Will Test Speed Law a Question of Jurisdiction
In Baltimore, Mahlon Winter of Washington and A D Heyworth of Indiana filed a suit in the U S Circuit Court to test Glen Echo Maryland's authority to regulate speed on Conduit Road built by the U S government from Great Falls to Washington. The suit alleges the town marshal uses threats and may carry a pistol, and argues the Conduit Road area is a U S reserve beyond Glen Echo's reach. Maryland law grants state and town authority elsewhere. The town ordinance caps speeds at six miles through the town and twelve miles elsewhere on the road. officials named include Mayor John A Garrett and James Gott. Deputy District Attorney Morris A Soper leads the defense with Leckie Fulton & Con and Duvall of Washington D C assisting. A hearing on a preliminary injunction was set.
