Trafiic Bureaa Indorsed. “We praise the action of the Com- installed a cen- bureau in the police | atedly recom- | d of Trade, but| e bureau as only a start| ht direction toward trafiic tic entire District of Co- lumbix. ‘This committee believes that the traffic bureau and the entire police department are undermanned. Funds odern traflic control equipment, h as block signals, lighted beacon and for painting cross- and direc markers should be provided by Congress. “This commitice calls attention to tho fact that i only through the public-spirited generosity of Mr. Jonn Hays Hammond, who donated $5.000 for the purpose, that the pres- ent safety lines are painted on our streets. Citizens should not be ex- pected to do at their own expense what our government has falled to Qo to safeguard lives In the city of Washington. . “The traffic force should be doubled and the inspector In charge of trafiic should have the assistance of at least two lieutenants on traffic only. Mod- ern motor cycles and automobiles should be provided to cope with the cars driven by violators, Trafic officers should be picked, trained men, receiving a higher rate of pay than patrolmen. “At present the traffic squad is but; the stepping stone for many men to the regular force, and recruits for the | trafic squad are from civil fife and beglnners in police work, assuming | their duties without sufiicient train- ing or experience. Many of the older | traffic officers have become skilled at their work, but the small force of police avallable for a city of almost 450.000 persons has made It impos- sible to spend sufficient time In train- | ing new men. “The present system of paying traf- fic officers from funds collected from street raflways is obnoxlous and un- American and discriminatory, in ef- fect, on other users of the streets, They should be regular policemen | paid from the funds of the District of Columbia. Praise One-Way Streets. “We congratulate and praise the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia for keeping in effect the one- way streets, as originally proposed by the Washington Board of Trade. In spite of demands of those not ing the object of the most exped! tious handling of the constantly in- creasing motor vehicle traffic in mind they have refused to abandon the plan which prevented chaos on our streets during the Shrine convention. “Your committee believes that a very large majority of the 100,000 drivers and owners In Washington are In favor of one-way streets. One- way streets prevent traffic blockades, reduce danger to pedestrians, who have only one direction to watch In- stead of two: afford double the op- portunity to use an open parking space, permit merchants to load andjattract and hold men of the intelli- unload motor trucks which project into the street without stopping traf- fle, will handle a larger amount of traffic for the same width than two- way streets; they prevent turning around in the center of a block, at- tract drivers from streets with car tracks and more congested traffic, they are plainly marked and reduce fatal accidents. “We recommend establishment of four more one way streets east and west to expedite and make traf; fic to and from Union station, namely Eye street. west bound. from Mass- achusetts avenue to 16th street: H street, east bound, from 14th street to Massachusetts avenue; E street, west bound, from 5th street to 1ith street morthwest; D street, east bound, from 10th street to 5th street. “We deeply regret the record of the District Commigsioners on the follow- ing points: First, their failure to make even a trial of one hour park- ing uniformly enforced in the re- stricted dlatrict, instead of thirty- minute parking, which Is spasmodi- cally enforced on’ selected streets, while certain citisens leave their cars for hours at a time 4t the same place every day undisturbed. This recommendation was made unanimous report of a speclal park- ing committee appointed by the Com- missloners to study the traffic prob- lem, ganizations. “It is the opinion of your committee y-minute parking limit is |argued that the public-spirited ciui-|ers are pouring jinto the castle Untals % this time, that It d0cs not |sens of the city cannot give proper|seFvants are-beginning to show Arri- permit’ sufficient " time for shopping,|support to the school program unless|tation over the numl to the great|cffect at this t with lamps so! regulations are not ! ! biles. , “Wo believe additional legal cross- walks should be ereated in the ®enter | of all long blocks, where pedestrians may cross with greater safety than at | street intersections. We believe a method of handling pedestrians at |street intersections ean be adopted which will insure safety to those who desire to be protected. There is no definite plan of uniform training in to protect pedes- ! trians. “We belleve that arterial highways | ishould be designated for an unimped- | ed movement “of traffic under the | | bouievard stop system, where all ve- {hicies would ston before entering {or crossing. and that a reasonable in- lcrease in speed would be safe under Isuch a system. We recommend a maximum speed | {limit of twenty-five miles per hour in | ‘he District of Columbla subject to | ¥rest at any speed If operating in a 2 8s manner. We favor the abol« shment of other detalled speed regu- {lations which thousands of tourists | have no means of knowing. { “We fuvor an impounding law to assist In enfereing a reasonable one- | { hour parking limit by sealing with & {1ock where found. when left over the parking limit, or removing if neces- sary an automobile parked at a fire plug. until the legal fmpounding fee is pald at a police station “We recommend that Congress be | asked to pass a law regulating pedes- trians to legal cross-walks and defin. | Ing the responsibilities and liabilitles of motorists and pedestrians at inter- sections and between intersecting streets. “We praise the District Commission- lers and those members of Congress who have been actlve in trying to se- cure reciprocity in the use of automo- bile licenses between Maryland and | the District of Columbia. We recom- mend the adoption of & two-cent-per- gallon tax on motor Suels used In mo- tor vehicles and a nominal charge of 31 per automobile per annum for | license plates in Meu of all other license and personal taxes on motor vehicles to equalize to that extent the gasoline and license taxes of Mary- land. ! “We urge an immediate campaign | with all the publ we can obtain to se the favorable action of Con- rre 500N A8 it assembles to pass ch a law to become effective Janu- y 1, 1924, and end once and forever the unnatural and expensive automo- bile war between Maryland.and the District of Columbla. We are assured of reciprocity by the Governor of | Maryland if this can be accomplished. Favor Loading Platforms. “We favor the Installation of load- | ing platforms or safety zones to pro- tect the street-car-riding public, and believe these safety zones shouid be established at all points of heavy traffic. “Your committee recommends the widening of the followingz streets: “E street, from 5th to 14th; “10th street, from F street Massachusetts avenue; “12th street, from New York avenue to Massachusetts avenue; ““13th street, from F street to Massa- chusetts avenue. “15th street, from New York avenue to K street. “Your committee recommends that the regulation permitting the licens- | Ing of pushcart vendors be repealed as a man-propelled pushcart const tutes an obstruction to traffic in the street In the congested district. 'We also request action on the part | of the police or a regulation which will compel action to prevent chil- dren with toy wagons coasting or traveling in the streets. “We call attention to the fact that trafc rules are continually violated by persons riding bicycles without in- terference by the police. “We urge the passage of an auto- moblle registration and title law similar to that of Maryland and other states. “We recommend the creation of 2 traffic court presided over by judges | who speclalize In traffic cases, and believe that all departments of the District government having to do with public safety, including the courts, should be housed in a sulta- ble_bullding. i “To sum up, the faults with traflic control are fundamental and the rem- | edies are also fundamental. The re- | sponsibility for any change which is; not o' makeshift is squarely and solely up to Congress. Congress must provide the law and the money nec- essary to correct traffic conditions or they cannot be corrected. Upon Con- | ess alone can be placed the re- sponsibility for inadequate personnel, | for that body only can provide the | money necessary; first, to supply an adequate number of police officers and men; second, to make the sal- arles of the police large enough to tof gence and ability necessary success- fully to carry on this most important branch of police duty. “Until Congress fulfills these impor- | tant obligations it is necessary that existing agencies be used as efficlent- 1y as possible. “Your committee requests adoption fof this report, with instructions to present your findings before Congress | and the District Commissioners.” i signing the report were: W. Pearce Rayner, chalrman; Theodore P. Noyes, J. B. Gregs_Cusils, Charles Waters, William H. Lanham, Alexander Brit- ton and Willlam Luckett. —_— SEEK SCHOOL PARLEY.

BERLIN DISCLAIMS GIVING EX-KAISER * AUTHORITY TO GO BACK TO GERMANY (Continued from First Page.) He was day in deliberate effort to mislead. frea io come, however, a the week beginning Monda. Not at Potsdam. The Prussian government today re- ceived reports from its sples that the prince was not at Potsdam. It also belfeves that he is not in Berlin. But the mystery as to where he is still remains unsolved. In the agreement which the prince personally signed with the Prussian government, which has the sole legal authority over his stay on Prussian soil. he solemnly promised to go di- rectly to his estate at Oels. avoiding Berlin and Potsdam. Accordingly, If the prince has not slipped into his castle at Oels—which seems impos- sible In view of the army of reporters and government agents who are watching_the castle day and night— | he already has broken his promise. The correspondent of The Star and the Chicago Daily News at Oels tele- phoned at 11 o'clock today that the crown prince positively rived there and that t to his whereabouts w Castle officials, who on Sund freely about preparations to welcome the master home, now will not say a word save to profess complete ign ance as to the prince’s movements All preparations for his reception have been put off until he actually ar- rives. The {mpression grows at Oels that he Is deliberately hiding in the vicinity of Oels. In Berlin the left parties already Lave started a movement to demand | cancellation of the prince’s permit to enter the country, on the'ground that he has violated its terms. Whatever the truth as to the prince’s present whereabouts. it would be wrong to suppose that his return appeals to the rmans as a dramatic event like The general atti- tude i3 one of mild curiosity, even of coolnes. Prince Is Defended. The Deutsche Zeitung, one of the most outspoken of the monarchist papers, specially read by old army officers and other hundred per cent- ers, prints an article by its chief po- litical writer, Max Maurenbrecher. containing the surprising charge that the prince had been “verjudet” or “be-jewed.” Maurenbrecher declares that the prince, when he started his book-—being unable to write It him- self—gave it to a Jew to write, and that the Jew slipped in quantities of Jewish propaganda. This was Karl Rosner, the former kaiser's favorite war correspondent, who used to send majestic dispatches from Verdun concerning the crown prince’s invincible bravery. Mauren- brecher especially resents the state- ment in the prince’s book that all German citizens are equal in his eves, whether they be Jews or Christians. Maurenbrecher's complaint may sound merely funny, but such talk is extremely effective as propaganda in the present state of German po- litical thought. or, rather, frenzy. The real reasons for the opposition of monarchist officers and politicians to the crown prince are perhaps two: First, that the prince has an inglo: ous military record—he failed ~mi: ernbly at Verdun after sacrificing hundreds of thousands of German Itves, and ran away from danger. like his father, when the revolution came; second, he is the subject of a malti- tude of unsavory anecdotes which shock millions of straight-laced Ger- man hausfraus, who now have the vote.
