not occupy position of that kind for any
length of time, but said he could not tell
whether or not this would be a strain on
his eyes as well as his muscles.
Charles A. Neal, a patent solicitor who
has devoted much tiHe to bicycle inven-
TONS said he had BEEN hder for nearly
eighteen years. His experience was he
said, that he could better control a wheel
with an upturned bar than with a drop
bar. The latter sort he had used, he said,
only for about four months.
Cross-examined by Mr.. MackaI the wit
ness said he could not tell whether or not,
the other, he would have diked the lower
style of handles as well as those upturned.
DR.. W. w Allegef-eaid he was n men,
Der of the committee of the League of
American Wheelmen which had an inter-
view with the District Commissioners in
reference to the regulation in dispute. The
regulation was, he said, suggested ey Capt.
Black, the Engineer Commissioner, who
said he had TO objection to increasing the
limit of speed by bicyclists, provided they
would sit up straight, SO they could see
ahead of them. DR.. Alleger Identified let
ter which he had sent to Commissioner
Wight on the subject, and also stated that
in pursuance of instructions from the l.. A.
w. the committee had drafted the regula-
ton substantially as 1T stands.
Mr.. Mackall demanded that the minutes
of the meeting at which the committee was
authorized to take the action which they
did be produced. Mr.. Mackall claimed that
the League VI ALlSIfSdH "HeeliueH
not Endorsed the regulation. and DR.. Alleger
admitted on Characterization that he was
not present when resolution was passed
empow ering the committee to draft the
regulation, and that he got his information
that such actionsnad been taken from other
members
Mr. MackalI objected to all Of DR.. Allie
gers testimony and asked that it be strick-
en- out.
The objection was overruled by the court
and Mr.. Mackall noted an exception.
Prosecutor Reads a Letter.
Mr. Pugh then read letter from DR.. AL
leger to Commissioner Wight, in reply to
one from the Commissioner asking sugges-
tions as to the best means Of correcting the
evil practiced by some riders of occupying
a crouched position on the wheel.
Resuming his direct testimony, DR.. AL
leger said 1t was very difficult to control a
wheel when the handle bars were either too
high or TOO low that he had found that the
best results could be secured with a ma
chine whose handle bars are about two or
three inches below the center of the sad
die. When extremely low handles are used
he said, the field of vision Is limited to ten
or fifteen feet, and it was very hard to
avoid accidents The only place where ex-
tremely low drop bars are useful Is on the
to act quickly.
Pending the hearing of the testimony OF
DR.. Alleger, the court took a recess, and
upon reassembling the bicycle case was
temporarily set aside in order that another
matter might be taken up.
The hearing in the bicycle case had not
been disposed Of when this report closed.
