COMMISSIONERS DECIDE TO CURB DEADLY AUTO SPEEDING IN D. C
...
RULE ONLY
?ind Discuss Various
Plant?Against Twelve-Mile
Limit?To Hoar Citizens.
Adoption of a regulation de
?UPMd't? prevent reckles. driving
?* the ' Dletrict was considered In
m*"??^ today at a meeting of the
?fjM Commissioners.
The question of reducing the
*_*?**? ?mit from eighteen to
_2g*i w**1?* ?? hour wss also dis
?Jteed. However, it is expected
_**% this suggestion will be voted
down if Jt cornea before the board
for a decision.
Seek rubile Sentiment.
All thre? Commissioners. It was
learned today, favor a drastic regu
lation forbidding r??ckleiie driving.
Buch a refutation would have a
heavy penalty attached tor violation.
Cuno H. Rudolph, president of the
Board of Commissioners, said that
some definite action would be taken
Soon on Ihe question of speed.
It Is passible that the Commission
ers may change the speed limit by
permitting motorists to drive at a
"nafe speed."
The chief reason tor postponing
decision today on the speed limit, it
was said, was to sound out public
sentiment.
The Commissioners decided today
to accept the invitation of William
V. Ham, chairman of the safety
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, to attend a safety meeting
In the District building next Thurs
day night.
The CommtiMloners feel they can
obtain considerable information by
attending.
Mr. Ham's letter says the rapidly
Increasing number of serious, and
even fatal, accidents In Washing
ton have . drawn the attenUon of
every cltlsen to the need for some
decisive action which will prevent
er largely lessen such accidents.
It is expected the Commissioners
will put before the meeting a pro
posai that a regulation against reck?
fees driving be adopted.

Edward Waters, Found Guilty
of Operating House, Gets
Six Months' Sentence.
Edward Waters was today found
guilty of unlawfully promoting and
operating a gambling house In Ar
lington county and sentenoed by
Police Justice William I. Uloth to
six months In Jail.
Through his attorney, Curl Hud
wesky, of the firm of Davi? and Bud
wesky, of Alexandria, Waters noted
an appeal to the circuit court.
Judge Samuel Q. Brent later an
nounced that he had set the trial
of Waters for October 26.
Waters Is the first to face trial
of several men arrested In connec
tion with the recent drive on alleged
gambling houses in Arlington county.
Jaunes M. Ooherty, who was Jointly
indicted with Waters, and Is th?
owner of the house where Waters
was charged with conducting games,
failed to appear for trial this corning.
Doherty Case Wednesdsy.
Attorney Budwesky submitted a
certificate signed by Dr. Walter A.
Warfield, which stated that Doherty
was suffering from an old affliction
snd was unable to appear. A con
tinuance was ordered, and the case
will be tried before Justice Cloth on
Wednesday next.
George W. Maters, who was In
dicted for his alleged connection with
the Hilltop Club. Is to be given a
hearing this afternoon.
It had been anticipated that those
ndicted for connection with alleged
gambling houses would be taken _1
.ectly before Circuit Judge Brent,
but he has ruled that the case?
Hhould take their regular courae
through Police Court, and In cast?.
it appeal be sent to his court.
Counsel for Thomaa Worland and
Oeorge Maters today notified Com
monwealth Attorney Krank la. Bull
that they would enter a protest
against the burning of the gum bit nu
.'Ojuipment seised in two alleged
trambllng clubs earlier in the week.
Mr. Ball had planned to destroy the
apparatus tonight st a bonfire on
tne yard of the courthouse. He an
nounced that the demonstration had
been postponed until a later date.
Four Witnesses Heard.
Only four wltnesnett were heard to
day in the case against Waters.
Special Officer O. W. Welsh testi
fled that he found Waters - the
house owned by Doherty near Alex
andria, but Inside the county of Ar
lington: that Waters told him he
(Waters) was the proprietor of the
place and that he rented It from
Doherty. ?^
Three rent receipt? signed by Do
herty and made out to Waters were
offered In evidence. They were
seized In the mid on the plane.
Welsh also Identified playing cards,
dice, crap table covers and other arti
cles taken from the Doherty eetah.
Ilahment.
Bruce Smooth, a special officer,
corroborated the testimony of Welsh.
Me said he did not see any gambling
trames In operation at the establish
ment, but had talked with Waters,
and had been told by Waters that he
?vas renUng the place from Doherty,
he owner of the property.
John Wise, who vlsltcl the
Doherty houso last Saturday nluht.
testified that he shot crap there
and ?von. In the presene? of the
court. Prosecutor Ball draped one
of the crap table covers ov??.? a
table and the witness demount rated
how the -rime ?ras played, nhowing
how certain numbers printed on the
arem table cover won varying
?unonnts.
Rig Cro?rd at Place.
Wise testified that the crtwl*
were so dense In the establishment
that 1*. was necessary to push side
wise up to the table in order to lay
money on a certain number.
Adams Howard, a Washington
newspaper man, testified that he
visited Doherty's establishment last
Saturday night, and found at least
300 men in the place, all playing
crap on specially constructed crap
tables.
Howard won >B, he told the court.
There were no other games In op
eration at the time, he said.
None of the witnesses saw
Waters In the house during the
progress of the games, they testified.
Attorney Budwesky told the court
that the accused would offer no
defense, since, he claimed, there
had been no proof offered to show
that Waters had got a "rake-off"
from the alleged gambling, games.
He must derive some benefit from
the games, Budwesky contended, to
be found guilty of operating a gam
ing house.

SAY BUREAU IS
AT ITS WORST
Conditions Described as "Hor
rible" in Article in
Union Paper.
Charges that officials of the print
ing division of the Bureau of En
graving and Printing are refusing
to csrry out promises to Improve
working conditions there, and that
the plight of employes In that di
vision is "worse thsn at any time
In its history," are made in the
latest Issue of the Plate Printer, pub
lication of the plate printers' union.
"There Is only one word that we
believe will adequately describe the
present conditions In the printing di
vision." the Printer states, "and
that is 'horrible.?
"We thought we knew what bad
conditions were under former ad
ministrations of the bureau, but they
were wonderful as compared with
what the plate printers sre contend
ing with at the present time.
After six months ef patience
we find conditions in the printing
division of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing are worse than at any
time in Its htstory. Alibi after alibi
is offered, yet as day follows day,
conditions grow worse. The promised
Improvement has not materialised.
"The present officials of the
bureau are Intent upon a program of
inferior production that Is beyond
comprehension. There Is only one
answer, and that Is, falling to make
good on the other promises there Is
a resort to the old game of false
economy, and we predict the usual
answer."
