This man said there are places like
Delaware avenue and street, where
street car tracks are laid close to the
south curb of b street and where
motorist going east on street might
pass west-bound car. He pointed out
that the words car headed in the same
direction might cause question to
be raised as TO whether the regulation
applied at that location. The elimination
of the quoted words, il was stated,
would make it a violation to approach
within fifteen feet of any car
There is one section Of the new
regulations which, in addition to pre-
venting rear-end collisions between
machines, will give operators good
muscular exercise. 1t provides, as
follows:
"A driver intending to turn left
shall extend his arm in a horizontal
position and slow down.
Fine Physical Training.
"A driver intending to turn to the
right shall slow down, drive as nSar
right-hand curb as possible and ex-
tend arm with the forearm raised at
right angles.
"A driver intending to stop his
vehicle shall extend his arm and
move it up and down in vertical
direction" = ~
Motormen of street cars also are
given an opportunity for calisthenicD
by a clause which says ''he shall indi-
cate by an unmistakabie wave OF

PLAN FIGHT T0EN!!l
0ND.C. GUN-TOTERS
Chamber of Commerce Will
Approach Congress and
Nearby Governors.

Plans for Il fight to the finish on
the carrying of deadly weapons in
the District were set in motion to-
day by the Chamber of Commerce.
This organization of Washington
business men will appeal to Con-
gress, when it convenes next month.
for a law rigidly restricting the sale
of weapons in the National Capital
and. at the same time will petition
the Governors Of Virginia. Maryland
and other nearby states to recon-
mend similar Legislation to the legis-
latures of those commonwealths.
Charles w. Darr, vice chairman of
the chambers committee on police
and fire protection, made this an
nouncement today.
Congress cannot enact a federal
law interfering with the police pow
ers of the states. and the committee
realizes, Mr.. Darr said. that unless
sale of firearms is curtaiied in ter
ritory contiguous to Washington d
stringent law here on the subject
would avail but little, since persons
desiring guns could easily purchase
them in Alexandria or Baltimore
Nr. Darr SAID that not only the state
executives would be approached but
that the chambers of commerce OF
the several states would be asked to
inaugurate a campaign for enact
ment of an anti-gun law by their
legislatures in harmony with the Leg
isration which Congress will be asked
to enact for the District.
f;un-toting in the District is> be
given thorough airing at meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce to be
held at the New Willard Hotel Mon
day night. Mr.. Darr will report the
recommendations of the police and
fire protection committee, of which
Rudolph Jose is chairman.
The committee will recommend that
the District Commissioners and the
police department go the limit of
their authority to break up the
carrying of concealed weapons. The
committee realizes that little or moth
ing can be done under present condi-
tions to prevent the sale of weapons.
Mr.. Darr said today the committee
intends to keep up its fight on gun
toters until results are accomplished.

comparisons between the reception
given them here and in Frankfort last

friendly atmosphere in the occupied

down in the proclamation by Gen. De
Goutte. the occupation OF the city
would be ''supportable."
New Proc,nmatfons Issued.
Gen. Gaucher. in direct command OF
French units here. has issued new
proclamation saying, in substance.
that the German delegates at the Lon
don conference showed unwiIlingness
to observe the Versailles treaty. and
that the allies were forced to coerce
the German government to fulfill its
obligations. He has laid emphasis on
the fact that the occupation is in no
sense a hostile act toward the popu
lation, and that not only was the
freedom to work guaranteed. but the
allied authorities would do their best
to improve the condition of the people
and assure an ample foc1 supply. He
has stated. however. that the people
must obey any regulations that may
be laid down.
While the presence of allied troops
has been accepted in good grace by
most Of the people. business men in
the occupied district are worried over
the Consequences of the new customs
system. Reports are current that
