FIVE BUS DRIVERS' PERMITS SET ASIDE Licenses to Operate Balti- more Vehicles Suspended for Speeding. il drieng or exceeding the speed limit Sp-eial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September 21.—Chauf- feurs' licenses of five bus drivers who wara capsisted en charges of reckless were suspended yesterday by E. Austin Baughman, commissioner of motor ve- hicles, following a hearing before George W. Munford, legal examiner for the commission. Three of the licenses were suspended for 30 days and- the other two for 20. The differengin the time of the sus- pensions wa¥. result of the fact that the latter two drivers had no previous violation record. The charges on which the drivers were convicted were the result of an investigation made September 4 on the Washington Boulevard by Paul M. Hart, investigator for the commission. Drivers Who Lest Permits. The two drivers who lose their driv- ing permits for the 20-day period are Elwood F. Queen, chauffeur for the People’s Rapid Transit Co., and Frank Elmore, a driver for the Nevin Line. The other three drivers are Raymond | Romm and Harry Gouff of the Nevin Line and Otto W. Narer of the People’s | Rapid Transit Co. | In recommending the suspension of | the licenses, Mr. Munford told the drivers that, because of the size of the vehicles they operate and because of the number of lives in their care as passengers, they should be more careful than other drivers. The drivers admitted speeding their busses, but placed the blame on the operators of the two lines for failing to equip the vehicles with adequate speed- ometers, Defects in busses, revealed by Public Service Commission inspections, eithdr have been eliminated or are being changed as rapidly as possible, it was sald yesterday by shop foremen and Jocal officials of companies operating out of Baltimore. The problem of adequate inspection 50 that the busses are m perfect con- dition at all times has occupied the attention of operators for more than a year, and a system whereby daily in- spections will be made is being con- | I, sidered. Hope to Develop System. ‘The owners hope to have such a system developed for submission to the Public Service Commission when -li‘\a!‘hbody meets with representatives future. It is believed that a single inspection system for all companies, particularly | for those which share the bus terminal | quarters at Liberty, Park avenue and | .Redwood streets, would be the most satisfactory and most economical. Officials declined to commit them- selves to approval of this plan until | further study and communication with home offices. An official of the People's Rapid Transit Co. explained that every measure to eliminate unsafe operation will be undertaken immediately. COMPLAINS OF DRIVER. Passenger on Frederick Bus Reports It Was Operated Recklessly. BALTIMORE, September 21 (Spe- clal).—The Public Service Commission | has recelved a letter from Edward | Kerschner of Emmittsburg, Md., in which he complained of the allegedly reckless manner in which a bus on which he was a passenger was operated. The bus is owned by the Blue Ridge Transportation Co. Mr. Kerschner said he rode from Washington to Frederick on the bus Wednesday. He claimed the driver cut | through traffic so recklessly that all the .passengers were frightened and some | complained. The complaints, he added, | were ignored. Furthermore, reported the driver to the superin- | tendent of the company’s line at Fred- | erick and was told by the superintend- ent that nothing could be done because | the driver in the “case has a pull with the company officials.” Kerschner added, he | He had been reported several times | D¢ for speeding, cutting corners and driv- ing on the wrong side of the road, but nothing has ever been done about it, Kerschner quoted the superintendent as saying.

S His most spectacular achievement was rushing the guns of the cruiser 1| Powerful into Ladysmith, South Africa, to defend the town during the Boer War. The naval brigade which he commanded arrived just before Lady- smith was occupied and the guns proved to be the only ones equal in range to the Boer besiegers. He was credited with saving the town. His family name was Lambton, but he assumed the surname Meux on the death in 1911 of Lady Meux, widow of a famous brewer, who left him a large fortune. He inherited from Lady Meux, with other things, a beautiful estate at Theobalds Park, in Essex. The main entrance gate consists of old Temple Bar, one of the medieval gates of Lon- don which stood on Fleet street until 50 years ago. The City of London showed no interest in the relic ana dumped it in a stone yard. The Meux family rescued it and erected it in its present position at a cost to themselves of $75,000. Recently a London archeological society started an sgitation for a return of Temple Bar to the city, but the admiral woula 0 | not_give it up.” His house was formerly 6|a Stuart palace, he said, and Temple Bar helped to perpetuate the memory of the Stuarts, First Brethren Church, Rev.

INDIANS SAVE -~ WOMAN IN DESERT Fugitive, Plotting Suicide, Becomes Lost in Arizona. Is Returned to Tucson, By the Associated Press. ‘TUCSON, Ariz., September 21.—De- lirious and seriously ill after wandering for two days without food and water on the desert, Mae Bundy, alias Mrs. E. Rowell of Kansas City, was picked up by Indians, nursed back to strength and later returned to Tucson, it was Te- vealed by John Gungl, United States attorney. The woman, who was being held as a material witness in a Mann act case here, disappeared September 10 from the rooming house where she had been permitted to remain because of il health. At that time an unsue 1 search was made of the desert near her abandoned car, eight miles north of Tucson, by officers from the Tucson Police Department and the Pima County sherifl’s office. Gungl intimated that he had been keeping the woman in comparative se- clusion since she was returned here and asked that no attempt be made fo in- terview her, Wanders for Two Days. She has been required to make no statement of her reasons for leaving ‘Tucson in the middle of the night, leav- ing her car on the desert and then taking a gun and wandering about for two days. She did not have the gun when she returned here. It is believed she left the car with the intention of committing suicide and later changed her mind. Finding she was lost, it is belleved she dropped the gun and con- tinued her wanderings until picked up by the Indians. ‘When she left Tucson the woman was clothed in the lightest Summer clothing, with expensive and uncomfortable dress shoes. The heat of the sun, lack of food and water, coupled with her highly nervous condition, quickly reduced the woman to a pitiful state. Reports indicate she was practically unconscious when the Indians under- took to nurse her back to health. Her skin was dangerously burned by the 'desert sun _and her ‘mind was almost deranged, Gungl said.
