WOULDN'T EXEMPT DOCTORS,
But Commissioner Says They Might
Speed Their Autos.

>>SS~Ss
The recommendation Of Mai Sylvester.
chief Of police. that the District laws regu-
lating the speed Of automobiles be amended
so as to exempt physicians, hurrying to the
bedside Of the sick and dying, does not
wholly meet the approval Of Commissioner
West Although Commissioner West has not
had time to go over the papers Of the case
thoroughly. he intends to give the measure
his earnest consideration as soon as possi-
Bile.
There have been numerous complaints
made by the physicians Of the District re-
garding the practice of policemen in hold
ing them up when they are hurrylng in au-
tomobiles to answer sick calls. Commits
sioner West realizes the strength of their
argument. yet SO far he sees no good reason
why any one should be exempt from the
laws Of the District.
Il realize the significance of their COM
plants" said Commissioner West, "but In
stead Of amending the laws of the District.
right to arrest physician for violating the
law to the Judgment Of the policeman
I'm my estimation, the best way to dispose
of such cases would be for the physician to
give his name and address to the police
man, allowing him to proceed on his call
There are cases where It is absolutely neces-
sary to exceed the speed Iimit-in fact,
know Of one particular case where II was
necessary to break the law In order to save
the life of a boy who needed Immediate at
tention at hospital
"A minute may mean life or death" he
continued. but IL the hurrying physician
gives his name and address to the police
man. he can thus be enabled to pursue his
business without any serious impeachment ]

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. August 22.-The
'buckling' of train of freight cars on
the Port Richmond branch Of the Philadel-
phia and Reading railway early this morn
ing caused a wreck which demolished seven
cars out Of the twenty composing the train
and entailed a loss of more than $50 900.
When the engineer of the freight known
as the "Perkiomen freight" which was
running toward Richmond, attempted to
apply the brakes just above Allegheny
avenue, an empty car in the middle of
the string of cars, unable to Withstand the
sudden strain, collapsed while the cars in
the rear piled on top. The impact from
the rear was SO great that most of the cars
were completely demolished, scattering mer-
chandfse all over the tracks. Several brake
men jumped for their lives and escaped I'M
harmed.
Upon investigation by railroad officials it
was found that the cars were beyond re-
pair and the torch was applied.
