LAUDS CONVICTION
FOR TROLLEY SPEED
I •
Neilson Tells City , Heads
Verdict Will Aid Traffic
Safety.
Conviction of Byron H. Mayer, 27,
of 326 Fourteenth street northeast,
on a charge of reckless driving while
operating a street car, definitely
places mass transportation vehicles
under the traffic regulations and will
aid in increasing traffic safety,
George D. Neilson, assistant corpora
tion counsel, told the District Com
missioners yesterday.
In a letter addressed to Henry
Nestor, aid to Commissioner Hazen,
Neilson asked that the Commissioners
take cognizance of the conviction
by a jury in Police Court, with a view
to bringing about stricter control of
street cars and busses.
Mayer had been charged with driv
ing his street car at a speed of from
35 to 40 miles an hour from Mount
Rainier, Md„ to Fourth street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast. "I
have always contended that 8treet
cars are subject to the traffic regu
lations the same as motor vehicles
and. although every one seemed to
think it was impossible to convict
any one charged with such an offense,
I am pleased to know that there was
apparently no doubt in the minds of
the jury, as It deliberated but 12
minutes before reaching an agree
ment," Neilson’s letter stated.
"Special efforts were put forth to
secure a conviction in this case and
in my opinion the verdict of the jury
will have a far-reaching effect in
making our streets and highways
safe and secure for persons and
property.”
Attorney Edward O'Connell, repre
aenting Mayer, has filed a motion for
a new trial for his client. Date for
argument on the motion has not been
*et by Judge John P. McMahon.

thorough cleansing, bringing out
old, poisonous matter that you
would not believe was In your

gas pains, sour stomach, nervous
ness and headaches for months.
Dr. H. L. Shoub, New York, re
ports: "In addition to intestinal
cleansing, Adlerika greatly reduces
bacteria and colon bacilli."
Give your stomach and bowels a
REAL cleansing with Adlerlka and
see how good you feel. Just one

Odd Books Caught
in Net of Appeal
to Educate Sailors
Donors Have Opportuni
* ’ /
ty to Help Men Advance
by Proper Selection.
Some strange Ideas about the read
ing matter popular with sailors have
come to light during this week’s
book-collection campaign staged by
the American Merchant Marine Li
brary Association.
“The Care and Feeding of Babies,’’
it was disclosed today, was among the
many volumes deposited at the Public
Library, Eighth and K streets, to help
seamen, Ooast Guardsmen and light
house tenders while away their dull
hours.
The association hopes to collect
350,000 books all over the United
States by Saturday. It is receiving
them at the main library and its
branches, where the volumes should
be left with the plain marking, "For
Sailors.” Otherwise the books go on
the library shelves.
To explain the need for its cam
paign, the association announced
today:
“The American Merchant Marine
Library has an exceptionally fine op
portunity to carry on the work of
adult education and is furthering this
phase of its activities at every turn.
“Only a small percentage of our
merchant marine officers come from
the State school ships. Most of them
have to work their way up, and unleu
they have facilities comparable to
those enjoyed by the man on shore,
they are badly handicapped.’*
NAVAL POST RENEWED
The United States and Brazil have
entered into an agreement to con
tinue for four more years the Ameri
can naval mission which has been
supervising the training of officers
in the Brazilian Navy.
The American Navy men, consist
ing of eight officers and five chief
petty officers, already have been in
Brazil four years.
The new contract was signed at the
State Department yesterday by Sec
retary Hull and the Brazilian Am
bassador, Oswaldo Aranha.
