In an effort to conserve human life and protect the city streets, Inspector Charles A. Evans, acting superin tendent of police, has directed t enforcement of the regulation against overloading motor trucks In two instances of arrests the past few days it was shown that one had load of 4 tons, while the bout 3 tons too heavy. Arrests have been ordered in cases in which the net load is gre: than the manufacturer's rated cay city, it being explained that suc ceses mean the possibility of brakes failing to properly function in cases of emergency Sergts. Boyle and Terry of the traffc | bureau are giving particular atten tion to enforcement of the regulation, and three arrests have been made by | them. It is Inspector vans' inten tion to prosecute the owners and not the drivers of trucks found heavier | than provided in the regulation | Two loadmeters, loaned the police by | Bureau of Standard offici are being used to determine weights. They are carried in the sidecars of the motor | cycles of the sergeants, making it pos. sible to determine weights on the streets. In Traffic Court vesterday two cases | were heard, and the court gave its approval to police efforts by imposing a fine of $30 in each case. TO VIEW ELECTROCUTION, | METHODS AT SING SING Engineer Will Study System Pre- paratory to Inauguration as Sub- str stitute for Hanging in District. In order to comply with the direc tion of Congress that electrocution be substituted for hanging in Washing- | ton, Warren B. Hadley, electrical en gineer of the District, has gone to Sing Sing Prison, New York, to study the equipment of an electric chair When he returns he will prepare specifications and ask electrical con tractors to bid for the job of setting | up the necessary apparatus at the | District Jail. | According to George S. Wilson, sec retary to the Board of Charities, it is | necessary for the District to prepare detailed specification for the installa- tion because of the difficulty of hav- ing the apparatus designed by elec trical firms. | It is Mr. Wilson's plan to have the | installation made in such a way that in between executions the chair can be disconnected and stored away, rath- er than have it always on view at the Jail. Courses in cotton cultivation and grading and special methods in in- dustrial teaching, open to mill super intendents s well as teachers, are of- fered in the Summer school at Clem- son College. 8. ¢ B, RY Afl" ‘Wmm a fitting climax to a perfect Holiday— After the outing--trip or festivities of the day —DINE AND DANCE on La Paradis’ Roof. el No more enjoyable surroundings or music could be possible—to say nothing of the cuisine. epefecfori Phone Main 4336 for Reservations Dancing From 7 P.M. 1o MeyerDavis’ adis Pa Porcher, is the guest of Mrs. Blodgett. $200,000 Given By Duke to Negro College in South J.
