Seen IN Vote MOVE
Citizens Committee Tussles with

Washington needs a political boss
That fact was apparent. yesterday
when q committee of the Federation

that confronted the committee. How
TO prevent repeating. how 20 tell
whether a woman is old enough 70
vote, and how TO satisfy everybodyl
that the official count is correct and
defeat applications for a recount. were
some OF the big questions that the
committee considered.
The committee perspired for nearly
two hours with the details Of the

new District Commissioner and then
adjourned with an agreement that they
would think II over until O'Clock
Saturday night. when they will hold
another meeting and agree upon their

the committee has already discovered.

opinions as 10 how the candidates 20
be voted for will get their names upon
the ballot.
All Of these questions will be set

AS a result of the accident, Po-

Tuesday that physicians would be

Every doctor who drives

same as other citizens, or suffer

Charges of manslaughter will
be filed late Tuesday against
Verne Ashford, 1S-year-old auto
mobile mechanic, who ran down
and instantly killed Mr.. and Mrs.
w. A. McVoy at North Seventh
and / streets Saturday night.
A coroner's jury Monday after
noon heard all evidence of the ac-
cident, even going to the home of
Miss Gladys Mathews, 16, who
was riding with Ashford, and who
was forced to testify from her bed
because of injuries.
After a few minutes delibera-
ton, the jury returned a verdict
declaring that the death of the
McVoys was due to the careless
manner in which Ashford drove
his car.
Rankin Faces Charge.
1t was announced at the prose-
cutting attorneys office Tuesday
that E. w. Rankin, age 30, who
accompanied Ashford and Miss
Mathews on part of their JOY ride
and gave several drinks of whisky
to the youth, would be charged
with violation OF the liquor laws,
and also with contributing to the
delinquency of a minor child.
Both he and Ashford are still
in the city Jail.
No direct evidence as to the
speed of the death auto was
brought out at the inquest, but
the fact that the car ran into
city light pole after striking the
couple. and moved the pole sew
eral inches in the ground, be-
sides tearing away part of the
wood, indicated an unusual speed.
