The Rule of One Hundred Feet.

A few nights ago rear-end collision oc-
CURED on the Chevy Chase car-line in this
District. Fortunately no one was killed
and the injuries inflicted were not of a
serious character. Yet the nature of the
collision was such that this immunity from
fatal results is to be ascribed to good luck
rather than good management on the part
of the operators. Two efforts have been
made by the police to place the blame for
the accident The conductor of the forward
car was arrested and tried for violating
the regulation which requires each moving
car after down to carry two lights.
one displayed on each end thereof" After
hearing evidence the court held that the
car was for all practical purposes prop
erly equipped with lights that of an oil
lamp burning in the middle of the rear
car sufticing to give ample warning to any
motorman in the rear. Then the motorman
of the rear or colliding car was arrested
and charged with violating the rule, stated
in the same paragraph of the police regu-
lations. which stipulates that no street
car shall follow preceding car moving in
the same direction at less interval than
100 feet. unless coupled thereto" The court
has passed also upon this case, and has
dismissed the charge on the ground that
the forward car was still and therefore not
a moving car within the meaning of the
rule. In other words, the court holds that
a which bumps into another Is not 'fol-
lowing 1t.
Thus the police regulations, as Interpreted
in this manner. palpably fail to cover the
case. The collision must be set down to
unavoidable causes or else to the gross
negligence of the motorman In failing to
keep his car under control. regardless of
the specifications of the municipal law 1t
was supposed. before this case occurred to
throw light upon the rules. that the regu-
lation in question was designed especially
To prevent this very kind of accident. If in
terpretcd as the public has heretofore had
reason to expect it to be. no motorman
could well be SO careless. short of abso-
lutte stupidity or criminal folly as to bring
his car into collision If there are any con-
ditions in the District which do not permit
a moving car-assuming that the legal rate
of speed is reasonably observed-to be
brought to a halt in 100 feet. then remedial
attention should be paid to grades and
brakes and sand boxes.
