Complaint that Police Court is being used indirectly for “bill-collec- tion purposes” in connection with the quashing of trafic charges where | the guilty driver is wiling to pay | damages to the other parties has| been made to the Commissioners by People’s Counsel William A. Roberts. The point was raised in a com- munication to the Commissioners in which Roberts forwarded proposals of the Southeast Council of Citizens’ Associations for drastic measures for improvement of traffic conditions, among which was listed a recom- mendation for an absolute ban on fix- ing of tickets for traffic violations in cages where there are accidents. Method Explained. “I am not sure you are aware of | the exact procedure in the traffic cases involving accidents,” Roberts wrote the city executives. “At pres- ent the parties are summoned before | an assistant corporation counsel whoi has very limited time to examine | them. “Frequently the guilty party will agree to pay rather than face a prosecution, and as a matter of ex-' pediency the complainant tacitly re- fuses to prosecute, thus using the | criminal features of the court for bill-collection purposes. “Of course, there is no considered intention on the part of prosecuting officials to let any one avoid criminal liability, but the Commissioners will understand that the assistant cor- poration counsel are placed in a diffi- cult position in such cases as prose- cution and conviction may remove a club off the head of the guilty party which is useful in requiring settlement of civil obligations. Outlines Relief Plan. “It is my belief that if the as- sistants would not nolle prosequi in- formation, even though settlement | be tendered, and compel the parties | to appear by use of subpoena, it would i not be long before a better condition | would be effected.” | The Southeast Council urged giving serious attention to strict enforce- | ment of traffic rules, especially for protection of the pedestrian; that‘ civilians be employed for clerical duties in the Police Department; en- actment of the automobile liability bill; that a law be enacted for long period of suspension of drivers’ per- mits, and indorsed the plan of the | people’s counsel for construction of municipal parking garages. —_— SHIPPING RATE WAR FUND BEING STUDIED “Trade Penetration” Financial Aid Also Is Considered in Subsidy Bill. By the Associated Press. A fighting fund to help American | ship lines meet rate war emergencies is under consideration in connection | with the administration’s proposed ship subsidy bill. | In addition, a “trade penetration” fund also is under study, intended to help develop American commerce in various sections which otherwise would necessitate operations at a loss to the shipowners. ‘The subsidy bill, recommended by President Roosevelt to give the lines direct Government grants of money and end the “subterfuge” of doing the same thing “in the guise of pay- ment for ocean mail contracts” is not to be introduced for some weeks. ANTIQUITY OF AMERICAN MAN VOUCHED BY BONES Clue Found About Remains of Meal Made of Meat of Bison Now Extinct. By the Associated Press. Bones left over from a banquet of bison meat, staged in Colorado in the prehistoric past, gave a fresh clue to- day of how long humans have been living in the New World. The Smithsonian Institution sald the bison bones have just been identi- fled as belonging to two species of bison now extinct. ‘With the bones was found a special | kind of stone dart, adding to the evi- dence that men lived in America when prehistoric animals survived. The identification was made by Dr. J. D. Figgins of the Colorado Museum of Natural History. PRODUCTION'CONTfiOL OF RICE IS PLANNED Program Including 1-Cent Tax Is Developed After Signing of Law by Roosevelt. By the Assoclated Press. Signing of the new rice control law by President Roosevelt yesterday was followed quickly by development of a program for production control in Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Cali- fornia. The program, expected to be an- nounced officially today, will call for: 1. Levying of a processing tax of 1 cent per pound, effective April 1, 1935. 2. Reduction of acreage by 20 per | cent. 3. Pixing of State allotments and quotas. 4. Termination of the old market- ing sgreement, except as it provides for disposal of the 1934 crop. 5. Making of adjustment payments to co-operating producers on 85 per | cent of their production quotas. SOME WOMEN ALWAYS ATTRACT You want to be beautiful.
