NEW YORK, August 11 () — Evelyn Jacquelin Hobbs, 18-year-old | society girl, who disappeared from her home in her brother’s hiking clothes, is back after an absence of nearly | two days. Miss Hobbs, hale and hearty, said she left Saturday morning because she was tired of belng cooped up with a nurse and wanted a moment's free dom. While her father, Elon S. Hobbs, lawyer and president of the Iron and Steel Board of Trade, instituted a wide rch, she was spending the | week end with a friend a few blocks | from the Hobbs Park avenue apart ment. “It was all a joke,” she ex- I plained. I was merely tired of being | cooped up in an apartment with an |anxious nurse constantly at my heels.” PEDESTRIANRULES MEET FIRST TEST Contro! System Tried Today { to Bring Left-Turn | Ban. The first systematic attempt to re | quire pedestrians to walk with the | traffic signals was put into operation {at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue this morn and was charac { terized a success by officials of the | District who observed the inaugura |tion of the plan After watching the system during the morning rush, the traffic heads concluded that the only factor which interfered with the smooth operation of the scheme was the making of left hand turns by vehicles Acting Traffic Director Moller an. nounced that, beginninz this after noon. left-hand turns will be prohibit ed from 8 to 9:15 a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m., at Fourteenth street and Penn. sylvania avenue. Col. Moller and In spector E. W. Brown of the Police Traffic Bureau said that if elimination of the left:-hand turn at that intersec- tion proves satisfactory, it may be prohibited during rush hours at all in- tersections on Pennsylvania avenue from Sixth to Fifteenth streets. Five Policemen Used. At each of the four corners a uni formed policeman stood with out stretched arms and held the pedes trians back while trafic was moving against them. When the officer at the semaphore was ready to make a change he blew one blast on his whistle and vehicles that had not yet started across stopped at the cross walk | The officer then left an interval |long enough for machines and pedes | trians in the middle of the street to | clear the intersection. Then he sounded two blasts on bis whistle and turned the “Go™ sign. releasing ve hicles und pedestrians in the other di rection. The effect of this 1 that pedestrians were not dodging their way acro the street while a stream of vehicles was bearing down on them from hoth sides. Because of the unusual width of Pennsylvania avenue Inspector Brown had small safety zones painted on each side of the c4r tracks in the middle of the street, where the pedestrians paused when he found he could not make the whole journey from curb_to.curb .on one signal. Occasionally a Govérnment clerk hiking gingerly toward the intersec: tion and thinking only of getting to the office on time, stepped off the curb as usual. The arm of the police man at the curb loomed in front of arrangement was to walt for the “Go” sign. Had he gone on as he would have done on any other morning, the pedestrian would have found himself zig-zagging his way through a sea of fenders and bumpers. One Man Forgets, But— One walker who apparently did not grasp the fdea of what the police were attempting to do, started on the Of course, there was an occasional pedestrian caught offside, especially at a few minutes before 9 o'clock, when { the walkers had little time to reach { the office. But Inspector Brown and . Moller said they had not hoped to find everybody familiar with the | scheme the first morning. | When the officers at the corners | were not busy stopping a stray pedes. | trian from getting away at the wrong time, they were urging the moving | traffic to speed up and clear the inter section. Pedestrians Speeded Up. There seemed to be a disposition on | the part of some of the pedestrians to | move leisurely across when the right | of way was given them. The officers | also shouted a friendly appeal to the | walkers to “make it snappy” as they started acros: Commissioner Frederick A. Fenning, who supervises police and traffic prob- lems, stood for 15 minutes and watched the plan in operation. He agreed with Col. Moller and Tnspector Brown that the making of left-hand turns by vehicles was tending to slow up the smooth operation of the scheme. Inspector Brown voiced the belief that if the plan can be made to work satisfactorily at Fourteenth and Penn- sylvania avenue it should be accom- plished even at other downtown crossings are not nearly so wide. Another factor which makes Fourteenth and Pennsylvania avenue a more difficult crossir ¥ is the diagonally from E street to Four- teenth street. Inspector Brown believes that after a few days the great army of walkers become thoroughly familiar with what the police are trying to do and follow the signs without admonition. A curious crowd of persons, who ap- parently were in no hurry to get across, stood along the curb lnes and watched the energetic movements of [the police as they sought to bring about harmonious movement of both vehicular and pedestrian travel. Some of these onlookers indicated that they were at a loss to know what was going on at first. Portuguese Premier Injured.

L. Lambright of Tampa. Fla., head of the Florida delegation to the last Democratic national convention and a close friend of Mr. Bryan. Only in this way could Mr. Lam- bright explain the.differences be- tween Mr. Bxyan's estimate of his : estate as less than $500,000 in April in a letter to Mr. Lambright and the $860,000 estate disposed of by his will. Mr. Lambright is now in New York on business. One of Mr. Bryan's friends at the Dayton trial, he said, informed him that Mr. Bryan had told him that when he went to Florida in 1912 he bought a residence, Viila Serena, surrounded by two acres of land, and sold it seven years later for §250,000, realizing a profit of about $200,000. That was his first real estate investment and it aroused his interest in this field of business activity. When Mr. Bryzan was said to be worth .$1,000,000 last spring, he heard the report and wrote to Mr. Lambright that he was worth less than half that sum. CAILLAUX PLANS TOCOMETOU.S, French Finance Minister May Present “Gentleman’s Offer” Here. PARIS, August 10 (#).—Finance Minister Caillaux told American cor- respondents today that he desires very much to go to Washington to | present what he called a “‘gentleman’s offer” for the settlement of the war debt which France owes to the United States. “I certainly would go if it was a question merely of crossing the chan- nel, but the Atlantic is a different proposition, and I do not know whether 1 can leave the ministry of finance long enough to make the trip to America,” he said. Offer Explained. The finance minister explained his gentleman's offer as follows: “I am going to tell both the British and the Americans just what France can pay, and that France will pay it, but that it is impossible for me to undertake payments likely to turn out to be beyond the capacity of the coun- oy Reviewing the different phases of nis financial program, M. Caillaux ex plained that the measures already adopted and those in view constituted the first step, but a very prudent step, toward the eventual return of France to the gold basis. ““The French budget for 1925 only partially accomplished the end in view. It was balanced as far as state ex-| There | penditures were concerned. remains to be provided in the 1926 budget a sinking fund for debts; then, providing we shall have succeeded in eliminating the floating debt from our | financial difficulties, the way will open more clearly to final financial equili- brium and eventual return to the gold basis.” » Going to London. "\ M. Caillaux said he intended to go to™London soon to confer with Win- ston Bhurchill, chancellor of the ex chequer, megarding the French debt to Great Britaln, but that the date was not fixed. . | He said the members of the French commission to go to Washington to meet the American debt furiding com mission probably would be soon. The gold coupon consolidation was going well, the minister said, and he had little apprehension regarding the heavy short-term obligations maturing in_September. The expenses incurred for military operations in Morocco he estimated at 200,000,000 francs, though all of this sum had not yet been spent. He placed the total cost of the operations in the neighborhood of 250,000,000 francs if the campaign was termi- nated soon. WOMAN HIT BY CAR. Mrs. C. M. Updegraff, 30, of 2229 Bancroft place, was slightly injured today when knocked down at 12th and G streets by an automobile operated by John R. Love, 23, of 630 F street northeast, according to.a police report. Mrs. Updegraff was taken to Emer- gency Hospital, where she remained in the restroom for a short time, after which it was determined that her in- juries were not serious. She then went home. Police said that the brakes on the automobile operated by Love would be- tested to ascertain whether they were in proper working order.

While official figures’ are not yet available here, there is t0 longer any doubt but that 1925 will outstrip ail its predecessors in the metter of auto mobile deaths. This stufe of affairs 15 said not to be due so 4nuch to in creased recklessness in the handling of cars, but to increased) traflic on country roads and city streets. Motor ists’ assoclations having ieir head quarters in Washington iusist that traffic is better regulated \his year than ever before, and aiso assert that the skill of licensed drivers i\ more in eviderce, but thus far no meajns have been devised of dealing with \the un- precedented number of new nmchines and new operators, Already in the District of CoMurabia several thousand more machines have been registered this year than fdr the entire year of 1924, and the Heavy registration season is still to cpme. The same condition is said to be §true in the various States Travel Breaks All Records. There never has been a Summer like the present one for tourists. The roads are fairly black with thewn Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce, returning recently from a trip through the West, said that he: w automobile campers everywhere he same reports come from the say their business from overnight tourists this year is more than double that of a year ago. Improved road conditions, prosperity the people as a greater of whole. “easy money,” and the increasing de for a “vacation"—all are accounted as factors in the heavy auto travel to be observed everywhere. August is the real vacation month in the United States, and the railroads are reporting heavy travel on their lines in all directions. The increase of train “tripping,” however, has not kept pace with the multiplication of vehicles on the roads. The latter traffic is resulting in far more accidents than were recorded irx 1924 and the toll of deaths is mounting daily. There are not only the deaths of pedestrians caused by automobil ists, but the appalling toll being taken of the riders themselves. Despite all the precautions and warnings at grade crossings the tide of death in this type of crash is running steadily at the flood % Reckless driving still is apparent on roads ever here The most zing thing the authorities have to I with in policing the roads is the persistence with which some drivers insist upon driving on the wrong side th rtling and discour aging ist is one fault which seemingly could be remedied ght by the motorists themselves.

States and counties have made an effort to pile up mileage in road construction and in this way have made their highways as narrow as possible so as to string them out as long possible with the same ‘The unwisdom of last, and widening work is in process in many localities. But no matter what the width of the road, certain drivers will_drift just as certainly and just as disastrously to the wrong side as a moth hovers about a flame. State traffic authorities are just about at their wits’ ends to handle the horde of Summer motorists. They say the most discouraging thing in the world is to read the daily records of new car outputs. Where all the machines are going no one can say. There is bound to be a limit some- where.
