Judge Quinn Warns,
On Delaying Number,
Cases for Grand Jury

Judge Thomas D. Quinn declared
today he will not tolerate" action
by the United States attorneys Of
flee to delay numbers cases in Mu-
nicipal Court until a District court
jury can act on them.
Judge Quinn made the comment
on hearing complaint by Curtis P.
Mitchell, a lawyer who arrived in
court too late this morning to stop
a Government request of contin-
uance for his client.
Mr.. Mitcb'f charged the prose-
cution was trying to "circumvent"
the jurisdiction of the lower court
in order to make direct presenta-
tion OF the case to the grand Jury.
This has been the Governments
practice for some time, now. and It
Is a plain violation of q defendant s
right to a speedy arraignment," he
said. THE court should not serve
as party to it."
procedure Should Stop.
Mr.. Mitchell added that United
States Attorney George Morris Fay
and his Municipal Court chief as
sistant, Warren Wilson, had ad-
mitted to him that that was the
Office policy.
Judge Quinn then assured him
If the lawyers claim was correct
this is one judge who will not toler-
ate the practice"
THAT procedure should stop, and
we'll see about your particular case
next Friday" the judge added.
About an hour before Mr.. Mitchell
appeared, his client, James R.
Rives, 81. colored, 1900 block of T
street NV, was told to return at
10 am. Friday. He was charged
last Saturday with operating a lot
terry and possession of numbers slips
in a home in the 1900 block of South
Capitol street.
Fixed Policy Denied.
Prosecutor Wilson, who was not
in court at the time sof the judges
remarks. later denied that his Office
had outlined its numbers policy to
Mr.. Mitchell.
I'VE have no fixed policy" Mr..
Wilson said. He said the Federal
rules of criminal procedure state
that a defendant must be taken
before a judge without unneces-
sary delay"
But in a case where we need
time to investigate and prepare our
evidence, we are entitled to a post
ponement of court action as the

Judge Directs Verdict
For Psychiatrist in
Suit by Mrs. JiI|son

A Washington women today lost
a 100000 damage suit against a
psychiatrist she had charged sent
her to Gallinger Hospital for mental
observation against her will.
The directed verdict ordered by
Judge Matthew F. Mcclure in Dis
trict Court cleared Dr. Frank S.
Caprio. 1885 street NV, who was
being sued by Mrs. Kathryn Sim
claire Jillson, 81, of 1841 R street
NV.
Judge MCGUIRE ruled there was nc
evidence shown o: any negligence
on DR.. Caprio's part and noasupport
of Mrs. Jillson's contentious of collu-
sion between her husband. George j
Jillson, 80. and the psychiatrist.
Legal aspects of the Jillsons' mar
ital difficulties have been in Dis
trict Court several years, and
brought her custody of her two chill
dren last December.
Judge Sympathetic.
The Judge told the jury he has
the most profound sympathy" for
Mrs. Jillson, and said she may
be the victim of a clever and diabol-
ical scheme on the part of her hus-
band to impair her health.
But" he said, this defendant
had no part of any plan nor did
he go hand in glove with it"
Judge Mcclure said the doctor
made diagnosis of manic depres-
sive psychosis" on January Is, 1945,
on. the basis of what he was told
and observed at the Jillson home.
Advised that she had threatened
to kill herself, her husband and
baby, the doctor said he would not
be responsible for her and called
police, the judge recalled.
After being confined to Gallinger
Hospital for mental observation
Mrs. Jillson was later pronounced
of sound mind by the Commission
on Mental Health.
No Record of Mistake.
THE record fails to show the
doctor made any mistake nor car
any one be inferred from this rec.
ord,' the judge continued. There
is not even the slightest piece oil
evidence indicating anything in tht
nature of an agreement between
this defendant and the husband
The defendant neither knew ths
plaintiff or her husband, but was
called in by him."
Mrs. Jillson told the jury durine
presentation of her case that she
was pregnant when taken to the
hospital and that she kicked anc
fought AS two policemen took hel
downstairs, then to No. 3 precinc
station and finally to Gallingel
Hospital.
The judge told the jury that evi,
dence that Mrs. Jillson was mot
normal when Dr.. Caprio examined
her that night is "uncontradicted.
He added that any undue force USED
by police could not be charged te
the doctor, as they were mot his
agents.
DR.. Caprio was represented by

posed Montgomery County charte,
Those who tapor the plan claim
The proposed charter would bring
home rule" to the country with a
seven member council adopting ali
local legislation in the county seat
at Rockville. Under the present
system, local laws are enacted at
biennial sessions of the General AS
sembly in Annapolis, which Is COM
posed of delegations from every
county in the State.
A county manager trained in
municipal administration would be
appointed by the council to carry
out its decisions. leaving the latter
free to, concentrate on legislative
and policy matters.
Proposed legislation would be ad-
vertised by the council before ac-
tion Is taken and no bill would be
voted on for 10 days after its in
PRODUCTION except by consent of five
councilmen. This would give tax
payers time to study pending legis-
lation and would eliminate the pos
sibility of "sneaking through" laws
without the public being informed
A veto power is given the people
by referendum on any law or bond
issue, with minor exceptions, II g
petition signed by 10 per cent oi
the voters so requests. No bonds
for current expenses could be issued
to run for more than IL months and
all notes would have to be paid
when due.
At present, notes frequently are
refunded when due-that is, new
obligations are authorized to pay
off the old ones.
Finally, the present hodge -podge'
of county agencies would be re-
grouped under three departments
finance, public works and the
county attorneys Office. If State
legislation in future years should
give the people of the county con-
troll over such semi-autonomous
agencies as the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary and Park Commits
sions, the charter may be easily
amended to cover the changes.
The proposed charter. if approved
could be repealed under the same
procedure used in adopting 1t.

Blessed be the God and Father of OUT Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every Spir- itual blessing in the heavenly places IN Christ" tEphesian l:3
 Paul speaking of the privileges and blessings that Christians en- joy, stated that EVERY SPIRIT UAL BLESSING that can be be- slowed on man is IN Christ JeS- us. There are no spiritual bless ings out of Christi Paul. writing to Timothy said, Therefore I en- dure all things for the elects sake, that they also may obtain the SALVATION which is IN Christ Jesus with eternal glory. ' l2Tim. 2:l0l The salvation from past and future sins depends up- on whether one is in Christ Jes- us.
 The life which is eternal can only be obtained IN Christ the Son of God, John so states in 1 Jno. 5:I1. The witness is this, that God gave unto. US eternal I4lF. dllu l1l!S Illt iS l4' Ilio Aooli. The remission of our sins which is necessary to our becoming children of God, depends upon our being IN Christ. (Col. 1:l4; Eph. 1:O.

cry spiritual blessing is IN Christ.
 Since all blessings arc in Christ it is extremely important that we know how to get INTO Christ. Paul says, For as many of you as were baptized INTO Christ did put on Christ" tGal.3:27). A gain, "Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized INTO Christ Jesus were baptized ntio his death." (om. 6:3) No won der our Lord commissioned his postles to Co ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that be- lieveth and is baptized shall be SAVED; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. Mark 16: ,15-1G).
 Is it not natural then that we find one of his Apostles on the first PentecoSt after His AScen- sion into Heaven stating, Repent ye. and he baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto for) the remission of your Sins;' Acts 2:38) This same Apos- tie says, Wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism. Il Pet 3.2D.
 Despite the statements of our Lord and His inspired Apostles, false teachers are so bold to state that baptism does not save and that one may enjoy Salvation, E. ternal Life, and Forgiveness of sins. which are spiritual blessings without being baptized Remem- Der BAPTISM is the final step that puts you IN Christ where every spiritual blessing is.

in mind of story, true story,
 and a costly one. Some years ago, back in the Nebraska potato country certain railroad was i The tinhornS got together and i hauling the spudS for 87 cents.
 called in truck line and the
 truck line started hauling the | spuds for sixty cents. In a matter
 of two years the railroad aban-
 dOned the branch and thus gave 1 the truck line the deal. The fol i lowing season the truck line up
 ped their tariffs to 1.02 on the 1 Spuds. The farmers even tried to
 have the branch line rebuilt but
 with no success.

 ies the railroad. Suppose the steamships give up and run to
 some other part of the globe. ! What assurance do we have that the barge line will not add up ! their tariffs to more than the steamships are charging today or
 even more. Think it over good people.

 can haul their feed via barge so
 much cheaper, why is it they
 have upped the price of their
 milk 5 cents. The greatest trouble , is right in the laps of the mer-
 chants. I notice Westinghouse

 There, good people, is one of
 your troubles. That roaster under
 the fair trade act should retail l for not over forty dollars in Sew
 ard. Chances are he shipped it
 via barge and if so divide the 35
 cents by four and you have the
 freight on the roaster from Seat
 tie to Seward. The same princi-
 pal can be applied to practically
 everything sold in Alaska. The l good people that come up to de-
 velop Alaska are the suckers in
 the deal and it makes no differ

 never be passed on to the consum- l CT. You people who foot the bill better start some serious thinking | and start asking a few pertinent
 questions of your local merchants. If the steamship companies were furnished the cranes and heavy lift equipment free gratis, if the freight were dumped into
 their laps and if every thing else was given them free, they. too,
 could haul the freight to Alaska for B cents. A change of admin | istration, a few new faces on the scene, then watch the barge line l disappear into the mist along with few of the smart boys. P.S. Here's the rest of that Me- braska story. The railroad bought out the truck line.
