ARREST IS ORDERED
IN TRIPLE COLLISION
Complaint of Reckless Driving
Asked Against "Walcott K.
Waggaman."

Following an investigation by
Lieut.. William T. Stott of the police
department, Policeman F. T. Win
field of the seventh precinct today
was ordered to apply for a warrant
for reckless driving against "Walcott
K. Waggaman" of 1892 Klingle road
one of three motorists whose ma
chimes were in a collision last Sunday
night on r street at Eighteenth.
The investigation by Lieut.. Stott,
it was indicated. was made with a
view to charging Winfield with ne
glect Of duty for failure to arrest the
operator of one of the automobiles.
The fact that District officials are
waging a stringent campaign against
reckless motorists, 1t was admitted,
had much weight In the prosecution
of this investigation. Officials Of
the police department stated today,
however, that no action will be taken
against the policeman until the out
come of the case at Police Court.
When Winfield applied to Assistant
Corporation Counsel Thomas for a
warrant today issuance was tempo
rariiy held up because Of lack of wit
nesses. Winfield was instructed by
Mr.. Thomas to have witnesses at his
office in Police Court tomorrow.
The other machines in the collision
were one used by Secretary of War
Weeks and one of James Walsh, 2123
California street.
Stott's investigation established
that Winfield reported slight damage
to each car in the collision; that he
made no arrests, and that, Henry
Webb passenger in Waggaman's
automobile, was slightly injured, but
refused hospital treatment.

RUDOLPH NOT SURPRISED.
Says Gas Tax Return Could Not Be
Told in Advance.

Commissioner Rudolph. chairman Of
the Board of Commissioners, declared
today that he was not surprised or
puzzled over the apparent failure of
the new gasoline tax to produce the
$500 600 estimated for the first year.
The estimate of 100000 as the
amount the tax of cents a gallon on
automobile fuel would bring in was
largely a guess, since we had no au-
thentfc way of determining in ad-
vance how much gasoline would be
sold in the current year." the Com
missioner observed.
when the gas tax bill was being
drafted some predicted it would raise
more than a million dollars q year"
Since the law went into effect the
latter part of May the collections
have averaged about s65 900 a month,
making a yearly total of S7So,000.
The money is spent on street i'm
provements, and, in the light of col
lections thus far, the city heads have
reduced next years estimated expen-
diture from this fund to $725,000.
Commissioner Rudolph stated today
that he has written to the officials of
a number of cities in which the gaso-
line tax is in effect to find out how
their collections compare with the
number of machines in operation.
