POLL BEING TAKEN
ON LIABILITY BILL
Favorable Report Expected
on Safety Responsible
ity Plan.

A poll of the Senate District Com
mlttee on the motorists safety re-
sponsibility bill is expected to be COM
pleted this afternoon, with indica-
tions pointing to favorable report.
The bill has passed the House.
1t was considered by the committee
last week, at which time a subcom-
mittee was instructed to work out
modifying amendments. Chairman
King then was authorized to poll his
colleagues on the question of reporting
the bill
1t is designed to protect the public
against injury and damage by careless
drivers, without affecting the motor
lists who do not have accidents and
are not convicted of serious traffic
offenses. 1t provides that motorists
whose permits are suspended following
conviction for serious offenses must
obtain liability insurance before driv-
ing again.
The House bill also made the OBJ
tanning of insurance mandatory for
those who have unpaid accident judg-
ments pending against them, but this
has been modified by the Senate sub
committee to give the Commissioners
discretionary authority on whether to
restore permits without insurance in
such cases.

Almost Disrupts Trial.
The child almost disrupted the
trial by reaching her arms toward
the defendant and crying, Mamma,
mamma" in the presence of the jury.
The young woman rose from her
seat at the trial table and started
toward the child, but dropped back.
leaned her head on the table and
began sobbing.
The child was then taken from the
court room by a policewoman and
Assistant United States Attorney
Goldstein told the jury he expected
to prove Mrs. Ritchie had neglected
and mistreated the baby while the
latter was seriously i'll with pneu-
monia.
The Government charged the de-
fendant went to a boarding house
with the child on April 10, and en-
gagged a room. 1t is alleged that Mrs.
Ritchie failed to administer medicine
to the child, that she failed to call a
doctor to treat her and left her alone
in the room all of one night. although
the child was suffering from pneu-
monia
1t is also contended that on one
occasion the defendant fed the child
a fried-egg sandwich after a doctor
called in by the landlady, had pre-
scribed liquid diet.
Virginia, a daughter of the defend
ants brother. was subsequently taken
to Gallinger Hospital, where she fully
recovered her health. After being
removed from the court room. the

in last Summer collecting lin line of

in Ohio last week.
Pope and Popes father before him
raised bees in their native Austria
Hungary, and later in this country.
Since climbing trees or building
facades for stray swarms is dangerous
business, Pope collects them in line
of duty" and his insurance remains
in effect.
Thus he must make special bee
duty reports to the department S
chief engineer. The system seems to
work fine for Pope. the department
