SPEED ARTISTS,
DRUNK DRIVERS
In POLICE net.
State Highway Officers Show
Effectiveness Convincingly
During April.

Evidence of the effectiveness Of Min
nesota's Highway patrol was given quite
convincingly during the month of April,
when they had their busiest month OF
the year, according to report received
by N. w. ElSberg, Minnesota highway
commissioner, from M. j. Murray, chief
of the Highway patrol.
The war on drunken drivers con-
tinued full force, with Sc violators,
gain of 10 over March, paying total
of $3.50 in fines. This brings the
years total up to 1872. Chief Murray
declared that patrolmen will continue
to clamp down on all drunken drivers
until the highways in Minnesota are
safe for everyone to travel without fear
or injury or death.
Arrests of speeders also topped those
of previous months this year, there
being 81 drivers apprehended during
the month. Fines for speeding reached
nearly half of the years total OF
S2,177.10. Speeding drivers paid a
total of $s36.1O in fines, the highest
total for one month, so far this year
Drivers are again reminded that the
speed limit on all roads is As miles per
hour unless zoned otherwise.
Patrolmen picked up nearly fou1
times as many motorists for driving
with illegal equipment as they had in
any of the other months this year when
they tagged $50 drivers. Included ir
these were 1,409 for having rear light
out, 43O for illegal brakes, ASS for nc
clearance lamps, and 921 for lamps out
of adjustment.
Another class receiving a record num-
Der of tags for illegal equipment, was
the "one-eyed" car drivers. '"The wal
on these drivers is perpetual one in
which We aim to clear the highways
of this menace to life and limb" Chief
Murray said. During the month OF
April, 1882 drivers were tagged foG
driving with only one headlight.
Fines for the month totaled $685. 5
bringing the total for the year tc
date up to S23,22690 Drunken drivers
bore the brunt of this, and were fol-
lowed by careless drivers, who We're
fined $1,368, and drivers having i'm
proper registration $1,179.
A total of 1893 motorists We're arrested
during the month.
Highway Patrolmen added to theil
fame as Good Samaritans of the high
way" when they gave aid to 4,421
motorists. This included road infor-
nation to 2,263, minor adjustments OF
repairs, 1898; while they gave first aic
to injured in II cases.

Langdon, attacked the motion of Her
bert Niemeyer. The Streets Commit
tee, headed by Mr.. Niemeyer, previ-
ously had voted, to 2, in favor Of
widening.
DR.. Mattingly, member of the group
for II years, declared the committee,
in deciding on the widening solution,
had "far from exhausted the possible
remedies for easing traffic congestion. "
He cited four specific thoroughfares in
other outlying commercial sections OF
Washington which he stated have far
less side street parking space than
Rhode Island avenue in the Woodbridge
area and are further handicapped by
the presence of streetcar loading zones
safety zones and taxi stands in addi-
ton to parking demands created by
theaters in the vicinity.
Cost Factor Brought Up.
Mr.. Langdon, who framed the petit
ton of protest. said widening would en-
tail heavy assessment of abutting prop
erty, destruction Of shade trees, de-
struction of from to feet of lawns
and heavy cost to remove and alter
steep terraces surrounding avenue
properties. He pointed out that park
ing ills could not be remedied, mas
much as angle parking, the only posi-
bility, is not favored by the highway
department.
Terming the move as premature"
William S. Torbert, retired lawyer and
veteran member, declared that the
widening will be consummated even-
tually as Mr.. Van Duzer indicates,
so there is little point to ask for piece
meal construction which would neces-
sarily result in bottle neck along
the avenue"
Sees Outsiders Benefited.
o. E. Meinzer, referring to the vote
favoring widening by the local busi-
ness mems association taken sew
eral days ago, said that "only motor
lists. and trucking would benefit by
the change-not the businessman or
community" Rhode Island avenue
would be converted into an arterial
highway, splitting the business sec
ton and endangering the lives Of pc
destrians," Mr.. MeinZer added.
A motion advocating the circula-
ton Of Mr.. Langdon's petition was
carried almost unanimously.
Effective at the November meeting,
the association constitution will pre-
vent president serving more than two
consecutive terms.

LEADERS ARE COOL
TO WAR DEBT PLAN
State Department in Favor
Of Accepting Hungarian
Proposal.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Some Congressional leaders gave Q
cool reception yesterday to reports
that President Roosevelt soon would
send Hungary's debt settlement pro.
posal to Congress.
Under the proposal Hungary would
pay all Of its principal debt, but no in
terest. 1t was learned the State De-
partment had advised Mr.. Roosevelt
to accept the offer for two reasons.
One is that 1t comes from q country
which has been a good payer in the
past. The other is that 1t might set
. precedent for similar settlements by
larger debtor nations which are pay.
ing nothing on their obligations. 4.
However, Chairman Harrison. Demo.
crat, Of Mississippi, Of the Senate
Finance Committee told reporters he
believed the time was inopportune to
attempt any negotiations for revision
Of international debts.
Joint Resolution Necessary.
II the President sends the Hun
garian proposal to. Congress. Is persons
close to the State Department pre-
dicted he would, 1t would be turned
over to the Senate Finance Commit
tee and the House Ways and Means
Committee for initial considerati ton.
1t would be necessary for Congress to
adopt joint resolution in order to
change the terms Of the debt, leaders
pointed out.
Chairman Pittman, Democrat, Of
Nevada Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee raised the question
whether settlement woule be OF any
economic value to the United States.
He said he believed an agreement
with Hungary would have no "politi-
cal" effect and indicated he doubted
that this country would receive any
economic benefits other than the pay
ments Of $4,000 year Hungary pro-
poses to make for the next 80 years.
$4,000 Annual Payment.
Under present terms Of the debt
that country Is obligated to pay ST.
900 for so years.
Senator Bailey, Democrat, Of North
Carolina. a member of the Finance
Committee, said he would be glad to
see the whole question Of war debts re-
opened. He said he considered the
Hungarian offer a forerunner Of pro.
posals that might be made by nations
