DENYING the existence Of the ''un-
avoidable accident" committee OF
Central High School automotive class
students has evolved a set of traffic
rules for the District which are based
on the assumption that responsibility
| for traffic safety rests with the autoist.
The safety traffic rules advanced
by the committee, composed OF Hayes
jackson, chairman; Kim Vessels,
Thomas Herbert and J. P. Wencheu
| follow:
Il. Never blow horn for pedestrians
to get out of your way at any time or
place;
"2 Never drive into an intersection
at a speed which makes it impossible
to bring your car to full stop before
the front wheels cross the center of the
intersection;
"3. When blinded by headlights, ap-
ply your brakes and come to full
stop;
a. When visibility is impaired by
any cause. such as fog, storm or re-
fiection of lights on wet streets, drive
at a safe speed
IS. Always drive cautiously on slip
perry streets, especially at intersections,
and
IS. Use caution in backing away
from curb never back your car faster
! than would allow a pedestrian who
may have stepped behind your car,
ample time to get out of the way"
Would Outlaw Excuses.

quantity Of grain was spilled.
Kirkoff, according to the states at

out the end-gate. The officials learn
ed that only small amount Of grain
was lost as q result Of the act.
While at Parshall, the states at

WOMAN SLAIN With
RED-HANDLED KNIFE
Believe Mother Of Five Children
Was Victim Of Cangsters
or Attackers

New York, Oct. 11-(R)eThe ride
murder Of a housewife, slain raysteri-
ously with a red-handled dagger
puzzled Brooklyn authorities Tues
day.
Mrs. Gemsna Pignataro, 36-year-
old mother of five children was kill
ed Monday night some time after
she set out to care for neighbor's
sick child.
Her body was found at 10 p. m.
In an automobile that had smashed
against a tree in Dyker Heights. AT
her feet lay the knife that severed
her jugular vein.
Detectives, moving swiftly, ques-
toned her husband and two other
men, one Of them owner Of the
wrecked car. All denied knowledge
Of the killing. Delving into the wom-
ans history, the police obtained in
formation that led them to suspect
gangsters. They considered other
theories, too; one was she might
have been killed by some one who
sought to attack her.
The detectives said she once had
q brother, Louis Ribs, who was
right-hand man for the late Frankie
Yale, Brooklyn gang magnifico and
one-time ally Of AL Capone. This
brother was murdered 10 years ago
In New Jersey. The dead woman'a
husband, Fiori, was wounded In 1914
by an unidentified foe. He recovered.
Scratched hands indicated Mrs.
Pignataro struggled fiercely against
death. Police believe that in the
struggle, the killers lost control Of
the car, which hit q tree. Two men
were seen to flee from it after the
crash.

REED RAPS HOOVER
POLICY IN SPEECH
AT DIES MONIES, IA.
Accuses President Of Scheme
to Reduce Price of U. S.
Farm Products
BRANDS HIM AS 'ExPLOlTER'
Departs From Prepared Address
to Charge Antitrust Law
Is Ignored

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. ll.-P)-
Speaking from the same speakers
platform upon which President Hoo
yer recently started his campaign.
James A. Reed Of Missouri attacked
the administration Monday night in
q political speech billed as a reply to
Hoover's opening address.
He charged that disregard of the
Sherman antitrust law by Republic
can administrations, the Smoot- Haw-
ley tariff, and what he described as
President Hoovers scheme to reduce
the price of American farm products"
were responsible for present economic
conditions.
The former Democratic senator
branded the president as an exploiter
of foreign enterprises whose scheme"
he said, was Ito reduce the prices of
American farm products" and de-
clared that by 50 doing he laid the
foundation for agricultural bank
ruptcy."
Departing from his prepared text
Reed launched an attack upon the
last IL years Of Republican admins
tration with charge "the Sherman
antitrust law went into the discard"
at the start of the Harding admin
istration.
Mentions insult Utilities
The result. he declared, was the
shrinking up OF large "super-holding
companies" whose stocks were thrown
on the market "for gambling" He
named specifically the insult corpor-
atoms, but said there were many
other smaller similar projects
launched.
when the bubble burst" he said,
banks began to close. Finally the
effect reached out into the heart Of
the country and all business became
paralyzed."
He said the tariff caused q falling
off in foreign trade, holding the Re-
publican party responsible "for this
catastrophe which swept away much
of the wealth of our country"
He charged that as food admins
traitor, Hoover fixed the maximum
price Of wheat at $500 per bushel In
the United States, while in foreign
countries 1t was selling at consider
ably higher prices.
THE inevitable consequence" Reed
said, was that at the close Of the
war the farmer, instead Of having
accumulated money, had his notes in
the bank and his mortgages In the
vaults OF the mortgage company"
Charges Wilful Perversion
He branded as "wilful perversion
OF the truth" statements he attribut-
ed to the president that Governor
Roosevelt promised reduction OF
farm tariffs" He also attacked the
president for statement made in the
latter's speech here last week in which
he said that at one time the United
States was within two weeks OF going
off the gold standard.
His statement has done infinite
harm and If credited will send a
SILVER Of fear throughout the finan-
cial and industrial world" he de-
clared.
A crowd estimated by Coliseum Of
ficals at 5000 cheered the speaker
throughout and broke into a long
cheer as he finished with tribute to
Roosevelt as the man ito extricate
this country from the morass IN
which it has been involved"

EX.PRISON GUARDS
BEGIN DEFENSE IN
CAMP MURDER CASE
Many Witnesses, Many of Them
convicts, Called BY Two
Defendants

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 11.-F)-An
array of witnesses, many Of them con-
victs, was marshalled Tuesday to sup
port the contention Of former prison
guards, George w. Courson and Solo,
mon Higginbotham, that Arthur
Maillefert. prisoner whose death in a
sweat box led to their trial for muir
der, deliberately strangled himself.
The state, charging the two killed
Maillefert through weakening him by
torture and allowing him to strange
at the end of q trace chain dangling
from q rafter In a punitive cell, rest
ed its case Monday night after intro
ducing q parade Of convict witnesses
who told terse tales of Sunbeam pri-
son camp brutalities. The defense
contends Maillefert chose suicide as
the way to end his seven-year term
for robbing q filling station.
Testimony introduced by the state
was that Courson flogged Maillefert
with hose like that used In coupling
box cars: had him put into barrel,
the ends knocked out and attached
to the youths neck by planks and
straps, and finally confined him IN
the sweat box with stocks on his feet
and his neck encircled by the chain
which brought strangulation.
Robert Blake. head trusty at Sun
beam at the time told the jury he
helped frame a story that Maillefert
committed suicide and that he did
this at Courson's request that the
trusty get some witnesses Ito clear
me at the trial."
After Courson's arrest, Blake said,
he was broken as trusty. reduced to
the squad under guns, and sent away
to Kenansville camp, where he claim
ed q guard told him he would be dead
in 60 days II he related his story at
the trial.
Testimony also was presented that
guards stood around and laughed at
Maillefert's struggles to get to his
feet one day when he fell down while
encased in the barrel. :.
Maillefert escaped from the barrel
and ran into the woods but was re-
captured. Blake admitted Monday
that he himself cut the straps Of the
barrel, allowing the youth to make the
dash Tor freedom which brought the
sweat box punishment. Blake said
he did this because wanted to give
the boy q chance for his life."
When Mailletert was returned to
the camp after his capture, witnesses
declared, Higginbotham said: I'D
