MALONE SUFFERS
MENTAL COLLAPSE
AFTER DECISION
Arrested in Springfield, Illinois
and Taken Into
Custody.
Unbecoming Conduct
Malone Injuries Himself When
Jumping Through Window
a Month Ago.

st. Louis, Mo-, May. (By The AS
sociated Negro Press). Aaron Ma
lone had another mental collapse i'm
mediately following the settlement
of his receivership suit last week,
and was arrested in Springfield, Illi-
nois, where he was taken into GUS
tody because of his unbecoming con-
duct.
Said Going Crazy.
When arrested Malone said he was
being driven crazy since his marital
entanglements. Such utterance, ac-
cording to persons who heard Ma
lone, does not support the rumor
that he was not satisfied with the
terms of the receivership suit settle
ment.
Paid Attorneys $4,000.
1t was authoritatively learned that
while Malone contended for half
interest in the million-dollar Poro
College, the money involved in the
entire settlement did not exceed
$4,000. Malone accepted as his
part $4,000 and his attorneys were
paid $4,000, according to informa-
tion given by one of Mrs. Malone's
attorneys.
Malone was brought back to st.
Louis by friends who found him in
the Sangamon County Jail. During
the morning of last Thursday he had
entered the home of a former st.
Louis friend who was absent, and
the friends wife, who did not know
Malone, called the police.
In Springfield, Malone declared hi
did not know how he got there, but
his st. Louis attorney, Edward w.
Foristel, said that Malone had an
nounced his intention of going to
Springfield to live with friend there
for an indefinite period.
Leaped Through Window.
A month ago, Malone injured him
self by leaping through first-1oor
window at 1912 Cook Avenue, where
he was staying with friend, R. C.
Jackson, who explained Malone had
been brooding over his domestic
troubles. At City Hospital No. 2,
where he was treated for cuts from
window glass, physicians said he was
in "an extremely nervous state" and
recommended a rest.
1t is understood he will have to
undergo a thorough examination by
doctors.

RIGHT OF way ON
HIGHWAY FIXED IN
new MOTOR CODE
Question of Rights at Crossings,
Turns, Settled-Pedestrians
Recognized in Law.
Give Pedestrians Right
Prohibits Use of Sirens on Other
Than Fire, Police Cars or
Ambulances.

The question as to the right OF
way, which has led to many disputes,
accidents and law suits, is clearly
defined in the new Minnesota high
way traffic code. The provisions in
the new law are in accord with court
decisions and results of practical ex-
perience. If observed by motorists
in st. Paul and Minneapolis and else
where, it should greatly reduce the
number of accidents resulting from
arguments over the right of way.
Here are the provisions of the new
law on this question:
Provisions.
When two vehicles approach
an intersection at about the
same time, the vehicle on the
right shall have the right of
way, but a vehicle travelling at
an unlawful speed shall forfeit
any right it may otherwise have.
This section applies to both mo-
tor vehicles and street cars.
The driver of a vehicle or
street car approaching but not
having entered an intersection,
shall yield the right of way to
a vehicle or street car within
the intersection making a left
turn across the path of travel of
the first mentioned vehicle or
street car, provided the driver
of the vehicle has given a plain
signal of his intention of turn
ing.
Drivers of all vehicles shall
yield the right of way to pedes-
trians at regular crossings in
the business and residence por-
tions of any municipality. Pc
destrians shall yield the right of
way at other places in the busi-
ness or residence sections to
vehicles on the street or high
way.
Vehicles coming out of alleys
or private roads or driveways
shall yield the right of way to
vehicles on the street or high
way. If the view is obstructed,
they must stop before crossing
the sidewalk or entering the
highway.
Ambulances and police and
fire vehicles shall have the right
of way over all other vehicles,
but this does not relieve the
driver of the ambulance or po-
lice or fire vehicle from the
duty to drive with due regard to
the safety of all persons upon
the highway.
When a fire or police vehicle
or ambulance approaches and
gives an audible signal by means
of bell, siren or exhaust whis-
tie, drivers of other vehicles
must go as close to the right
hand curb as possible, clear of
any intersection, and remain
there until the ambulance or
police or fire vehicle has passed,
unless otherwise directed by the
police. Use of sirens on other
thin fire and police cars and am
balances is prohibited.
1t is also made unlawful to
follow within 500 feet of any
fire apparatus responding to an
alarm, or to drive into or park
within the block where such fire
apparatus has stopped, unless
permitted by a police or fire de-
partment officer.

DAY TO BE WET IN IRELAND.
Proposed New Liquor Law Would
Take It From Dry Category.

DUBLIN, March IL R).-St. Pat
rick's day.. which in the past always
has been dry" is going to- be wet
under the proposed new liquor law
But it probably will be March II, 1928
before enthusiastic Irishmen will be
able to take advantage Of the new
arrangement.
The government has yielded on
some matters of detail in the liquor
law, but it remains fixed in it's deter.
mination to secure a reduction in the
number of drink shops and also a re-
duction in the hours of sale. The Free
State has one drink shop for every 23O
persons, as against Scotland's one for
every $50, and the hours of sale are
IL day, as against eight in Great
Britain.
1t is calculated that under the new
legislation 1000 Of the $4,000 drink
shops in the Free State will disappear
within the next 10 years. They are
mostly small places and the average
compensation to be paid for their
closing Is estimated at $1,000 per
house. A Judge will decide what
houses are superfluous and fix the
compensation. The state will immedi-
ately furnish the money and recoup
itself within 20 years by increasing
the license fees on the places allowed
to remain open.
The temperance party is dissatisfied
that the government will continue to
permit Sunday drinking for bona fide
travellers who have Travelled 10 miles,
and that it has agreed to put st. Pat
rick's day. which used to be dry, in
the category of Sundays.
