AID OF PRESS SOUGHT IN'W. W. CARTER, JR., HUNT Rich Ynuth‘r M‘{S:ng Several Weeks—Car Found in Washing- ton Garage. ma 1991 and ASHEVILLE. N. (.. March 9— Private detective agencies who have for weeks been conducting a quiet search for W. W. Carter, jr., wealthy son of the president of the Carter Construction Company, a Northern firm which is doing large construction here, today admitted they were baffled. Young Carter disappcared on the morning of February 14. and later his car was found in a Washington, D. C., garage, but no further trace of the missing man has been discov. ered. Relatives had hoped to conduct a successful search, but despaired and last night sought the assistance of the press. The aid of the local police was sought several weeks ago by private detectives who located Carter's car in a garage here and also established the fact that for a time he resided at a hotel in this city. The Washington authorities, however, cou!d not locate the man here, and although a lookout has been kept for him, it is firmly believed he has left the city. The man’s disappearance,, according to the private detectives, followed his dis. covery -in compromising circum. stances. Rail Bill Is Rushed.

Being diseatisfied with the hill amending the District traffic act in the form that it passed the House ye: terday. Traffic Director Eldridge a nounced today that he would appear hefore the Senate District committee and fight zorous!y for the restora- tion of those omitted provisions which of utmost importance. ions in the original bill, held hy Mr. Eldridge to be of major importance, were stricken out by the House. One gives 2 new definition for reckless driving, another provides increased penalty for first-offense speeding and the third provides for the consolidation of the prosecution of traffic cases in ane office, either the corporation counsel's office or the office of the United States attorney. The definition for reckless driving which Mr. Eldridge hopes to have ored in the bill, follows: *No idual shall drive any vehicle v public highway recklessly rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper, having due regard to the width of the highway, the use thereof or the trafic thereon or in a manner to endanger any per. son_ or property.” The penalty for ing now ranges from wants orea from 25 1o 3300, Offenses inst the traffic act at present such as second offense reck less driving. third offense speeding and driving while drunk are prose- cuted by the I'nited States attorney's office while the corporation eounsel's oftice prosecutes the other. Mr, Eldridge believes that only one of these offices should handle all traffic cases and &0 provided in the origi draft of the new traffic bill, but the House saw fit to eliminate this pro- vision.
