Dr.. Green Leaves Estate
Valued af 100000

An estate valued at more than
100000 was left by the late Rev.
Thomas Edward Green, former
director Of the speakers bureau OF
the American Red Cross, a petition
for the probate of his will, filed in
District Court, disclosed.
Filed yesterday through Attorneys
Arthur Peter and w. H. Baden, the
petition advised the court that debts
of the estate would total about
$500. The will was dated November
"a. 1896. DR.. Green died January "a.
The will bequeathed to DR.. Green's
sister, Janet M. Green of Chicago,
IS 5000, and, after making a specific
bequest of $4,000 to his daughter
Mrs. Eleanor Green Goodell of
Wayzata. Mimi, DR.. Green also left
the daughter all of the remainder OF
his estate. Washington Loan a.
Trust Co. was named executor.
DR.. Green officially retired from
the American Red Cross in 1886, al
though he retained an Office at ma
tional headquarters. A world wide
traveller, he was known interna-
tionally as an author and lecturer.

dicate that stricter enforcement Of
the regulations Is needed In the out
lying areas, Mr.. Van Duzer declared.
The traffic directors optimism is
tempered, however, by the observa-
ton that motorists are not giving
full cooperation in making the
pedestrian protection program an
unqualified success.
Pedestrian observance counts
made at locations outside the con-
gested district disclosed that of those
starting on green lights 1879 per
cent suffered interference from mo-
tor vehicles making right or left
turns.
A similar percentage of motorists
interfered with pedestrians crossing
on the proper signal in the down.
town area, Mr.. Van Duzer added.
Preliminary Educational Period.
Perhaps a higher. percentage of
pedestrian observance Of the regu-
lations, together with a further de-
crease in pedestrian injuries, would
result from more strict enforcement
of the pedestrians right of way when
crossing on a proper signal and a
"crack down on the motorists fail
ing to yield the right of way, Mr..
Van Duzer intimates in his article.
Reviewing the steps by which
pedestrian control regulations were
finally adopted, the traffic director
emphasizes the importance of the
preliminary educational period in
obtaining cooperation from the
public.
This period included newspaper
articles, radio talks, special sound

In April, 1896, three years before
the regulations were put into effect.
only 81 per cent of II, 1888 pedestrians
observed at typical downtown in
tersection crossed on green lights,
while 30.4 per cent endangered life
and limb by crossing against red
lights.
A substantial increase, however, is
noted in August. 1899, five months
after adoption of the regulations.
Out of 9,591 pedestrians checked,
with no police officer present, 85.3
per cent obeyed green lights, while
only 11.2 per cent disregarded red
lights.
Further improvement is indicated
when police officer is present. In
this survey 928 per cent of 1880
pedestrians checked obediently
crossed on green lights. with a. per
cent crossing against red lights.
OF 5,28l pedestrians checked in
outlying districts CTS per cent OBJ
served green lights, while 1872 per
cent crossed against red lights.
In those cases where percentage
figures did not add up to 100 the
figures omitted pedestrians who
started across the intersections on
green and amber lights or were
caught in the middle of the inter-
section when the lights changed.
Stricter Enforcement Seen Needed.
Coupled with the smaller decrease
in pedestrian injuries for the entire
city as compared with figures for
the congested area, this would in

Van Duzer Sees Need
For Stricter Enforcement
In Outlying Sections

An optimistic picture of constant
ly decreasing pedestrian injuries in
Washington because of pedestrian
control regulations is drawn by Will
liam A. Van Duzer, director of vehi-
cles and traffic, in this months issue
of the magazine Public Safety.
BY means of statistical tables Mr..
Van Duzer demonstrates the ef-
fectiveness of the regulations in
placing the city on the path ito true
pedestrian protection"
The fact that observance by pedes-
trians of the regulations designed
for their protection pays dividends
is graphically illustrated in the table
showing the decrease of injuries to
pedestrians in the downtown area
in 1889 as compared with 1888.
The table reveals that downtown
pedestrian injuries dropped from 289
to 252, or 1873 per cent. A decrease
in the entire city from 1873 to 1,675,
or 6.6 per cent, also is shown.
