L. S. EPES EXPRESSES VIEWS
ON PROHIBITION COMMISSIONER
Candidate for State Senate Says once
Should Not he Abolished.

For some time past tho wet and
dry issue has dominated the selection
ana action of our state representatives
with a resulting loss in efficiency in
other matters Of great Importance I
90 not propose to permit this issue to
occupy my attention TO tho exclusion
OF other matters OF a real constructive
nature. which feet arc calling for CON
centrated efforts; but tho question has
been raised in the Twenty eighth Scua-
t"ridl District as to the abolition o.
tho Office Of State Prohibition Commits
sloncr and the appropriation for thu
use of that Office. and, as 4 candidate
for election TO tho Senate from that
district, ! desire to make my views on
these questions plain.
am hrmly convinced that the Office
OF state Prohibition Commissioner
should not be abolished
The prohibition law should DC prom
cr!y and efficiently enforced, but Just as
economically as real efficiency Will ,.i .
NIT The appropriation should he large
enough 10 accomplish this result and
no larger; and il elected, the amount
voted for by me will be determined
upon this basis. In this. as in all other
matters. VIII welcome tho advice and
counsel OF all thinking men. but ! can
not and viii not accept the dictation OF
any person or group of persons.
4Ncsc questions arc OF UnqucSticict
importance. but they must not DC per.

in about 5000 worth of clothes, in
Guiding a fur-lined overcoat.

mate of Tate. also was held following
testimony alleging he had passed
some of the stolen bills.
The system worked by the men
who had been employees of the bu-
reau for several months, is alleged
to have been as follows:
As messengers they would take
bundles of counted bill sheets from
Ohe rum ~ dhotHeI' Inc pills
would be counted upon arrival in
the second room.
After the second counting. in an
unwatchful moment by the man on

Both Tate and Floyd are alleged
to, have played the races with the
results of the system. -z-.. -r

POLICE FORCE
Safety First Association
Passes Resolutions Calling
Upon Congress to Act.

Heated over the appalling num-
Der of street accident in Washing
tOn," the Safety First Association
at a meeting in the Public Library
last night unanimously passed
strong resolutions calling upon
Congress to make necessary ap-
propriatiOns to properly equip the
National Capitals police department
against needless loss of life"
William +. Peabody. president of
the association, offered the two reso-
lutions covering modes of putting a
stop to the alarming increase of
street accidents.
The present police force, members
declared last night, is not large
enough for the proper enforcement
OF traffic laws.
Statistics presented by Mr.. Pea
body compiled from the District rec
ords show that pedestrians killed
were as follows: In 1915. 27; in 1916,
90; in 1917, 80; and in 1918, 33. We
hiclists killed were, in 1915, 3; in
1915. 9; in 1917, 10; and in 1918, 81.
Those injured in the correspond
ing years also show a proportionate
increase.
as being in favor of the police de-
partment levying the maximum col
lateral to be deposited at the police
stations by all violators of the traf-
fic laws.
A resolution offered by ]. Clinton
Hiatt, secretary. urges the District
Commissioners to place in their next
estimate budget a sum sufficient to
enlarge the lighting system in the
District and thereby cause fewer ac-
cidents.
Government departments which
have automobiles will be notified to
be more careful in having their
drivers observe traffic signs, accord
ing to a resolution adopted.
Milton d. Smith was appointed a
member of the committee on traffic
laws.
