White Haired Pastor
Denies Accusation of
Graft and immortality

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.--Blankef de.
NAL OF all charges against him, his
teachings and his school were made
here today by the Reverend H. III.
ferguson, evangelist, whose aotivi.
ties in Bloomington, III, and Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, brought cries Of
graft" and immortality" from q
committee of Mennonite ministers
who investigated him.
Il have no mystic powers over
women" the white-haired preacher
said at his home here. 81 canno:
make them do my bidding. I am
an evangelist preacher of the
faith of John Wesley and a curer
of the ills of mankind through faith.
These charges against me are
absolutely false. 1t is the work of
enemies who are jealous of my sue
cess. l have been remarkably sue
'cessful in my work as an evangelist
and have made many cures through
the preaching of faith in God.
1t is true had some trouble with
a congregation in Cedar Rapids two
years ago. still have many friends
there, however. and last month I
was urged to come back and preach.
/ did go back and these new charges
are the result"
The Mennonite investigation is
said to have been prompted by Fer.
guson's invasion of Illinois. Their
report charged his school, at Cedar
Rapids was virtually a harem, and
that by his teachings he obtained
possession of the property of his fol-
lowers.

Jail for Auto Sinks

IT am heartily in favor of the
imposition Of Jail sentences of not
less than nine months on motor
vehicle operators who are convict
ed of coll.ding and running away.
There may be some excuse for col
liding in some cases but there is
absolutely no excuse for the crime
OF running away from the conse
quences of collision. The man who
leaves his victim on the pavement
when prompt care might mean the
saving Of life is no better than a
murderer, No treatment can be
too severe for this criminal.
Motorists who collide as a re-
suit of law violation, or negligence
should le severely punished. In
cases where the collision arose
through circumstances outside the
control of the driver, of course, he
should not be held so deeply re-
sponsible.
Pedestrians In the street should
be subject to control precisely as
motorists are, both for their own
protection and for the safeguarding
of the rights Of motorists. There
are pedestrians who provoke vio-
lation Of the law by motorists,
ether through ignorance or care.

mitted."

Bonding Of All Motorists and
Jail for Speeders Urged by
Officer j. P. Miller

Use Of the iron hand against
motorists who violate che law is
urged by Traffic Policeman james
p. Miller. on duty at Ninth and r
streets northwest, as a means If
cutting down the number If traffic
killings and traffic violations in
Washington.
He urges that the entire traffic
code be rewritten, with the view Of
imposing more drastic penalties,
eliminating useless regulations and
providing more effective proven
tive methods.
Among the changes he would
like to see in the traffic code are
laws providing for the following:
Drastic Remedies.
Bonding of all automobile drivers.
Placing a photograph of the
driver on his permit.
Removal Of the existing speed laws
and substitution of a reckless driving
penalty.
Imposition Of a jail sentence of
from nine months to one year on
motorists who collide and run away.
Imposition Of heavy fines or jail
sentences on motorists who collide
through their own violation of the
laws, gross negligence or willful dis.
regard Of the rights of pedestrians
or motorists.
Control of pedestrians at cross.
walks and penalties for jay-walking.
Installation Of the tower system
of automatic traffic control.
Wants All Bonded.
't.All motorists should be bonded
in the sum of $780," he said. "Ther,
in case of fragrant violation and ali
attempt to escape the consequences
by flight, the bond would be forfeited
to the government. This would also
afford measure of relief to the vic
Tins or the families of victims Of
the traffic killer who speeds away.
Every drivers license should
bear the photograph of the licensee
so that the traffic policeman could
have positive means of identify
ing the driver, and to prevent the
leaning or sale of operators per-
mits. The need for this means of
Identification is shown every day.
IL would like to see all speed
laws revoked and reckless driving
regulation, with drastic penalties.
substituted A hard and fast speed
law is not adequate, in my judg-
ment. Some drivers constitute a
greater menace to life and property
when travelling at fifteen miles an
hour than others do at twenty-five
miles. A skilled, careful driver
should be permitted to travel at a
greater rate of speed than the
awkward, inexperienced man. Each
driver, however, should be held
strictly responsible for his own
actions. Driving in excess Of
twenty five or twenty-eight miles an
hour should constitute 'prima facie
