McAdoo, Chief Magistrate, Calls
Drunken ChauffeurS Greatest
Menace to Safety.
SEEK NEW LAW IN ALBANY
Resolve to Ask Legislature for
Amendment Allowing Jail
Sentences for the More
Reckless Drivers.

Chief Magistrate McAdoo. at a meeting
of the Board OF City Magistrates, yester-
day afternoon, discussed with his fellow
Judges the question Of how to deal with
drunken and reckless drivers and the ma
jority were Of the opinion that the present
highway law, Section 29O, was totally in

nous resolution a few days ago. that q
bin be drawn and presented to the Leg
islature amending this section of the law
% that Imprisonment in lieu of payment
of fine shall be one day Of imprisonment
for each dollar of fine imposed.
MAGISTRATE McAdoo said that unless the
LEGISLATURE increases the amount or the
fine, the alternative Of Imprisonment can
not exceed twenty-five days. A chauffeur
under the influence of liquor. handling
powerful engine, having from ten to Sixty
horsepower, no declared, was the most
dangerous menace to life and safety that
could well be imagined.
The Chief Magistrate said he liked the
way Magistrate Herbert handled a case
before him Of a drunken chauffeur endan-
gering life and acting In disorderly
manner while running his high powered
machine on the public streets. Instead OF
making a charge against him under the
Callan law, he took a charge for disor-
Derby conduct and sentenced him to serve
six months in the workhouse.
"a, to, continued Magistrate
McAdoo. 'if the defendant declares that
he is unable to pay the fine the court Is
obliged 10 discharge him, thus making
the whole affair farcical."
Magistrate John j. Freschi said: y

Some Drastic Changes To Be
Suggested to Legislature
by LazanSky.
AIM TO CHECK SPEEDING
Effort Also Will Be Made to
Eliminate Murder Cars"
and to Fix a Flat
Rate for Fees.
fBy Telegraph 10 Tho Tribune. !

Albany, Dec. 3O-Announcement was
made to-day by Edward LaZansky, Sec
rotary Of State. that his annual report
would make recommendations fQr sweep
ing changes in the motor vehicle law. His
suggestions include many made by the
Highway Protective Association and vari-
Gus automobile associations. Edward &.
McGoldrick, Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci of New York, has amendments pre-
pared by some Of the Judges in New York,
the Corporation Counsers office and Dis
trict Attorney Whitman. which will be Of
cred among the first bills introduced.
The Lazansky suggestions are made TO
remove two especially bad features Of the
existing law-inadequate check on the
licensing Of chauffeurs. and inadequate
penalties for reckless driving, especially
by intoxicated chauffeurs.
Ho would have all persons who drive
motor vehicles, including motorcycles,
licensed This would take In owners OF
cars and friends to whom they loaned
them. In cities of the first class he suG-
gests that no license be issued without
the approval OF the Police Commissioner.
If this be deemed too drastic, he would
have II apply to owners and drivers or
cars for public hire. This Is intended TO
eliminate the ex-convtct or crook driver
Of taxicabs and murder cars" He would
give the Secretary Of State power to
refuse applications for license, subject TO
court review, and TO suspend licenses
and. after hearing, to revoke them,
subject to a court review of this action.
Mr.. I.azansky thinks there ought to be
uniform set OF speed rules throughout
the state and no local speed ordinances.
He would make II misdemeanor, pun
ishable by fine Of not less than $40 or i'm
prisonment for six months, or both TO
operate a motor vehicle without a license;
a misdemeanor, same punishment. for an
owner 10 allow an unlicensed person to
drive his car: misdemeanor. same pun
ishment. TO operate a car not registered !:
felony, punishable by imprisonment
only. for any intoxicated person to OPP
crate a motor car. Conviction OF this
offence should &C. automatically TO revoke
registration or license. or both, without
further hearing.
lie suggests a nat rate OF 20 cents
horsepower, with 20 fee less than s.. for
registration OF motor cars, instead OF the
prcse.t graded registration fee. He would
compo' garage owners to keep a register
OF every car entering and leaving their
places.
Amendments TO the Callan law un-
doub,cdlv will be among the first legis-
lation passed. but II is doubtful II they
will 20 so far as these suggestions. The
legislature ia sure TO impose n proper
penalty for tho intoxicated chauffeur, 80
that he may no longer escape with
fine only. as Justice Pages Interpretation
OF the law permits him TO do.
