FEAR CONGESTION FROM JONES BILL Attorneys Say Law Would Clutter Up Already Crowd- ed Calendar. If the Jones dry law felony bill \)r-; comes law it will strip the Police Court| of jurisdiction to try any violaion of the Volstead act excepting possessior and will require grand jury action i each and every case, and will clutter | up the already crowded calendar of the | District Supreme Court, it is pointed | out by local lawyers, In fixing a pos- sible sentence of five years and a fine of $10,000 for some first offenders, the bill places a dry law violation in the category of “infamous” crimes, which, maccording to an opinion of the District Court of Appeals, may be tried only in the District Supreme Court. In Palmer vs. Lenowitz, decided May 26. 1910, the Court of Appeals said: ing indictments by a grand jury and the hardship imposed upon those await- ing trial are all matters which it must be assumed were considered by Con- During the past vear there were filed | in Police Court 2,123 cases of liquor law violations, and if each of these had tof be presented to the grand jury the members of that body would be called | on to work every day for several more hours than is now the custom through the jury service term of three months. This additional work, it is suggested, would make more difficult the securing of grand jurors, who now do not object to a three-month term because sessions are not held every day in the week. Bad Barley Brings Threats of Damage Suits From Europe By the Assoviated Press. A threat by European pur- chasers of American barley, espe- clally those in Germany, to bring damage suits against domestic sellers, on the ground that recent shipments were diseased, has prompted the Agriculture Depart- ment to ask Congress for an emergency appropriation. of $38.- 280 to carry on an investigation. Appearing before a House ap- propriations subcommittee, Dr. A. F. Woods, the department’s direc- tor of scientific work, said Ameri- can growers export 30,000,000 bushels of barley to Europe each year for feeding and brewing pur- s. Recent complaints, he tes- tified, were that hogs would not eat this season's No. 2 grade be- cause of a scab disease.

The work of the two criminal judges ‘would be greatly increased, when they are already overburdened with the usual felony cases of murder, robbery, larceny and the like. Trials would be difficult, and many such violators would go un- punished if they were able to give bail, as a comparison of the criminal dockets made only a few years ago disclosed that not more than one-fourth the | number of persons allowed liberty on| bail were ever called for trial. There are pending several thousand cases now on the criminal dockets, and yesterday the grand jury added 81 indictments to this docket. ‘The bill passed the Senate Tuesday and now is before the House.
