San Diego Opens Campaign
to Make Crash Drivers
Appear in Court.

One way to reduce the traff1c death
toll II per cent in year. even II the
endangered population on which the
percentage Is based increases faster
than automobiles kill 1t, Is to make
every motor collision the public's busi-
ness. At least that Is the experience OF
the city Of San Diego under a new pol
icy of police procedure dictated by Chlei
Joseph v. Doran.
Automobile drivers may no longer In
dulge their recklesSnesS in private COL
lisions. settle the bills of damages
among themselves or call in their un-
derwriters and go blithely on their own
ways. Policemen require that they &c
into Justice court instead and settle an
account with society in general. 1t
makes no difference whether any one
is injured or whether any person in
volved in a crash brings complaint
against another. one or more or all
involved In the smash must appear In
court and explain the circumstances OF
the display of recklessness to judge
There Is no such thing as an un-
avoidable accident" decreed Chief Do
ran in instituting his test cure for reck..
less driving. and the courts have ruled
fairly close to his decree.
Campaign Is Urged.
"The old rule that II no one was hurt
and no one complained 1t was no affair
for the police no longer applies in traf-
fic accidents" said Chief Doran. Pub
lie safety demands that we rid the
streets and highways of reckless drivers.
All drivers on public thoroughfares are
held accountable to the public for the
manner of their driving. We have no
more private affairs on the public
streets"
A primary reason for institution OF
drastic dealing with crash drivers in
San Diego was appearance OF the citys
name at the head Of the list for traffic
deaths In proportion to population dur
ing the year of 1925. Something had
to be done. and by July Of that year
Chief Doran had devised his system OF
doing 1t to the drivers.
BY the end of 1927 traffic deaths were
cut II per cent rom 1925 and two
months OF 1923 have shown that there
was no Joker In the comparative year.
end figures but that the new policy
continues its improving effect. Since
the campaign against recklessness has
been largely an educational one, such
continuance of improvement is regarded
rightfully anticipated. Aside from

haling crash drivers into court, the
campaign has included radio broadcast
ing one night each week and frequent
lectures at club meetings or other pub
lie gatherings, speakers cOunSeltng cau-
ton on the streets. calling upon parents
to keep their children from danger and
warning motorists to be careful or face
the Judge.
About an Average.
AS to figures with and without the
new policy of arrests, 1926 produced
$40 traffic accidents with injuries to
LIS persons and Al fatalities, and the
1927 record was 825 accidents with in
juries to 1,019 persons and "a fatalities.
In the meantime population had in
creased about 10000 and 5,914 more
automobiles we're registered for San
Diego. The 1927 death toll in percent
age to 1927 population was no worse
than the average American city Suf-
fered in ratio to population.
That Chief Doran's new policy strikes
true to cause Is attested in report OF
Frank G.. Shook, chief of the California
State motor vehicle division. after a
statistical survey just completed. that
"at least w per cent Oh Ctlc CdlIIOTIlid
traffic accidents could have been pre-
vented with exercise of reasonable cau-
tion on the part OF motorists"
In San Diego the police analysis OF
traffic accidents lends new support to
the old adage that familiarity breeds
contempt. only four of the crash driv-
ers in 825 accidents being recorded as
from out of the State. although many
hundreds of tourist cars were in the
city during the year. Home folks and
1O2 drivers from elsewhere in Califor-
MIA, who should know State If not San
Diego regulations. were responsible for
the rest of the smashes.
Strangers in the city evidently drive
more carefully. but they also are the
objects of compassion under Chief Do
rams arresting policy through solicit
tation by the San Diego-California
Club, which is continually inviting vis-
itors and new residents to the city.
That they may be forewarned and ad-
vised OF traffic regulations peculiar to
San Diego. guests of the club are pre-
sented with printed cards to fasten to
the steering wheels OF their cars, the
printed matter listing traffic rule spe-
cialtieS and also informing any inquisi-
tive policeman that the driver Is guest
in the city.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, March 10.-Automo-
bile casualties in Baltimore last year,
including 1869 killed and 5,278 injured
sufficiently to require disqualification,
amounted to 10 per cent OF the total
number of Americans killed in the
World War. This statement was made
by II. d. Callum at the annual meet
ing OF the public safety council.
He said the two essentials, IL these
casualties are to be reduced, are the
creation Of an increased sense of in
dividual responsibility rather than rules
and regulations. and punishment of all
cases of willful or negligent violations
Of safety rules.
These changes can be brought about
best by educational work, particularly
In the schools, Mr.. Callum explained.
He pointed to the evil effect on the
young of examples of carelessness by
adults in regard to matters of vital
Importance. and criticized the publ!c's
indignation toward a bandit who steals
few dollars as compared with its
lack of concern when a drunken
driver takes life.

This situation holds true In spite

Of this increase is due to the operations

At the same time. however. other lead
