expected materially to relieve conges-
tion at the Peace Cross as we'll as in
the City of Annapolis.
The Central avenue route can be
used now for traffic going to Annapolis,
but the new stretch Of road will make
it possible to get to the beach section
south Of Annapolis without going
through the city. Mr.. Guthrie said
the new road is being built by the
county with the help of the Works

Police Bench Buster Than
UsuaI-NeW Method for
Traffic Cases,

Police Court is buster than ever
since moving into new quarters as the
result Of numerous factors not con-
nected with the transfer from its anti
quated building to the new block long
structure on Fifth street between E
and F street NV, court officials said
today
The unprecedented jam was particu-
larry noticeable today as Judges Ed
ward M. Curran, Walter j. Casey and
Hobart Newman tackled the crowded
Monday docket without the assistance
of Judge John p Mcmahon, who left
last Thursday for To-day vacation.
One of the complicating factors is
the indication that no new substitute
to serve during absence of one Of the
four Police Court judges will be ap-
pointed when the term of Judge Robert
E. Mattingly of Municipal Court ex-
pires shortly.
Another is new method of handling
traffic collision cases. which now are

cial police squad instead Of being sifted
by preliminary hearings before an as
sistant corporation counsel to deter
mine the probable guilt Of the de-
PENDANTS.
Each Of the four Police Court
judges is entitled to one months vaca-
ton year and this, in addition to
sick leave averaging about Is days
per year for each judge, cuts down to
six months the actual time for all the
judges to be on duty. Chief Clerk Wal
ter F. Bramhal pointed out.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
George D. Nelson estimated the cor
poration counsel's office at Police
Court is 500 cases behind in its docket
at present.
A bill to provide an additional Po-
lice Court judge to relieve the jam
has been prepared by Corporation
Counsel Elwood Seal and sent to the

HOUSE UNIT DELAYS
DC. COURT MEASURE
Survey to Be Made on Proposal
for Magistrates to Handle
Minor Infractions.

Action was delayed by the Judiciary
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee today on the Palmisano
bill to establish a system Of magis-
trate courts in Washington ending q
comprehensive survey of the Police
Court docket by Corporation Counsel
Ewood H. Seal
Mr.. Seal was instructed to make the
study when only one witness ap-
peared at scheduled public hearing
on the bill. No testimony was taken
by the subcommittee
The measure would establish four
courts in four police pre-
cinct stations to handle cases in
volving minor infractions of police
and traffic regulations. The plan is
designed primarily to expedite trial
of persons arrested for minor offenses.
Chairman McGehee said there has
been some opposition to the proposal
to allow magistrate courts to handle
traffic cases, but he believes this fea-
ture should be retained in the bill.

to make a statement. but added: Il
think it is Mr.. Kennedys own problem
and he knows best what to do"
Although its frightfully tough on
debutantes," said Miss Stellita Staple

ton, lit was a necessary stand for Mr.
Kennedy to take this year. I hope it
won't be permanent though"
Miss Stapletons presentation in
1885, at the first court of jubilee year
was more pretentious than usual. 1t
was not public court that she faced
and she rubbed elbows with royalty at
a dinner that followed.
Mrs. SnoWden Fahnestock, daughter
of former Representative James Beck

fact "lot of pull" is necessary for q
court presentation and said: There's

Trustees of Howard University will
meet at 10 am. tomorrow to discuss
the strike Of approximately l25 men
working en- two Public Works Admin
istration projects at the institution in

nine :lor-union laborers on repair
work at the home of DR.. Mordecai
w. Johnson, university president.
Work has been suspended for two
weeks on the $l,5oo,oOo administra-
ton building and dormitory project.
Colored union laborers, on strike
since two weeks ago last Thursday,
continued to picket the Sixth and
Fourth street entrances to the campus.
They carried posters accusing DR..
Johnson of being "a labor exploiter"
and "a union wrecker."
In stateren, announcing the
trustees meeting, Dr. johnson said
"the ISSUES at sake in the present
strike are matters to be decided by
the board, which has not met since
the dispute began"

Il may say for the trustees that
there is no question of trustee an
tagonism to organized labor" DR..
johnson continued There are three
contracts at present in force at How
ard University. involving a total of
Sl,638.000. Union labor is in control
of all the work opportunities and
wages on two of these contracts in
volving 81, $780, 900, or 994 per cent of
all the work and wages in question.
"The questions at issue revolve
solely around the work being aone by
seven Negro laborers and two white
laborers on repair and renewals job
involving $4,000, or less than six
tenths of one per cent of the work
opportunities and wages involved in
this strike. The representa- tives of
the organized laborers are demanding
that the trustees forthwith drive these
nine men off the repair and renewals
job by canceling the contract Of the
firm which employs them"
End of Strike Urged.
After union officials had called of
the workers on the p w. A. projects,
Secretary Ickes, who is P. w. A. ad-
ministrator, is understood to have
written to DR.. Johnson, urging him
to end the strike by canceling the

GANCSTER|SHE
AFTER SHOOTING
Paul Nelson Is Seized, but
Victim in Attempted Killing
Is Missing.

Prince Georges County police today
were holding Paul j. Nelson, 80, men,
ber OF the gang of the slain Carlton G.
"Cotty' Williams. in connection with
an attempted Staying early yesterday
at Mike Young's Tavern, on the Marl-
boro pike.
However. officers still are searching
for the intended victim. who is said
to be a United States Capitol police
man. Members of the Capitol force
declared this morning they had heard
OF the shooting" but had no further
information.
Meanwhile Capt. I. c. Keck, acting
chief OF detectives, announced that
Lloyd Coblentz. proprietor of a store
in the 1900 block of North Capitol
street. went to Upper Marlboro. Md,
today and identified Nelson as the
lone bandit who held him up and
robbed him of s25 Saturday night. De-
tective Sergts. Elmer Lewis and Paul
Ambrose accompanied Mr.. Coblentz
to Marlboro.
Nelson was arrested at Young's inn
yesterday after a search which began
at 2 am. when a man who identified
himself as a Capitol guard reported
Nelson had fired shot at him.
The guard, county police stated de-
parted without leaving his name
with the desk clerk on duty at the
Marlboro station at the time.
Shell Exploded.
Nelson. who was taken into custody
by Policemen Edwin Cissel and
Charles MCGUIRE, was booked for
carrying concealed weapon and also
for investigation. He had .32-caliber
revolver with an exploded shell in the
cylinder, Mr. Cissel said.
Mr.. Cissel stated that Nelson was in
a dazed condition" and failed to give
any coherent answers to questions
asked him by both Prince Georges
County officers and Detective E. E..
Thompson of the Washington police
force.
1t was said by Mr.. Cissel that a num-
ber OF conflicting stories regarding the
manner in which the shooting took
place were told to police, the only
point on which witnesses were able to
agree being that one shot was fired.
He said that the man fired at was
not with Nelson at the inn, but had
entered the place alone a few mo-
ments before the shooting took place.
Admitted Part in Robbery.
Last December, Nelson, who resides
in Washington, but formerly lived on
the Marlboro pike, signed confession
for Washington police in which he ad-
mitted being the finger man" in a
sl2,500 robbery at the home of his
own brother, Charles Nelson, in Ar
lington, Va.
He admitted later he was the finger
man" again in another robbery which
the Williams gang planned at another
home of Nelson's brother in the 1900
block of Suitland road Sc, where it
was planned to steal $4,000 from a
safe. He was released by police.
The Suitland road robbery miscar-
ried and the gangsters walked into
police trap, Williams being slain by
officers machine-gun fire.
