Senator Myers stated that the FED

He spoke of the night OF morgan

This situation does not reveal q

The whole situation is designed 10

Senator Thomas supported the
stand of Senator Myers by saying that

WANT
SPEED AUTOS
Faster Cars Needed to Run
Down Motorists Who Are
Killing Pedestrians.

High-powered automobiles To NUM-
down the death" cars that are
slaug entering more people In Wash
Ington than In any other city OF the
same size, were pointed by trsfhc
officers as one of the chief needs OF
the Police Depart nent in making the
District OF Columbia safe for pedes-
trians when they testified today be-
fore the House traffic subcommittee.
To compete with the murder cars
the traffc force is limited to twenty
motorcycle men and eight low-pow-
cred machines, Captain Headley de-
clared. making 1t impossible always
to give chase to offenders VINO were
trying to make IA getaway.
Lieut. w. S. Shelby, in response TO
queries, declared that Washington
does not compare, favorably win
other cities In her traffic records. we
are killing more people than any
other city of this size, he told the
subcommittee.
Prohibition Betters Conditions
Although Captain Headley admitted
that conditions here have improved
since prohibition went into effect, he
said the proposed traffic judges
would have plenty OF work to do II
reckless driving is to be stopped to
make the streets OF Washington safe
for women and children.
The traffic force Is In special need
of more bicycle men. motorcycles and
automobiles, especially high powered
machines for the outlying districts.
1T is the only way we can compete
" it'll the murder cars he said.
Chairman Mapes, of the District
House Committee, was called to his
home in Grand Rapids, Mich. sudden
~ today by the Illness of his father.
Mr.. Mapes abruptly left his official
duties at the Capitol, leaving on the
first train out of Washington, as the
summons was of serious nature.
Both officers heartily indorse the
provisions OF the bill imposing a
maximum 81 900 fine or one year i'm
prisonment. for offenders who refuse
to render assistance to victims they
have knocked down. Congressman
Lanham of Texas expressed the
opinion that such cases should be
made a felony.
Maximum Fine Too Small.
1t was pointed out that under the
present law the only restriction on
the traffic refigulations is a maxi
mum $40 fine, which does not meet
the situation.
Captain Headley believes that the
Zihlman bill clothes the commission
of motor vehicles with too much
authority in enforcing the law. The
traffic squad, he believes should be
placed entirely under the supervision
of the superintendent of police and
the District Commissioners.
There are teeth in the bill and 1t
meets with the approval of all well
meaning citizens" said Captain Head
ley, land as for the others we don't
care what they think about It
Referring to the collection of fines
for traffic violations he said the traf-
fic force was an organization not out
for revenue but only for observance of
the law.
Want Views ON Tr1nic Court.
The subcommittee decided to sum-
mon the police judges to appear be-
fore it this afternoon in order to ex-
plain their views with reference to a
traffic court in the District.
They expressed the opinion before
the Senate subcommittee that the
appointment of an additional judge
would not be necessary as they could
do the work themselves.
