STREET CAR SPEED
LIMIT ADVOCATED
AS M|SHAP REMEDY
Brown Asks Action in Face
of Recent Increase in
Class of Accidents.
DEATHS FOR YEAR 120;
ALL-TIME MARK 1923
Congestion, Taxis and Street Lay
out Blamed for Steadily Mount
ing Toll Here.

While another death resulting from
a traffic accident occurred yesterday
to swell the total traffic fatalities for
the year to 100, just three short OF
the all-time record set in 1882. Maj
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent OF
police. said the Public Utilities Com
mission would be asked to curb the
speed of street cars.
The request for the speed limit on
cars is a result, police indicated, Of
recent accidents involving street cars
and automobiles or pedestrians
specifically the case of Adrienne
Hayes 16-year-old Roosevelt High
School student. who was critically in
iured by a street car Tuesday after
noon. She is still in serious coIdi-
ton at Emergency Hospital.
Man, 81, Is Victim.
Daniel Mccarthy, 81, of So Seaton
place, died at Sibley Hospital yester-
day of injuries received when he was
struck by an automobile November 80
while crossing the street near his
home James r. Gray. 25, colored. was
the driver of the car which struck
Mccarthy.
Commenting on the huge increase in
traffic deaths this year over last, when
only 80 deaths were recorded, Maj.
Browns said street cars should be more
strictly regulated and vehicular traf-
fic routed directly in and out of the
city.
The general plan on which the Cap
ital is laid out, he explained, was for
slow traffic, making the circles and
other peculiarities Of the city's plan
more hazardous than in most other
places. The double tracks for street
cars on downtown thoroughfares were
decried by the police superintendent.
A lack of adequate parking spaces was
another reason why traffic accidents
have been so much more frequent,
Maj. Brown declared.
Congestion Is Factor.
The tremendous total of automobiles
here and the huge feet of taxicabs,
fouling downtown traffic, also con-
tribute largely to Washington's traf-
fie difficulties, he explained. In WASH
ington it was pointed out. there were
more automobiles per capita last year
than any other place in the United
States, and this year there are $4,000
more cars registered than there were
In 1888.
An underground system for routing
traffic directly in and out of the
downtown sections of the city is
needed, Maj. Brown said, explaining
that underground parking facilities
also could be made available at the
same time.
Policeman Ivan H. Wilson, tenth
precinct. received minor injuries last
night when his automobile collided
with a street car on Benning road
northeast. Although the car was
badly damaged Wilson escaped with
bruises and cuts. A number of other
minor traffic accidents also were
reported.

ATLANTA BEER SELLER
SUES TO ESCAPE TAX
Says Excise Levy Of ST. 900 In
Dry State Is Discriminatory
and Illegal.

H. A. Emery, Atlanta restaurant
owner, filed suit in District Supreme
Court yesterday against Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue Helvering and Sec
retary Of the Treasury Morgenthau in
an effort to prevent them from col
lecting a $1,000 excise tax from him
for the privilege Of selling 80 beer.
Justice Peyton Gordon signed rule
requiring the defendants to appear
and answer Emery's petition on De-
cember II.
The plaintiff contends the excise tax
should not be levied in dry States. II
the tax were levied in dry areas, he
contends, it would be discriminatory
because the sale of beer alone Is per-
mitted in dry areas. He also asserts
his monthly profits from the sale Of
beer average $50, the total proflts
being less than the ANNA tax.
