M0T0RMAN FREED
IN COLLISION DEATH
Is Exonerated by Police Court
Jury in 10 Minutes in
Vessels Killing,

Deliberating only 10 minutes. a Po-
lice Court jury late yesterday acquit-
ted James H. Peck. street car motor
man, of charge of negligent homi-
eide in connection with the death on
April % of Policeman Ernest T. Wes-
sells, who was instantly killed when
his motor cycle crashed into the troll
ley at Piney Branch road and But
ternut street NV.
The acquittal followed two days of
conflicting testimony. Mr. Vessels
crashed into the car while respond
ing to an emergency call.
Witnesses were about evenly di-
vided on the question of whether Mr..
Peck halted his car at step sign
before proceeding into the intersec-
ton. There was general agreement
that Mr.. Vessels was proceeding at
high rate of speed. while there was
some disagreement over whether he
was sounding his siren continually.
One Of the points brought out by
the defense was that the car operated
by Mr.. Peck was of the center-en-
trance type and had been in operation
since 1912 In this respect it was
brought out that the car, while in
good mechanical condition, was very
noisy and might have prevented the
motorman from hearing the siren
until just before the crash.
The case was prosecuted by Assist
ant United States Attorney Albert
Goldstein and defended by R. Sidney
johnson, counsel for the Capital Tran
sit Co.

NEW SCHEDULE CALLS
FOR SOME INCREASES
Change Goes Into Effect June l.
Moor Calls Attention to
Variety of Types. .

District employers, collectively, will
reap saving Of roughly 1922. 900 over
the period OF year from reductions
in premium charges for workmen's
compensation insurance, which are
scheduled to go into effect July /.
]. Balch Moor, District superintend.
ent of insurance, announced his ap-'
proval of revisions of rates yesterday
after receiving report of changes in
premium costs adopted by the Ma
tional Council on Compensation In.
surance, rate-making body for COM
panies handling such insurance.
He was advised that the general
result would be II per cent reduc-
ton in the total workmen's compensa-
ton insurance premium bill to be paid
by the District employers. The pre-
MUM total here in 1887 was $780,
$40. The IL per cent estimate Is not
exact, since the rates will be on a
fiscal year basis, and not for a CAL
endar year.
Some Rates Raised.
Changes in rate schedules vary
widely, since the premiums are gauged
by the estimation of the hazards in
volved in each particular type Of en-
ployment risk underwritten. In some
cases there are increases in rates. The
amount OF the reductions, in other
cases. varies considerably. There are
between 600 and TOO different types
of employment risks listed in rate
schedules. Mr.. Moor explained.
One of a number of illustrations.
taken at random from the document
on rate schedules. shows that the new
rate for insurance on persons engaged
in painting, decoration and paper
hanging will be s4.49 for each 500
of pay roll total. as against the pres
ent rate of 1923 per 500.
Restaurant employees have . new
rate of $119, an increase of cents
over the present rate.
Employees of clothing and dry goods
stores will have new rate OF 81
cents per 500 Of pay roll total, as
against the present rate Of 81 cents.
Superintendents in charge Of con-
struction work. watchrhen and time
keepers in such occupations will have
new rate of So cents per 500 Of
pay roll, as against 96 cents under
present rates. Mechanics employed in
concrete construction will have new
rate of s649 as against the present
rate Of $840.
Pct. Reduction Last Year.
Last year there was a reduction OF
per cent in the total District premium
costs. from the sum collected in the
previous year, but the total for 1886
was per cent higher than it was
in 1885.
The general basis for rate making, it
was explained, is an allowance Of
625 per cent of total premiums to
cover cost of losses paid by the COM
panies. and the remaining 375 per
cent to cover company expenses. taxes
and profits.
The rate revisions just announced
are said to be based on study of the
actual experience in the individual
classes Of risks for the years 1884
and 1885, the latest for which the
records have been closed.
