Police Court Records Reflect

Volume Of Coses in Traffic Division Shows
Decline Of 3,306 From Previous Yeur

ment for service within three days
after the application"
This practice makes 1t possible for
the officers to serve warrants
promptly, Mr.. Bramhall said.
In the courts financial division,
38,983 transactions were handled
and net receipts of $5O4,247.32 were
sent to the collector Of taxes. This
figure is the second largest amount
in history, exceeded only by the
1888 returns of $3.50, ,860.21.
Expenditures for 1899, including
salaries Of judges and employees,
contingent expenses, witness fees
and compensation Of jurors, totaled
$127,740, a net increase of $3.50
over the previous period. Mr.. Bram-
hall pointed out that most of this
increase was due to the addition Of
two probation officers and a stenog-
rapher.
In addition, eight new employees
were appointed to fill vacancies
caused by retirements and resigna-
tions and three were promoted to
other positions.
The report recommends to the
Board Of Judges in case Of a vacan-
cy in a post requiring a certain
amount of skill, such as q typist,
stenographer or cashier, that an
examination, or at least some re-
quirement as to experience. be met
by any applicant for the job. Such
is not now the case, it was indicated.
A review of the Jury branch shows
339 cases pending as of January
l, 1910, against 1872 pending the
previous year on that date. Jury
trials demanded during 1899 num-
bered 1,724, which, plus the 1872
cases pending. made a total of 1915.
! The court disposed Of 1,577 cases
during the l2-month period.
BY way Of explaining the increase
in the number of jury cases pend
ing. the report declared that while
this number is larger than at the
END OF the previous year, it is still
considerably below the number for
the beginning of 1888 and cannot
be considered as a higher number

pal Court was unable to assign q
relief Judge to the Police Court
during summer months, when one
Of the Police Court Judges was or
vacation for each Of the four months
and during that time trial Of Jury
cases fell behind. The congestion
OF the docket which followed made
it necessary for the court to operate
two jury branches from November

The District of Columbia and
United States branches combined to
try 174 separate cases last year, with
the major portion-13l cases-being
tried before the United States bench.
As usual, intoxication headed the
list with 15,061 offenders, an in
crease Of 1918 over 1888. Ranking
next in order were disorderly con-
duct, 3,018; assault, 1857; larceny,
1858; police regulations, $40: solicit
ing aims, 638; vagrancy, 408; false
pretenses, $50, and threats, 331. OF
those nine charges only four-intoxi-

Warnings against speeding motor

Warnings against speeding motor
lists by police, court officials, civic
organizations and newspapers in
the District in 1899 resulted in a
marked reduction in the number
of speed violations handled in the
traffic branch Of Police Court, 1t
is indicated in the courts annual
report, released today by Walter
F. Bramhall, chief clerk.
The summary, covering the CAL
endar year, shows a substantial
drop in first, second and third
offense speeding and appreciable
reductions in reckless driving, COL
liding cases and passing a street.
car. The comparison of 1899 fg-
ures with 1888 records shows that
f1rst-of1ense cases dropped from
10,537 to 8,249; second offense from
$50 to 469, and third offense from
Ga to 20. Fourth -offense speed
ing-rare cases-brought the only
increase, with two offenders brought
into court last year as against one
violation in 1888.
Evidence that Washington's mo-
toring public was safety conscious"
is reflected in the total of cases
brought before the Traf1ic Court
bench, largest of the four Police
Courts in volume of business. Total
cases handled, covering all traffic
violations last year, numbered IT,
800. a decrease of 1906 from 1898.
Other reductions In traffic offenses
saw reckless driving drop from
AL cases in 1888 to 300 last year:
colliding cases reaching court fell
from 361 to a new low of 1876. and
passing streetcar violations sink to
3 charges in 1899, as compared
to SO the previous period. Mis-
cellaneous offenses, largest listing
of both annual reports, also showed
slightly better record last year
1898 against 1888 in 1898.
Taking mass statistics, the total
number Of cases disposed Of BY the
four branches of the court numbered
57,385, broken down in this manner
Traffic, 1880; District of Columbia,
20,913; United States, zoos, and jury,

Forfeitures at various precinct
stations, including 70,713 traffic cases
and 10, 1893 District of Columbia cases
not reaching court, swelled the grand
total of the court year to 139, ,096
Money from forfeitures was turned
over to the finance division of the
clerks office. This grand total, the
report states, is an increase Of 4,481
cases over the same items for 1898
and reveals an increase Of 8,703 In
forfeitures at precincts.

definite statement as to the reason

report said, "it Is possible that this
