Brother of Auto Accident
Victim Urges Guilty Be
Given Severe Punishment

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your commendable editorial. Stop
the Traffic Casualties" in The Star of
January Is was most timely.
In this connection I should like to
have you publish the following Incl
dent:
Shortly before Christmas. my sister
aud an elderly friend were waiting
for street car at Wisconsin avenue
and Porter street northwest An of
ffcer, surgeon in the uniform of a
major of the United States Army,
driving an automobile. ran them down
without warning. killing my sisters
friend. dragging her body forty or
fifty feet before bringing the machine
to a stop, and severely injuring my
sister, breaking several bones in her
foot, so that she has since been con-
fined to bed and is only now begin
ming to hobble around on crutches.
There were no witnesses to the af-
fair available, except an old colored
woman, who testified at the inquest
for the Army officer, the latter being
promptly released.
1t is not reasonable to presume that
the victims, pedestrians who have SO
much more at stake than the automo-
p1llstS, are always at fault. In this
particular case the driver never once
inquired as to my sisters condition.
Such things might possibly be looked
Tor in careless truck drivers, but 81
GlHerent attitude is naturally expect
ed from an officer or gentleman.
While | should not wish to see an
innocent person suffer. ii seems as
you suggest. that the only way to
suppress such unfortunate occur
rences is to severely punish the guilty

to make. to put globes on the lights
of clear glass with q frosted hand
about four inches wide coming down
within three inches of the bottom;
half the lights will give more light
than all the lights we now have. The
lights as they are now are little bet
ter than no light at all. They make
q million and half shadows on the
streets, especially when the streets
are wet. / have often driven within
a few feet of pedestrians on the
streets before I saw them. especially
men in khaki.
Mr.. Beeler's raised platforms have
no doubt done much to lessen the ac-
cidents, but my suggestion. if carried
out. would save more than SO per cent
of the street accidents at night. Why
not at least experiment on some one
street with such a change of globes?
And I am sure they would be adopted
all over the city. W. D. TAYLOR.

Autoist Proposes Better
Lighting for Washington;
Would Avert Accidents

To the Editor of The Star:
There has been so much said recent
1y about traffic accidents in the city,
and so many causes given for the
great number of street accidents, that
| think ] will just speak out and say
what l think about it. | have been
operating car in Washington for a
number of years and have watched
traffic very closely and I see that
there are several causes of accidents,
but the one main cause of fatal ac-
cidents is the poorly-lighted streets of
the city believe at least so per
cent of auto drivers will agree with
me that Washington is the poorest
lighted city in the world.
I don't mean by that that there are
not lights enough. but the lights are
like the candle under bushel. The
globes over the lights won't let the
light shine. Now | have suggestion

look, and il they are subjected to a
close shave they naturally feel upset.
Paragraph b, section 40. police reg
ulations reads: Pedestrians should
avoid interference with traHc. ana TO
| this end should not step from the
sidewalk without first looking to see
what is approaching; should cross the
, street at right angle, preferably at
regular crossing at the end of a
block" etc.
forced to step lively to keep from
| being run down
This is a very frequent occurrence
and you can't blame him for becon-
ing indignant, especially il 1t looks
as if the motorist was trying for
"cloSe shave.
Then take the side of the motorist
or driver. after he has read para
graph "a of section 40. which says:
Streets are primarily intended for
vehicles and street cars. but drivers
must exercise all possible care not
to injure pedestrians He assigns
the first part of the paragraph to a
corner of his mind. and if he is one of
the irresponsibles he forgets the last
part and drives on. Some drivers
think and act as if they really own the
street and the earth, but the pedes-
trian has to cross the street and the
driver sh ould, consider the pedestrian s

speak. Some drivers-we won't call
them motorists-turn corners and
cross intersections at high speed tthe
laws permit twelve miles per hour),
two instances in which he does not
exercise due care and caution" This
should be stopped. SO we have the
cases of the thoughtless pedestrian
and the reckless driver, who doesn't
care and doesn't recognize rights of
the other fellow-who form jointly
tho cause" The effect" is pretty
well known. To obviate this ruinous
traffic situation, why not closer
study and cooperation on the part
of the police, pedestrian and mo-
torist?
AS a motorist the writer has not
license, and we presume there are
many others with the same expert
ence- In fact, we understand it is
the practice of the police to ask for
a motorists license only in case of
accident or obstructing traffic. If that
is true, and the police department has
not sufficient force to handle the mat
ter, then it would seem to be the duty
of Congress to take proper and nee
essary action to relieve the condition.
There is no doubt that the "irre-
sponsihle drivers" are the chief
cause and the individuals who need
police regulating; the regular motor
list needs no police supervision.
Jail sentences would break up the
abuse. Heavy fines might.

Regards The Stars Effort
to Check Street Accidents
as Timely and Commemorate

To the Editor of The Star.
The present effort being made by
your valuable paper to eliminate
street accidents is very timely and
commendable indeed, and you should
receive the most hearty cooperation
of every person in the city both old
and young. The terrible toll of forty
two deaths and over 1,009 injured in
the past six months on the broad
streets of our beautiful city is very
clear indication that there is total
disregard of our traffic laws by both
the pedestrian and vehicilist, and is
an indication that the streets of
Washington are about the most dan
gerous of any city in the country.
The city of Washington has some of
the best traffic laws of any city, but
unfortunately they are most fragrant
the protection of life and limb is what
Is called the fifteen-feot rule, wherein
all vehicles are compelled to come to
a stop that number OF feet from a car
discharging or receiving passengers.
This rule is most frequently violated
as was the case a few nights ago when
a young lady was run down and killed
way of thinking, is nothing short of
manslaughter, and should be pun
ished as such. Then there Is another
class of drivers who defy our traffic
laws by cutting corners and crossing
intersecting streets at high rate of
speed and rounding our beautiful
circles (where the pedestrian crosses
the street with the greatest difficulty
as though they we're on race track
coming down the home stretch
