BABCOCk RETURNS TO
 BATTLE WITH STEELE
Will Investigate Running of Auto By Fellow Com1nis-
 siOner's Son.

Alleged procedure by Safety Com missioner Howard M. Steele in allow ing his fourteen year old son to operate a touring car, or automobile of any type, without being accom- panied by licensed chauffeur is to be subjected to the close investigation of at least one of his colleagues and, ac- cording to present intentions, is likely to be brought up at meeting of the board for discussion in the near future. Aroused by complaints made to him personally and to members of the police department, Chairman Ed ward G. Babcock of the board admits that he has started an investigation relative to the truth of the reports. plans to have a talk with his colleague today and contemplates asking for investigation by representatives of Chief Rawlings department.
 Chairman Babcock said today: II do not believe that Commissioner Steele would follow such an ill-advised course as to allow his son to illegally operate a motor vehicle but the com plaints have been made to me and I believe they are such as should be investigated to ascertain whether they are true or only rumors. The same law applies to one as to another and a person in public office should be all the more careful in setting a good examples in complying with statutes and ordinances
 Similar reports have been received by police department officials from time to time but no action has re- suited. Members of the department have been adverse to being the one selected to investigate and bring action, should the allegations be found true. Officers and patrolmen have significantly shrugged their shoulders when the alleged procedure is mentioned.
 Although not admitting it, 1t is be- lieved that Chairman Babcock has. in addition to his own investigation. asked that a police representative make an investigation and file a re- port as to his findings If the conn plaints are correct, commented Chair man Babcock, there should be no ex- ception made and. action such as would be taken in other similar cases should follow.
