BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Au- gust 14.—Radical changes in the ma- chinery of justice were proposed as the proper approach to the crime prob- lem by Prof. Raymond Moley of Co- lumbia University, before the Institute of Public Affairs here tonight. Prof. Moley urged that powers of judging guilt be taken from juries and public prosecutors and placed in the hands of judges, and ‘that sentences be indeterminate, with the criminal intrusted to parole boards. Much of the present difficulties are due to the antiquated system of justice, IEASTERN STATES SWEPT BY STORM Pennsylvania, New York and iVermont Suffer Crop Losses and Other Damage. | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. August 14.—Wind, rain, hail and lightning, sweeping through three Eastern States, left a trail of de- struction, marked today by damaged | bulldings, blocked highways and ruined crops. Regions in Pennsylvania, New York State and Vermont were visited by a series of storms yesterday in which damage by fire and flood was added to ! the havoc wrought by wind and hail. A wind of hurricane force ecut a | swath 25 miles wide through Vermont from Lake Bomoseen to Middlebury, uses mostly one-man cars: City, where one-man cars are largely he suid.

Angeles and Cincinnati. - He said all of these lines, except that in Indianapolis, are considerably larger than the Capital Traction Co.’s system, | and consequently have less overhead | expense per car mile. Mr Hanna then entered into a de- tailed explanation of the conduit, or underground electrie railway, system, as compared with the overhead trolley system which is in operation largely in | other cities, calling attention to the l fact that the Capital Traction Co. is al- most exclusively an underground, or condult, system. i ““The conduit system costs three times as much as the trolley system.” declared | Mr. Hanna, “and the depreciation Is | much greater.” Conduit System Expensive. In operating expenses, Mr Hanna | said, there are many elements in the | nnderground system that are not found | in the overhead trolley svstems. He sald the maintenance of the steel bars underground, which take the place of trolley wires, is much higher. He called attention the necessity of cleaning the conduits at least once a year and of the additional delays caused by the difficulties in operating under the con- duit system. “1 estimate that 50 per cent or 75| per cent of the delays in street car: operation in Washington. outside of | traffic delays, are due to trouble with | the plows on the cars, which are a nec- | essary part of the conduit system,” sald Mr. Hanna.

This has resulted in a general dis-| trust which has thrown much of the work of juries into the hands of the public prosecutor, often an elected of- ficlal, through the two devices of nol prossing and accepting pleas of guilty to crimes less than those charged. The judge, he pointed out, has little to say about it. his case is weak he assumes’the au- thority of releasing the defendant— practically acquitting him—through a If a fight is likely he will accept a lesser plea to save time and money and to augment his record of convictions. . This last, Prof. Moley sald, 1s illogical, because it results in creating & crime which never existed. It a_man steals $500, that is what he chould_be tried for—not for stealing $50. Out of 13.000 persons arrested In | Chicago in 1926, he pointed out, there were only 450-jury trials. The judge would merely pass on the deféndant’s guilt. He would have noth- ing to say about the sentence which would be entirely in the hands of a board of experts such as that proposed last year by ex-Gov. Smith of New York, which Prof. Moley called “one of the most enlightening proj ls ever made by a public official.” All sentences would bé: indeterminate, based on the board's study of the needs of the in- dividual case. “Nobody knows, how Jong & man If the district attorney thinks | | aboard the Zeppelin, Capt.

Merger Move Is Sudden. The injection of merger discussion into the car fare case came with dra- matic suddenness at the end of the provisions that out of these reserves the new company shall set up reserves to take care of claims for injuries and damages, depreciation, and so forth, at least equal to the reserves of the merg- ing companies. This provision is not in the Wilson plan and its omission called for considerable criticism. ‘The Potomac Electric Power Co. is left out of the merger, as under the Wilson plan.
