By the Associated Pres LONDON, July 30.—Great concern over the flood situation at Baroda is reported in special dispatches from Bombay. The region was inundated after heavy rains lasting several days, and while news has been received from Ahmedabad and other affected centers, the Daily Mail correspondent says that Boroda, about 240 mlles | north of Bombay, appears to have | been entirely cut off from the out-| side world since Monday by a sheet of watar 10 feet deep. i A late dispatch to Reuters from | Bombay states that railroad communi- cation to Baroda from the direction of Delhi has been restored, but gives no details Jveryhody is asking what happened there. Many rumors are current of great loss of life, but nothing has been received to substantiate them. The Bombay newspaper, Times of India, calls upon the government to arrange for an airplane survey of the Baroda area and takes the occasion to preach the necessity of radio com- munication throughout India. It em- phasizes that although Bombay is able to communicate with England by beam radio without difficulty, it can- not get in touch with Baroda, with its 100,000 inhabitants. A dispatch to the Daily Mail says there is anxiety over the Bombay steamer Irrawaddy, due at Karachi Wednesday, which has not been re- | ported. > Damages to the Bombay-Baroda Rail- roud probably amount to §1,000,000.

Appealing to its motor vehicle tors never to place speed ahead of safety and pointing out that, summed up, little time iz saved by ignoring s.op signs, cutting in, or falling to grant the right of way to others, one of the large oil companies with local representation has taken up in a national way The Star's cam- paign against caveless driving and reckless speeding on the part of driv- ers of commercial delivery cars, This employer is one of the largest Pennsylvania oil compani nd its exceptional letter on the subject of motor car operation has been sent out from its national headquarters {o its branches everywhere for distribution among its employes, Temperate in tone, convincing in its appeal and filled with sound advice, the conmpany’s letter sets a good ex- ample for other large employers and is well worth study by every automo bile driver, irrespective of classifica- tion. Playing Safe Urged. One infunction that well might be heeded by all drivers is that which rges the ol company’s operators to play safe, and let the other driver have the right of way if there is any question whatsoever, as to prece dence.” Naming four traf at most, might save 2 minutes in a day, the letter points out that in order to save this amount of time “vou will have to (1) endanger several lives, in cluding vour own; (2) take the chance of damaging two or more automobiles, and (3) violate traffic rules, for which you are liable to arrest.”” The pos sible saving in time is not worth the risk involved, states this well-thought- out document. Referring to the insurance carried on its vehicles and what to do in event of accident, the company re minds that charges of reckless or manslaughter brought against them are not covered by any insurance policy. “You, alone.” the letter points out, are responsible and may be subject to a heavy fine or imprisonment, or the loss of your driving license,” violation {that, Courtesy to Drivers, “We want you tn extend all possi- ble courtesy to drivers of other ve. les,” and “It is a_serious matter to re a person or to damage proper- tv,” are among the outstanding ob servations of the letter that are well worth the thought of drivers in gen- er e letter reads: lease remember that the truck you are operating is an expensive piece of machinery. We want you to operate it as you would a car of your own—conservatively, and with due re- gard for the rights and safety of others. Don't take chances—don't speed—and don’t allow yourself to fall into careless driving habits. Play safe! When there is any question whatsoever as to precedence, let the other driver have the right of way. Never place speed ahead of safety. When vou consider the matter care. fully you will find that little time fs ved on a trip by jumping traffic £ns, cutting in, or failing to grant the right of way or slow down when you sce children in the streets or on the sidewalks. Suppose you were to do any one of these things four times in one day, or all of them once in a day—you might possible save half a minute each time, or a total of two minutes a. day. Think what you will have to do, however, to effect this saving: You' will have to (1) endanger several lives (including your own), (2) take the chance of damaging two or more automobiles (the property of persons other than yourself), and (3) violate traffic rules (for which you are liable to arrest). The possible saving in time is not worth the risk involved. “We want you to extend all pos- sible courtesy to drivers of other vehicles. You are our representative while driving our truck. If you are discourteous to other drivers, or it you violate the rules of the road, you may offend one of our good customers and we may lose his business because of your act. The way in which you operate our equipment indicates to many persons the character and gen- eral policy of the company you rep- resent, and tho good will of the pub- lic is a tremendous asset. Warnings Are Listed. “Before pulling out from a curb, make surc that no car is coming from behind. Give a_ oper hand sig- nal before stopping, backing or mak- ing a turn. Keep your brakes, lights, horn and steering mechanism in good condition, and don’t operate your car if any of these parts are defective. Don't try to pass a car on a curve or a hill, nor at any other place where the view ahead s obstructed. “Under no conditions allow any one else to operate your truck. Don't in- vite persons to ride with you. This is a_ mistaken kindness, and if they are hurt they are quite likely to sue for damages. “Charges of reckless drivi slaughter brought against you ara not covered by any insurance policy. You alone are responsible and may be sub- ject to a heavy fine or imprisonment or the loss of your driving license. Please bear this in mind at all times. In addition to the cost of our in. surance (and you should remember that this increases in accordance with the increase in the number of acci- dents), there are other expenses asso- ciated with our trucking service which we cannot avoid paying. KFor example, in nearly every accident one of our own trucks is damaged and we must bear some part of the expense for re- pairs. Then, too, there are other “in- cidental” costs which involve the loss of use, lost time of the driver and of other employes, damaged contents of our trucks and delayed deliveries, re- sulting in canceled orders or dissat- isfled customers. - “It i3 a serious matter to Injure a person or to damage property and it causes much sorrow and distress of mind to all concerned, and especial- ly to the person who is responsible for the trouble. We ask and expect your earnest and sincere co-operation in the prevention of accidents.” BUS LINE BARS TOKENS. Straight 10-Cent Fare Effective at Midnight Tomorrow.

By the Associated Preas DETROIT, Mich., July 30.—Gov. Al hert C. Ritchie of Maryland, in De- troit yesterday en routs home from the governors’ conference at Mack- inac Island, made public a letter which revealed that he had declined an in- | vitation to a_debate on prohibition with Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti- Saloon League. The invitation, according to the gov- ernor, was extended by R. D, Hol- lister of the University of Michigan forum, in a letter last July 9. The | letter to Mr. Hollister, under date of July 19, said “I congratulate your great institu- tion upon its purpose to provide a neutral forum for the discussion of this perplexing national problem, and I feel sincerely complimented that you should think me worthy to par- ticipate. There are several reasons which In any event might prevent my ac- cepting your invitation, but I feel that in candor I ought to give you the one that makes it impossible for me to do so. Wheeler Pald Protagonist. While personally T believe our pro. hibition friends are taking the wrong tack and not only injuring the canse of true temperance but are also doing | harm to the very character and sub- stance of our Government, neverthe- , I recognize that thers are many and sincera men and women, for whom I have the utmost respect, who differ with me, and with whom it would bhe an honor to debate if I could arrange ft. “But to he entirely frank T cannot bring_myself to feel that way about Mr. Wheeler. He is the paid pro- tagonist of a cause, a professional propagandist, & special pleader pure and_simple. ““That is his privelege, of course, but T cannot conceive of him for one moment as seriously considering the views of his opponent, however sin. | cere, regarding any debate as an im- personal and disinterested effort to test out the truth, So far as I know He proclaims, dic- tates, abuses, threatens and collects. And, to my way of thinking, ‘Wheel- erism’ is coming to be a real menace in this country. “I am very deeply interested in the subject of prohibition, not hecause it involves a controversy between ‘wets’ | and ‘drys,’ but hecause it involves a | problem of American vernment and | [of civil liberty, and I would like to see some sane and sensible way out of the present wilderness evolved. But to Mr. Wheeler every one who is not with him is a ‘tool of the liquor inter- ests’ or an ‘enemy of society.’ Says Object Is Publicity. “For a long time now we have heen aring about this or that person de- bating prohibition with Mr. Wheeler. 1 have, of course, no word of criticism for any one who wishes to do that, but personally I can see no possible object in debating with hfm unless it be to give publicity to him or to his opponent. “I earnestly hope you will not mis construe this letter as indicating any thing less than the highest respect on my part for the object the University of Michigan has in mind and my sin: cere appreciation of your purpose in extending me so cordially an invitation to take part in the proposed debate. “I have no means of knowing, how- ever, whether the fact of my refusal may hecome public, or, indeed, whether Mr. Wheeler himself may make it public. I would have no objection, of course, in either case, but in the event that should occur I might want the reasons which actuate me to be under- stood and made public also.” AMBULANCE;ORDERED TO OBSERVE SPEED LAW Complaint against the excessive speed of hospital ambulances caused Dr. Joseph D. Rodgers, superintendent of Casualty Hospital, to issue an order vesterday directing the ambulances of that institution adhere strictly to the speed laws and not at any time exceed the 22-mile-an-hour limit. The complaints were made to the Commissioners some time ago and v were referred to Maj. Edwin B. , who in turn warned the hos- pitals that unless the ambulance driv- ers observed the speed regulations would be arrested. Inspector Charles Kvans, acting superintendent of police in the absence of Maj. Hesse, who is in Atlantic City on a brief vacation, explained that while the police regulations give am- bulances, as well as fire apparatus and vehicles of the Water Department the right of way over all other ve- hicles, ambulances are not authorized to exceed the speed limit. .. WIFE SUES HUSBAND. Emanuel Preston, 920 Rhode Island avenue northeast, has been made defendant in a suit in Equity Court filed by Madeline Farrar Preston, his wife, 3 P street, in which she asks maintenance for 'herselt and minor child. The plaintiff, through Attorney J. Robert Esher, alleges abuse and drunkenness on the part of the hus- band, and says that on July 12, last, both partles agreed to live apart, the husband agreeing to contribute a small sum for the support of herself and child. On July 23, she tells the court, the husband obtained the child, promising to’ return her that evening, but has failed to do so, and she adds that he called on the telephone saying that he was going to take the child back to his native country, Greece, She asks the court for a writ of ne exeat to prevent the defendant from leaving the jurisdiction and she also asks the custody of the child. The couple were married at Ports. mouth, Va., December 22, 1920, and the plaintiff says that the husband is employed as an engineer at $200 a month. Highways Needed In Arkansas, I. C. C. Adyvises Railroad Arkansas needs adequate high- ways rather than new railroads, the Interstate Commerca Commis: sion today Informed the Réader Railroad of that State in rejecting the company’s application to con- struct 78 miles of tracks. The road planned to build 63 miles from Hope to El Dorado, with a_15-mile branch from Waterloo to McNeil, all points in Arkansas. “The great need of this territory the commission said, “is for ad quate highways rather than for new railroads. The commission also stated that another reason for rejecting the application was due to the fact that the territory ‘through which the new road was designed to run could e reached effectively by branches from existing trunk lines, and it was declared further that the pos- sibilities of developing new traffic did not justify the Reader concern in m'nkln‘ the contemplated invest- ment.
