Assizes here today. Evidence showed the child had heen in_hospithls for tredfment for tuber- culosis, that afterward she had been operated on for appendicitis and that later she contracted measies and pneu monta and_became _fnfected with gangrene. Davies told how he had watehed the child suffer until he could bear it no longer and finally took her into the bathroom and drowned her. Judge Granson,in his charge to the Jury, said that one thing stood out above all others and that this was that it Davies did take the life of his child he did so because he was actuated by love and sympathy. Previously, Judge Granson said: “It is 2 matter which gives food for thought, when one considers that had this poor child been an animal instead of n human being, so far from there being anything blameworthy in this man’s action in putting an end to the child’'s suffering, he would actually have been liable to punishment had he not done it."" COMPULSORY AUTO INSURANCE UPHELD BY STATE OFFICIALS (Continued_from First Page) perately dangeraus driving the min- ute responsibility for such driving was transferred from the individual to the insurance company, the State offers figures to show that fatalities have been reduced since the law went intd effect. August, taken as a typical montk, shows a decrease of 12 in highway deaths over the .same month in 1926 and 28 fewer than oc- curted during the identical period in 1925, when 50,000 fewer cars were registered. According ‘to TRegister Goodwin, the, ratio of repprted accldents involving personal injury in propor: tion to the number of registrations of motor vehicles “also is decreasing. This, in his opinion, emphatically is due mainly to the operation of the compulsory insurance law. Points Out Advantages. That the law has had this effect has been characterized by Mr. Good- win as “unexpected,” indlcating that its safety aspects so prominent in the arguments of its enemies were not of importance when the law was afety brought about is traced by officials to two causes which pro- ponents of compulsory insurance de- clare will win it friends wherever it is given unbiased consideration. These are that it has driven from the roads of Massachusetts the carcless driver and the car that js hopelessly unsafe. Commenting upon this fact, Mr. Monk says: “Up to the registration year 1927 the number of motor vehicles being registered in the Commonwealth has been persistently increasing and, in round numbers, the normal increase has been about 50,000 motor vehicles. Since the 1st of January, 1927, with the compulsory insurance law in operation, not only has there heen no increase in the normal registrations but, in certain classifications, there has been a very decided decrease. “This is particularly true of the more hazardous types such as com- mercial vehicles of light weight and motor cycles, It is noticeable also that the makeshift motor ‘vehicle which hitherto had been operated on our highways by boys. is no longer to be seen. It is not to be asserted, of course, that this falling off in the number of reglstrations is entirely due to the law, To a certain extent It may be attributed to economic con- ditions, but those cof us who are tamiliar with the whole situation have no hesitancy in saying that there are a great many motor vehicles now in the junk heap which would have been operated on our highways, with all the attendant risks, were it not for the fact that this insurance is re- quired.” As the law has thus served to rid the roads of Masgachusetts of danger- ous vehicles, o also has it worked in the elimination of the dangerous driver. A Insurance compaples are compelled, under the law, to write only such risks ns are proper and if a company examining an individual’s record finds it unsatisfactory, it may de fssue a policy. A rating board passes this information regarding the individ- ual along to other insurance com- panies and if the appelate body up- holds this appraisal, the applicant may neither own nor operate an auto- mobile in Massachusetts. The decisions of the appeals board | are having a remarkably wholesome effect, in Mr, Monk’s opinion. Reckless Drivers Banned. “The chief benefits to be derived from_these decisions are not to be found in the fact that a particular individual has been deprived of his right to own and operate a motor vehicle,” he says, “but rather in the psychological effect upon others. Once the motoring public is made aware of the fact that the negligent and reckless are barred from using the State highways, the reaction inevita bly is beneficial. “The motor vehicle owneérs of Massa chusetts eventually will be brought to a state of mind where they will see that unles they conduct themselves properly on the highways and are careful In the operation of motor vehicles, they will not be permitted \omas Norman, Newport | who gave a report on the recentjeither to own or operate a car.” Here is the pallative effect that should subdue those who argue that ine to; such a law. Induces individual care- proponents of such insurance But, it should not be. neces- sary to cite this point, many claim, because the argument that insurance makes for carelessness has been proved unSound from the very in- ception of this form of automobile coverage. “Who s going to drive in a man- ner that might result in the maiming of a child for life merely because he carries insuranc is a question asked by those who are advocating the general enactment of such a meas- ure. Under a law such as Massa- chusetts has applied the driver of this character is barred from use of highways. Without such a law this driver not only is not barred but the vietims of the accidents for which he 18 responsible are robbed of an op- portunity to enjoy life, healthy and undeformed, and also are left econom- feally dependent and burdens upon others, The appalling extent to which acci- dent victims were uncompensated in Maseachusetts before the adoption of the measure {s indicated in the fig- ur2s for 1925. In this year 755 per- sons were killed and more than 25,000 were injured. Approximately two- thirds of this number received no reparation from the hands of the mo- torists responsible for their plight. These figures are offercd in rebuttal to the often reiterated statements of opponents of compulsory liability in- surance that before the law went into effect jess than 1 per cent of the vie- tims of highway accidents were un- compensated. The Massachusetts law has “teeth,” and the motorist who has attempted to drive while under the influence of liquor has been among the first to feel them.” Tompanies issuing-insur- ance policies have reserved the right of cancellation in the case of those holders who attempt to drive while drunk. This reservation has been upheld by the appeals board with a remarkably wholesome effect, accord- ing to the insurance commissioner;. Persons who operate cars for unlaw; ful purposes @lso are to be considered as undesirable risks. i Effects of Law. P Thus, based upon Massachusetts’ experience, and there is no other, the compulsory liability insurance law has: 1. Established the financial respon- sibllity of every motor vehicle ownes, 2. Reduced automobile aceidents ort the streets and highways of:the State: 3. Provided an effective and simpla. method of eliminating the habitually reckless, negiigent or careléss: driver. 4. Driven the ill-conditioned and dilapidated automobile to the junk heap after every other method had failed. Because its success in these re- spects is revealed in cold figures, Massachusetts, officials are confident that eventually a compulsory liability insurance law will be adopted by every State and the District of Columbla. COURTESY DROPPED ATSLAYER' TRIAL Attorneys for Assassin and Family of Victim Hurl Insults "in Colrrt. By the Associated Press. PARIS, Octobér 24 —Courtesy and legal formality were thrown to the winds today in_the trial of Samuel Schwartzbard, Russian watchmaker, for the assassination of Gen. Simon Petlura, former head of the state army of Ukrainia. Henri Torres, chief of counsel for Schwartzbard, and Cesare Campinchi, representing the Petlura family, re- newed their word battle of yesterday with such ferocity that at times the trial degenerated into something much resembling a street brawl. At the apex of thelr unusual and seemingly extra legal debate half the jury was inughing, the other half was per- ceptibly annoyed and the chief jus- tice could not make himself heard above the din. Bellowing Contest. Doth attorneys indulged in a bel- Towing contest and hurled insults, working themselves into great heat. ‘Witnesges who managed to get the proverbial “word in edgeways” gave testimony to show that Petlura was really not an anti-Semitic. In fact, Alexander Dotzenko, one of the wit- nesses, said that Petlura was truly a friend of the Jews. Dotzenko, a flat-faced young Slav, modestly de- scribed himself as “a historian, a man of letters and at present assistant to a stone mason.” “Yes, yes, he massacred them,” Schwartzbard_shouted when Dotzen- ko spoke of Petlura's friendship for Jews, Bad Faith Allusions. A new note, perceived in increas- ing allusiong to bad faith, was heard in the trial today. It was sounded by Prosecuting Attorney Reypaud and was repeated.several times, “Schwartzbard,” he said “‘once, “could have killed Petlura in War- saw, but he knew that Polish Justice was’ too severe. He was afraid to risk his head there. At Paris he felt he could hope for an acquittal.” . Schwartzbard answered .this by saying, “I took the first possible chance that seemed to guarantee success.” The trial adjourned for the week end with only nine witnesses heard ‘of a total of 126. 3 {“MIRACLE MAN” TO REST BY SPECIALISTS’ ORDERS Brother Andre’s Collapse Followed by Enforced Vacation in Massachusetts City.

OLD ORCHARD, Mé., October 22. | the Grayson plane, The Dawn, hopped off today for Europe only to be forced to return through fallure to hold the altitude gained. Still undiscouraged tand with complete faith in her Sikor- sky-built amphiblan, Mrs. Frances Grayson immediately made fresh plans for her start. The west wind which was light at the take-off at 6:15 a.m., freshened during the day to an extent which balked another try on the afternoon low tide. The flyers, however, were |confident that the generally . good weather conditions would hold over until tomorrow when another attempt will be made at about the same time as today. one hour in tide occurrence will give the plane a broader and firmer run- way than that of today. Pilot . Wilmer Stultz said that he much preferred a morning take-off, since to start in the late afternoon, would leave ten hours of night flying at dangerously low altitude. Navigator Brice Goldshorough tonight was plan- ning a further poll of ocean steam- ships to make certain that the fine weather of today still held. The plane had been greased and inspected in readiness for the morning start. The Dawn today proved its sea- worthiness when Pilot Stultz brought it to an easy landing a short distance off shore, despite its gross weight of some 10,000 pounds at the time. After crulsing about for a few minutes while the landing gear was lowered the big amphibian nosed its way through the surf to the sand like some prehistoric monster crawling from a swamp. The cabin in the boat re- mained perfectly dry, except for a few drops of spray which came in around a_window. The forced return from a point 12 miles from the start was attributed to the force of the tail wind on the heavily loaded plane. Tomorrow's load of fuel will be 850 gallons instead of the 921 taken up today. T. Harold Kinkaid, the Wright motor expert. said that the new amount would be | ample for the voyage.

It is through the timeliness of these adjustments that managment should be able to forestall extremes of dzpression.” As the outgrowth of this movement for scientific management, a new era has come into business, the City Club secretary says. In the place of the old time ouwner-management in siz- able enterprises, he sees a new man- agerial group assuming charge with fresh conceptions and new relations to both capital and labor. Group Functions Well. This managerial group in business has devised a tremendous mechanism of production which functions most profitably for all when kept in motion continuously, it is explained. Manage- ment, therefore, Mr. Odenthal con- cludes, is of all things intent on pre- serving a continuity of active business and a steadiness in operation.
