Accused Fears He May Lose His
 License, He Tells Court

Before Edward S. Lancaster, charged with reckless driving, would enter a plea in police court this morning he requested legal advice as to what effect a plea of guilty might have on his operators license. It later developed in the trial of the case that the accused is planning an automobile honeymoon trip and he feared that his license might be sus- pended. so he was quite anxious 10 have the matter settled amicaoly in a manner that would guard against up setting his. plans He was told that his rights would be protected through a not guilty plea and he acted ac- cordingly.

He failed to perceive, he said. the approach of the Acer ear until it was too late 10 avoid the impact. The stories of the other principals and witnesses was substantially the same but they charged Lancaster was going too fast for the safety of other drivers. He said his speedometer registered about 25 miles an hour and shown by the fact that it was vent serious consequences from the collision.

10000. 900 DEPOsITORA

According TO Mr.. Meyers idea the
increase OF the rate and enlargement
OF the number of depositaries would
result in one year in the creation OF
10. .000. 900 depositors having an aver
age OF $3.50 each.
In other words. Mr.. Meyer believes
that within one year there would be
an increase In postal savings BANK de-
posits Of approximately &2.bo0,Ooo,ooo
Already Mr.. Meyer has taken ocea-
sion to say that he Is gratihed by the
strongly favorable reception given to
his suggestions. He says that he ha'
received a large number OF written
and verbal communications on the
subject from various sources. ana
that prominent heads OF national
banks. private investment bankers
labor leaders representing large
groups. and important leaders In
commerce and industry have assured
him of their approval.
Mr.. Meyer says the concensus OF
opinion was practically unanimous
on the following three points:
1. That per cent Is too low .
rate to pay to Government savings
depositors.
.. That the onerous conditions OF
not allowing interest for less than
year or for any fraction OF year
must be revised so that interest be
paid by the Government for deposit
OF three months OF over.
3. That the present condition which
gives the Postmaster no credit for
the Postal Savings business In estab-
fishing the rate on which his pay Is
based should be changed, so that iu-
stead of the Postmaster, as at pres
ent, having this business as an ad-
ditional burden without considera-
tion for the work, he would be prop
erly compensated.
Even the presidents Of important
savings Institutions have assured Mr.
Meyer that they will approach the
matter in the interest Of the general
public and not from a narrow point
of view of selfish interest. Mr. Mey-
er held a conference with the heads
of some New York savings banks on
Thursday. but he said that he was
not authorized to make their names
public

DEPosIrORIEs LACKING.

Mr.. Meyer declares there are In
Vulnerable towns where no places
exist for deposit OF savings. and as
a result the people have to hide their
money. This boarding. he said, was
particularly true with regard to a
proportion OF the foreign element
who lack confidence or are unfamiliar
with the methods Of savings banks
in this country.
Many millions would be drawn from,
this source with the expansion Of the
postal savings system, according to
Mr.. Meyer.
