SUGGESTS MEANS
TO STOP SPEEDING
Capt. Headley Would Prevent
"UseIess Slaughter" of
Citizens on Streets.

Heavier collaterals and more license
revocations may be resorted to by the
District Commissioners in an effort to
compel greater respect for the Dis
| trict's traffic regulations and prevent
the useless slaughter of citizens upon
the streets.
These are suggestions which Capt.
Headlev, chief of the traffic bureau OF
the police department. will make at the
conference of citizens and officials to be
called by Commissioner oyster for the
purpose of studying plans for preven-
tion of traffic accidents. The Commits
sioner probably will set n date for the
conference this week.
capt. Headley today reported to
Commissioner oyster that in July
this year there had been one death
from traffic accidents in the District
and in August one death. Five fatal
tiles constituted the September death
roll. while October thus far has con-
tributed seven deaths on account of
traffic mishapS.
Agree on Drastic Measures.
Officials at the District building
practically are Il unit in the belief, it
developed today, that something more
drastic than the imposition of fines
will have to he reSorted to if speed
ital are to be stopped.
The thought Of these officials is
that heavier collaterals should be re-
quired of persons arrested on charges
of speeding or violating other Sec
tionS of the traffic regulations, with
the object of forcing the cases into
court. Then. if conviction is had. they
would add to the sentence of the
court 4 revocation of the license of
the person convicted, the length of
revocation to he determined by the
circumstances in the case.
For example. on Il first offense con-
viction for speeding. it is suggested
that, in addition to whatever sentence
is imposed by the court. the Commits
sionerS should revoke the drivers S
permit for Il thirty-d period. In
the case of second conviction. the
revocation would be for much
longer period.
Other Ofenses May Be Listed.
Not only would some District off,
,cials make speeding, reckless driving
and driving while under the influence
of liquor causes for revocation of Ii
cenSe, but they would add to the list
other offenseS. such as driving fast
through school safety zone and eX-
ceeding the speed limit at street in
terSectionS.
Commissioner oysters decision to
call a joint conference of citizens and
officials reflects his purpose, it was
explained today. to ascertain the
views of the public as to what steps
should be taken to promote safety on
the streets and formulate program
which will have public opinion back
of it. Charmen of the public safety
committees of the Board of Trade.
Chamber of Commerce and other or
ganizations will be invited to the
conference.
The Commissioner, it is understood.
is considering already a suggestion
that the traffic regulations he revised
in the light of facts developed by
traffic accidents of the last few
months 1t is claimed that study
of these accidents will point a sure
way to the most practical methods
that can be employed for reducing
the likelihood of accidents.

New Light on
Burial Customs
of Old Hawaii

Honolulu, Oct. 20.-New light
has been thrown upon the burial
customs and places of the ancient
Hawaiians through survey of the
extinct crater of naleakala, Island
Of Maui, recently conducted by
the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Mus
cum of Hawaiian and Polynesian
Ethnology, Honolulu.
The expedition found in several
Of the cinder cones which dot the
floor of the main crater of Halea-
kala evidences of the place having
been used for burial purposes, and
in two Of the cones terraced plat
forms of stone were found on
which were ahus, or stone cairne,
containing human skeletons buried
according TO the old Hawaiian
custom with knees flexed up
against the breast. No insignia
or other evidence to show the rank
of the persons buried In these
places was found.
The discoveries are In line with
known facts concerning ancient
burial customs, but the location
OF these burial places Is deemed
remarkable on account OF the in
accessibility of haleakala crater,
which is at an elevation Of over
10000 feet above sea and is enter
ed only with difficulty.
