Later in the week, after officers

EIdridge Urges Employers to
Use More Care in Hiring
Their Drivers

Rogue ting Washington mer-
chants and business men to in
vestigate the character and ability
of the drivers of trucks and de-
livery wagons, Traffic Director M.
o. Eldridge today intimated that
there were many employees of
local business houses who were OPP
Grating automobiles contrary to
the traffic regulations.
"Only few days ago." declared
Eldridge, "it was drawn to my
attention that the driver of a fully
loaded, five-ton coal truck, when
finally stopped by policeman for
reckless driving, was found to
have no permit.
Breaking Law for Years
THE man was, cutting corners
at such high rate Of speed that
nearly ton Of his cargo was
thrown into the street ut different
intersections.
AT Police Court, where the men
was convicted and sent. to Jail for
reckless driving and driving with
cut a permit continued the di-
rector, "he testified that he had
been driving large coal trucks
around the streets of Washington
for two years and that his en-
ployer appeared to be uninterested
in whether he was abiding by the
regulations
This situation revives Judge Gus
A. Schuldts opinion delivered in
Police Court over year ago that
employees should not be hired until
their records had been searched.
Blame On Employers
Judge Schuldt declared that
oftentimes the employer of law
breaking driver should be consid-
cred as much in the fault as the
employee.
Director Eldridge said that the
cooperation of all merchants and
business men was imperative in
the hiring of trustworthy drivers
for delivery wagons, as infinite
more danger arose from a reck-
| lessly driven truck than from the
ordinary automobile.

Engineer Commissioner Sees
Population Jump to Mil
lion for City

The use of subways to care
adequately for the immense volume
of traffic which will result from
a population of 100000 persons
here in the near future was fore
cast for Washington today by
Commissioner j. Franklin Bell.
Based On Report
Commissioner Bell made his pre-
diction in connection with his COM
ment on the report of Mcclellan
and Junkersfeld, transportation ex-
perts, which states the Transports
ton problems of the Capital in
such way as to suggest solutions.
THE time will come when it will
be necessary to build subways,
said the Commissioner. 1T will
be the most effective means OF IA
cilitating the movement of traffic
that will follow the constant in
crease in the population OF Wash
ington. Subways. I believe. would
be much more desirable for this
city than elevated railways"
win Not Mar Beauty
Colonel Bell indicated that SUBJ
ways would in nowise mar the
beauty of Washington which would
be reduced by the erection Of ele-
waited railway tracks.
1T would be necessary only to
dig deep enough in order merely
to cover the cars with a layer of
cement strong enough to support
street traffic." Commissioner Bell
declared.
"A very deep excavation would
not be necessary because of Wash
ington's comparatively level area. -
said the commissioner.
Washington is much nearer to
a population of 1,000,0 900 persons
than most Of US realize" Colonel
Bell declared. Although the popu-
lation may not reach the million
mark within the corporate limits
of the city for some time, the city
is growing at such a rapid rate
that we must soon make definite
provisions for this number within
the city limits. -

Transformation of the once un-
slightly river flats on the south side
of the Anacostia River into a beau
tiful parkway. and the establishment
there of one of the city's greatest
recreation parks is rapidly taking
place. During the next fiscal year
there will be built in the part east
of the Eleventh Street Bridge the
buildings and structures making 1t
one of the finest of recreation parks
in the city.
section, known as section d, and
running from the Eleventh Street
Bridge to the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge, are being formulated in the
office of Lieut.. Col. Clarence O. Sher-
rill. director of the office of public
buildings and parks of the National
Capital. When the appropriations
become available on July /, then the
work of erecting the buildings, the
placing of equipment and the laying
of roads will be started. However,
while the funds which become avail
able on July l, next, will not be
sufficient to complete the project,
nevertheless they will permit the de-
velopment of large portion of it,
including an attractive field house.
Future Lake Planned.
This section d is the one on
which development is being focused
at this time. Section c, between
Boiling Field and the Eleventh Street
Bridge, is being used by other Gov
ernment agencies for various purposes
and section + is still under the office
of Maj. James A. O'Connor, L. S. Army
Engineer Corps officer in charge of
this Engineer district, but is about
ready to be turned over to Col Sher-
rill. Section Z runs from the Penn
sylvania Avenue Bridge to the rail-
road bridge. Section L, which runs
from the railroad bridge to Bennings
Bridge, is still receiving attention
from Maj. O'Connor's office, and it is
in this section where Kingman Lake
is located.
There will be a driveway around the
entire section, in the center of which
will be the recreation area. Cinders
now are being dumped on the road
right of way TO raise the level, and
as soon as these are packed, construc-
ton on the road proper will begin.
One of the features of this park is
that all of the houses which may be
constructed there will face the park
way, and there will be no unsightly
rear yards to mar the beauty, which
will be attractively treated by the
Governments landscape architects.
There will be attractive trees of vari-
Gus species, and pergolas around many
of the recreation points. There will
be three roadways into the park. one
at Naylor road, one at Thirteenth
street and one at Sixteenth street.

Prof. Hudson next took up outlawry
Of war and called attention to the
protocol of Geneva of October > 1924,
which, he said, represented a sincere
attempt by the members of the
League of Nations Ito make some
progress toward the outlawry of war,
an ideal near to Americans hearts
He continued:
Seventeen nations signed the proto-
col providing for a larger measure of
compulsory peaceful settlement than
was ever attempted by so many ma
tionS. But 1t is now clear that this
protocol will not come into effect in
its present form. The present temper
of the world, the lessons burned into
our minds by the war, will not allow
this question to be dropped however
The negotiations will go on, and we
deem it essential that the United
States have some part in them.
We venture to express the hope
that such negotiations will not be left
to proceed without the participation
of our Government, and that you may
find some way Of collaborating with
the various members of the league
and of joining in a suitable treaty
IOr the OuIlaWry OF war which Will
be acceptable to all the peoples of the
world. The discussions in England
have shown that the United States is
inevitably a factor in any attempt to
rid the world of war, and we beg you
to take cognizance of this fact before
and not after another attempt is
launched"
Presents Program.
In conclusion Prof. Hudson said
"Mr. Secretary, we have the honor
to present to you this immediate pro-
gram of our association, and to assure
you of our full support in any efforts
you may make to find a way for the
United States to cooperate in the or
ganiZation of the world for peace on
terms consistent with our Constitu-
ton and consonant with the dignity
and honor, the moral responsibility
