SCHOOLBOYS TO GUARD
CHILDREN ON STREETS

Organization of a corps Of traffic
monitors composed of boys in the
| eighth grade of each of the public
schools to protect children crossing
streets at recess time probably will
be perfected soon by the supervising
principals at the direction Of Supt.
Ballou. Such a plan is now under
consideration by the superintendent.
and he indicated today that he would
discuss it at his next conference with
his supervisory officials
The suggestion that boys in the
eighth grades be assigned as moni-
tors. and stationed at dangerous
crossings, as one method of decreas-
ing danger to school children in the
vicinity Of the school buildings. was
made by o. P. NJ. Brown. a member
of the committee on public schools
of the Board of Trade. and referred
to DR.. Ballou by Roy c. Clafiin, chair
man of the committee.
The communication sent to DR..
Ballou by Mr.. Claflin stated that he
considered the suggestion of Mr..
Brown as one worthy of considera-
tion of the superintendent of schools
and of the board of education"
THE suggestion" said the letter.
lis as to means of decreasing the
danger to school children in the
vicinity of school buildings in cross
| ing streets on which automobiles are
i constantly passing. Mr.. Brown sug-
| gests that young men in the eighth
| grades be assigned as monitors. and
F! be stationed at the dangerous cross
ings. perhaps one on each side OF
| the street, to guard the smaller chill
dren.
I'm. view of the ever-present dan
ger to school children. / am sure yoi
| will welcome this suggestion and
| consider it on it's merits"
Replying to Mr. Clahin's letter

suggestion. and pointed out that a

position ,~of Sentences
"Would Do Much Good"

Imposition of Jail sentences in eases
involving arrests of persons for driv-
ing automobiles while under the lnfiu-
ence of LIQUOR would do much good"
commented Maj. Harry l.. Gessford,
superintendent of police. this morning.
1t is probable that the attention OF
members of the force soon VIII be caii-
ed to the necessity Tor paying close at
tention to such violations. =
Lieut.. w. S. Shelby of the police trafs
fic lorce tolc S,ar reporter ne thought
jaiI sentences should be imposed in such
cases.
.'rhe mere revocation of permit TO
drive a car seems 10 be insuhlclent 70
stop the dangerous practice" he sald.
Asked il he mad any record showing
imposition OF Jail sentences in sucn
case the traffic lieutenant answered
in the negative. He admitted haMas
unfamiliar with the dispositioHof of
such cases brought before the Police
Court judges during recent , monins: ans:
1t is said, however, that several sucH
offenders were assessed as much ,sas
s105.
Captains to Report. =.
Police captains are required to res
port all cases of persons arrested and
convicted of charges involving the
driving of cars or other vehicles while
under the influence OF liquor, anu III
each instance, it is stated the Com
missioners revoked their permits to
drive.
II has been the plan of Maj. Cess
ford to keep such persons deprived
of their permits for long enough
period to guard them against repe-
titions of the offense, usually ninety
days, and even then he recommends
restoration of permits only in cases
in which he has the assurance that
the drivers will refrain from the use
of intoxicants while driving their
ears.
Police records show that three
dozen permits have been revoked
since the middle of September. Prose-
cutions for driving while under the
influence of liquor are brought. un-
der the provisions. of the Sheppard
prohibition law. The penalty is a
fine not to exceed $500 or imprison-
ment in the jail or workhouse not
exceeding three months, or both fine
and imprisonment.

CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY
INTO D. C. UTILITIES

vigorous fight in the House to force
it through.

mass of testimony and evidence with
lie utilities in the National Capital,
especially with regard to the street
railways and the charges for gas. he
says that if other cities can have gas
at 81 a thousand feet and street car
rides for cents Washington should
have equally cheap service.
One feature Of the proposed investiga-
ton is to discover what. if any, con-
nection there has been between officials
serving on the Public Utilities Commits
sion for the last few years which grant
ed increased rates and the stockholders
of such corporations. Representative
Ktchin says that from all he has
learned these officials should cease tc
draw pay from the government and
should get it from the corporations
.twhom they best serve" He says that
the officials of these corporations might
Just as well serve on the Public Utili-
ties Commission themselves.
Representative Kitchin also promises
to make an effort to get reduced car
fares for school children. the charge to
