Civic Group Demands
Probe Of Charges
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Charges that Capital Transit
Company bus drivers are men
acing the safety of passengers and
motorists were made at meeting
of the Connecticut Avenue Citl-
zens Association at All Souls
Church last night.
The careless manner in which
the drivers stop and start the
buses was aSsailed by number
OF speakers, and the complaints
we're ordered brought to the at
tention of the company and the
Public Utilities Commission.
Establishment of a permanent
safety commission in the city was
opposed by the association as a
waste of money, and the CommiS-
sioners were urged to hold down
the 1910 budget to the amount of
anticipated revenue.
FISH SALE, ISSUE
In a resolution by David Babp,
opposition was voted to pro
posal of Health Officer George
c. Rutland, banning the sale of
fish by hucksters. 1t was pointed
out the rule. if adopted, would
throw many out of work and raise
the cost of living to the poorer
classes.
A letter Of appreciation was
ordered sent to Traffic Director
W. A. Van Duzer, for complying
with a request to place a traffic
light at the Connecticut Avenue
entrance to the Zoo.
Thomas E. Lodge, past preSi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens
Associations. as guest speaker, said
the fact that the people of the
District were not consulted re-
garding the selection of a District
flag, was one of the outstanding
reasons why they should be
granted the right of suffrage.
Mr.. Lodge declared he favors
placing a ballot in the hands Of
every qualified voter in the Dis
trict. It is a sad condition, he
said, when people have absolutely
no voice in how their tax money
is expended.
New members elected were
Charles Douglass. Henry M.
Stoehr, John J. Nelligan and Dun
can S. de Graffenreid.

SEES DEBT OWED

Scientist Says vio|ators of
Bad Laws Advance
Civilization.

BERKELEY. Calf, Aug. ia
prominent psychologist asserted to-
day the world was indebted to crime
and criminals for the advance Of
civilization and that without them we
would revert to savagery.
In the lawbreaking class he put
the Christian martyrs and George
Washington and several other Presi-
dents of the United States.
Washington, he said. was guilty Of
treason against the British"
The psychologist-Dr. Knight Dun
lap. professor OF psychology at the
University of California at Los Ange-
les-championed the necessity" Of
crime in an article for the forthcoming
issue of the California Monthly, pub
lication OF the University Of California
alumni. tr,.'
DR.. Dunlap argued that there was
nothing really wrong about violating
a bad" law and that the crime" in
volved might even benefit society in
the end by contributing to the elimi-
nation OF the improper statute.
His contention was that such re-
finements as have been made in our
system Of laws have been due to
eventual realization by the public OF
the seeming justice which motivated
the breakers of bad" laws.
Universal and unquestioned submis-
sion to all laws made, he said. in
evitably entails reversion to savagery."
Law and Morality.
DR. Dunlap suggested the division
between law and morality represented
the difference between crimes"
eventually beneficial to society and
real offenses against the public well
fare.
He cited the fact that it was not
crime to commit an immoral act
against which there was no law. On
the same basis an individual might
reason that it was not wrong to break
law If in doing so he considered his
conduct moral, or at least not i'm
moral
He pointed out that acts which are
crimes in some places are not crimes
elsewhere. yet the moral issue involved
would be the same in both places.
DR.. Dunlap acknowledged the diff
Guilty of acceptably defining morality
and immortality, but in viewing laws
in general he suggested that moral
acts were those in accord with public
welfare, and immoral acts were those
against or detrimental to public well
fare
If. then. we assume that it is
ones duty to promote public welfare
and to avoid acts against public well
fare" he said, I'VE can hardly avoid
the conclusion that under certain cir
cumstances it is ones duty to commit
crime. = This. situation arises be-
cause there are laws which really are
detrimental to public welfare
Cites Prohibition Law.
The psychologist cited the late pro-
hibition law as bad" and praised the
crimes openly committed by Margaret
Sanger and other resolute persons"
opposed to birth-control statutes.
DR.. Dunlap pointed out that the
convict body did not represent the
whole law-breaking group. but only
those who had been convicted.
Crime Is to be considered a drastic
means. not a permanent end" he said,
'and 1t is ,justifiable If it leads to the
abolition Of crime through the aboli-
ton Of laws which create 1t.
The vital question is: Who is to be
the judge between the good and the
bad? The answer: Public opinion.
There is no other judge in the long
run

Attacked by an angry bull in his barn at Lemon Creek last evening Mike Riesser, proprietor of the Douglas Dairy had a close call from death and was undoubtedly saved by his small dog, he said.
 The bull, weighing close to 2,00O pounds, had Riesser backed against the wall pummeling him with ter rible force when the dog bit the animals leg and caused him to sheer his head away temporarily but long enough for Riesser to get away to safety.
 Although not seriously injured according to the findings of his physician, the dairyman is plain fully bruised and is only able to get around with difficult Tn all probability death will be the dan gerous animals fate.
