32 * OENTH WA CALSE | NEW TRAFI RILE Suggestion Results From In-| quest Over Body of Police- man R. H. Kaylor. Official machinery was set into mo- tion today to determine the advisability of following the recommendations of the coroner's jury relative to traffic sanditions at Stanton Park, returned terday along with a verdict of acci- tal death at the inquest into the death of Motor Cycle Policeman Ross H. Kaylor, 29 years old, killed in a head-on collision with a street car at the park early Tuesday Funeral services for s policeman will be held Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock at Lee's undertaking parlors, in the 300 block of Pennsylvania avenue. Interment is to be in the Marine Corps section of Arlington Cemetery, where full military honors will be accorded and special services conducted, under auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. Director of Traffic W. H. Harland and Assistant Director M. O. Eldridge con- ferred today on the jury’s suggestion that parking be abolished in the 400 and 500 blocks of C street northeast, opposite Stanton Square, prior to pre- senting the matter to the Traffic Ad- ‘\i'lsory Council at a meeting Wednes- ay. The jury further recommended that « street car traffic, which at present pro- ceeds east around the park in the oppo- site direction of one-way traffic in the 400 and 500 blocks of C street, be re- routed, and it is said that the Public Utilities .Commission will consider this proposal as soon as possible after it is formally presented. Blocked by Parked Cars. ‘The two recommendations were made by the jury after the introduction of testimony showing that when Kaylor turned into the 500 block of C street and crashed head-on into the street car he was confronted by a row of parked machines on his right and a slowly moving automobile proceeding between the parked cars and the street car, which was coming against traffic on the narrow one-way street. Testimony at the inquest exploded the report that the policeman had been chasing a speeding automobile, pre- sumably a rum runner, at the time of the crash. Joseph A. Cunningham of 1427}, E street northeast, driver of the auto- mobile proceeding east on C street be- tween the street car and the parked cars, said that he heard the exhaust of Kaylor's motor cycle as it turned a corner, and the crash followed im- mediately. There were no other cars in sight, he testified. ‘Among the other witnesses who testi- fied were Motorman Paul L. Hughes and Conductor Willlam T. Howe, crew of the street car, who were exonerated of any blame by the ’Jé'.?"‘ findings; Stanley Dawson of Woodbridge, and Selmer Hill of 1245 Duncan street northeast, the latter colored, who were in Cunningham'’s car; Assistant Traffic Director Eldridge, who told the jury that the traffic conditions around Stan- ton Park were not satisfactory to the traffic director’s office; Drs.
