ASSIGNS A REASON.
Physician Explains Why People Defy
the Speed Laws.

Now comes forward a doctor, living in
Indiana, with learned explanation of the
question of why people defy the consti-
tuted powers and break the laws of the
land in their consuming desire TO speed
their automobiles like the wind. II is all
very simple after being once stated. There
never was any mystery in 1t. The whole
trouble originated in a careless disregard of
the intimate and paIpable relation and Sc
quence between a few such plain things,
states and conditions. as restaurants, gas
trlc disorders mental depression, digestive
fluids, recreation and the like. Restaurants
and recreation, the doctor declares, go hand
in hand
That beautiful truth Is explained In this
way: After one has enjoyed relaxation in
witnessing a play at the theater he has a
natural inclination TO go out and get some
thing TO eat. This is past denial and the CO.
relation therein existing is established
Furthermore, mental depression being an
tagonistic to digestion, 1t follows that men
should have recreation, and from this it is
an easy step to the simple proposition that
for recreative effects most people need
some sort of diversion which contains fast
motion.
There, at last, is the lucid conclusion
which Eliminates the whole matter. So 1t
is quite natural that men should seek the
beneficial effects of travelling as fast as
their automobiles Will take them.

THEIR LIVES IN PERIL
ADMIRAL AND MRS. sCHLEY IN
RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Both Escape Injury-one OF Their
Horses Killed-Collision With
Delivery Wagon.

Admiral w s. Schley and Mrs. Schley
were in an exciting runaway accident iast
night about o'clock. while returning 10
their home, at 1928 I street AS result OF
the accident one of the horses attached TO
their brougham was so seriously injured
that il had to be shot and delivery wagon
belonging to George NJ. Oyster was badly
damaged The horses attached to the
brougham were being driven south along
Connecticut avenue and when north of M
street they became frightened at an auto
mobile Making wild dash ahead and try
ing to get away from the vehicle, the horses
were soon speeding along the crowded thor
oughfare at a rate of speed that would
have done justice to many of the horses
upon a race track.
Admiral and Mrs. Schley realized the
danger of a collision, but nothing could
be gained by jumping from the vehicle,
they remained seated until the crash came.
They had confidence in the driver and be-
lieved ne would soon get the spirited ami
mails quoted. Street cars and numerous
vehicles were moving along Connecticut
avenue about that time and as the animals
neared the front of the business house of
Mr.. Oyster, the driver realized that an acct
dent was unavoidable.
Desperate Chance.
lie TOOK his cnOlCe between StTlhiIS d
street car and the delivery wagon, and
thought less harm would result from his
team coming in contact with the wagon. 1t
was apparent to him that the occupants of
the brougham would be less liable to get
injured and so he chose that alternative.
The contact was made with such force
that one of the runaway horses had its
back broken and the other was slightly
injured Mir. Oysters wagon was almost
completely demolished.
Fortunately for the occupants of the
brougham, their vehicle was not overturned,
and Admiral Schley and his wife escaped
injury. The admiral alighted as soon as the
vehicle came to a stop and assisted Mrs.
Schley to the pavement. They were then
but short distance from their home and
proceeded there with but little delay The
animal that had sustained serious an
injury was shot and its body removed.
Mr. Oysters wagon was so completely de-
molished that the fragments had to be re-
moved from the thoroughfare In order to
prevent an obstruction to traffic. The dam
age to the wagon Is estimated at about
$3.50. The damage to the brougham was
slight.
1t was learned on inquiry at the house
last night that neither Admiral nor Mrs.
Schley had been seriously hurt Both had
been badly shaken by the accident and Mrs.
Schley was a good deal unnerved, but the
principal regret expressed was for the pain

CITY AND DISTRICT.
AMENDMENT TO POLICE MANUAL
An Outcome of the Case of Policeman
Walsh.

AS an outcome of the case of Policeman
Walsh OF the seventh precinct against the
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia, which was decided by Justice Barnard
In favor Of the District, it is probable that
an amendment TO the police manual will
be ordered
In reporting on the matter to the Com
missioners Assistant Corporation Counsel
Stephens explained that Walsh was con-
victed by the police trial board of gambling
In a station house. and that he appealed to
the Commissioners. but before his appeal
could be heard he applied to the District
supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. Mr.
stephens cites the decision of Justice Bar
nard, which was to the effect that if an
offense was specifically prescribed by the
manual a policeman so accused would not
be entitled to a trial in court prior to being
brought before the police trial board
1t is TO obviate the objection that an ac-
cused person has not been tried by the
courts, so Mr.. Stephens says, that an
amendment to rule of the manual is sug-
geSted. This amendment, If adopted as
drafted, will read as follows:
Conduct unbeComing an officer which
may include. in addition to acts detrimen-
tai TO good discipline or tending to bring
discredit on the force, the violation of any
law of the United States or any law, mu-
the District of Columbia"

BOY'SHAND AMPUTATED
SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR IN
NORTHEAST WASHINGTON.

The right hand of Dewey Randolph, seven
years of age was amputated by the sur
geons at the Casualty Hospital yesterday
afternoon The operation was rendered nee
essary because of a serious gunshot wound
the boy received while In the vicinity Of his
home, 423 NJ street northeast. John r. Nc
Lean colored, twenty-five years Of age, is
locked up at the ninth precinct station,
charged with having inflicted the injury
which necesstated the amputation.
While Mclean admits that the wound was
inflicted with his gun, he claims the shoot
ing was the result of an accident. Mclean
is the son of the caretaker Of the Patterson
estate, large tract of land north Of Flor
ida avenue and was on his way home from
H street with the gun yesterday afternoon
when he was attracted by party Of boys
who We're enjoying a fire. He had been to
a store on H street to buy some ammuni-
ton, and while standing near the fire load
ed the gun with new shells. The Randolph
boy had been there but a short time when
the gun was discharged and he sustained
the injury mentioned.
Policeman Davis of the fourth precinct,
who happened to be near the scene when
the shooting occurred, placed Mclean under
arrest and turned him over to Policeman
Hebrew of the ninth precinct. The patrol
wagon WAS summoned ana the WOUNDED
boy was hurried to the Casualty Hospital.
Mclean was taken to the ninth precinct
station. The prisoner was unable to tell
just how the affair had happened. He told
of having been to the store on H street to
purchase shells, and said the gun was acci-
dentally discharged just after he loaded it.
Lieut.. Daley had an investigation made
by members of his command, but they were
unable to find a witness who could tell just
how the shot came to be fired. The officers
found resident of the northeast section
who stated that he had seen colored man
point a gun at a woman on the street a
short time prior to the shooting of Dewey
Randolph, and said the woman was so bad
ly frightened that she ran away. 1t was
also stated that Mclean had announced
that he had purchased the ammunition for
the purpose of using it upon persons who
trespassed upon the property where his
father was employed. The police were fur
Their informed that Mclean told the boys
he would fill them full of holes If he caught
them upon the property.
The surgeons at the Casualty Hospital
said last night that the wounded boy was
in q serious condition, but would probably
recover. He had suffered greatly from
shock and loss of blood The surgeons
found that some of the shot has entered the
leg of the little fellow.
