BLAME PUT ON CHAUFFEUR
CROSS CHARGES MADE IN AUTO
COLLISION CASE.
Both Parties to Smash-Up Accused
Each Other of Responsibility.
for Accident.

As a result of two .'crosstire' cases
this morning, the sequence of pair OF
automobiles smashing together yesterday
near Connecticut avenue and NJ street.
and each of the men implicated appear
ing as defendant and complaining wit
ness, respectively, Edward Barton,
chauffeur of a wealthy resident Of 10Th
street. was fined So. His aecuser, DR..
Arthur l.. Hunt of the Burlington apart
ment house, the defendant in the other
case in which Barton was complainant,
was acquitted.
1t developed from the testimony that
Barton, who was driving a big touring
car. was coming rapidly from the cast.
and Dr. Hunt, in a small runabout, WAS
running downtown. Apparently neither
saw the other, according TO witnesses, M
til the crash came. The big automobile
literally plowed it's way under the run
about, and then tossed it upon the pave
ment and within several feet OF the plate
glass window of a store.
Immediately after the collision there
were recriminations between the two men,
each blaming the other for the accident
and making complaints to the police.

GOOD PLACES FOR Mr.. ROOT
LIKELY TO GET ON BEST SEN
ATE COMMITTEES
Expected He Will Be Assigned to
Foreign Relations and Mill
tary Affairs.

Secretary Root, to reasonable GER
tainty, will be made 81 member OF the
committee on foreign relations when ne
comes to the Senate as the successor or
Senator Plat Of New York. In the event
of the failure Of Senator Foraker to be
reelected there will be a vacancy on the
committee, but if the Ohio senator should
come back it is thought likely that some
member of the committee would retire,
taking a place on another committee of
equal rank, and thus make place for
the present Secretary of State.
Ordinarily new senator has to content
himself with unimportant committee APP
pointments. Exceptions to this rule occur
very rarely unless the member happens
to have been a cabinet member with a
record of unusual efficiency in one Of the
executive departments. In such instances
there have been established precedents,
the last being in the case of Mr.. Knox.
who came to the Senate from the De-
partment of Justice. He was given seat
Immediately as a member of the commit
tee on the judiciary in recognition of his
service at the head of the legal depart
ment of the government.
There is a particular reason for placing
Secretary Root on the foreign relations
committee. Since he became Secretary of
State there has been a closer relationship
between the State Department and the
committee than ever before. Whenever
matters relating to treaties or diplomatic
negotiations were presented to the COM
mittee Secretary Root always has been
ready to appear and explain the need for
the principles outlined, and the commit
tee received first hand a full explanation
of any changes made in the foreign policy
AS result he has gotten things through
the Senate that would have met with fail
ure had they been advanced by his pred
ecessors Not since Secretary Seward was
at the head of the State Department have
tere been such cordial relations between
the department and the committee.
Another committee on which Mr.. Root
probably will serve is military affairs AS
former Secretary Of War Mr. Root pro-
muigated the general staff scheme for the
reorganization Of the army, and he has
taken great interest in all War Depart
ment m alters.

ASK AMENDMENT OF THE Law
COMMISSIONERS FORWARD TO
CONGRESS DRAFT OF BILL.
Matter Relates to the Assessment of
Damages, Resulting From
Street Extensions.

The Commissioners have forwarded to
Congress the draft of bill to amend the
law governing the assessment of damages
resulting from street extensions.
In urging the enactment of the law the
Commissioners say:
The present law requires that the en-
tire amount OF damages ascertaincd by
the jury and the expense of the proceed
ings, in the opening. extension, widen
Ing or Strengthening alleys or minor
streets, shall be assessed as benefits ac-
crung to the owners of private property
benefited through such proceedings.
The proposed enactment differs from
the present law on the subject in provid-
ing that where property is condemned for
the purpose mentioned the damages and
other expenses arising from such con-
demnatton shall only be assessed against
the property benefited by such opening,
etc, to the extent that the jury may find
such lots or parcels of land will be bene-
fitted, instead of assessing the entire
amount OF such damages and expenses
against such lots and parcels of land as
benefits.
Also by providing that any excess OF
such damages over the benefits SO found,
but not exceeding % per centum of the
borne and paid for by the District of CO.
lumbia.
1.-THE object of the legislation recon-
mended is to prevent the imposition of
negotiable burdens upon property in
squares through which alleys or minor
streets are opened, by assessing as bene-
fits under the present law, the full
amount of damages, which, in occasional
instances, would be practically confisca-
tory of the property affected"

that Gomez already has taken steps to
re-establish good relations with the
powers and reopen the navigation on

has other information to the effect that
Castfo's return to Venezuela is regarded
as out of the question.
While the newspapers Of Berlin are
filled with dispatches setting forth in
detail the highly sensational occurrences
of the past few days that eliminated

Installation OF q new government in
