Scores Speed Of Police
Squad Cars in Streets

Editor, Times:
One would be surprised at the
danger citizens of Washington
are subject to every day by the
terrific rate of speed that the
police cars are driven through
the streets.
Why does this condition still
exist after the many accidents
that occur from this cause? OF
course, the driver of the car
that collides with the police car
is blamed for the collision even
though it is not his fault. He
is not given justice because in
court a policeman's word will be
needed rather than that Of an
ordinary man!
It is getting to such a point
now where a citizen is not safe
to drive through the streets Of
Washington. A READER

Democratic members Of the house
of representatives this session may
boast that they have had the serv-
ices of the best parliamentarianS in
their party.
Ex-senator Jospeh M. Cravens Of
Madison, who is and has been
Uncle Joe" to legislators and CORE
SpondentS for more than decade
and whose services in the Indiana
general assembly began in 1902, is
reSigning from his post as house
parliamentarian today to go home
and attend to personal business.
The 72-year- old veteran law
maker will be succeeded Monday by
Harvey Harmon of Princeton, for
mer state senator and public service
commissioner.
"Uncle Joe's" knowledge of the
parliamentary procedure saved
Speaker Walter Myers from much
embarrassment during the opening
weeks of the session when the
Speaker attempted to keep the
members from being entangled in
debates on obscure procedure.
The veteran who had announced
last year that he would neither
seek nor hold public office any
longer was prevailed upon by party
leaders to lend his counsel to the
new lawmakers.
He expects to return and watch
the assembly during its closing days,
he declared today.

The happy motorist who bangs
into the side Of your car, crumples
fender, waves away your demands
for damages with 'I amt got IT,"
and drives serenely on to bigger
and better collisions, may be riding
to a fall.
At any rate, that's the fate two
state representatives have designed
for him in a bill introduced in the
Indiana house Thursday, and now
under consideration in judiciary A..
Backed by motorists associations,
the bill would require the suSpen-
sion of drivers license and vehicle
license Of any driver against whom
a judgment is rendered as result Of
a collision or for, violation Of the
states motor laws. Further, it
provides that the licenses shall not
be reissued until the driver has
given the secretary of state satisfac-
tory proof of his ability to pay these
damages in subsequent accidents:
Injury or death of one person,
$4,000; injury or death Of two per-
sons. $4,000, and property damage,
$4,000.
Proof of this ability might, under
the bill take the form Of liability
insurance, approved by the insur-
ance commissioner, Or bond, salts

The bond or insurance would have
to be furnished for three years after

given an order for 100 carloads of
stone to be used in erecting build
ingS on the campus of Yale uni
ver5ity at New Haven, Conn. The
order amounts to about $3.50, 900.
Officials Of the company announce
that business on hand assures steady
operation for the remainder of 1881.
Recently an order for IS car loads
for use in building the First
Unitarian church at Chicago was
completed.
George Willis, superintendent Of
the Lewis Sheppard Company at
Charlottesville, announces several
substantial orders have been OBJ
tanned, and the plant is already
assured of steady work for the
greater part Of the year. Man
ufacture Of electric clocks is a new
activity Of the Umphrey Man
ufacturing Company.

An optimistic view Of conditions

months" according to McQuinn.
The Indiana Electric Corporation

to Frank E. Smith, president. He
predicted business this year would
be SO per cent greater than last.
During the week shipment made
as a test may be the forerunner of
a new business field center around
