A. T. HOFFMAN DIES
TESTIFYING IN COURT
Real Estate Operator Stricken
While on Witness Stand.
Had Heart Trouble,

Aylett T. Holtzman, rs years old,
real estate operator and notary pub
lie, dropped dead today on the witness
stand of Police Court before Judge
Gus A. Schuldt, who was trying Zenas
E. Thorpe. on a charge of driving
while drunk, in the courtroom of Grim
inal Division l. Mr.. Hoffman had
been suffering from angina pectoris
for two years and was stricken while
testifying for the Government He
collapsed on the stand and was re-
moved to an anteroom and died be-
fore medical attention could be Sc
cured.
Mr. Hoffman had been accompanied
to court by nephew, who took
charge of the body pending the ar.
rival of the coroner.
Born in Rappahannock County, Va,
Mr.. Holtzman came to Washington 40
years ago and was associated in the
realty business with his brother, the
late William F. Hoffman, at 1919 F
street, for many years. After the
death of his brother Mr.. Holtzman
removed his office to 1918 X street,
where he was conducting business.
Mr.. Hoffman was unmarried and is
survived by a sister, Mrs. T. d. D.
Clark of Manassas, Va, and four
nieces and four nephews.
Funeral arrangements will await
the arrival of his sister.
But little disorder was noticed in
the courtroom as the witness was re-
moved. Judge Schuldt proceeded to
call the next witness.

Automatic Devices Ordered

From 18th to 18th.

Violations Arouse Eldridge-Limit
Penalty Is Promised All
Future Offenders.

The second thoroughfare in Wash
ington on which traffic will be con-
trolled by automatic signal lights will
be Massachusetts, avenue from Twelfth
to Eighteenth streets. Workmen are
about ready to start installing auto
matte lights on Sixteenth street from
III street to Newton street.
The Commissioners decided at
board session today to extend the au-
tomato control system to Massachu-
sets avenue upon recommendation of
Traffic Director Eldridge.
When automatic lights were order
ed for Sixteenth street it was planned
to extend the control system around
Lafayette Square by placing lights
on H street at Madison place, Six
teenth street and Jackson place and
on Pennsylvania avenue at Madison
place and Jackson place.
Director Eldridge recommended to
Commissioner Fenning today that the
five lights which were to have been
placed around Lafayette Square could
be used to better advantage on Massa
chusetts avenue at Twelfth, Thir
teenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets. Massachusetts
avenue is a busy thoroughfare dur
ing the rush hours and is also crossed
by heavy flows of traffic at the inter
sections mentioned.
1t is expected that the automatic
lights will be in use on Sixteenth
street October 1.
Non-Stoppers Arouse Eldridge.
The alloy of mercy with which JUS
tice has been tempered heretofore in
the cases of motorists arrested for
speeding over boulevard stop signs
is to be discontinued and fines made
severe unless there Is immediate ces-
lations of the new regulation, Mr..
Eldridge declared today.
Mr.. Eldridge, now thoroughly in
censed over the attitude of some mo.
torists, pointed out that the courts be-
gan enforcing the boulevard stop reg
uiation by assessing each violator a
nominal fine of one or two dollars.
Now the standard fine has jumped to
IS and tomorrow or the next day 1t
will be $40 If violations persist, and
the traffic director predicted the fine
would shoot to $25 If necessary.
II know the courts are cooperating
with the police in enforcement of this
regula ation," Mr.. Eldridge declared
THE judges did not wish to be too
severe at first and tried to educate
the people up to recognition of the
law, rather than imposing heavy pen
alties. Since there is a disposition
If some people to ignore the law, tha

they will continue to do so until the
