Permit Is His,
Driver Says in
Suit to KeepH

Contending that because he paid So
for his automobile drivers permit he
owns 1t, and the District Commits
sioners cannot take it away from
him, De Witt F. Drew, 1921 Columbia
road NV. filed suit in District Court
late yesterday to enjoin them from
doing So
The Commissioners have notified
him, the court was informed, that
his license will be revoked or sus-
pended because police said he was
driving 10 miles an hour on the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway.
Mr.. Drew contended that he never
was convicted of driving the alleged
10 miles an hour, and anyway the
asserted offense did not occur in the
District He said he forfeited S25 on
the speeding charge and never stood
trial.
For these and other reasons-among
them that he Is driver for the
Commerce Department and would lose
his job If he loses his drivers per.
mit-Mr. Drew pleaded that he should
not be deprived of the permit.
Through Attorney Albert Lyman he
asked the court to enjoin the Com.
missioners, both off1cially and as in.
dividuals, from enforcing the revoca-
ton or suspension order.

A|L-SUbWAY LINK
TO SUBURBS URGED.
Allen Sees Better Commuter
Service Cutting Capitals
Traffic Congestion.

Use of existing railroad tracks
through the District to provide high
speed transportation from the suburbs
to downtown Washington is suggested
by Commissioner George E. Allen as
a means of lessening traffic conges-
ton.
All that would be needed to COM
plete such a service, he said late yes
terday, would be the construction OF
subway connections between the Vir-
ginia avenue-Rock Creek vicinity and
the Twelfth street at Maryland ave.
nue. S.W. area, which might cost
$2,500.00 or more.
Suggests w. p. A. Financing.
He suggested that such a subway
plan, to motivate an arrangement
whereby commuters trains might be
run over the rail lines separately from
street car service. might be financed
through the P. w. A.
Commissioner Allen in this valedic-
tory suggestion as a District Com
missioner said he was inspired by an
outline of such a program given by
Waldo L. Schmitt of the National
Museum, published last February.
Would Reduce Autos.
At that time, according to Commits
sioner Allen, Dr. Schmitt said: THE
way to remedy the difficulty is not
by building underpasses for automo-
biles at the circles, or an elevated
super-speed highway as has been sug-
gested for K street. Neither will re-
duce the number of automobiles using
the streets. Either of them might,
indeed, even encourage more automo-
biles to use them.
"Only by bringing about q marked
reduction in the number Of automo-
biles that are daily driven into town
by the 'commuter' class of owners
can the trafic problem be solved"
Commissioner Allen agreed with Dr..
Schmitt that there is no city of the
United States better equipped with
existing rail lines for carrying large
numbers of commuters from outlying
areas into downtown Washington.

Miss Marleau

Continued From Page One)
1:30 Tuesday morning that killed
eleven persons and injured 100,
and as Miss Marleau and Miss Jund
were walking down to where the
two huge locomotives were piled
up a mass of wreckage they heard
someone say young mother had
been killed and her baby had ap-
paren escaped injury. They
wondered then if the woman could
have been Mrs. Sorrells, knowing
that she had been in one of the
front coaches.
Later, as the dead were being
taken to INLAND the hostess on the
Californian came through the Pull
man in which Miss Marleau and
Miss Jund were riding. Miss Mar
leau asked her if she knew who
the young mother was who had
been killed and the hostess replied
mo"
"I asked the hostess if she had
red hair and wore dark blue dress
with white dots, and she replied
yes, did you know her, said Miss
Marleau." Then she asked me if
I thought I would be able to iden-
tify the baby and I replied could
if the baby was asleep, since the
only time I had ever seen the child
was when he was asleep in the Los
Angeles union station a few hours
before.
"She asked me to go to the coach
where the baby had been taken
and I did. The child was asleep and
I knew right away it was Avis lit
tie boy"
Miss Marleau said that the child
was looked after, from the time
of the wreck until it was met by
it's father in Tucson Wednesday
morning, by Mrs. Thomas Peter
son from the COED Shop in Tue
son.
Still nursing the after effects of
a blow on the head suffered when
the two passenger trains collided.
Miss Marleau from a cot in her
home on Elm street, gave a vivid
eyewitness account of the accident.
miss Jund was awake at the
time the trains collided. I was
asleep. AS I awakened, my neck
was hurting so, thought what a
rough engineer we have, he'll break
my neck said Miss Marleau.
"Miss Jund remarked that the
Californian had been standing
still and that something had struck
us, then thought OF Mrs. Sorrells
and baby up in the chair car just
back of two baggage cars. The car
in which we were riding was four
or five coaches behind the car
that Mrs. Sorrells and baby had
boarded-the car that was tele-
scoped by the second baggage car,
resulting in the death of Mrs. Sor-
rellS and other persons.
Everything Calm
after the wreck everything was
calm, there was no screeching. Using
acetylene torches and flashlights
railroad men and other persons
who had escaped injury worked un-
til daylight removing the dead and
injured Two hours we're required
releasing one woman who had been
pinned under the wreckage. 1.-THE
dead were taken to INLAND and the
seriously injured to Indio.
"Our coach wasn't derailed, the
only derailment on our train being
the locomotive. Most of the seri-
ously injured were on the Argonaut
and the dead in the chair car that
was teleScoped by the second bag
gage car Of the Californian.
1.-THE dining car of the Californ-
ian was used as first aid station
for the injured and railroad men
did everything possible to make all
of us comfortable.
Asked how fast the Argonaut was
travelling when it crashed into the
Californian, Miss Marleau said she
was advised by a railroad man that
it was about so miles an hour.
