PROMISES TO DRAG ON

For the first time in the history of
the District Supreme court the open
ing of a trial of international i'm
portance has been postponed daily
for five days. The postponement yes
terday again was due to District At
torney James T.. Laskey's inability to
secure a necessary twelfth juror
among the 226 veniremen summoned
for examination in Justice Gould's
court. Criminal Division No. |.
Extreme difficulty is being expe-
rienced in obtaining the necessary
twelve juror because of the number

Asks Special
Board For
Auto Licenses
Safety First Association
Acts Following Senator'S
Criticism.

Drastic changes in the system Of is
suing automobile licenses in the Dis
trict. as an answer to singing
criticism of reckless driving voiced by
Senators Fletcher. Sherman. Capper
and Frelinghuysen at the Capitol,
will be asked of the District Com
missioners. according to action taken
at a spirited meeting Of the Wash
inston Safety First Association in the
Public Library last night.
Asserting that the present plan of
issuing automobile licenses was ex-
tremely lax. members OF the Safety
First Association endorsed a resoIu-
tion calling for the appointment OF
a board of three members to pass on
all applicants before they are per-
mitted to drive an automobile on the
streets of the National Capital.
One of the members of the pro-
posed license board would be ap-
pointed from the office of the license
clerk: another from the ranks of
local physicians to pass upon the
applicants physical ability to drive
car, and the third would be an en-
ploye at the District Building VINO
could personally examine their in
dividual fitness.
Members of the Senate severely
criticised the ease with which ap-
plicants obtain licenses in the Dis
trict, and it is the opinion of SEN
ator Frelinghuysen. of New Jersey.
that if examinations were more
rigid it would have a tendency to
curb the reckless driving.
Senator Sherman will call his
committee together Monday to draft
a measure which he believes, IL en-

reckless drivers.
