BLEASE TO LEAVE
COMMITTEE PLACE
Defeat viii Result in D. C.
Group Vacancy When
Term Expires.

The apparent defeat of Senator Cole
Blease for the Democratic senatorial
nomination in South Carolina will re-
move picturesque figure from the
Senate and leave a vacancy on the Dis
trict of Columbia Committee after
March of next year. Senator Blease
will be member of the Senate until
the close of the coming short session
regardless of the outcome of yesterdays
run-of primary.
Senator Blease was in the Senate for
several years before he became active
in District affairs, but during the past
year he was in the limelight frequently,
particularly through his criticism Of Of
ficials OF the Police Department and
district attorneys Office.
Charged Crime Rampant Here.
During the special session last Octo-
Der the South Carolinian introduced a
resolution, which the Senate adopted,
instructing the District Committee to
investigate the District government,
with special reference to affairs of the
Police Department and district attor-
ney'S Office. About that time Senator
Blease was appointed to a vacancy on
the District Committee and was placed
on the police subcommittee.
Senator BleaSe made a series OF
speeches in the Senate, charging that
crime was rampant in Washington, and
from time to time he placed in the
Congressional Record numerous news
paper clippings dealing with various
police activities.
IndOrses Two Commissioners.
Later on, when Dr. Luther H. Reichel-
derfer and Gen. Herbert B. Crosby were
selected to be District Commissioners,
Senator Blease approved of the appoint
meEts.
A short while later Senator Blease
suggested that the Senate subcommittee
withhold action on his resolution of in
vestigation and said he favored turning
over what information he had to the
new Commissioners.
The career of Senator Blease in the
upper branch Of Congress also has been
marked by his attacks on the extending
of diplomatic immunity to representa-
tives of foreign governments in Wash
ilngton.
Senator Blease's place on the Senate
District Committee will not have to be
filled until the new Congress meets in
December, 1881.

Before Trial Board.

Elizabeth E. Campbell told the Police
Trial Board today she paid some $500
in graft money last year to Spotts-
wood F. Gravely, then a detective, at
tached to No. precinct. She said the
money was paid the policeman in ex-
change for promises not to raid the
apartments where she lived
Gravely was brought before the
trial board on charges of conduct pref
udical to the reputation of the Police
Department. Sharp exchanges between
opposing counsel, James A. O'Shea, for
the defense, and Assistant Corporation
Counsel T. F. Cameron, for the prose-
cution, marked the opening of the
hearing.
Witness Becomes HySterical.
The Campbell girl testified she had
paid Gravely bribes totaling approxi-
mately 5000 from August l, 1929, to
February %, 1880. A short recess was
taken when the witness became hys-
terical under cross-eXamination by Mr..
O'Shea.
Mr.. O'shea insisted that the Camp
bell woman give the specific dates on
which she claimed she had made pay
ments to Gravely. She said she could
not remember and Mr.. Cameron was
upheld in his contention that the exact
QateS might De oIulIJeO.
1t was while Capt. William G. Stott OF
third precinct was testifying that the
lawyers first directed verbal thrusts at
each other. Mr. O'Shea declared the
prosecution attorney was absurd, y
while Mr.. Cameron insisted he was
within his rights in asking the ques-
tions he had put to the witness. Mr..
Cameron was permitted to ask Capt.
Stott whether he had suggested the
transfer of Gravely from his precinct.
The witness testified in the negative.
Says Officer Struck Her.
The Campbell girl declared Gravely
followed her to her apartment, July IL,
and arrested her without provocation
on charges of disorderly conduct and
immoral solicitation. She said he
struck her several times before re-
moving her to the precinct. The de-
fense lawyer brought out that the wit
ness later was convicted in Police Court
of assaulting a policewoman and sem
fenced to 80 days in jail.
Preparations were made to examine
more than, a score of additional wit
nesses, including about dozen expected
to be questioned concerning Gravely's
character.

Construction work on the Million

ment will proceed with the road con-
struction on Columbia Island, in an

officials of the Phoenix Bridge Co.
OF Phoenixville, Pa, contractor for the
bascule draw span, said today the bal
uStrades of that part of the bridge
now are being put into place. These
are made of cast aluminium to tighten
the weight of the drawspan, which will
be drawn up like jack-knife when it is
necessary to permit navigation TO pass
to and from Georgetown.
Painting of the bascule drawspan
remains to be finished and a light gray
will be used to match the color of the
granite IN the composition of the bridge
proper
An asphalt covering will be placed
on the draw span, the concrete deck
being covered with coating of this
substance, with stone chips rolled in.
This, it is believed, will afford a good
footing for horses, which will be able to
come across the river more directly
from Fort Myer, Va, to the polo field
in Potomac Park.
Off1cials of the contractor said today
that both spans of the draw have been
operated daily for sometime with COM
plete success. Tests for acceptance of
the draw span by the Government will
take place, following completion of the
construction work. Workmen are begin
ming to remove the center fender In the
river, placed there to protect the bridge
during construction operations, and so
the center channel will soon be opened
again for navigation. There has been
no interruption to water-borne COM
merce, however, the contractor said, as
one side of the stream always has been
available for river craft.

NATIONAL STATISTICS
PROVE POLICY WISDOM
Acting Traffic Director Gives Credit
to Close Supervision for Drop
in Fatality Rate.

In its campaign to rid the streets
OF Washington of reckless and dam
gerous automobile drivers, the traffic
department disclosed today that in the
fiscal year ended June 80, last. it re-
voked, suspended, or refused to renew
the permits of 1889 drivers. Compared
with the record of the preceding year,
this was an increase of 246.
Maurice O. Eldridge, acting director
OF traffic, pointed out that the increase
Is due, not particularly to the adoption
OF any drastic measures governing per-
mt revocation or suspension, but to
the TACT that last year was the period
for general permit renewal.
Although 1889 permits were revoked,
suspended or refused, 792 were re-
Storeo, making net reduction of SAT
IN the licensed drivers at the close of
the year.
Drunken Driving Chief OfFense.
Driving while intoxicated led the list
OF offenses for which permits were
Withdrawn. Bad records, speeding and
reckless driving followed. A small num-
Der OF the revocations and suspensions
were due to transportation of liquor.
procuring permits by fraud and mental
and physical deficiencies of drivers
Those whose permits were revoked
because they procured them by fraud
were principally boys under age who
had sworn they were legally entitled
to drive machine. Permits are not
issued to any one under Is years of
age, and those between 16 and 18 must
have the written consent of their
parents or guardians, and even then
they are not permitted to drive COM
mercial vehicles.
The close supervision which the traf-
fic department Is keeping over the per-
init situation, Mr.. Eldridge believes, Is
responsible, in part, at least, to the inn
provement last year in the accident
fatality record of the District In the
IL months period, he said, there we're
68 traffic fatalities, a reduction of 20
under the preceding year, despite an in
crease in the number of vehicles in
operation.
Records support Policy.
Mr.. Eldridge explained that records
OF the national motor organizations
show that in all States where drivers
permits are required and close supervi-
sion is maintained over the permits the
fatality records are lower than in those
States which do not license drivers. The
records, he declared, indicate that there
are fewer fatalities in the Eastern
States than in the Southern and West
ern States even though there are more
vehicles in the Eastern States, due to
the control the traffic authorities have
over drivers.
