According to the statistics obtain

safety Sally" is correct when she
attributes SIZE of fatal accidents to
excessive speed, driving on the
wrong side of the road and failure
to grant the right of way. In 1881
to date SO people have met unneces-
sary and untimely deaths. OF this
number. ten were killed in Whining
ton and AS in rural Delaware. 25
were passengers and 33 pedestrians.
This is one more death than occur
red during the corresponding period
of 1880. Speed has long been one of
the major causes of auto accidents.
Some drivers contend that because
of superior equipment and special
ability they can greatly exceed the
speed limit with safety. But if so,
we can readily realize what win hap
pen when the mediocre driver at
tempts to follow in car with made
quate brakes and other poor equip
ment.

first used by Sir Walter Raleigh
when he spread his cloak in the mud
for Queen Elizabeth. Little did he
realize that lie was coming a phrase

ter the cause of 50 many sad acci-
dents.
Driving on the wrong side of the
road is not only a violation of the
law but it will also tend to confuse
and irritate approaching drivers.
The most difficult traffic problems
occur at street intersections. At an.
ordinary four way intersection where
no turns are prohibited vehicles may
make 16 diffeent directional move
ments. Two vehicles approaching an
intersection from different direc-
tions may attempt any two Of these
Some of them such as
two right turns may be carried out
at the same time without interfer-

at right angles, involve conflicts if
they are attempted simultaneously
In former days when Vehicular speed
was slower and the volume of traf-
iic much less, the right of way at
street intersections was commonly
in simple terms to the
effect that the vehicle from the right
has the right of way. While this still
holds, as general rule it is a safer
procedure to enter intersections
cautiously even when you have the

Texas, Rests in Hospital
Pending Hearings.
BY the Associated Press.


Bishop James Cannon, jr., was in
Sibley Hospital here today on the eve
of hearings to be conducted by his
church into charges against him, but
his family said he would leave the hos
pital tomorrow to defend himself.
The Southern Methodist dry leader
recently returned from Texas, where he
recuperated from an illness which had
confined him to bed for two months.
His recovery, members of the family
said, was not complete. The present
trip to the hospital was to rest from the
long journey from Texas.
Tomorrow IL elders of the church
will sit as an investigating body to hear
charges filed against the bishop by four
ministers. If the charges are found to
have weight, Cannon will be suspended
from active duty until 1884, when the
General Conference of the church will
bring him to trial
The nature of the charges, filed last
September by DR.. F. j. FTettyman of
Baltimore, Dr. I. P. Martin of Abing
don, Va, and Drs. Costen j. Harrell and
j. T. MaStin of Richmond, has never
been disclosed.
Word was given out at Bishop Can
mons Office that unless he took def
mite turn for the worse during the day,
or unless his physicians forbade him,
he would appear at Mount Vernon Place
