Daugherty Probe.

Washington, May 1.-THE courts
will be asked by the senate Daugherty
committee TO help It secure the can
celed checks of George Remus. Ohio
liquor operator. which he has testified
will tend to verify his story OF large
money payments to the late Jess
Smith, companion OF former Attorney
General Daugherty for protection.
After conference with Attorney Gen
eral Stone the committee held an
executive session today to arrange for
legal proceedings. There was no
friction between Mr.. Stone and the
committee. Chairman Brookhart said,
but court action was considered neces-
sary because Remus Is serving term
in the Atlanta penitentiary.
Wants to Get Papers.
Remus testified yesterday. when
brought to the committee from At
lanta, that his check records of mil
Hons OF dollars in liquor transactions
would throw additional light on his
assertion that he paid between s25O,-
900 and 100000. He Is still under
guard in Washington and desires to
go TO Cincinnati himself to get the
papers.
Resumlng its hearings after the ex-
eeutive session. the committee called
to the stand Warren Grimes, special
assistant TO the attorney general, and
Senator Wheeler asked him IL he did
not know that part OF the s10o.O
paid Albert B. Fall by e. l.. Doheny

said he did not knowN.

An interesting point is developed
in the case Of an owner who installed

BY WILLIAM CLLMAN.

''Fussiness'' in car ownership ap-
parently has come into its own as an
important but neglected. factor in ac-
cident prevention.
Some students of traffic and acci-
dent problems have discovered that
proud car owners make safe drivers,
and that as a consequence the rough
and-ready idea in automobiles must
be curbed
This new viewpointo the safety sub
jnct is said 10 be the natural outcome
OF trend in car ownership. which
has developed recently with unusual
rapidity and which is now recognized
rs q contributing cause of the excess
number of collisions and fatalities.
Autom obiles have become so indiS-
pensible and their uses SO broadened
that less time is allowed for caring
for them. Thus the notorist has de-
r'anded a rough -and-ready type of car
that he could constantly abuse. This
abuse, say the experts, runs hand in
hand with Increased carelessness.
The psychology Of il is that when
notorist doesn't give hang how his
car looks il is OF slight consequence
