ARRESTSPLANNED,
TO CURB HAVOC
IN LOCAL TRAFFIC
Street Cars, Busses, Taxis
and Commercial Vehicles
to Be Checked.
HOUSE COMMITTEE
TOLD ACTION NEED
Police Head Commended After
Explaining Conditions in Which
Laws Are Violated.

A new campaign to drive death
from the streets" was announced to-
day by Maj. E. w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, testifying before the
Traffic Subcommittee of the House
District Committee. This is partic-
ularly directed at drivers of street cars,
busses. taxicabs and commercial We
hicles. He testified that street car
motormen daily crash" red lights and
in this new drive they are going to
be taken into court.
Called to the witness chair by Rep
resentative Schultz of Indiana and
asked, What's this hear about you
starting in to raise hell and drive
death off the streets?" Maj. Brown
admitted, THAT states it pretty we'll"
He then explained his plan, to be put
into effect Immediately by calling on
the superintendents of traffic for large
commercial concerns and seeking their
cooperation to get their drivers to b,
more careful.
Drastic Action Demanded.
"The situation now demands drastic
action" he said Both Representa-
tive Carpenter of Kansas. presiding at
the hearing, and Representative
Schultz commended Maj. Brown and
said that great improvement should
result. -s
Representative Schultz declared tha
street car motormen and bus drivers
in Washington are the widest" dril--
ers of any city in the country. Ms.
Brown recalled that "one hit a polic
automobile the other day and th-E
wanted to fight the policeman"
Corporation Counsel Prettyman e.
planned the magistrate court bill, whic I
he drafted, designed to lift $1,000
minor traffic cases year out of tie
Police Court and to bring relief to po-
lice and court officials, promote safety
and make witness service less revolt
ing"
Describing the Objectionable condi-
tions in the Police Court, he said that
the proposed magistrate courts in
four sections of the city would free the
Police Court so that it could devote
more time to more serious cases. He
stressed that 'the impression to be
made on the violators- should be one
of certain, digni6ed. efficient. simple,
quick consideration of the charge,
leading promptly to punishment or
discharge"
The violations Of traffic regulation
to go before such magistrate cour
would be speeding first and secor:.
offenses>. fGiling to exhibit an ops
ator's permit, intoXication first a :,
second cfferses), discrderlr cord''' 4,
violations of police and health regu :
tions.
The corporation counsel said IL
favored appointment of lay mag, =
trates rather than "one skilled i'll
law" and Chairman Carpenter agreed
with him. Representative Schultz
argued that these should be full-time
jobs rather than part-time as pro-
vided in the pending bill.
It was agreed by the committee,
Maj. Brown and the corporation
counsel that safety control Is the
aim and not more arrests or annoy
ance of drivers. 1t was emphasized
that more uniformed police on traffic
duty are needed

President FauOrs
Museum, Here for
Historic Vessels
Letter Revealed at Hear.
ing on Frigate ConstelIa-
ton NO,U at Newport.

While citizens of Baltimore and New
port, R. l., were debating their rela-
tive claims to the frigate Constellation
before the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee today it was brought out that
President Roosevelt would like to see
historic old naval vessels anchored
some time in the future ut the Ma
tion's Capital.
A letter from the President, referred
to by one Of the speakers. stated, how
ever, that at present the cost would
be prohibitive because Of extensive re-
pairs that would have to be made.
Presenting the plea of Baltimore to
have the Constellation moved there
from Newport and anchored at Fort
Mckinley, John w. Farrell argued
that a naval museum in the Potomac,
as proposed by the President, would
cost $500, 900 at the start and con-
siderably more later on. The Mary
land delegation presented letters from
more than 80 State Governors favor
ing the Baltimore location, and some
Of these had written to the President
to express their views. It was in re-
ply to one Of these Governors that
President Roosevelt wrote, In part, as
follows:
''while sympathizing fully with the
desires Of some Of the States to pre-
serve famous naval vessels that have
an historic association with particular
localities. 1t appears to me that 1t
would be q fine thing II we could col
lect such vessels at Washington, where
visitors from all over the country
could see them. hope this may be
done some day. but ct present the
cost Il prohibitiye, because the Con-
stellation and some Of the. other ves-
sells that have In mind would re-,
quire very extensive repairs TO place
them In . sufaciently seaworthy con-
dition for any sea passage.
4 Headed BY Senators Tydings and
Radcliffe, the Marylanders urged

McEIenry because the famous old ves-
sel wAs slaunched Ii Haltimore. IN l7s7.

CONDEMNATION JURY'S
DECISION. is HELD UP
Protests in Michigan Avenue Via
duct Case to Be Heard by Court.
Cathoic U. Fights Decision.

Approval Of findings of jury for
condemnation of land needed by the
District for the proposed Michigan
avenue viaduct has been blocked by
protests from Catholic University and
five other nearby property owners, ac-
cording to Assistant Corporation
Counsel Walter L. Fowler.
District Supreme Court will hold
a hearing on the objections before
the court acts on the jury verdict,
he added. While the university owns
no property in the line of the viaduct,
it claims damages due to the. pro-
posed closing of section of Bunker
Hill road.
The jury disallowed the claim. It
proposed payment of $1,000 to prop
erty owners, instead of total of
$3.50, 600 proposed by claimants.

the aid of the small fellow" who
writes songs at a dramatic hearing on
copyright amendments before the
House Patents Committee today.

Society of Composers, Authors and
Producers. warned the committee that
certain provisions of the Duffy bill
amendment would kill the goose that
laid the golden egg" for users of music
hotel managers, broadcasting sta
tions and motion picture exhibitors.
Standing, with one hand in his
pocket and the other resting lightly
on the table, Vallee explained his fu-
ture is definitely tied up with the in
terests Of music users and he "hopes
some day to become radio executive"
Good Music Rare.
As a user" of music, he described
the difficulty of procuring good pieces
for radio programs and asserted that,
On Broadway today, there is not .one
smash musical hit, not one smash

In preparing Commute radio pro-

CUT IN WATER
RATES URGED

BETHESDA, Md, Feb. A
campaign for reductions in water
rates and service charges for resi-
dents Of the metropolitan area Of
Montgomery county was launched
last night by the recently organized
Westmoreland Hills Citizens ASSo-
citation.
Emory H. Bogley, member Of
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission, in reply to de.
mands from members Of the aSSo-
ciation for new rate schedules
comparable with those in effect in
Washington, declared this to be ex.
tremely unfair.
Mr.. Bogley pointed out that the
District Of Columbia water unit
serves only SO square miles. con-
tanning approximately 164, 200 resi-
denceS and about $50, 900 residents,
while the suburban sanitary COM
missions unit serves 104 square
miles containing only Is 900 homes
and approximately $4,000 persons.
This fact alone should show why
a rate schedule comparable with
washington is not only unfair but
impossible at the present time, he
said.
Mr.. Bogley also said the Govern
ment paid for approximately one
third Of the installation cost OF
Washington's water system and
since that time has contributed
approximately $1,322,000 toward
its maintenance.

"I would like to vote to stop
