OYSTER IS SILENT
| ON AUTO SPEEDERS
May Comment Later on
Judges Suggestion for
Heavier Collateral.

Commissi oner Oyster was not ready
this morning to comment upon a
recommendation Of Police Judge Nc
Mahon that heavier collateral be de-
manded Of automobile speeders in
order to insure their appearance for
trial.
Judge McMahon's' suggestion was
contained in an open letter in which
he set forth that only per cent of
the speed cases made by the police
during May and June came before the
court for trial. The total number of
cases for these two months was 1,439,
of which only 81 were tried. The
judge expressed the belief in his let
ter that the only plausible explana-
tion for the failure of the other 1872
defendants to appear in court is that
they found it more to their advantage
to forfeit the collateral deposited at
the station houses.
Three OHenses.
Judge Mcmahon pointed out that
there are three offenses of speeding,
with increased penalties for each Of
fense. They are:
Upon conviction for the first Of
fense, a fine of not les sthan IS nor
more than $50"
Upon conviction for the second Of
fense. within one year from the first
offense, a fine of not les sthan $40 nor
more than 800. or Imprisonment for
not less than five days nor more than
thirty days, at the discretion Of the
court"
And upon conviction for the third
offense within one year from the COM
mission of the first offense. and for
any and all subsequent offenses. fine
Of not less than $50 nor more than
$3.50 and imprisonment in the work
house for not less than thirty days nor
more than six months"
The judge suggests that If the po-
lice records show the number Of time
offenders have violated the speed
laws the practice of exceeding the
limit could be broken up by filing
second or third offenses against con-
sistent violators.
The judge said it is his understand
ing that all station houses are in
structed to demand $25 collateral for
the appearance in court of a man
charged with intoxication. He asks,
in his letter. if stationkeepers and
officers are permitted to exercise
their discretion in fixing the collat-
eral for speed violations.
Commissioner Oyster said he had
not had an opportunity to read care
fully the letter of Judge Mcmahon
and had no statement to make in re-
gard to 1t.
Police Practice.
Maj. Harry L. Gessford, superin.
tendent Of police, declared that the
question of collateral for speeding is
not left with srationkeepers or Of
ficers. AS far back as 1912, he said,
the Commissioners issued an order
fixing the amounts Of collateral to
be taken in such cases.
This order provided that where
there was no evident intention to
violate the speed law and where there
was no reckless driving, the police
should take IS collateral for the first
offense and $40 for a second offense
In cases where there was evident
intention to exceed the speed limit and
drive recklessly. the Commissioners
directed that $40 be required for a
first offense and $40 for a second
offense.

SMOOT's SALES
TAX KILLED
Senate Turns Down Levy of
One Per Cent
REPUBLICAN RANKS BROKEN
Seventeen G. o. p. Senators Join With
Democrats In Deciding Fate OF
Measure-Consldered
Decisive.

Washington.-The sales tax was re-
jected by the Senate.
The vote, .43 against to- Is for, was
on a proposal by Senator Smoot, Re
publican, of Utah, for / per cent.
levy, with exemptions provided in the
case of sales by farmers of the prod
ucts of their farms, sales by public
utilities and those by the United
States or any foreign Government or
any State or Territory, the Army and
Navy and hospitals.
The Democrats voted solidly against
the sales tax and were Joined by II
Republicans.
This vote was regarded generally as
decisive of the whole question OF a
sales tax at this time, but immediate
iy after it had been announced Senator
Smoot offered another amendment en-
bodying q business sales tax Of one
half of per cent. on gross sales in
excess of $4,000 year.
In the debate on the defeated manu-
lecturers sales tax plan some Repub-
lican leaders indicated that a sales tax
might have to be provided for in con-
nection with the soldiers bonus bill,
which, they predicted, would be passed
ut the next session Of Congress.
Discussion Of the sales tax was
comparatively brief. Senator Smoot
was the chief speaker for the plan,
which was opposed by Senator Len
root, Of Wisconsin; McCumber, of
North Dakota; Mccormick, of Illinois,
and Nelson, of Minnesota, on the Re-
publican side, and Senators Jones, of
New Mexico; Hefin, of Alabama, and
Simmons, of North Carolina, on the
Democratic side.

SUTHERLAND HEADS GROUP
Harding and Root Agree-President
Appoints Advisory Committee
And Technical staff To Aid y.
"Bin Four"

Washington. - President Hardn
completed selection Of the American
delegation to the Armament Confer
ence by the appointment of an advisory
committee Of 81 to act with the four
principal delegates, and a technicaI
staff Of "a to provide data and ex-
pert opinion on military, naval and
Far Eastern questions.
OF the two groups the technical staff
undoubtedly will be the more i'm
portant. It will contribute the expert
advice upon which the American dele
CATION will act in arriving at its poll
cies respecting both the international
issues and the limitation or reduction
Of ornaments.
Also from this staff will be drawn
the committeeman who will represent
the United States in the purely tech
nical studies to be made and in the re-
ports which are to be acted upon by
the Conference as whole. Some Of
the Conference committees, of course,
will be composed of accredited dele
gates, but many others will be made
up Of the staff attaches of the various
delegations.
The advisory committeeman will be
called into consultation by the Ameri-
can delegation from time to time for a
discussion of American policies, Presi.
dent Harding explained, and their
judgment is expected to be exceedingly
helpful to the delegates. 1t is not like
ly, however, that these men and women
will have any immediate official con-
tact with the foreign groups.
In selecting the technical staff three
groups were formed, the first made up
of international lawyers and interna-
tional experts, many Of them being in
the diplomatic service or in the Depart
ment of State, the latter including IL
officials, headed by John v. MacMunay,
chief Of the Far Eastern division. The
other two groups were from the army
and navy. Maj.-Gen. James G. Har-
bord, deputy chief of staff under Gen.
eral Pershing, heads the list of eight
army officers, while Admiral Robert E.
Coontz, chief of operations, is at the
head of the navy representatives.
The President explained that he did
not recognize any special element of
the population of the country in select
ing the Advisory Committee, but had
sought to include representatives of
the various geographical sections Of
the country.
The advisory committee will be
headed by former Senator George Suth-
erland, Of Utah. The vice-chairman
probably will be Secretary Hoover.
General Pershing was placed on this
list instead Of on the technical staff,
as was Admiral w. L. Rodgers, in or
der that the advisory committee might
have the benefit of the best military
and naval. advice in its own delibera-
tons.
