Reckless Speeders of so Years Ago
As Bad as Today $, Association Hears

Speed maniacs behind the wheels
of high powered automobiles today
had counterparts so and 60 years ago
at the reins of a fast stepping trotter
or PAGER. according to John Clagett
Proctor, who last night outlined traffic
trihulations of 1865 to 1875 to mem
bers of the Association of Oldest In
habitants Of the District of Columbia
in the old Engine House, at Nine
teenth and III streets.
They had their speed regulations
then just as they have today and had
their crazy drivers then just as, they
have today" Mr.. Proctor said. The
man with fast trotter or PAGER be
fore the advent of the automobile was
just as reckless and needed just as
much watching as the careless and
inconsiderate automobile driver does
at the present time.
Florida avenue and other boule-
wards of those days We're strong temp
tations to such drivers"
The difference between then and
now, Mr.. Proctor pointed out, was
that only persons of means could
afford to keep and feed horse then.
while virtually any one today has an

automobile that eats gasoline only
while it runs.
Mr. Proctor said that If as many
had horses in those days as have
automobiles today. traffic conditions
might even have been worse.
Mr.. Proctor delved into the history
of the old second precinct, the station
of which was then located at 2042
Georgia avenue, interfering interest
ing anecdotes of the personnel and
activities of the old precinct. where

FANS Smith, for many Years provost
of the University Of PENNSYLVANIA
DIR. Smith is known 6 the dean Of
historical chemists and has made ex
haustive inquiry into Priestley's ca
reer.
The pilgrima to Northumberla nd
will serve TO remind those who think
of Priestley as belonging exclusively
to England that he spent his la st dec
ade-1794 to 1S04-in America He
did some of his most important scien
tiflc work in this country. DR.. Smith
points out. This included the discoE-
IL
planned the nature of flame. He also
was the inventor of soda water.
lrieStley Was Preacher.
In the light of these scientific
achievements" DIR. Smith said, 1T
may be a surprise to many TO learn
that PrieStley WAS primarily not
chemist at all. but teacher, preacher
and - political agitator. The truth is
that Priestley's attention was only
turned to che mislry when he was in
the thirties by Matthew Turner. who
lectured on this subject in Warning
ton Academy. in which priestley
labored as teacher
Priestley's views on theology were
bitterly denounced in England. and in
1871 the houses of worship in which
he was wont to officiate and his own
home, together with his literary treas
ures and scientific apparatus were de
stroyed. Three years later Priestley
came to America. arriving in New
York June 4. 1874. He was officially
welcomed by Gov. Clinton and other
prominent persons, and left for Phila-
delphia two weeks later.

DETROIT, November 27.-Federal
prohibition agents, seeking to stem
the flow of liquor across the border
into Detroit, are swapping lead with
rum runners and are anticipating
livelier skirmishes as colder weather
takes pleasure craft from the river.
rum runners on the river, Col. A. ].
Hanlon, in charge of the border
patrol, said today:
"Some of the shooting by our men
has been in the nature of signals to
their comrades; sometimes they have
shot across the bow Of a rum runner
to bring him to a stop. Sometimes
they have shot in self-defense. We
have the right to shoot only in self
defense, but also to enforce the law"
Members of the border patrol force,
he said, are directed to identify them
selves as Federal agents before shoot
ing. This procedure, he said. usually
has brought vicious taunts from the
rum runners.
On three occasions during the last
week shots have been exchanged be.
tween the patrol and suspected rum
runners. In one instance, Col. Han
lon said. the agents withdrew under
fire from shore without retaliating
because Of the danger of hitting Wom-
en- and children near the bootleggers.
Charges that agents were firing In
discriminatory early last Summer
brought protests from citizens on the
river in pleasure craft. With these
craft off the river, Col. Hanlon pointed
out, there will be few If any mis-
takes in shooting by the Federal Of
f1cerS.

AMERICANS LOSE
|NFRENCH COURTS
Two Denied Right to Evict
Tenants Despite Pact Ban
ming Discrimination.

PARIS, November 27.-Two recent
decisions of French courts discrim-
mating against American property
owners in France contravene Amerl-
can treaty rights, in the opinion of
American representatives here.
BY the consular convention of 1853,
France and the United States agreed
not to discriminate in the lAatter of
property between their own nationals
and nationals of the other.
Ihe French Parliament recently
adopted a law giving French proprie-
tors the right to evict tenants when
they desire themselves to inhabk a
house or fiat which they own, but re-
fusing this right to foreigners. Under
this law a foreigner in France, who
buys house cannot put the tenant
out under any circumstances until the
tenant Is willing to go. and cannot
increase the present rent.
According to the American view
point, this law contravenes the treaty
and does not apply to Americans.
Nevertheless, in two cases, the French
courts have held the treaty inapplica-
BILE and rejected the pleas of Ameri-
can owners for authority to occupy
their houses.
The tenants lawyers in both cases
made violent anti-American speeches.
Even the courts decisions mention
FRANCES postwar plight and the fact
that the franc has deprecated,
whereas the dollar is at par-consid
erations which obviously have moth
ing to do with law.
The American State Department
notified the French government some
- i%
cisions contravening the treaty. The
embassy here has Informed Washing
on of the recent decisions.
1t is said, however, that nothing can
be done to protect American rights
until the cases have been appealed
and a decision has been reached by
he highest French courts. At the
present rate Of procedure this may
take years.
