ion that il Peters was properly cared for
and would promise upon his release to
abandon all his former associates and bad
habits he would probably recover, but If
this course was not pursued he would
rapidly go to destruction. He said that he
did not believe that Peters condition was
the direct result of overindulgence in al

Mr.. John NJ. Riordan, a bookkeeper of
the National Capital Bank, testified that
Peters had drawn from his deposit there
over 81, 1000 during the month OF January.
The Rev. Thomas C.. Easton. pastor of
the Eastern Presbyterian Church, testi-
fed that he had been intimate with Peters
who came to him for spiritual advice IN
September last. He said he had observed
Peters actions and believed that he was
mentally unbalanced as the result of the
excessive use of drugs He related sew
eral incidents. among which was the oc-
sasion referred to by Major Walker ear
lier in the hearing. when Peters attacked
him with a sword. The minister said
that in the latter part Of January he went
to Peters house and found him in n
excited frame of mind. Peters demanded
that the Rev Easton perform the mar
riage ceremony between himself and Mrs
Peters despite the fact they had already
been united once. He said he believed
Peters should not be allowed to be at
large.
Fred Darlington, OF Wilmington, Del,
after being sworn, testified that he had
known Peters for thirty five years. and
that he received telegram on January
10, asking him to come to Washington TO
see Peters. and that when he arrived he
vas unable to locate Peters. He heard he
vac in Richmond, but did not find him
there, and did not see him at all until
after he was confined at the First pre-
cinct station. He said that on this coca
sion Peters told him he wanted to take
trip around the world, and intended to
build a temple in Honolulu. Peters also
gave him a number of orders and direc-
tons for the disposal of property. Mr.
Darlington concluded his testimony with
the statement that he considered Peters
unfit in his present condition to care for
either himself or property.

Ever since the collision between the
street car and Truck B at NJ Street and
| Connecticut Avenue. resulting in the
| death of Fireman Keefe, the Commits
| sioners have been considering what ac-
| ton. if any. they should take to prevent
the recurrence of such accidents in the
| future They first visited the committees
OF Congress urging them TO take action
upon the bill submitted to regulate the
speed, size, and weight Of cars operated
in the District The board then awaited
the findings of the coroner's jury before
taking further action.
Yesterday Commissioner Mcfarland as
President of the Board, authorized a
statement showing that the Commission
ers will soon issue certain orders relative
TO the matter which in their opinion will
lessen the probability OF such accidents
as that mentioned in the future. The
statement follows:
Rapid transit Of the Fire Department
to save life and property seems to me
more important than rapid transit of
streets to save time. The excessive speed
Of street cars here, besides other i'll eff
fects, seriously endanEers the lives and
property of the Fire Department in the
performance OF its duties, and, incidental
ly, defeats the purpose OF the Fire Depart
mcnt.
Long experience has shown that the
existing law is too general, and too lit
1 tie supported by adequate penalty, to en-
able the Commissioners 10 prevent eX-
cessive speed Of street cars. Even if we
had the mail army of policemen neccs-
sary TO time theh cars and 10 make ar
rests wherever and whenever the ox sting
regulations were violated along the
seventy-two miles of track, nothing would
come of it all except the imposition of
small fines upon the motorTaen. The cars
would continue to run as before. The
Commissioners. after months of obserya-
ton and deliberation, asked Congress TO
confer upon them adequate powers in his
regard In the short time remaining be-
fore final adjournment 1t seems unlikely
that this will be done. Therefore We must
resort to such measures as are available
under the present law.
As Commissioner in charge of the Fire
Department, in the absence Of adequate
authority TO control the running time and
so to prevent the excessive speed of the
cars, l think the next best thing is to re-
quire the street cars to stop a the inter-
section Of the common routes taken by
the fire companies. and also to stop on
the warning of the bell whenever and
wherever the fire companies actually cross
the tracks. In addition | believe that the
ordinary stops Of the street cars should
be made on the near side rather tI:an on
the far side of the crossings. do not
think that this is an important factor in
the problem. and | recognize that there
are arguments for the far-side as we'll as
the near-side stop but on the whole, it
seems to me worth while to make the
change, in order to eliminate any possible
excess of danger, especially 10 the fire
companies. over the far-side stop If my
first suggestion is adopted the near-side
stop would, of course. only avail for the
Fire Department at crossings which are
not On the routes commonly taken by the
Fire Department"

\ CORES ponient signing the initials Z.
G. L. has written TO the Commissioners
offering suggestion as to means to pre-
vent the recurrence OF such accidents as
happened to Truck b recently by colliding
with a street ear en- the Metropolitan
Line. He states that he has a plan to
suggest which, he thinks, will prove effica-
cicus. The plan in brief follows:
Mount one fireman at each house on
wheel. and when an alarm is turned in,
let him precede the apparatus by one or
two squares. He can stop at each railroad
crossing and signal the cars to stop, in
the daytime by a red flag and at night by
4 red lantern. He would be useful also
in turning back vehicles about to cross in
front Of the apparatus.
III there should Re more than one rail-
road crossing, after seeing the apparatus
safely over the first, he could speed to the
next, or, If that is not practical BILE, two
men could be mounted. wheel together to
the first crossing, where one would stop,
while the other would proceed TO the next.
There could be loud sounding bells ON the
wheels.
This arrangement would call for the
expense OF wheel or two for each fire.
house, but would add nothing to operating
expenses, as the men would be ready for
duty on reaching the fire. the same as
though they rode on the truck or engine"
