Frankfort in woman's dress and when
he tired Of his brief freedom was
caught by guards ascending rope lad
der in an attempt to scale the refor-
matory walls and re-enter his prison
home.
The fact that he carried a dress led
prison officials to believe Vending
may be responsible for the appearance
of the woman in black" whose pres
ence on the streets has been reported
a number of times to the Frankfort
police.
Vending, secreted himself in the
prison chapel after a picture show and
in SOME unexplained manner made his
way outside the reformatory walls.
His absence was noted and a search
Instituted, but he voluntarily returned
. Vending, subject of a nationwide
search in 1909, as slayer of Alma Kell-
ner. eight years old, whose body was
found buried under Louisville church
of which Vending was janitor, was
found in San Francisco in July, 1910
Brought to Louisville, he was convict
ed of murder and sentenced to life
imprisonment. While a trusty, he once
was found in the home of a Frankfort
woman and still later, after an absence
of a week, was discovered passing the
frankfort courthouse disguised as
woman. All prison privileges, it was
said, have been denied him.

ANT|-|AYWALK|NG
| LAW IN D. c. URGED
Secretary of A. A. A., Aroused
/ by Accidents, in Plea to
T Maj. Gessford.

Aroused over the serious traffic ac-
fidents which have occurred in this
city during the last week, William
Cllman. secretary of the American Au-
tomobile Association. has written to
MAI. Gessford urging the adoption of
an anti-jay walking ordinance for
Washington
Mr.. U1lman points out, in his letter
10 Maj. Gessford that a comparatively
easy way of determining the need of
jay walking law is by a comparison
of the different types of accidents;
whether they occurred in the middle
OF the street when a pedestrian was
walking at an angle, or whether they
happened at the regularly designated
crossings. He urges the department
to keep such statistics for traffic reg
Ulations of the future.
Secretary Ullman's Letter.
Mr.. U1lman's letter follows:
1T is with much regret that I learn
from the daily newspapers that street
collisions between automobiles and
pedestrians seem to be occurring
with the same frequency that marked
the days before the District Safety
Council came into existence. Since
the press accounts seldom recall
whether the collisions occurred at
street corners or in the middle of
the block, 1 am wondering whether
your department has kept a record
of the exact places of occurrence. If
SO, will you permit me to gather some
statistics therefrom? If not. don't
you think such a record ought to
help UNNECESSARILY in framing traffic
regulations?
You know, the A. A. A. has long
commended for Jay walking or
dinance in the District-that is. a
regulation which would require pc
destrians to cross at designated
crossings, at which they would have
the right of way, giving vehicles the
right of way betw cen streets. While
Sthe District Commissioners in their
wisdom have not seen fit to indorse
our views. We. nevertheless, still con-
tend that jay walking ordinance
is the necessary thing to reduce
street accidents in Washington.
Suggests Full Records.
why not put our contention to
test? If you have not kept a record
of just how the accidents of the past
year have occurred. why not keep a
record during the next few months
and let us see just whether the bulk
of the collisions are due to motorists
driving recklessly at street crossings
or to pedestrians running wildly or
meandering absent -mindedly where
vehicles are supposed to be operated
with some freedom?
II should be very glad to hear from
you OH this subject. and wish again
to assure you of the services of this
any plans you may formulate to
make the streets of Washington
safer for pedestrians and motorists
alike"
