BLAMEs THE MoToRMAN.
Report Regarding Recent Collision
Between Car and Patrol Wagon.

Commissioner West today received re-
port from Maj. Sylvester. chief of police.
upon the collision between the second
police precinct patrol wagon and the
Chevy Chase car at 18th and p streets
northwest last Friday. in which four
policemen and the patrol driver were
seriously injured. The report places the
blame on the motorman of the car. and
states: According to eyewitnesses,
the car was being operated at such an
excessive rate of speed that i'm the i'm
pact which ensued the momentum of the
car was sufficient to ovcrturn ths patrol
wagon
AS result of this report, Commits
Sioner West who has supervision of
the police department.. has referred the
report to the corporation counsel with
instructions to report upon the DISPOSE
lice Court against the motorman of the
car. and also directing him. should the
facts offer sufficient warrant, TO lnsti-
tute such proceedings in the higher
courts as will protect the interests of
the injured policemen. inasmuch as
they were In the performance of pub
lie duty at the time their injuries were
received. He has also directed tile cor
poration counsel to instruct the assist
ant corporation counsel assigned to the
prosecution of the case in the Police
Court to give especial attention to it
and to have the testimony at the trial
recorded geographically.
THE action proposed in this case" said
Commissioner West today. establishes a
precedent in District administration, but
it Is one that seems to me to be in every
way worthy of adoption. 1t means that
when any policeman or fireman is injured
i'm the actual performance of his duty by
criminal carelessness the District will
undertake. through the corporation coun-
sci. to protect his interests.
81 have conferred with the corporation
counsel upon the matter, and he agrees
with me that this case presents very
different phase from an accident which
may befall a policeman or fireman who.
while a passenger upon a street car, for
instance. happens to be injured
"In that case the officer could institute
proceedings through the medium of an
attorney retained for that purpose.
I'm this case. however. the victims of
the accident were In patrol wagon and
in the actual performance OF duty. and
II seems 10 me that it becomes the duty of
the District government to see that they
shall not lack for all the legal aid which
their case demands. if il shall be shown
that their injuries were the result of
criminal carelessness.
