TELLS HIS PLANS
FOR SAFETY FIRST
Mai. Pullman Addresses Wash
ington Association at the
Public Library.
QUOTES FROM HIS REPORT

Ways in which they could work best
to minimize accidents in Washington
were outlined to members of the Wash
ington Safety First Association py
Maj. Raymond W. Pullman, superln-
tendent of police, in an address peiore
the organization in the Public Library
last evening. He congratulated the
association on work which 1t mas ac-
complished, and said he felt certain
the relative decrease in accidents DUR
ing the three years of the organlza-
tion's existence had in large measure
been due to its efforts.
Mai Pullman read numerous recon-
mendations from his annual report.
which has just been completed He
pointed out that accidental poisoning
from gas and accidental drowning had
each been responsible for more deaths
during the last fiscal year than had
street accidents, and that, despite the
incressad number of automobiles,
Washington was one of the few cities
in the country showing relative de-
crease.
Mai, Pullman asked the association
to work for annual licensing of motor
vehicles The association seemed Ia
vorably disposed to the proposition.
with the exception that some OF the
members wanted to know just what
effect this would have on the taxing OF
the vehicles The matter was referred
to a committee for consideration. and it
is anticipated that if the annual license
system may be put into erect Wlthout
increasing the taxes on machlnes- me
organization will support the recon-
mendaton.
Sell Marylanders "Dead' Numbers.
The speaker said that from two to
five thousand dead numbers are now
in Washington and that some persons
make practice of selling these to
Maryland motorists visiting this city.
The existence of so many dead numbers
makes the theft of autos easier, said
the police head. Less speeding is done
than formerly. he said, but he presented
the need for more motor cycle police
men. especially within the city proper:
Every now and then some motorist
breaks loose and runs from forty to
fifty miles an hour, often right in the
heart of the city" he said.
Maj. Pullman explained that it is
now the custom of the police depart
ment to have revoked licenses of per-
sons driving while under the influence
of intoxicants. Twenty-three such
revocations were made last year. he
said.
Maj. Pullman also urged restriction
of the sale of firearms, saying that
prospective buyers should have to make
application of purchase from ten to
thirty days before the actual time of
delivery. This would give the police
a chance to look up the would-be pur-
chasers and see if they were persons
of responsibility, and If found to be
mentally defective or otherwise unfit
ted the sale should not be allowed.
Such a law, he said, would also pre-
vent man from buying weapon
when he was in a fit of passion.
Urges Front Licenses Also.
