COMMISSIONER S|ODONS
ESCAPES A COLLISION
Motor Truck Narrowly Misses
His Coupe-0rders the
Arrest of Driver.

For the second time since he has been
a member Of the board OF District of
Columbia Commissioners Frederick l.
Siddons yesterday narrowly escaped
serious. IL not fatal. injury when a
coupe in which he was being driven to
the municipal building came near being
run down by big motor coal truck on
18th street south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue..
Only the quick work Of his driver IN
pulling into the sidewalk averted COL
lision. as the heavily-laden coal van
shot across 18th street from the park
south of the Treasury building, bear
ing down almost directly upon the
Commissioners vehicle, which was 60
ing north on 18th street. So incensed
was Mr.. Siddons over the recklessness
of the chauffeur that he proceeded as
rapidly as possible to the municipal
building. where he issued instructions
to have member of the police de-
partment dispatched Immediately to
locate the driver of the wagon and
place him under arrest.
Had Runaway Experience.
Several weeks ago, while being driven
to the municipal building. Commits
sioner Siddons had an experience in a
runaway which came near resulting
seriously. A high-spirited horse, former
ly owned by the fire department, to
which the Commissioners coupe was
attached. became frightened at an
automobile. and ran for a distance of
more than twelve squares before it
could be brought under control The
vehicle careened wildly as it was car
ried at high speed along several
streets but did not collide with any
other conveyances
Commissioner Siddons is not the only
member of the board of District Off
Gals to order the arrest Of a chauffeur
because Of reckless driving or viola
ton of the traffic laws His civilian
associate on the board, Commissioner
Newman, some time ago ordered the ar
rest of a taxicab driver. whom he had
observed cut diagonally across into K
street from the Avenue of the Presi-
dents when, in conformity with the
traffic regulations, he should have
turned into K street in the line OF
travel.
The new board of District officials is
interested in the subject of proper con-
troll of traffic and will more than like
ly take up at an early date the Dis
tricts present traffic laws with view
to making any alterations or additions
which it considers necessary. 1t is un-
derstood the Board of Trade may ask
the Commissioners for a hearing on a
set of traffic regulations now being
considered by committee of that body.
It is expected that the request, if
made, will be granted.
