CITIZENS In MOVE
AGAINST SPEEDING
Takoma Association Also Makes
Plea for Additional Fire
Alarm Boxes.

A report was presented by Preston
c. King, chairman of the fire and
police committee, relative to securing
additional fire alarm boxes and the
matter of speeding on Carroll avenue
at a. meeting of the Takoma Park Cit
liens Association last night. Funds
will not be available until July l..
after which time efforts will be made
to secure additional fire alarm boxes,
it was said.
The association was invited by the
Board of Education to send repre-
sentatives to attend a joint discus
sion of public school matters at a
meeting Friday, April 20, at the
Franklin School. The enactment of
a law providing n five-year building
program, Ii was pointed out last
night, has in a measure enhanced
the character and nature of school
improvements in various sections of
the city. The association will make
recommendations in harmony with
this law as far as practicable. Mrs.
Otto Veerhoff and Walter Trey will
represent the association at the meet
ing.
Reports were submitted by F. C.
Merritt and Walter Trey, representa-
tives to the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
The association approved the ac-
ton of the executive committee ap-
propriating S25 to the fund protect
ing the present Zoning law and the
employment of an expert in the court
proceedings.
DR.. Guy Clinton presided, with E.
w. Eden recording the minutes.

Br the Associated press-

BY the Associated Press
KOkOMO, Ind. April Elwood
Haynes, GS, who. in 1898. invented the
'horseleSS' carriage, is dead at his
home here. victim of influenza. Mr..
Haynes. who had never fully recov-
cred from a previous attack of the
disease. was i'll but a few days.
Mr.. Haynes suffered an attack of
influenza while on a trip through the
Southern States and, on the advice of
a physician, he returned home. Heart
disease, with which he long had been
afflicted, also contributed to his
death.
Few friends knew of the serious i'll
ness of the pioneer automobile manu-
facturer, who also gained interna-
tional reputation as n scientist and
metallurgist, and his death last night
came as a shock. His wife, son and
daughter were at his bedside.
Did Eight Miles an Hour
On the Fourth of July, 1894, Elwood
Haynes, then a young field superin,
tendent for a natural gas company
with headquarters at kokomo, Ind,
had queer buggy, without tongue
or shafts, towed out onto a country
road. He drove it triumphantly back
into kokomo, at the remarkable speed
of miles an hour, under power
generated by a gasoline engine. That.
it is claimed, was the first trip of a
Sasoline-driven vehicle in America
This horseless carriage, which soon
became a familiar sight in the streets
of kokomo, was the result of two
years of experiments and now is pre-
served in the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington. Mr.. Haynes said he
was ordered to "get that contraption
off the Streets" when he drove his
first automobile into Chicfago.
The automobile was the direct re-
suit of the fact that Mr.. Haynes had
large territory to cover in his du-
