2 » AUTO CASES CAUSE JUSTICES" DISPUTE \Virginia Court Officials Dis- agree on Verdicts Against D. C. Defendants. i The “warfare” which certain of Fairfax County’s justices of the peace had indicated they would direct to- morrow on District of Columbia truck owners and others has resulted in a series of premature explosions in #he camp of the justices themselves, developed last night. As a result of the “backfire” two B¢ the justices, H. Carlin Cockrell of enmore, Va. and Clifton Laughlin f McLean, have withdrawn as asso- ‘tiates of Judge James Allen of Vienna An the trial of several preliminary gases and Judge Cockrell, sitting "alone, has retried two of the cases 4nd remitted fines Imposed by ths Vienna magistrate. At the same time Judge Cockrell, (Who was referred to by Judge Allen | ;as having possibly learned his law !from the Hagerstown Almanac <t imight severely criticized Judge Allen’s activities. Cases Reopened. The cases in which Judge Cockrell, jwithout consuiting Judge Allen, who !presided in the trials, granted a re- lopening and new trial were those of JThomas T. Taylor of T. T. Taylor & {Co., local contractors, and H. D. Davidson, who were fined $5 and lcosts for operating automobiles in {Virginia with District of Columbia itags. The fine in Taylor's case was jremitted to him last night at the jmew trial in Judge Cockrell's home ‘when the judge found him not guilty, and that of Davidson was withdrawn ‘the night hefore. Judge Cockrell granted Tavlor a mew trial in response to his plea that the warrant issued against him was *in error and should have been issued against the T. T. Taylor Co., nc., of Washington, D. C., which corporation is now and always has jbeen the owner and operator of the mforesaid car and truck.” ! The judge's decision, rendered in his home near the Leesburg Pike, states: “Justice Cockrell gave full con- sideration to the motion and the case s now up in de novo. The court hav- ling full knowledge of the defendant’s intentions renders the following de- \eision: Thomas T. Taylor is not guilty a8 charged, and the case is now dis- missed without cost of the present jaction, although the law says the ‘Justice shall have the sum of $3. “This action is based upon the fact ghat he paid costs in his former trial, in which justice miscarried.” As for the criticism that had been fleveled at him, the justice last night {dssued a signed statement. “I believe it has been stated,” he THE_SUNDAY STAR.

In this game, as in the three pre- cading it, the Yankees outplayed their foes, and the scries left no doubt that the eagle of victory had perched upon the banner of the bet- ter troupe. Whether the Pirates suf- ferred from the effects of the grueling fight they had to. win during the regular campaign or were the victims of stage fright, or both, is debatable, but they played far below their best form throughout the series. In the four games they were out- scored by 23 runs to 10, outbatted 37 to 26 in the matter of hits, as well as by a wide marzin in the total of bases obtained by them, and committed fire errors as against but three for their opponents. S Earl Smith gave w: runner in the productiv nine, leaped desperatel to interecpt merely i id, “that I received my legal train- ing from the Hagerstown almanac. ‘I want to say that the action which [rought forth that criticism was based n the fact that I would not permit efendants in my court to be taxed or continuances they never asked for; or would I permit defendants charged th exactly similar offenses to be as- ed different fines.” Judge Cockrell’s statement recounted e events leading up to what has been Fairfax County’s tag war inst the District and indicated it Judge Allen, 83-year-old patriarch the bench, had been allowed to pre- le in the preliminary cases merely “a cdurtesy.” 3 Text of Statement. | The statement follows: } “On or about September 15 State icer Edward J. McDermott asked e for warrants against Dr. Edward Jones and Dr. Louise Taylor Jones, is wife; H. C. Ayers, Thomas T. ylor, Milton Walters, C. G. Grimes the Fred Drew: Co., and H. D. vidson,* all residents of Fairfax ‘ounty, - ¢ “The warrants were sworn to be- me. When the above defendants swered the summons before my urt, not one of them asked for any ther justices to sit with me, but, lizing there were a number of tech- 1 questions involved, 1 stated to all fendants that it was only fair to the mmonwealth and its citizens to call two associates. I adjourned the S to the office of Judge Clifton E:ghun. as an accommodation to the fendants, as it was more convenient or them to go there. I then invited 'udge Laughlin and Judge Allen to plete the court. i “When court met, although I was e principal justice in the cases, I anded the warrants to Judge Allen, ue to the fact he was a man 83 years f age, and thereby made him the ‘chief justice, % “At the trial on September 10, and gfter all evidence was in, Judge kzughlm suggested that he’ preferred 2ture thought before passing on the cases, and at his suggestion the court Voted to continue the cases until Se>- tember 20, and directed me to give a detailed report of each case to Motor [Vehicle Commissioner Hayes for a ruling by Attorney General Saunders. Death Causes Delay. . “Much delay was caused by the @eath of Assistant Attorney General Nachen, and on the 20th the cases ‘were continued to the 24th, and then 10 an even later date, awaiting the ¢ - cision of the attorney general, thereby mecesritating numerous continua ;ot asked for by the defendants, but for the benefit of the court and to aid them to intelligently render their de- «cision, “During this interval Judge Laugh- lin had not been favorable to a con- ivictioa, but immediately on receipt of the altorney general's ruling, which I Tc.eived by special messenger, Mr. Laughlin, with his usual free and open mind, was convinced and voted for conviction. ““The case of Dr. Jones and his wife ‘was the first tried. In this case Judge Allen pronounced guilt and assessed ia fine of $5 and costs, which were con- curred in by the associate justices in view of the attorney general’s ruling. [At this point Judge Allen called Dr. JE. B. Jones to the bar and pronounced {sentence. I said: ‘Judge Allen, hold up & minute, Dr. E. B. Jones is not on ‘trial. The evidence has shown the two machines in queston are the property (of Dr. Louise Jones. Judge Alien then reversed his decision and passed sen- {ence on the wife, without joining the usband in the sentence, Whereas, ac- reording to Virginia law, when the wife is fined and the fine goes to the com- {monwealth the husband must be joined 1in the sentence, because he will have to pay the fine. “In the case of H. C. Ayers, Judge ‘Allen, after hearing the evidence, the rcharge and the defense being identical to those of Dr. Louise Jones, assessed 'the costs and no fine. At a later date Thomas T. Taylor's case was called, jwith Judge Laughlin absent, due to ickness. “Having elected to make Judge jAllen the chief justice, I was then {in the dilemma of having to con- lcede Judge Allen’s rule. e first anted to impose a fine of $50 for an offense similar to the one for 'which he had fined Dr. Jones $5 ‘and Mr. Ayers nothing. I objected on grounds of jmpartiality and in- 'justice, Judge Allen finally agreeing 1 a §5 fine and $10 costs. These costs included asscssments for the continuances and I held that thi not right, because the contin had been for the benefit of the court ,and had not been asked for by the is point, to stop any argument, :.t itr:l :hs presence of all assembled, stated to Judge Allen that 1 would not consent to imposing this cost, but instead would take the lawful costs to which I was entitled and pay them to Judge Allen for the costs he wanted. Allen accepted the propo- siion in open court.” Took Judge to Court. «On five nights I ran my automobile eigl?tnmfles to carry Judge Allen to and from court, without charging him a cent and then I gave him ail my sts. co"l then stated to Mr. Taylor that it was my duty to tell him his rights, and I asked if he wished to note an appeal, but he said: ‘No, sir, I'm sick of it and would rather pay it.' How- ever, wise men change their minds, and Mr. Taylor later, in a telephone communication with me, asked for a reopening and a new trial on the grounds that Judge Allen had imposed a fine against him for an offense which Mr. Ayers had to pay nothing for. “I thus took Taylor’s case into my court again, in de novo, as though it had never been tried. “Mr. Davidson was summoned to appear in Allen’s court. I had issued the warrant, but I am not infallible, and 1 was shown by Mr. Davidson that he was not the owner of the ma- chines, but his mother was. Notwith- standing this, Judge Allen insisted, contrary to law, on trying Mr. David- son. Later, out of court, Mrs. David- son arranged with me to permit her son to act for her at the trial. There- fore, Judge Allen fined him $5 and costs. “Mr. Davidson likewise asked that he be granted a new trial, which was done:. The case was disposed of in my court last night when I extended to him the same courtesy and justice that Judge Allen gave to Mr. Ayers. “I have no desire to have my mentality measured by the bublic, and I have endeavored in every way to keep my name and this controversy out of the papers. As an humble and insignificant ‘J. P.’ of Fairfax County, I have simply tried to do my duty as I saw it, and my decisions in the matter have been fully sus- tained by Attorney General Saunders. Refers to Interviews, “In the beginning of these cases, without any solicitation and without my knowledge, attorneys for the American Automobile AssociatMn l-came_to my office for an interview, and I told them if they were after notoriety and publici I would tell them nothing, but if y wanted en- lightment about the law, they were entitied to it. I permitied them to make a copy of the whole matter, with their promise to keep my name out of it, and they kept their word. “I also had an interview with the traffic officials in Washington in which T was treated with every cour- tesy. 1 made the same request of them, and I stated that the purpose of my visit was to correct erroneous newspaper statements that three Fair- fax County justices were waging a war on the District of Columbia. I issued such warrants as I was asked to, I sought the light from the at- torney general, I decided them accord- ing to his ruling, and I have no apologies to make to any one. “The public’'s attention should be called to the fact that the warrants were not issued against residents of the District, except in the sense of their dual residence. Half of the de- fendants were voters in Virginia. The newspapers state that the attorney general and Mr. Hayes are going to do certain things. That is none of my business, Commends Laughlin. “I want to state that inasmuch as my action in endeavoring to give the defendants a fair trial by three jus- tices has involved Judge Laughlin in the matter, and resulted in rank crit- icisms of him by a ‘member of the court who was a guest of Mr. Laugh- lin in his office, I feel it my duty to say that during the past 11 years Laughlin and I have decided ny controversies and have never failed to agree in a case. At first we were not in accord in the present cases, but on receipt of the attorney general's ruling Mr. Laughlin, without com- ment or criticism, showed his sense of fairness by coming round to my opinion, Flyer Killed in Spin.

RIVERA SAYS SPAIN MAY QUIT AFRICA WITH BRITAIN AS ARBITER Recent Talk With Cl.lamberlain Was First of Series, Premier Says—Sees Settle~ ment of Tangier Problem. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 9.—The Sunday Times prints an interview which its correspondent at Madrid had with Premier Primo de Rivera. The premier indicated that Spain might ‘withdraw from North Africa and, with Great Britain acting as mediator, he added, “some very satisfactory 'ar- rangement” may become possible ‘be- tween Spain and France on the Tangier question. His recent conference with Sir Aus- ten Chambe! British foreign sec- retary, was an “arranged conference,” the premier said, and had an impor- tant bearing on the relations of Spain with other countries, but the discus- sions must necessarily remain secret. Declaring that Sir Austen, as a dis- interested party, came to see him in behalf of the British government, for the purpose of solving, it possible, the international difficulties between Spain and her near neighbors, Primo de Rivera continued: “I have not yet either refused or decided to accept Sir Austen berlain’s proposal, for his p will need time to consider. Britain has- little or -no interest in North Africa, and I am fast becoming of the opinion that Spain will be bet- ter without her interests there, which are a source of continual trouble and expense to Spain. But it i dangerous to relinquish po another power; unless a compromise can be arranged. Austen may be able to do thi says that with Spain’s permission he can show a way out of the difficulties, and that with the British government acting as mediator some satisfactory arrangement may become possible.” Primo de Rivera concluded with the statement that this was the first of many talks he would have with Sir Austen, as Spain's relations with Great Britain were becoming much Sir closer.

RUSSELL SCO?T HANGS SELF IN CELL AWAITING NEW TRIAL IN SLAYING (Continued _from Fivst Page) but said they had heard no commotion'| there. Won Fight in Death. By his suicide, Scott finally won his sensational fight to defeat the ourts of Illinois, which time and zain turned down his pleas of not guilty and decreed that he must die on the gallows. Seven times was Scott in the shadow of the gallows in the four ears since he is alleged to have slain Maurer, Scott’s conviction followed closely plea of guilty to the murder charg A judge dragged from his bed one night granted him a stay of execution a few moments before he was to have been hanged. All legal meneuvers possible under Illinois law were used to keep him from paying the penalty, Large defense funds were raised by general contributions, and Scott's wife herself worked tire- lessly in his behalf. Awaziting New Trial. A battery of wyers and high- priced alieniets were enlisted in the fight to keep Scott from the gaNows. He finally was declared insane and sent to an asylum at Chester, Il It was not long before officials at the institution concluded Scott was in full possession of his faculties and should be returned to jail. After he had been placed again under the juris- diction of Cook County and a jury had found him sane, a date was set for his execution. Fate intervened again, however, and the Supreme Court remanded the case for a new trial. It was while in the jail waiting the new trial that he ended his life. Wife Aided Fight. Mrs. Scott had caled on Warden Fogarty in the afternoon to inquire about a $25 money order sent Russell by his father, Thomas Scott of De- troit. It was"the largest sum the father had ever sent the son, jail offi- clals said. The warden assured Mrs. Scott the money order had been credit- ed to Russell. “‘Scott did what the law ought to have done a long time ago. That is remarked State's Crowe, when in- formed of the suicide. Mrs. Scott had heen an indefatigable worker to gain her fiusband’s freedom, even going on a hunger strike in De- troit to enlist sympathy and obtain more money for his defense. Scott's early career was promising and full of variety. An actor at 20, he headed a Canadian firm 10 years later and was regarded as a million- aire. The firm had been organized to construct a $30,000.000 bridge over the Detroit River. His personal for- tune vanished when he was forced out of the organization. Brother Also Arrested. He was arrested April 2, 1924, for the slaying of Maurer, and his brother was taken into custody many months later for the same charge. The lat- ter is now serving a sentence in the State penitentiary on his plea of guilty to participation in the murder. Robert denied he fired the fatal shot. Robert, just before entering the pen. itentiary, changed his testimony and accepted responsibility for Maurer's death, but officlals refused to credit the confession. He figured indirectly in one of the reprieves granted Russell, just a few hours before Russell was to have been hanged July 17, 1926. Gov. Len Small granted a week’s reprieve after receiving a telegram in which Robert purported to accept responsibility for the slaying. The telegram was found to have been sent by a Detroit tele- graph _operator. Again the noose was prepared, but four hours before Scott was to have been hanged, his attorney won his plea for a sanity hearing. Business men and the mayor of Windsor, Ontario, interceded in Rus- sell’s_behalf with President Coolidge, and Detroit clubwomen raised a huge defense fund. Scott wrote almost a dozen books during the time he was in prison and jail. LOUISVILLE é 0. P. HEAD DENIES ASKING U. S.

CUYLER SAYS HE MADE MISTAKE IN PROTESTING ABOUT “YENS" Tried to Do All He Could for Team, He Declares, but Was Played Wrong. Refused to Slide Into Second to Prevent Double Play, He Insists. : By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 8.—The man who should know most about the, “Cuyler case,” discussion of which weighted all conversation and writing on the world series, knows less about it than any one else, he thinks. The man is Hazen 8. Cuyler, star outfielder of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who warmed the bench during much of the season and the whole of the world series, despite the strident yells of Pittsburgh and New York specta- tors, demanding that the man who won two of the 1925 world series games be given a chance to show his stuff. Tonight Cuyler, for the first time, zave his version of the case, and ex- pressed belief that he had played his last game as a Pirate. “Whole Thing a Mystery.” “To tell the downright and whole truth, Cuyler told the Associated Press, “the whole thing is a mystery to me. There are some things to be told, without doubt, but it is not I who can tell them. In my own heart I have felt some things, or may not be true, b might be called the f.cts of the case, n]my will have to come from my em- ployers. Towever, T have decided to tel! what I know and some of what I feel, and I do it solely because Bar- ne- Dreyfuss, the owner of the Pirates; his son, Sam Dreyfuss, and Donie Bush, minager of the team, have each and often told their sides of the case. As long as the Pirates were after the National League pennant and while they were in the world series, I kept still. I have been r.- ported as saying this and that. I said nothing. Now that is all over. Fur- thermore, I think I have plaved for the last time in a Pirate uniform. Not because I don’t want to play in that uniform, but because my employers, I have heard, have other plans. “First of all, it should be said that I uave no ill feeling for Donie Bush. I am sure that whatever he did, even where he did things that didn’t make me feel any too good, he did for the best; did them because he was con- vinced that he would help the team. For my part, I was as strong for the team as Bush or Dreyfuss, but per- haps we did not agree on the best way to help the team. Fined for Not ling. “It has been stated often that the Cuyier case began with my being fined for not sliding into second base. It may have begun there, but I think it began a long time before that. I was flned $50 for not sliding into sec- ond base during a game with the Giants. I did go into the base stand- ing up, and that, in my judgment, was the proper thing to do, for there was an opportunity for a double play at first and second, and by standing up I could interfere with the throw to firest and save one out. “However, Travis Jackson dropped the ball. T overran second and was out. Still, there was no double play. Then I was fined. The newspapers got hold of the story of my being fined. Bush said I gave out tie story. I had no reason to give it out, and I didn’t. Still I saw no reason why it shouldn’t have been given out as was the casé with other fines. This led to the belief that I was balking, but it was based on the false idea that T had given out the story. “Shortly afterward, Buch coached me far off third in a_game. I pro- tested that it was dangerous, but obeyed. The ball was snapped to third and I was caught. Then Bush berated me for being caught. I said I was willing to take blame for my own lapses, which every player has, but not those of others. Had to Bat Second. “After the fine was imposed, I went to Bush and asked him if I had done anything wrong to let me know, that I was trying to give the best® had and wanted to be told of my wrong plays. He dismissed me with the statement that the whole thing was settled and done. “I had paid for my mistake, whether I thought it right or not, and felt that I should be permitted to start with a VIENNA 15 SHAKEN BY EARTH TREMORS Theater Audiences Panic- Stricken—Power Stations and Telegraph Crippled. By the Associated Press. VIENNA, Austria, October 8.—Se- vere earth shocks lasting 10 seconds shook Vienna at §:48 tonight. Telegraph, telephone and tramway services were paralyzed. The popula- tion was panic-stricken. The shocks were the worst that Austria has experienced in 50 years. Their greatest intensity was in Styria, lower Austria, about 110 miles south of "'Vienna. At Sankt-Poelten, 35 miles west of Vienna, 23 distinct shocks were felt, | sending factory chimneys crashing to the ground, crippling electric power stations and paralyzing communica- tions. Panic in Theaters. The earthshocks occurred when a]l‘ the Vienna theaters were crowded with the huge Saturday night audi- ences, The lights failed and the peo- ple fled in terror in the ensuing dark- ness, with some minor casualties. A touch of humor was added to the otherwise grim happenings when a Hungarian tenor named Pataky was making his debut at the opera house. He believed that the precipitate flight of the audience was due to disgust over his singing, and he retired ig- nominously behind the curtain, only to learn that the city had been visited | by an earthquake. The first shock was so wolent that it threw both the horizontal and ver- tical hands of the seismograph of the Vienna Central Meteorological Observ- atory out of the grooves, making it impossible !to determine even the ap- proximate peint of origin of the earth- quake. The director of the observa- tory believed that the epicenter of the quake was not far from Vienna. SHOCK FELT IN LOS ANGELES. L.0S ANGELES, October 8 (#).—An earthquake lasting about four seconds was felt here and at points 50 miles away at 11:15 a.m. today. The shock was felt only slightly here, but in the suburbs, in Pasadena and in Santa Anma, 30 miles south, it was described as sharp. Pomona and Riverside, 50 miles east of here in the orange beit, felt the tremor sharply. The only damage reported was at Glendale, where some plate glass store windows were broken, HAZEN CUYLER. clean slate. But things didn't seem to werk out that way. I was being played in left field and batting second. I had what ball players call a “yens” against batting in that position. And playing left field is about the worst thing I do. I told Bush about my 1s,” and he told me he needed me in that position. So I could do noth- ing but bat second. The proof of who was right can be seen in my record as a batter while in second position. And yet I triod as hard there as I ever tried in my li¥e. “I made the mistake, I see now, of speaking about these two things. I should have batted second and played left fleld without saying anything, but I wanted to help, and felt I could be of more help in center and batting in any other position than second. Other Players Dissatisfled. “No doubt I have been guilty of things that might be held against me, but I never loafed and I was always trying to do my best. I still think Bush a great fellow, and there is no extreme bitterness in my heart. I, quite naturally, feel that I should have been permitted to play, but who knows that I would have done as weil as the man who played my position? Clyde Barnhart played a good game. and he and I are not enemies in any way. SCHOOLBOY PATROL - READY FOR ACTION Organization of Protective System for Children to Start This Week. The schoolboy patrol, a volunteer student organization for the protec- tion of boys and girls from traffic dangers around school buildings, will be placed in the process of organi- zation for the second year this week by the District of Columbia Division of the American Automobile Associa- tion, it was announced last night, School authorities have indicated that they are particularly anxious to v-operate in the formation and func- tioning of this organization. They look upon the patrol as fulfilling a twofold purpose. First, it provides additional means of controlling the movements of very young children on the city streets, with the particular advantage of exercising this control in and around the schooi buildings where the chil- iren are present in the greatest num- bers. The second benefit conferred by the patrol is that it offers the children special training In the safety lessons which they are taught in school and at home. They are cautioned not to cross streets until traffic clears and this is just what the boy patrolmen insist upon when they stand at the curb and hold back their young charges until it is safe for them to go across. Superintendent Approves. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintend- ent of schools, has given the move- ment his approval also, because he believes it has pecullarly worth-while educational advantages. “The schoolboy patrol,” said Dr. Ballou yesterday, “is especially val- uable in that it gives the boys who take part in it an opportunity to as- sume responsibility, not only for them- selves, but for others as well. It be- comes necessary for them to show consideration for others, and this is something that is highly desirable in giving our boys a well rounded train- mg. “In serving on the patrol, they are assisting in the performance of a public duty. The boys in patrol work have heard that the whole mat- ter will be thrashed out soon, and I will be as happy as any one to find out what is the real trouble. No one feels the team'’s defeat any more than do. No one pulled harder for them to win.” Other players on the team expressed dissatisfaction with the benching of Cuyler, and some said they felt that it had done the team no good. They pointed to Cuyler's record, both as a are rendering a real public service and the activity is a fine example of actual participation in something worth while.” There is no intention whatsoever to organize the patrol as an auxiliary to police traffic regulation. The school- boy patrolmen will be impressed with the fact that they are not traffic po- policemen in any sense of the word. Theirs is a preventive function rather tkan having the purpose of snatching series and a season player. In the 1925 game his home run with Eddie Moore on base clinched the second game at 3 to 2. In the last game Pittsburgh got the championship on a double, on which he got all the way home, only to be sent back to second because of ground rules, with three on base in the last of the eighth inning. Gets Vawdeville Offer. They also pointed out that Cuyler's percentage of runs scored, figured against his times at bat for this sea- son, is much greater than that of Lloyd Waner, who was second in the league, with 133, one less than Rogers Hornsby, they cited. Cuyler’s throw- ing arm, his speed on the bases, the fact that he stole 20 of the 65 thefts credited to Pittsburgh this year, al- though he was played only in 85 games, and then asked why he should have been kept on the “wuod.” They sald that when the club owner's son announced that Cuyler was benched because Barnhart was playing better ball, and for no other reason, he still did not explain why they had sent to the minors to get Adam Camorosky to play in Barnhart's place when Barnhart was unable to play. From the general attitude of some of the players, after losing the final game today, it seemed as if they, as well as the fans, had been wanting Cuyler to be put into the series. Cuyler laughingly told of being of- fered an opportunity to go into vaude- ville for the next few weeks. “Accept 1!,"“2}hlriend lflddvlisod him. “What coul do on the stage?” Cuyler asked. - “Well,” one of the players said, “you can just go out there and take that old bench with you and sit on it with a gag in your mouth while they play the spotlight on you, just as you did in the world series.” Youth, Paroled, Arrested Again On Same Charge Justice Frederick L. Siddons wants to see Robert B. Moore, but the desire isn’t a bit mutual. Moore, who is only 19, and Bernard A. Glorious, 24, stood be- fore Justice Siddons in Criminal Division 2 Friday, and, bowing their heads in shame, confessed that they had been drinking when arrested for joyriding in a truck. Justice Siddons paroled them. “But,” said he, “if either one of you is caught drinking within the next four years you will be brought back and made to serve those four years in the pgnitentiary.” They left, Glorious to spend his four years in drought, Moore bent on another mission. Patrolman S. J. Walsh arrested him a few hours later and charged him with Jjoyriding on a motor cycle and be- ing drunk. He will see the justice tomorrow.
