RECKLESS DRIVING.


Major Sylvester, chief Of police, has IS
sued orders to the men Of the force to stop
the practice Of fast and reckless driving
through the streets. In order to impress
upon the minds of the officers the necessity
for looking after violations of this law, the
major as stated, has issued an order to
the several lieutenants. The officers are
also reminded that the law relating to the
speed of bicycles should also be enforced.
please give instructions to the members
of your commands to enforce the regula-
tons against fast and reckless driving,
especially at the street crossings and cor
ners." says the order. Not only do drivers
violate these regulations, but the riders of
bicycles are equally as careless at times.
You will direct your bicycle man to give
these matters special attention, with a view
of bringing some of the offenders before the
do their utmost to prevent such violations
OF the regulations.
Names and numbers should be taken
from vehicles when they can be procured
and the driver cannot be reached by the
1ootman, in order that employers may be
notified of the conduct of their drivers and
proper penalty imposed. Special policemen
at railroad crossings have been advised
from time to time concerning these mat
tiers, and If l observe that the regulations
are not enforced by them such dereliction
will result in their transfer, if not more
serious consequences
Major Sylvester believes that by the strict
enforcement of these laws the number of
accidents will be reduced. Accidents have
occurred during recent weeks in which
some of the victims were badly injured

finally in the sign language by Miss ANNA
Landstrom of California.
While nearly all those who partici-
pated in the exercises had been taught
to speak while at the college and
could have read their papers, it was feared
the strain would be too much so members
of the faculty repeated the contributions
orally. The members of the faculty thus
serving were Profs. Edward A. Fay. Samuel
Porter. John 3. Hotchkiss, Amos G. ORA

grees had been completed District Com
missioner John B. Wight, on behalf of the
board of directors of the institution, of
which he is member, made a brief ad-
dress and announced that the board had
conferred the degree of doctor of human
letters upon Rev. Thomas Gallaudet of

Diet.

Mr.. H. E. Thomas. a retired member of
the District fire department, recently asked
that his monthly pension be increased from
$50 to $50 In support of his request he
filed a statement from his family physician
in which the doctor stated that the pen
sioher Is wholly disabled, prevented from
engaging in work, and that he has a fam
lily dependent upon him. Commissioner
Wight, who has immediate supervision of
the fire department, after investigating the
condition of the pension fund, recommend
ed that Mr. Thomas be informed that the
Commissioners, in view of the condition of
the pension fund and the absolute necessity
OF retiring others. both In the police and
ilre departments, are unable at this time to
Increase his pension but that should the
fund warrant it in the future they would
be glad to give his request consideration
This recommendation has been approved
by Mr.. Wight's associates, and Mr.. Thomas
will be so informed.
