Without safety zones, he said, the speed of automo- bile traffic is regulated solely by the speed of the street cars on account of the regulation prohibiting motor- ists from passing standing street cars. He suggested that some new system might Ue fnaugurated by the street car companies to facilitate the collecting of fares so that the length of time consumed in stopping and starting might be lessened. He also suggested “staggered hours™ for government clerks s0 as to relieve conjestion in the morning and evening. Senator Ball, however, said that he did not think Congress Would adopt this plan. Mr. Kelcey strongly urged upon the committee the regulation which would require all motorists to report their accidents. In Connecticut, he a fine of $25 was levied on any rist who failed to do so, as the police were able to check up on these accidents whenever a motorist attempt- ed to have his car repaired. This regu- lation did much to stimulate careful driving. “I am a firm bellever In proper dis- cipline for motorists and pedestrians alike,” said Mr. Kelcey. “With each s moving in its proper channel, cidents are cut to the minimum/* Criticizes Pedestrians, In this connection Senator Ball re- marked that pedestrians do not rec- ognize traflic officers’ signals here the way they do in other cities.

The board gave to the president suthority to appoint standing and special committees for the ensuing year and also authority to arrange for the annual midwinter dinner. Secretary Carr proposed the estab- fishment in the hoard of a conven- tions bureau to foster the bringing of conventions to the Capital city. He belleved that the board should start the movement by attempting to sell the fdea to the merchants, expressing the bellef that it was a good business proposition. He sald that Washing- ton had no big Industries, and he thought that the board should start this as the big industry of Washing- ton. He did not believe it would be expensive, he sald. However, Odell Smith said that the hoard should face the matter square- 1¥, pointing out that it would be nec- essary to provide funds for many of these conventions, and that a great many come here for conventions ab- solutely without funds. After further discussion the entire matter was referred to the executive committee for study and report. President Colladay was given au- thority to name delegates to repre- wsent the board at the National Rivers und Harbors Congress. —_— HITLER REPORTED ILL.

Recent Munich dispatches reported that Hitler, who was one of ‘the ‘lead- ers of the separatist revolt, had been interned in the Landsberg fortress. Hitler was placed under special guards—veteran sergeants seleched for thelr powers of resistance to Hit- Jer's magnetic personality.

Red Cross Chapter unanimously adopted by the Board of Trade at its annual meeting. The re- port goes into every phase of traffic regulation and enforcement. Chief among the recommendations of the committee is that for the re- tention of one-way streets and the| addition of four more of this type of highway, to facilitate Union station travel. Mr. Rayner pointed out that one-way streets are safest because pedestrians have to look only in one direction; that they expedite trafiic because their capacity for handling | volume is almost double that of two- way streets, and that they provide th side of the street. He told the committee that many | of the regulations in force at the| present time were not adequately en- forced. Portions of this list follow: “The police, unless regularly as- signed to traffic duty, generally pass over traffic offenses because they do not care to spend the time in court. Mr. Rayner also pointed out that slow-moving vehicles do not keep to the right-hand turn; that the right| turn at intersections where traffic of- ficers are stationed is not being made by signal as the regulations require; that vehicles park abreast and are left unattended (n the congested sec- tions of the city; that there is much parking between street car loading platforms and the curb; that cars park in the reserved unloading space in the middle of the block, and that one-half hour was not a sufficient time for business to be conducted in the congested section. He strongly urged upon the committee the Imme- diate establishment of a one-hour ! parking limit. ‘WOULD HAVE AUTOS STOP. Representative Browne's Plan for Cars on Side Streets.

Door Is Barricaded, A woman with a baby carriage dashes past the writer into the sta- tion, but French troops bar the door: cutting off this means of escape, while platoons of troops take up the guard outside.

The unemployed had resisted the police with rocks, while the few that had firearms had seized a part of the Krupp works. QUIBBLE OVER WORDING. Allies Agreed on Note, But Not on Its Phraseology. By the Associated Press.

A board of appralsers has been appointed and Morse has agreed to ferences between the amount of the value they fix and the sum he re- celved from the Veterans' Bureau. The Senate committee is determined to wind up its public hearings today, S0 as to be able to submit its report tw Congress next month. ‘While much of the public investiga- — e unforeseen gbstacle interposed at the last moment. It was pointed out that the ques- tion was noav largely one of appro- priate phraseology in which to strike a mean between the two divergent viewpolints. along these lines: The proposed joint note to Ger- many will not be in the form of an ors' ultimatum, nor will it give the Ger- mans & time limit within which they must comply with the allied condi- tions. Neither will it demand a formal reply. It will be mainly in the character of a firm, peremptory notice to Berlin that the allies in- tend to inaugurate allled Inspection of German armaments fin certain chosen areas still under the author- ity of the central government.

The committee was charged by the Senate with Inquiring into this phase of the situation, but its function nec- essarlly s limited to the gathering of evidence. The thought uppermost in the minds of the committeemen, as they explain it, is to sce that full justice is done to both the disabled veterans of the world war and to the govern- ment, and that there is a busin like administration of this, the most refund any dif-1costly and one of the largest of all of the government departments.

CONGRESS MIGHT PASS SOLDIER BONUS IF ALLIES PAY DEBT DUE AMERICA (Continued from First Page.) gone on record at its convention as \pproving the French occupation of the Ruhr. is regarded highly in France, The American Legion is ac- | tively working for a bonus for its members to be paid by the American government. If the American Legion could be persuaded to use its influence With tne French government to help et the interest on :nch debt to America 1 1e nCongress would be in @ position at once to fa- vor both a bonus and the proposed Mellon plan for tax reduction. Mr. Mellon has estimated that a bonus would in the long run cost about $5,000,000,000, and the Ameri- can Legion has insisted that the an- nual outlay would be only about $200,000,000. This Is approximately the interest on the allied debt, irre- spective of Great Britain's payments. The RBritish are paying into the American Treasury interest of about $125,000,000 a year. 1t sums like this could be obtained from France and Italy, who together owe the United States about five bil- licns of dollars, the bonus problem could easily be solved, either by a bond issue or by actual provision in the annual budget here Senator Smoot, chairman of the Sen- ate finance committee, is a member of the world war debt funding commis- sion. He is pressing for some action that will remind the allies of their ob- ligations. He realizes no doubt that at the coming session of Congress and also in the next cimpalgn, he will be asked, as will be the republican party, which alone is represented on the com- mission, just what prosress has been made toward the collection of war debts.
