OFFICIALS ARE
NOT In FAVOR
TRAP PROVISO.
Respect for Auto Laws
Plank of Auto
Club

Respect for all existing motoring
laws is a plank in the platform of
the Auto Club of Southern Cali
fornia, which that organization
wishes to serve rs a basis for the
conduct of the autoing public in
bringing about greater safety on
the highways.
1t is pointed ont by club officials
!, that disaster results from those who
obey abe laws which please them
and seek to evade those which hap
pen to displease them.
In IN editorial appearing this
month in the clubs official maga-
zine. it is stated that the attitude of
some communities. or their lofff.
cials, toward the speed trap provi-
sion of the new California Vehicle
Act is toabe regretted. 1t is point
ed ont that there is no loop-hole
of excuse for those who would evade
any Of those provisions.
Many communities. saw the club
officers, have accepted the law and
are living up to its provisions, but
others are expressing their disap-
proval by adopting the policy of
qualification. Such instances of law.
enforcement officers invoking tech
nicalities to Justify breaking the
law are dangerous and demoralizing.
Speed Trap Law
1t is stated by the club that this
organization did not ask the legis-
lature to enact the provision against
speed traps. It is not responsible
for the law, although it recognizes
that the principles underlying it are
sound ard that the law is well cal
culated to serve the purpose for
which such laws are intended, that
is, to prevent accidents rather than
TO turn the forces of the law into
revenue collection agencies.
The speed trap provision of the
law renders invalid in court any
evidence as to speeding secured by
officers unless the ywere in uniform
in full sight ON the highway at the
time of the alleged infraction of the
speed limit law. 1t has been prop
erlv held that motor vehicle regu-
lations are intended primarily to
prevent ace. .lents, and that when
they are used solely as means of
producing revenue, the administra-
ton of the law and all justice is
cheapened.

SAYS POCAHANTAS'
name WAS MATOAKA
E. H. Leech Raises Question Over
Appelation Of Indian Princess

New York May 4.-What was the
name of the Indian princess OF early
colonial days who saved Captain
John Smith from execution?
"Pocahontas," would be the answer
from almost any American school
child versed in American history.
And wrong" would be the retort
of E. H. Leech, of Greenwich, Conn,
who has started a movement to have
history textbooks altered in their sto-
ries of Americas most famous native
princes.
Search for Grave
Stirred by recent reports of search
In London for the Indian princess
grave for the purpose of having her
body brought home after nearly three
centuries, Mr. Leech made study OF
old historical sources, and says he has
found that "Pocahantas" was merely
the nickname or little name coined
by her father, the powerful King
Powhatan, in a moment of tender
ness. 1t means little tomboy," The
princess' real name, Mr.. Leech de-
clares, was "Matoaka."
News to Educators
or more than dozen prominent
educators whom Mr.. Leech wrote con-
corning his discovery, it was news to
all save one, he said. The one was
Harris Hart, superintendent of public
instruction of the state of Virginia,
who wrote Mr.. Leech that Pocahantas
had been recognized by her real name
of "Matoaka" in her native state, al
though most folk even there chung to
the diminutive ''Pocahontas."
Cites Authorities
Among the authorities Mr.. Leech
cites is document written In the
script Of William strachey, secretary
of the Virginia colony who arrived
with Lord Delaware In 1910. he
wrote:
'Pocahontas, or Matoaka, the
daughter of Powhatan, is married to
a discrete English gentleman, Master
Rolfe, after she had renounced
idolatry and been baptized"
Was "Itttle Name"
Strachey added that Pocahontas
was was the little name" given to
children in accordance with an Indian
custom. although she was called Ma
toaka "at more ripe years"
Mr.. Leech also cited the inscription
on a painting by Simon de Passe, done
shortly after she had made her tri-
umphal entry into England in 1916 as
John Rolfes wife. The inscription
reads:
"Matoaka, alias Rebecca Cher bap-
tismal name), daughter of the power
full prince Powhatan, Emperor of the
virginias."
