an arrest.
