ceptance Of policies, 1t will only be q
question Of time before the drunken
and reckless driver will be unable to
secure automobile insurance, Boteler
said:
1T is we'll known that the financial
responsibility laws Of the District.
Maryland and Virginia require the
revocation of drivers permits held by
persons who fail to satisfy Judgment
resulting from an automobile accident.
and further require evidence Of future
financial responsibility before the per-
mits can be returned.
Establishes Barrier.
1.-THE latter feature might appear
easy to comply with, but when it is
considered that insurance is the gener-
ally accepted medium of future respon-
sibility, and that insurance for the
drunken and reckless driver will be
difficult to obtain, then the problem
becomes entirely different.
When an automobile owner has
been required to furnish . certificate
of insurance to the motor vehicle di-
rector of any State, the insurance
company now must be informed of the
reason. II the policyholder or apple
cant for insurance has been convicted
of drunken driving, the insurance COM
pany usually concludes it would be
better of without the risk and either
cancels Its policy or refuses to issue
one"

explained that the most serious insur-
ance problem Of 1884 was the tremen-
dous increase in the number Of street
and highway accidents.
ION q Nationwide basis" he ex-
planned, fatal accidents alone in
creased 16 per cent. A death oc-
CURED every is minutes. Unquestion-
ably, the major factor In this appall-
ing situation was inadequate control
of the liquor traffic, following the
repeal of prohibition. The result Is
that in many important sections con-
ditions with respect to the liquor
trafflc are the worst in the history OF
the country. This combined with the
mania Of the younger generation for
high-speed automobiles, has produced
q thoroughly disastrous result.
Young People Pay.
During prohibition, much was
made Of an occasional death through
o speakeasy raid or the consumption
of bad liquor. The tremendous in
crease in the loss Of life and limb
and property since repeal so COM
pletely outshadows the few losses of
life during prohibition as to make the
latter seem trivial. And the worst
Of 1t is that far too many Of those
who are paying the penalty are young
men and young women whom the
country can Ill afford to lose.
There Is just one answer to this
most serious problem. The solution
lies in proper regulation, and Of even
more importance in law enforcement.
An aroused public opinion is the only
force that will compel public officials
to redeem their pledges and do their
duty. Elimination of political fixing
and severe punishment Of trafiic vio-
lators are the only practical ways to
reduce accidents due to speeding and
reckless driving, as well as driving
while intoxicated"

DEATH CASE

DETROIT, July 5. UP)-William
SchWeitzer and three women COM
panions who confessed to the slay-
ing of Howard Carter Dickinson,
prominent New York attorney, were
arraigned today on warrants charg-
ing first degree murder.
The four-SchWeitzer, Jean Mil
ler Florence and Loretta Jackson
stood mute when they were brought
into recorders court. Hearing was
set for next Friday before Judge
Thomas w. Cutter. Pleas of not
guilty were entered for the four
prisoners.
SchWeitzer carried a Bible in his
hand Police said he had requested
that he be permitted to carry it
when he appeared in court.
SchWeitzer and his companions
were remanded to jail without bail
The women appeared rested after
their collapse that followed the
confession of Schweitzer implicat-
ing them in the crime.
Although Prosecutor Duncan c..
McCrea indicated earlier that Mrs.
Miller would not be charged with
murder, but would be held as a
material witness, she was named in
todays warrant. The action indi-
Gated that the prosecution would
depend on other witnesses, whose
identities were not known.
Dickinson, nephew of Justice
Charles Evans Hughes, was slain a
week ago yesterday after a drink
ing party in his hotel room, fol-
lowed by a ride with the women
and SchWeitzer in the latter's au-
tomobile.
In his confession the 26-year old
underworld figure said the attorney
had been slain in the belief he
carried approximately $1,000 on his
person, but that his clothing con-
tanned less than $3.50.
