SAFETY EXPERT PRAISES DRIVE TO HALT AUTO KILLER’
Jrank T. Singleton Suggests Special Penalty to Increase Effectiveness of State Laws Governing Failure to Stop After Accidents. < “It doesn’t make any difference who or what is injured in an automobile accident, a drive*- should be penalized i'or.not stopping,” declared Frank T. Singleton, public service commissioner, in discussing the movement to stop the “killer” who figures in an auto accident and then runs away.
“The law states that whoever Is driving a car when it figures in an accident In which persons or property is damaged and who does not stop and report It to police shall be penalized. ' I say strike out the ‘injury’ clause and penalize, first, for failure to stop, and then add another clause flzing a special penalty for injury Jue to culpability of the driver.' Safety Director Singleton is safety director of the commission and organized and presided over the grade crossing safety conference last summer called by Governor Btanch. House bill No. 103, introduced by Representative Lafuze of Liberty, and known as the motor vehicle law recodiflcatlon bill, so far amends te present law pertaining to renalfor failure to stop. It closes a jphole used by persons arrested under the statute. It strike sout the provision that a driver, in order to be convicted, must be found to blame for any accident In which he figures and after which he does not ■top, “That is an excellent amendment and will solve the chief problem which the present bill brings up,” ■aid Singfleton. “The man who rune away from an accident is a coward. In such Instances we cannot but provide penalties tot his punishment. He is not a gcod citizen. He is as much a menace to society as other offenders for whom the law provides similar penalties. An Vehicles “I would even go so far, if pos ■ible, as to provide that even drivers of horse-drawn vehicles must stop after accidents. lam most certainly for it If the title of the bill Is sufficiently broad to embrace the subject.” Charles Kettleboraugh, director legislative reference bureau, today said that the title of the bill could not be extended to cover any horsedrawn vehicle regulation. He said that other matters pertaining to such vehicles had been stricken Jrom the bill as originally drafted because of the constitutional restrictions on bill titles. He commended the feature of the new bill which removes any question to the driver’s culpability in an after which he failed to Vop "It isn’t a question of whose fault ■IDS “Pape's Cold Compound" Breaks a Cold Right Up*

SENATORS MARK IEINDAYTON (Continued From Psfs 1) vigorous "aye” when their name* were called and unanimously carried a resolution that Brown was an efficient doorkeeper. Senator Batt. Terre Haute, offered the resolution after the warrant hod been read. Brown changed his stand early today from the boast that “I'm going tol take them back with me,” to. "I’m going to stay with them," His blanket warrant Is technically illegal as It is signed by the stamped signature of Zell C. Swain, secretary of the Senate, while* it should have been signed by the president of the Senate, the Democratic Senators contend. It is understood here that Senator Nejdl in the absence of Lieutenant Governor Van Orman refused to aijgn the warrant. Without Baggage * Without baggage the Senators early today raided barber shops, drug stores and haberdasheries in search of shaves, tooth brushes and clean linen. Only Senators Shirley and Crosby carried baggage, and Crosby's razor was In great demand last night. Many of the fugitive Senators only had time to leave notes to their wives In Indianapolis. The Senators were up late last night having fun at the expense of Doorkeeper Brown and his three deputies E. A. Clark, Indianapolis; Allen Reed, Anderson; O. A. DeVoe, Dunkirk. When Brown posed for a picture for a newspaper Senator Batt pinned a placard on him with the Inscription “H. T. D. A.," meaning "Horsethief Detective Association.” Brown was miffed and left the room, calling his deputies alter him. Brown was in deadly earnest. The Senators refused to be serious about anything except their declaration "We are not going back," "Valets” for Brown Senator Payne polished up Brown’s star and straightened the bulge on bis hip. He was armed. Other Senators elaborately straightened Brown’s tie, hair and coat before they would let the photographer snap his picture. Brown and his men arrived about ,11:30 p. m. He was met in the lobby of the Gibbons by an Indianapolis Times correspondent. Brows was searching the register for the missing Senators. The reporter told him his long search was ended and took him up and presented him to the Senators. Practically all of the fugitives were gathered in one room for a caucus. Given "Ovation” As Brown came In the room a great shout went up. “Y aaj Jerome! Yea Jerome. Come on in. Tell us all the news from home.” Brown said: “I’ve come after you boys." “Go see the Governor of Ohio,” someone shouted. After further exchange of pleasantries Brown went downstairs and tried to get Lieutenant Governor Van Orman at Indianapolis by long distance * telephone. He reached Van Orman about 1 a. m. He said Van Orman told him to stay in Dayton until it was found out what could be done. Missed Great Chance Senator Harvey Harmon of Princeton failed to catch the motor bus at Indianapolis, so he took a taxi to Irvington, intending to board an in terurban. A moving van came along. He stopped it, learned it was going to Dayton and begged a ride. Brown and hi* deputies passed this moving van on -National Rd. > Harmon got ir

Despite the seriousness which underlay action of the bolting Senators and the grim determination to prevent action of the Senate which probably would “rob” the /Democratic party of one of their three Congressmen, the fugitives sang, cracked jokes and had much merriment with Senator Andrew "Bull” Durham over the Governor’s veto of his mortgage exemption measure. They read of the Governor's action in an Indianapolis Times purchased at Eaton, Ohio, where a short atop was made.

Railroad shops, Belmont and Turner Avek, damaged by fire that broke out about 12:30 a. m. today. M. V. Hynes, general superintendent of the road and W. H. Bettcher, master car builder, were unable to estimate damage accurately, but Hynes said it might reach 325.000. Fire Chief John J. O’Brien said the first four companies on the scene fearing the blaze might sweep the entire machine shop, blacksmith shop and car repair yards, turned in the second alarm. Four more companies responded and the fire force held the blaze to the one building. 200 by 80 feet. It Is thought the fire started in the foreman’s office in the extreme northesat end. probably from defective wiring. Chief O’Brien said, he thought the loes would run around $7,500 to the building. Bettecher said that the shop would probably be ready to begin operation again next Monday, with a temporary roof covering. He said the damage to pne new coach under construction would reach $2,500.

ADMIRAL SCOFFS AT PERIL 10 U. S. IN PLANE ATTACK Bomb Would Not Seriously Damage Battleship, He Declares, Bv United Prene WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The United States is not in danger of an air attadk from a foreign power. Rear Admiral Jones of the Navy general board told the House Air craft Investigating Committee at reopening of its hearings today. ‘ After testifying to the status rnd needs of the Navy, Jones said he did not believe a 2,000-pound bomb dropped from a plane "would have any serious effect on the motive power of a battleship or on personnel in inclosed stations.” Damage Small ”1 don't believe a bomb landing within fifty feet of a vessel would j do any damage.’’ he said. I Taking the tests conducted on the j Washington, Jones said that only one explosive bomb was dropped on the battleship in the air offensive tests. “That shell,” said Jones, “did not even get through the deck. The tests on the Washington were tests to determine is resistive powers."
