DEATHS ON CITY STREETS
CUT BY COOPERATION

NEW YORK, June 14.--Compfla-
ton of automobile accident records
as made by the traffic and safasy
planning committee of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
reflects the results Of co-ordinaced
efforts on the part of the authori-
ties and prominent organizations to
make the streets safe for pedestrian
and motorist alike.
This Is shown by the fact that
fifteen cities came through April
without q single motor fatality.
OF these two. Evanston, ILL.,, and
Holyoke. Mass, had clean records
In March. New York city had sixty
fatal traffic disasters in April as
compared with sixty.six In March,

accomplished.
"Since 1914 there has been a differ

the amounts asked for by the Com
missioners and the amount Congress
has appropriated. Appropriations

would not have happened.

Insurance Code Explafned.
Following the report of the insur-

man, Mr.. Miller told the board of the
new insurance code for the District
of Columbia. which, he said. would
protect the investor in all kinds OF
Insurance.
The report. which was unanimously
adopted, follows:
Three insurance measures of
widely different character and of
great Importance to Washington have
been introduced IN Congress-the in
surance code, the Fitzgerald COM
penSation measure and the Cameron
compensation measure introduced in
the Senate January this year. The
code is the elimination of a great
many years of labor and is a COM
pilation by the best experts and most
experienced minds in the various
branches of insurance, and gives to
the District of Columbia the most up
to-date law in existence in the United
States today. 1t is standard legisla-
tion, admirable in every respect.

states, and yet at the same time

Mothers Congress Member Testi-
fes Before Chamber of Com
merce Committee.

Several witnesses testified before
the law and legislation committee of
the Washington Chamber Of Com
rnerce last night at the chambers
rooms, in the Homer building, 18th
and G streets northwest, on the con-
ditions in the Juvenile Court and the
practice of placing children in pri-
vate homes by the board of children's
guardians.
James T. Lloyd presided at the
meeting. The committee is conduct
ing hearings to attempt to ascertain
inending changes in the laws of the
District relating to Juveniles
Mrs. Z. r. Kalmbach Of the Moth
ers' Congress urged that the powers
of the Juvenile Court be broadened.
while several witnesses testified as to
the treatment of children.
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter insisted that
witnesses on behalf OF Judge Sellers
be allowed to testify and answer crit
fcisms of the Juvenile Court made by
witnesses at previous earrings, which
was done. Mrs. Kalmbach suggested
that the Juvenile Court be made a

bunal. with jurisdiction over children

practice Of the balance Of the coun-
try,
measure, namely, the Fitzgerald bill.
which Is a government monopolistic
very extreme lengths in many of its
provisions, puts a very great burden
upon our people which they cannot
escape, because 1t Is monopolistic In
character. and the premiums are col
lected as tax. Worst of all, 1t puts
the government sQuarely in the In
surance business to the exclusion of
private insurers, and might easily be
made the entering wedge for doing
the same thing with other lines OF
business. This Is contrary, as you all
know, to the feeling of our late be-
loved and lamented President, who SO
aptly expressed his disapproVal or IL
in the terse phrase Less government In
business and more business In govern
ment, and as his successor. president
Coolidge. has pledged himself to carry
out the policies of his predecessor, we
feel that 1t Is fair presumption that
he stands committed to the same SEN
timent. This measure, unlike the code,
puts us distinctly out of touch with the
balance of the country, as only eight
states out of thirty-tWo in the Union
have anything like it; on the con-
trary, they all have legislation SINH
Congress which l mentioned above.
namely, the Cameron bill OF Janu-
ary Z.
Compensation legislation here Is
bound to come. and your committee
thinks that the Capital of the nation
should conform to the custom of the
country as set forth in the character
of legislation enacted in the thirty
two states which Is like the Cameron
measure rather than the sort that is
In use in only eight states, namely
the Fitzgerald measure.
Therefore 1t is not a question OF
whether we want compensation or
not, but as to which we will take to
be in touch with the balance of the
country, because / do not think that
we can hope to escape legislation
that is country wide and has become
the established custom.
America has become great and
powerful by cooperation and stand
ardization. which has made us the
most practical and efficient people on
earth.

mends your Endorsement of the code,
