EVANSTON. ILL.,, March o.
What Joseph F. Oelrich told the
police last night was plenty.
Two men had robbed him of a
$500 ring. They fled in a motor
car and he pursued in his. He
was fast overhauling them when
two motor cycle officers overhaul
ed him. BY the time he had ex-
planned the robbers were gone.
Oelrich was rather wrought up
about the way in which the police
had spoiled things. To mollify
him the officers magnanimously
decided not to press a speeding
charge.

Gas NOT CAUSE
Of FATALITY

The clouds of chlorine gas let
loose in the Tolman Laundry, when
a safety valve broke last January,
were not powerful enough to have
caused the death OF Ophe1ia Clayton,
colOred employee OF the laundry, Dep
uty Commissioner r. j, Hoage, of
the District of Columbia Workmen's
Compensation Commission, ruled to-
day.
HoaSe turned down a claim for
compensation entered by relatives
of the dead woman. In arriving at
his decision, Hoage disagreed With
verdict of a coroI@"s jury which
held that the woman's death was
directly attributable to the gas
fumes.
The woman was working on the
fourth floor Of the laundry when
the fumes began to spread through
the building, driving more than
two score employees to the street
She made her way to the roof and
went to her home.N Three weeks
later she died.
Hoage ruled that the woman's
death was the result OF natural
causes.
Gas experts advised Hoage that
the chlorine fumes let loose in the
laundry were of a mild density and
were not fatal unless person was
exposed for long time.
The gas was used by the Chemical
Warfare Service during the war.

PLAN Of BRIDGE
APPROVED

Engineer of Bridges c. r.. Whyte
today proved a recommendation of
the bureau of public roads that the
two Virginia spans of the Highway
Bridge re removed TO facilitate the
work on MI. Vernon Memorial
Highway. and forwarded II to En-.
gineer Commissioner William r.
Ladue.
The roads bureau recently made
survey of the Virgin, end of the
bridge and suggested that the har-
Dor line - the river be moved out
to the end OF the second span on the
Virginia side and a back fill made
to take care of the b ulevard.
A iii would replace the present
two spans and ramps from the
boulevard to the level of the bridge
would be installed. Through traffic
on the boulevard would be taken
care of by an underpass according
to Whyte's suggestion.
II approved by the Commission
ers the matter must he taken up
with the War Department, as a
change is the harbor line will be
involved.
Removal Of the two spans will
not only tend to improve the
beauty of the boulevard but in the
long run will prove to be an
economy, Whyte said today.

Drivers To Be Given
i Fatigue Test On

Seven men, selected from the
thousands in the city of Washing

Sunday over a mile of the rough.
est stretches of Lincoln Road.
Northeast, just off Rhode Island
Avenue in an effort to learn what
part fatigue Is likely to play in
automobile accidents.
The tests will be conducted by
Prof. s. o. Moss. of George Wash
ington University. who holds to
the theory that many automobile
crashes are the direct result OF
fatigue on the part of one or
more drivers. The tests viii con.
tinue for four hours.
At the end of the four-hour
period, the seven men will be
subjected to blood counts, their
muscular and mental reactions to
danger signals and the elapsed
time before they react to these
signals and other scientific tests.
The test also will be in the nature
of an equipment test, the cars
being run continuously for four
hours over a very rough stretch

SEEKING
RAISE

The Washington Railway
.and Electric Company will not
join the Capital Traction Com
pany in any application for an.
increase in street railway
fares.
This was definitely ascertained
yesterday from William f. Ham,
president of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company who
stated that his company will not even
consider any such application, but
will wait until the other traction COM
pany seeks additional revenues.
! In many quarters it is assumed
that an increase could not be
granted one company without fore
Ing the other to take 1t as well.
Some experts of the commission say.
that such Is not the case, however,
and point to other cities with com
peting lines which have different
rates of fare.
From the study being made of the
traction situation by Gen. Mason
IA. Patrick, chairman of the COM
mission and Harlefgh H. Hartman
~ - pS1rSSu tn6 Two COMMISSIONERS
will want to know a number of
things about the company, not
shown on paper, before they con-
slider any application to boost fares.
One question that must be
answered will be whether or not the
company put into effect all possible
economies. Another question win
be whether rerouting and change
in car schedules would effect a saw
