SAFETY FIRST" CAR
REACHES CAPITAL
Novel Methods Being Used to
Teach Gospel of Caution to
AutomobiIiStS.
By HARRY WARD.

The automobile, which is touring the
country on a mission to build up a ma
tion-wide safety first" movement. ar
rived In washington today in charge OF
Frederick II. Elliott, general secretary
of the Safety First Society Of New York
of which ogden L. Mills is president.
During the tour of New England and
the Middle West, Elliott and his driver
have had some stirring adventures.
Early today while coming into Wash
ington from Ridgeville. Md. the tourists
found the road near Ridgeville closed to
traffic because of construction work.
A detour brought them into a farmer &
field, where the owner demanded pay
for the trespass, backing up his demand
with display of a revolver.
Elliott finally made the farmer un-
derstand the nature of his trip and was
released.
The campaign car is equipped with
modern safety devices and accessories
which tend to make motoring more safe.
and, since its departure from New York,
on september 10, has travelled more than
1900 miles.
Besides Secretary Elliott, the car IS
carrying other representatives of the
Safety First Society who have been
using novel methods in preaching the
gospel of caution and in carrying the
message of safety first to motorists
and other users of the highway.
During the stay of the party in WASH
ington, several lectures will be made
by Secretary Elliott and other members
of the party. They will call on Presi-
dent Wilson.

Report on Suspended
South American Imports

Brazirs suspended imports as a re-
suit of the European war amount to
approximately s110,OOO,0OO. according to a
report of the research department of the
Alexander Hamilton Institute of New
York, published following the institutes 8
second investigation concerning the eff
fects of the war on American business.
Argentina's suspended imports amount
to $l00, 0,O0O, 900. the report states.
The institutes report takes the form
of a world map upon which are indica-
ted the trade opportunities opened to
Americans because of the partial sus-
pension. Of commerce of the warning
countries.
According to the report it is not in the
export market alone that the war af-
fords an opportunity for trade expan-
sion. The experts of the institute es-
innate that the suspended imports in
lines we'll represented by domestic in
dustries amount to more than
s4Oo. 100000 annually. Horae indus
tries, according to the investigators,
have opened to them, therefore. an i'm

ada in the same way must look to her

Asylum Patient Found
Dead From Pistol Shot

With bullet wound in his left temple
and .32-caliber revolver by his side,
George w. Kreamer. a patient at the
Government Hospital for the Insane,
was found dead today lying on the floor
OF his room in Chestnut ward.
After viewing the body and making
an investigation Of the case, Coroner
hewitt said that while he believed there
was no question but that Kreamer had
taken his own life, he considered the
case one on which jury should pass
The inquest will be held at the District
morgue at n:30 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing
The manner in which Kreamer OBJ
tafned possession of the revolver is a
mystery. The hospital authorities said
that the man was given the usual free
dom accorded patients not suffering
from violent mania. and that 1t would
not have been hard matter for him to
have obtained the weapon from some
outside source.
However, it was known that Kreamer
was suffering from an alleged suicidal
mania. and for this reason it was de-
cided to hold an inquest. Kreamer who
was sixty-six years old. was for years
employed In one of the Government de-
partments in this city. He was commit
ted to the hospital November 80, 1910.
following alleged threats he had made
to take his own life.
