Law May BAR
Crash DRIVERS
FROM ROADS
Propose Statute to Force
Settlement of Claims
From Accidents.
RAP INSURANCE PLAN
HooSier Motor Club Thinks
Compulsory Liability
Is Weak.

a move 10 secure passage by the
next Indiana Legislature of a law
prohibiting any motorist who has
been in an accident for which he
was to blame, from driving a motor
vehicle again until he has satisfied
the claims rising from the accident,
is being considered by the Hoosier
Motor Club.
This, according to Todd Stops,
Hoosier Motor Club secretary, likely
will be the answer of the Hoosier
Motor Club to the agitation in some
parts of the country for enactment
in all States of compulsory automo-
bile liability insurance laws similar
to law now In effect in Massa-
chusettS.
The Massachusetts law requires
each owner of a motor car to carry
liability insurance so that if any
car is in an accident, the innocent
party in the accident is assured OF
compensation for damages to his
car and persons.
Law Fails to Function
The Hoosier Motor Club, however.
believes with the American Auto
mobile Association, with which it is
affiliated, that the Massachusetts
law has not worked out properly.
The law which the Hoosier Motor
Club is conSiderating figuring for
Indiana would work like this:
AS automobile collides with BIS.
A is to blame. BIS automobile is
damaged to the extent of $500.
But A is driving a $50 flivver and
has no property YES, I'm to
blame" he tells B. But you can't
collect damages from me. I
haven't any property but this
f1ivver and you can have it if you
want it."
With the proposed law in force
B would go into court and secure
a $500 judgement against A. Then
A would be prohibited from driving
a motor vehicle again until he
had paid the $500 judgement.
Under the present law B could
secure the judgement, but if A has
no property which could be at
tached the judgement never would
be paid. A could buy himself
another $50 fliVver in few
months and be in position again
to drive about damaging the
property and lives of other motor
lists.
1.-THE proposed law" according to
Stops, would make everybody re-
sponsible for their accidents or
keep them from driving"
The directors of the local club
have been considering the move
for such a law and probably will
appoint a legislative committee at
their next meeting to take further
steps, Stoop said
Some Fraudulent Claims
The American Automobile Asso-
citation has called a meeting of
motor club leaders to formulate it's
opposition to laws similar to the
Massachusetts, measure and to
other remedies for the growing toll
of auto accidents.
The Massachusetts law has served
as a gold mine" for ambulance
chasers in the legal and medical
professions, according to A. A. A.
statement announcing the meeting.
The statement points out that
While insurance companies have
some 10000 personal injury claims
arising from Massachusetts acci-
dents pending, only about 10000 in
juries have been reported to the
State Motor Vehicle Registrar. This
would clearly indicate that the
law also has provided
q springboard for fraudulent
claims" it declared.

MINORITY OPINION IN
MAYOR CASE FILED
Slack Has No Right to Job, Judge
Travis Holds.

Travis h0lQSs
Former Mayor John L. Drvall
never rightfully held that Office and
the city council was without power
to elect Mayor L. Ert Slack to the
place.
The late Samuel Lewis Shank was
rightfully mayor, until his death at
which time his city controller,
Joseph L. Hogue, succeeded to the
Office of acting mayor"
Such is the reasoning in the In
dianapolis payorality case of Hogue
against Slack and Ira M. Holmes,
also a one-tlme contender for the
mayors position, set forth in a
minority opinion filed Tuesday by
Judge Julius c. Travis of the Su-
prerne Court.
The court majority already has
decided the mayorship in favor of
Jack. The minority opinion only

interesting program on educational
matters yesterday at their luncheon
meeting. The program marked the
club s observance of Public Schools
week, which was not possible last
week, the regular meeting having
been changed to dinner party for
the ladies. County superintendent
H. G. Coe acted as chairman of the
day, with d. b. Roberts as the
speaker.
Education was discussed by Rob
crts as the nation S biggest business.
He declared that parents do not
know enough about the schools, and
that business men should also know
more about them. The importance
of the public taking an interest in
school expenditures was also stress
ed.
New methods of education are
coming into effect, and the adults
Of the community should do their
part to keep in touch with these
modern trends, Roberts declared.
Mr.. Coc expressed his emphatic APP
proval of Roberts suggestion that
all parents get acquainted with
their children s teachers.
Another number on the education
al program was given by Norma

Zenos May Lose
His Right Hand

John Zcnos of Meloland. a mem
bcr of the firm of ZenoS and Hard
en- of Holtvillc. accidentally shot
himself through the left hand early
this morning. He was brought to
the FL Centre hospital where the in
jury is being attended.
The discharge of the gun, shot
gun, entered the hand at the center
Of the palm and tore away two of
the fingers. Efforts are being made
by physicians to save the member
but it is believed that it will prob
ably be necessary to amputate the
hand at the wrist.
Complete detail of the accident
has not been learned. Zenos arose
early this morning and is believed
to have taken the gun and gone to
a field on his ranch near Meloland
where his dogs had freed an animal.
1t is thought that the gun was ac-
cidentally discharged as he was pre-
pairing to take shot at the animal.
Zenos was unconscious when
found by his wife and was rushed
to the hospital here. His condition
was reported as more comfortable
at l:30 o'clock this afternoon.
