Pendleton, Oregon, Dec. 2l.-lR-
The turning Of the tide in the crim-
inal career Of William Edward
Hickman began to take. effect today
on the kidnaper Of little Marian
Parker.
As he fought in his cell for peace
Of mind by audibly reiterating again
and again that he abducted but did
not murder the 12-year-oh daugh-
ter Of Perry NJ. Parker, Los Angeles
bank official, he. lost the appear
anoe cf bravalo which had supports
ed him through his capture near
here Thursday and the ensuing or
deal in which he confessed his par
ticipation in one Of the most re-
markable crimes in the history Of
the west.
Dark Eyes Lose Lustre
The torture Of bearing the role
of an evil genius whose deeds have
all but cast him beyond the realm
Of sympathy began TO show when
his dark eyes lost their lustre. He
issued q statement warning the
young men Of America to ssgo
straight" He whined as he as-
sured himself aloud that he did not
kill the girl he kidnapped. He
tried to assure himself that he Was
"decent" that he did not drink or
dissipate-that he did not associate
with women.
The change IN his demeanor came
after he had braved the eyes of all

had gathered 1t the jail yesterday
in hope of seeing him were allowed
to file past his cell and peer be-
tween the bars. More questions shot
at him by newspaper men only &C.
cented his desire to talk-to explain
but he said nothing that would
further add to the efforts to com-
pletely solve the crime Of which ha
is accused.
Upon the head Of Andrew Cram
er, his alleged accomplice, Hickman
continued to lay the responsibility
for the murder and mutilation Of
the little 12-year-old girl. That il
the story he told upon his capture,
and that is the story he told again
when informed that the man he said
was Cramer had been confined in

AUTO LIABILITY
| INSURANCE URGED
Commerce Body Asks Com
!, puIsory Law Covering In
T juries Incurred in Traffic.

Enactment of a compulsory automo-
bic liability insurance law for the DIS
trict of Columbia, designed for the
benefit of persons injured in trafflc
accidents. together with a number of
other recommendations affecting traf-
fic conditions herc, was urged by the
committee of the Washington Cham'
her of Commerce on police and nre
protection and public safety at
meeting yesterday afternoon in the
Offices of the chamber in the Homer
Building.
The automobile insurance proposal,
which has been under consideration
by various groups here for a number
of years, was unanimously approved
and will be submitted to the board
of directors for further action.
Vigorous Discussion Noted.
The resolution was adopted after
a vigorous discussion of what was de-
Clared the need of insurance for the
protection of thousands of persons in
iured in traffic mishaps here annually
who now often are unable to collect
damages, even in cases where the
liability of a driver is legally proved.
The motion approving the proposal
Was made by Charles w. Darr, chair
man of the committee, and among
those who urged its adoption were
Herbert l.. Davis, auditor of the Su-
preme Court of the District, and Ed
ward c. Finney. Assistant Secretary
OF the Department of the Interior.
The committee also went on record
favoring the immediate installation of
automatic traffic control lights at all
intersections in the CongeSted down
town section of the city and for the ef-
feCtive control of the movements OF
pedestrians, as we'll as vehicles at
these intersections. Urging that
pedestrians who fail to obey the traf-
fic light signals be arrested and prose
cuted, members of the committee de-
clared that pedestrians could not be
effectively controlled until the traffic
lights were installed.
Brakes and Lights Discussed.
The committee proposed that regu.
1ation and strict inspections be made
OF the brakes and lights of automobiles
and that definite inspection depots be
established in various points over the
city.
With a view to promoting the estab-
lShment of uniform traffic regula-
latioi.; throughout the country. the
committee adopted a resolution re-
Questing the District Commissioners
to call a national conference here of
traffic directors of all the larger cities
of the United States to draft uni
form program of traffic regulations.
The recommendations probably will
be submitted to the chamber directors
at their meeting next Tuesday eve
ming.
