of pieces of boards. There were no
witnesses to the actual drowing, as
far as police can learn.

Alexandria police, Capt. Haywood Dur
rer of the Fairfax force and two
civilian helpers, Gardner and Robert
Arnold. brothers, began dragging and
recovered the Magruder boys body

st. Mary's School. here, and was to
graduate next month.

mobile accident on the Defense High
way about two years ago. He is sur
vived by his mother, Mrs. Martha Lee
Magruder, and four sisters, Julia,
Edna, Margaret and Mrs. Frances
Marks, all of Alexandria.

new TRAFFIC LAW
IN EFFECT TODAY

Pleased with their new weapon
against speeders-the bill signed by
President Roosevelt Friday, authori-
ing suspension or revocation of the
right of nonresident drivers to oper-
ate in the District-Traffic Depart
ment officials were prepared today to
put the new law into effect immedi-
ately.
All cases of speeding more than 35
miles an hour will be treated exactly
the same now, whether the drivers
have District permits or not, M. o.
Eldridge, member of the Board of
Suspensions and Revocations, declared
today.
Nonresident drivers figure in
about Is per cent of the traffic acci-
dents in the District, and in approx
imately IS per cent of the speeding
cases." he pointed out.
This new law will greatly aid the
campaign to reduce accidents and IA
talities by making nonresident driv-
ers subject to the same penalties upon
conviction as those with District
licenses.
Heretofore, our only recourse in
che case of non-residents was to fine
them and send notice of their con-
viction to the authorities in their
home State for whatever action they
were able to take.
"Now we can suspend the right to
drive in the District, upon conviction
the same as though they had a Dis
trict drivers permit"

. Passage by the Senate tomorrow of
the $685., 100000 national flood-control
bill, including SSH 900 to be spent on
the Potomac for the protection of
Washington. was predicted today by
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New
York, in charge of the measure.
He made the statement while ad-
dressing convention Of delegates
from the States flooded this Spring,
assembled in the Senate Office Build
ing to discuss the pending legislation.
The Senate provision for protection
Of the downtown area of the Ma
tional Capital, where the Federal
Government has a large investment
in public buildings, was in the meas
ure as it passed the House last Au-
gust. Therefore, when the Senate
acts. the local item will not be at
issue IN conference.
After Representative Wilmington
of Mississippi had made an impas-
stoned plea for passage of the Cope
land omnibus bill by the Senate and
of the Overton bill for Mississippi
food protection by the House. Cope
land took the floor to declare:
We're going to pass this bill Ohe
omnibus measure) tomorrow"
Stand on Local Costs.
Expressing the belief that all diff
culties over the measure have been
ironed out, except the question of local
participation in the cost, Copeland re-
affirmed his belief in the policy
adopted by the Commerce Committee
in recommending that communities
benefited by the flood works contribute
to the extent of acquiring necessary
land and easements and by providing
for maintenance of the completed
projects.
Il have no doubt" he said, that
tomorrow an effort will be made in
the Senate to change the division of
cost feature. but it is only right that
the localities should pay share. by
purchase of land and easements. And,
if you are in favor of this bill. you will
not interfere too much with the policy
of the Commerce Committee, because
it is not only important to pass the
bill in the Senate, but also to get it
signed"
U. S. Expenditure 1865 5,0O0, ,0O0.
The New York Senator estimated
the cost to local communities would
amount to 100000, 900, as compared
with total Federal expenditure in
the Senate bill Of $685., 100000 He
intimated the bill may not become a
law unless the local contribution fea-
ture is retained. AS it stands, the
Senate measure contains projects af-
1ecting 40 States.
In addition to the safeguards for
the lower area of Washington, the
bill contains ether projects for the
Upper Potomac as follows: To protect
Cumberland. Md, S743,400: Harpers
