Kinard Goes 10 Chair
In District Jail for
Murder Of Wife
Prisoner, StoIid
And Silent, Helps
Adjust Straps

After two stays of execution, Will
Kinard, 49, colored, went to the
electric chair in the District Jail
today for the murder of his wife,
Laura, whom he shot during an
argument in their home, 2l7 Third
street S.W., in November, 1886.
Kinard was stolidly silent as he
walked from the death row to the
dining hall in the north wing of
the Jail at 1905 am, followed by
the Rev. James L. Pinn of the Lib
eral Baptist Church. who was with
him during his last hours and sang
a hymn as they walked into the
improvised death chamber
Without uttering word. he
helped the guards adjust the straps.
DR.. w. K. Angevine. Jail physician,
pronounced him dead at 10:11 am.
Jail Supt. Thomas M. Rives said
that Kinard had been a model pris-
oner and had been in a death row
cell since his first conviction more
than two years ago because of the
District law making the death pen
atty mandatory on conviction of
first-degree murder. A brother had
visited him last night, but neither
of his two children. who testified
against him at his trials, was per
mitted to see him.
Kinard won a new trial after his
first conviction of first-degree muir
der on a technical error in the
courts charge to the jury.
After conviction at the second
trial Kinard was sentenced to die
last July 8. He won a stay of execu-
ton pending his appeal, but on last
November % the United States Court
of Appeals upheld the lower courts
verdict.
He killed his wife in an alterca-
ton at their home, at PIT Third
street SW., and his two children,
William Kinard. jr.. and Pauline,
then II and years old, respectively,
as the Governments only eye
witnesses, gave testimony which sent
their father to the electric chair.
The Governments evidence show
ed the woman had been shot six
times, once in the left arm and five
times in the chest and abdomen.
and six empty cartridges. taken
from Kinard's gun, were offered in
evidence.

Miss Perkins Invited
To Appear Before
House Committee
One Member Says
Public Is Aroused
By Thomas Charges
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of Labor Perkins has
been invited to appear Tuesday be-
fore the House Judiciary Commit
tee, considering m p e n m n
charges against her and two OF her
departmental advisers.
The committee decided to issue
the invitation yesterday after hear
ing Representative Thomas, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, sponsor of the
Impeachment resolution, and Ger
ard D. Reilly, Labor Department
solicitor, one of those named in the
resolution.
One Democratic committee men,
ber, who declined use of his name,
said the committee felt that 1.-The
public had been SO aroused" by the
Thomas resolution that Secretary
Perkins should be given chance to
explain her rulings on deportation
proceedings.
Representative Thomas contended
in his resolution that the Labor De-
partment was derelict in its duty
because it suspended deportation
proceedings against Harry Bridges,
c. I. o. West Coast leader.
Waiting on Supreme Court.
The department has asserted that
it was compelled to defer action
against Mr.. Bridges until the Su-
preme Court decided in another case
whether membership in the Com
munist party was in itself adequate
grounds for deportation of an alien.
Mr.. Thomas asserted that Mr..
Bridges was a member of the Com
munist party, which advocated
overthrow of the United States Gov
ernment by force and violence. and
was therefore legally deportable.
The committee heard Mr.. Thomas,
behind closed doors, explain his
charges and submit new evidence
yesterday.
Afterward, Representative Celler,
Democrat, of New York, member,
said he believed the committee
should exonerate the Secretary.
"As far as can judge, the charges
should be summarily dismissed" Mr..
Celer said. There has not been pre-
sented a scintilla of evidence to supp
port them"
Reilly Denies Charges.
The committee refused informally,
however, to vote Immediately on a
motion to kill the resolution. A
member reported he made this pro-
posal, but was induced to withdraw
it.
Mr.. Thomas said he had placed
before the committee IL cases of al
legged failure of the Labor Depart
ment to take definite action" in
alien Communist deportation pro-
ceedings in the Detroit, Mich, area
He said he had informed the COM
inittee it could learn of other in
stances by communicating with po-
lice departments in several big cities.
which he declined to name.
Mr.. Reilly, named in the impeach-
ment resolution with Miss Perkins
and James L. Houghteling, commits
sioner of migration, appeared be-
fore the committee for the second
consecutive day to explain the de-
partment's procedure in the Bridges
case.
Mr.. Reilly denied Mr.. Thomas
charge that the record in the
Strecker proceeding was faulty and
that the Government had appealed
weak" case to protect Mr.. Bridges.

The legislatures judiciary com mittee Is expected to submit a fav- orable report next week on bill by Senator Albert Coles, Bridgeport Democrat, calling for the legaliza- tion of bingo. The bill seems almost certain of passage in the senate, but face rough going in the house, due to pressure by ministers groups.
 Senator Coles bill calls for strict supervision of bling games and al- lows each town in the state to for bid the game If public sentiment is shown to be against 1t.
 Senators Edward P. Egan and George T. Culhane of Waterbury favor the. legalizing of bingo when the game is conducted for the bene- fit of churches or charitable or serv. ice organizations, and when the prizes offered are in merchandise oi less than $25 value.
 Adoption of the bill would enc bootleg" bingo which now is thriv' ing in many parts of the state. Tn, game, the Judiciary committee wa! told at a hearing Thursday, can no be halted and several city official declared that they would Hook tn, other way" if told of bingo games if operation by such organizations @, volunteer firemen and church so' cieties.
 Small town sentiment against tho bill is being built up by ministers the W. o. T. U. and other groups A favorable report on the bill, how ever, will give 1t fair chance oi passage in the lower house.

Traffic Committees
 Work Reduced Rates
Police Departments Campaign Also Cited as Reason
 for Cut in Insurance Assessments Report Filed

Bridgeport, New Haven and Hart ford.
 "During 1892 and 1886, the base rates charged for liability and pro- perty damage were STA for small pleasure cars and $87 for larger cars. The rates now for this same classification of cars are $45. In ad- dition there is a IS per cent re- duction at the end of the policy year If the policyholder has a clear acc cident record. Insurance rates for trucks and garages also have been materially reduced"
 After commenting the Waterbury Citizens Traffic Safety committee and the police department MT. Segur states that following the appoint ment of the committee by the Mayor, considerable time was need- ed for study and technical examina- ton and the educational work to which the Waterbury newspapers gave immeasurable cooperation.
 Detailed Report
 MT. Segur reports that in the fall of 1886 he gave the national bureau of Casualty and Surety Under writers detailed report of the com. mittee's work, and made request that Waterbury be given a re. duction in automobile insurance rates. Despite the fact that at the time the losses had not been re. duced sufficiently to warrant this reduction, the national bureau decided to give Waterbury a lower rate by $20 in 1887 because of the efficient work of he Waterbury Citizens Traffic Safety committed and the committees promise te continue the safety program.
 The National Bureau is com. posed of 45 of the largest stock in- surance companies. They pool theii experiences, that is, premiums against losses, for making rates According to MT. Segur, anything that Is averageable is insurable SC in taking the experience of the largest stock insurance companies the National Bureau is in a posi-. ton to secure an accurate picture oi losses.
 City Fortunate
 In concluding his report, MT. Sc. gylr said, Waterbury has been very fortunate in having secured the co. operation of the National Bureau ir the local endeavor for greater safe. ty on the streets and highways oi the Waterbury area. and this coupled with the remarkable re. duction in accidents, has made DOS. sible the excellent statistics from the safety viewpoint of this conn mittee." The report gives higt praise not only to the committed and Police department, but also te the public for their cooperation.

Smith was given especial praise in the House of Representatives Tues day by Rep. Ewing Thomson, of Texas, who remarked concerning the military appropriation bill:
 There are one or two other things l would like to mention. One is in connection with personnel, another the Panama Canal, and another the educational orders. The latter subject, educational orders, l am going to leave to our colleague from Connecticut (Mr. Smith, who has done more than ony other per- s0n I know of to build up this sen- timent, for educational orders.
 Constructive Work
 q hope the people in New Eng land and in his district appreciate the very fine and constructive work he has done in this matter of educational orders. of jigs and dies and things like that, so that we will be prepared in the event of any kind of an emergency" (Applause) The bill, calling for some $32,000,- 3O0 more for educational orders by which manufacturers will under take special government jobs in connection with armament supplies, and for the large appropriation for additional military equipment, arm- ament and airplanes, was passed by Q vote of 367-i5.
 Supporting the bill, Cong. Smith remarked in part:
 MT. Smith of Connecticut Mir. Chairman, the gentleman who just preceded, me mentioned the situation we were in at the time of the last war in regard to equip- ment in France, and I think that brings up perhaps the most im- portant part of this whole pro- gram. It is not a specacular part of our program, such as the air defense part of 1t, but 1t is some- thing that is essential to prepared ness, and that is the furnishing of the equipment for our troops. In this program the Army has lad out Q proposition to furnish equipment for what they call the initial protetective force, the force that they would call upon first to defend this country if attacked.

TO share any public property isl a privilege. Proof that sharing, the highway is . privilege is found in the fact that you can be de-, barred from it as driver. Your license to share 1t can be re- voked."
 A Privilege
 Any license implies a privilege It also implies that the holder is permitted to undertake some activity that might become a pup-i lie menace if not subjected to off ficial control. This is true Of the drivers license. Licensing auto mobile drivers Is not merely a whim of officials. It is not pri- marily e source of public income. { Its chief purpose Is to set up and control certain driving standards by experience to be for the pub- lie good. A license is a badge of integrity" @
 "When 1t is clear that . license is for the purpose of granting Q privilege and that 1t promises that the holder is c person of training, experience, competence, and trust; then 1t is equally clear that in- competence, carelessness, ana recklessness should be sufficient grounds for canceling the license and recalling the privilcse.
 "A driver is closely identified with his machine. He decides what the machine will do; and directs what 1t will do. As fine an engineering product hs the automobile is, and as capable as 1t is of almost incredible feats of power, 1t is no more conscious, accountable, or responsible than e puppet. pulled by a string. lt is never 6 sedan or q roadster that kills, injuries, or causes property damage; 1t is always John Jones or Mary Smith. the driver, disre- garding his driver responsibilities failing to signal, driving too fast for conditions. cutting in. using the wrong side Of the read. or committing some error of driving judgment" ft
 Common Sense
 Therefore the privilege granted when a license Is given to . driver would be looked upon always as 6 test of c persons Judgement and common senSe."
 "The fit know how to use priv- ilege: the unfit merely misuse V. It's use is also very good meas uring stick of maturity. The proper use of privilege is one very reliable indication that childness has been put aside and the grown up responsibility has been achieved"
