HyatsviIIe Court Session
Set Aside for Juveniles

In response to a public demand for
the separation of juvenile cases
from other police cases in Prince
Georges County Police Court, Trial
Magistrate Walter L. Green today
set aside the third Saturday of each
month for the hearing of juvenile
cases in the Hyattsville Police Court
The move follows the appearance
about a month ago of a group of
Hyattsville church men before the
Board of County Commissioners
urging such a separate juvenile
court. Judge Green said today,
however. that the commissioners
had nothing to do with the innova-
ton in his court.
He added that Trial Magistrate
Alan Bowie probably will set up a
similar procedure in his court at
Upper Marlboro. Judge Green said
he did not feel that the present
number of juvenile cases, about two
or three month, was sufficient to
establish a separate juvenile court.
Saturday was selected for hearing
children's cases because those
brought to court will not have to be
absent from school.

Capt. Lutz Builds Hord-Hitting
Auxiliary Force of Policemen
Volunteer Candidates of No. 10 Must Take
Stiff Course and Pass Examination

from willing. volunteers or that he
is carpingly critical. But he's re-
sponsible for the precinct and his
avowed aim is to have no one, regu-
lar or auxiliary, who is not on the
job. Thus the No. 10 auxiliary force,
which will exceed $50 when those in
training complete their course, is
no haphazard collection of we'll
meaning helpers. but carefully
selected group, integrated into the
regular crew and supplementing the
precincts protective services.
Trained primarily for air raids.
the auxiliaries, meanwhile, are
doing effective work on the streets
as they gain practical knowledge OF
the avocation they have chosen.
For instance, Auxiliary Patrolman
A. j. Dawson noticed youth carry
Ing telescope. The parcel was
unusual and so the volunteer took
careful note of the boy When he
went back to the station, Mr.
Dawson, in looking over the day IS
reports, read of three housebreak-
ings in which the method had been
the same-entrance by breaking into
Easements. The loot included a
telescope. The auxiliary gave the
precinct detectives a description oi
the youth and in few hours he
was in custody. together with the
telescope and pistol which had
belonged in one Of the robbed homes
Purse Snatchings Ended.
There is Auxiliary w. B. Cameron,
who drives a cab. Mr.. Cameron has
made it a point to jot down the
numbers of all stolen cars. Cruising
about, he has recovered several.
The captain of No. 10 auxiliaries
is Joseph Arthur Cromwell, an in
vestigator for the Internal Revenue
Bureau. c. F. Bernard is the regu-
lar policeman who helps Capt. Lutz
to keep abreast of auxiliary &C
tivities.
Citizens organizations have COM
mended the auxiliaries for their
effectiveness in taking over traffic
posts on Fourteenth street and at
school crossings.
There was, too, the matter of
purse snatchings around Eighteenth
street and Columbia road NV. Sew
eral auxiliaries investigated. Three
arrests were made No such rob-
berries have been reported in that
area since. 1t looked like an Or
ganized gang of young rufians, but.
If so, it's disorgapized now.
No. 10 auxiliaries have made ap-
proXimately so arrests, which have
served to improve the peace and
dignity of the precinct.

AAA Joins Opposition
To B. & 0. Relocation
In HyattsviNe
Serious Traffic Hazard
Would Be Created,
Advisory Council Says

The District of Columbia Advisory
Board of the American Automobile
Association has joined opponents OF
| the plan to relocate the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad freight spur cross
/ ing the Baltimore boulevard in
Hyattsville. it was learned today.
The Advisory Board and other op-
/ 'ponents have requested the State
Roads Commission to fight the re-
location. The Advisory Board took
the position that the change would
create "a serious traffic hazard"
The Mayor and Town Council OF
Hyattsville recently approved the
railroads application to move the
line approximately IS feet south in
order to straighten- it and facilitate
the moving of tfaf11c across the
boulevard.
Assured Of Hearing.
c. D. Anderson, former council
man and secretary of the Prince
Georges Chamber of Commerce
said the State Commission had
assured him it would not ap-
prove the project until after a pub
lie hearing, date for which has not
been set.
Mr.. Anderson, who said the Cham
Der Of Commerce is still op-
posed to the move, as it was
when the proposal was first made
in 1929 and turned down. and Coun-
Gilman Howard A. Harrison, only
member of the council to oppose the
railroads application. said the rail-
road would have to obtain the COM
missions approval before relocating
the line.
Relocation of the spur, together
with the erection of automatic safe
ty gates. within less than 100 yards
Of the present overhead grade cross
ing would set up death trap for
traffc on the boulevard" Mr.. Ander-
son declared.
He added that the idea of estab-
fishing such a crossing so close to
the present one is absurd" in view
Of the fact that more than $500 900
was spent to eliminate a crossing
In 1928.
No Train Increase Seen.
The gates, he said, could not be
seen by persons driving south on
the overhead until they came within
100 yards of the spur. Heavy trucks
going down the overhead crossing.
which descends on 5 per cent
grade, would be unable to stop in
time. especially in rainy or icy
weather, he contended
Mayor E. Murray Cover of Hy-
attsville insisted, however, that in
his opinion the railroad did not
have to obtain the commission S
approval.
He claimed that the proposed
spur would be far enough down the
road to enable motorists to see the
gates in time to stop.
THE number of trains using the
present line would not be increased"
he said. The only difference would
be that the railroad would hitch
more freight cars on their locomo-
tives because of the Strengthening
of the line"
At present approximately seven
trains pass over the. line daily. A
flagman is used to stop traffic.

New w'Vacation'
For Tdxis Seen
As Possibility
Union Head Charges
Latest PUG Order
Violates Truce

Edwin A. Glenn, president of the
United Taxicab Drivers Association,
asserted today that the question Of
whether taxis will come of the
streets in another vacation strike"
is 80 serious I wouldn't guarantee
you anything from one-half hour to
the next"
A new impasse in the controversy
Of new rate regulations ordered by
the Public Utilities Commission fol-
lowed a series Of moves yesterday
which Mr.. Glenn termed viola
ton" of the truce which halted the
taxi strike last Wednesday.
The House District Committee, in
executive session, tossed the rate
questions back to the PUG for fur
ther study. The House committee
had brought about the truce which
permitted drivers to charge either
the new or old rate scale.
In addition, PUG Chairman Greg
ory Hankin announced that the
city's 5000 taxicab drivers would be
asked to inform the commission
which scale Of rates they preferred
to use. Those not filing such q
statement by noon tomorrow, Mr..
Hankin said, would be considered
as voting for the new rate schedule.
Method Called Cheap"
Terming this move cheap
method" Of getting a referendum
on the rate issue in a manner which
classes non-voters as favorable to
the commissions new rate plans,
Mr.. Glenn said he is advising all
drivers who inquire not to register
their opinions.
If the PUG does one thing to
violate the agreement, If they call
taxi drivers one name, If they re-
woke one license. the taxis will come
off the street." Mr.. Glenn said.
The order was issued by the COM
mission yesterday to make OF clear
that the commission did not want
the drivers to charge either the old
or the new rates. depending on
which was more profitable for the
particular trip.
Drivers wishing to use the old
rates must file with the commission
in writing their intent to do so. A
special form has been prepared for
this purpose.
Supporters Not to Vote.
Failure to file such notice with
the commission will mean that the
taxicab is being operated under the
new zones and rates
Any other rates charged between
tomorrow and such time as a subse-
quent order is issued on the matter
will constitute a violation of yes
terday's order, the commission said.
The order permits any driver filing
for the old rates to revoke it in
writing at any time, but no pro-
vision is made for return to the old
after trial Of the new after tomor-
row.
Issuance of the order had been
planned by the commission last
Friday after Chairman Hankin
said reports were received that
some drivers. were charging &C
cording to the schedule most profit
able for each trip. 1t was held
over. however, pending yesterdays
hearing at the Capitol. at which a
review of the cab rates by the PUG
was agreed to.

mo. 10 OF a SerieS.)
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Police Capt Clarence H. Lutz, who
presides at No. 10 station house, on
Park road near Georgia avenue NV.
has been through the mill and could
tell you, if he chose, all about the
lot of a policeman, which. according
to the late w. S. Gilbert, is not a
happy one.
The captain was patrolman
and sergeant on the Streets-not
the most quiet, most law-abiding
thoroughfares-for a good many
years, and scars are his mementos
of encounters. You might guess that
he wouldn't be the easiest man to
take on if you felt pugnacious. You
might also sense that he wouldn't t
be an easy cop" to fool. He has
come up the hard way, and his men
call him one of the fairest officers
in the department, but one you
had better not try to slip anything
over on.
When he says the approximately
230 auxiliary policemen in his
precinct are doing a good job-and
he does. emphatically-it means
something.
Many Volunteers Rejected.
Observers who say, oh. anybody
can be one Of those auxiliary coppers
Just 90 and get a badge" might also
talk to Capt. Lutz. He has bulging
file of those who offered their serv-
ices and were rejected with regret
and thanks. They didn't make the
grade, for various reasons, physically
or otherwise. Some of their finger
prints didn't check so we'll with the
FBI. Others didn't stand up under
the routine investigation which is
made of all applicants for the
auxiliary force.
Moreover. Capt. Lutz puts the &C
cepted candidates through a pretty
stiff course of instruction. culminat-
ing in written examination. The
test is half on police regulations, half
on theoretical situations, the what
would you do If such or such hap
pened type of questions.
The candidates don't necessarily
have to obtain certain mark to be
qualified. Capt. Lutz explained.
Its more what grasp of the work
they display in answering the ques-
tions,' he said. Some men who
have excellent qualifications don't
do so we'll in a written examination.
We size them up in general and if
we feel they'll make good officers
they 60 on the streets"
All Must Be on Job.
It's not that Capt. Lutz does not
appreciate the offers he has had
