NEW RELIEF FUND
FOR D. c. BACKED
Deficiency Appropriation oil
$830,000 Given Civic
Groups Endorsement.

The support of a large number of
representatives from Washington civic
and welfare organizations today was
thrown behind the Welfare Boards re-
quest for a deficiency appropriation of
$830,000 to continue relief in the Dis
trict until June 80.
DR.. j. Russell Clinchy, pastor of
the Mount Pleasant Congregational
Church, presiding over a meeting Of
the representatives at the Harrington
Hotel yesterday. urged the group to at
tend a hearing before the District
Commissioners next Tuesday at IL
am. when the Welfare Boards request
will be considered.
Would Avoid Federal Grant.
DR.. Frederick w. Perkins, chairman
of the Public Assistance Committee of
the Board of Public Welfare, urged
the appropriation be sought as a "mu-
nicipal appropriation" to enable WASH
ington to handle adequately its relief
problem, rather than as q Federal
grant which would stir opposition in
Congress.
The present relief situation, no aid
at all for families Of employables un-
able to secure work, and inadequate
funds for unemployables now receiving
aid. was presented graphically by sew.
eral welfare workers, including Mrs.
Margaret Anderson of the Board Of
Public Welfare. She recounted a few
cases in which fathers had deserted
wives and children so their families
could secure relief.
The additional funds are sought for
the following relief services:
Granting $35 month to each of at
least 5000 employable families not
now on relief, for the next six months,
$780, 900.
More Personnel Asked.
Additional payment of IS q month
to each Of $500 families now on relief,
$135, 900.
Additional personnel to handle the
increased case burden, $65, 900.
These figures were presented by
Director of Public Welfare Elwood
Street. who stressed. for the personnel
allotment, the unusually heavy burden
under which welfare workers are now
operating.
DIR. Clinchy declared present relief
policies and lack of funds we're penal
izing those who are able to work." but
are unable to secure employment.

Improvement Shown Over
113 Fatalities Recorded
in 1885.
PROSECUTION FIGURES
SHOW DISCREPANCIES
September Was Safest Month in
Washington and December
Most Dangerous.
Death List, Page A-l0.

The story of Washigton's trafhc
fatalities for 1886, as revealed by po-
lice records today, shows 80 persons
have been killed in automobile acci-
dents and two offending drivers sent
to Jail.
So far as the total of deaths is
concerned, there has been a decided
improvement. In 1885, there were 113
official traffic deaths, and persons
were killed in accidents on private
property, while in 1884 the total Of
deaths was 1875.
Although there Is some discrep-
ancy in the figures relating to prose.
cutions of negligent drivers, appar-
emily there have been but two con-
victions.
Is Motorists Charged.
The official police records show that
up to December % IS motorists were
charged under the negligent homi-
eide act. OF these one was sent 10
jail upon conviction in Police Court,
four cases were nolle pressed, no pa
pers were issued in two others, one
person was sent to an insane asylum
and seven cases are still pending.
The same figures show five persons
indicted for manslaughter and one
conviction, in which the driver was
given q jail sentence OF from two to
three years. The four remaining
cases are awaiting trial.
Records Of the coroner's Office show
II persons held under the negligent
homicide act and eight drivers held
for the grand jury, with four cases
in which inquests have not yet been
held. In the grand jury cases, pre-
sumably three Of the charges were
nolle pressed or ignored by the Jurors.
The reduction in the total number
Of deaths was attributed to increased
police vigilance and the intensive
traffic safety campaigns carried on in
the newspapers, the schools and by
the automobile associations.
September Safest Month.
The safest month during the year
was September, when only three per-
sons were killed. December brought
the worst record, with 18 lives lost.
The youngest victim was 3-year-old
William Brookhart. grandson Of the
former Senator, who was killed last
Spring when he broke away from his
mother and ran into the path of an
automobile driven by close friend.
John Boyle. 81, veteran Washington
newspaper man, was the Oldest victim.
He was run down on September 30 and
died December 26.
Seven-year-old Donald Miller. 5213
Macomb street, was the first victim of
the year. He was killed January 2
when run over by a street car while
sleigh riding. Another tragic death
was that Of 6-year-old James Tate,
go New York avenue. who was killed
when struck by a bus December 8
just after leaving his home to take
his little brother to mass.

Fifth precinct police were called,
and squad car was sent to the house.
Vainly the officers tried to persuade
Smallwood they had come only to
help him. Shouting defiance, he
crawled to a far corner of the space.
The policemen decided the problem
was too much for them, so they called
the fire rescue squad. The fremen
explained to Smallwood that they
were not officers and had not come
to arrest him. The only answer, how
ever. was more humping and shouting

Elmer Smallwood, 80, Of 1874 Half

two nights at the L street address with
his uncle, James Porter. Some time
between 2 and 6 am. today, Porter
said. Smallwood squeezed through the
small trap door leading to the roof and
forced himself into the narrow space
above the ceiling of the bath room.
Members Of the family heard him
humping on the ceiling and yelling
that crooks" were after him. At
tempts to lure him from his hiding
place resulted only in more shouting
