ACCIDENT SCENE

ARRESTS LEGAL JACKSON SAYS

Attorney General Declares Officers Don’t Need Warrant.

; An opinion from Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson today supported the State Safety Division campaign against reckless and drunken driving. State police and other peace -efficers may arrest drivers after wrecks although they arrive too late on the scene to actually see the collision, according to the Attorney General's opinion. ; State Safety Director Don Stiver explained that arrests after accidents may become one of the most important factors in lowering Indiana’s accident rate. °° Previously, police have asked that a party to the accident swear out a warrant for the arrest of the party responsible. The mounting accident rate may be checked if State Police or local authorities can make arrests for violations on the scene of the accident, Mr. Stiver said. Enforcement is to be pressed under the 1937 act which provides a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $50 with the possibility of a 10-day sentence. On second offense violators, a sentence of from one to five years may be imposed. Only about 75 uniformed patrol officers are available to aid in the campaign against reckless and drunken driving, but the addition of 60 more men will follow completion of the State Police training school, to start July 5, according to Mr. Stiver.

Fourth of July Ordinance Cited as Safety Measure; Alarms Reported Fewer This Year.

ITH Independence Day only a few days away, Indianapolis Fire Department officials today warned against fireworks accidents and

fires.

An attempt to lessen the hazards here was made last August, after more than a score were injured in the Fourth celebration, but the City Council refused to pass the proposed ordinance. It would have prohibited use, discharge and display of fireworks without a permit, required a license for sale of fireworks and provided penalties for violations. Recalling ‘that Fourth of July celebrations have killed and maimed more people than the Revolutionary War they celebrate, Fire Chief Ken-

HE regulations are: “No person shall . discharge or have in his possession firearms, blank cartridges, pistols or other mechanical devices, or firecrackers exceeding 3 inches in length and one-half an inch in diameter or containing an explosive more powerful than black gun powder. “No skyrocket is permitted weighing more than 6 ounces gross weight. “No toy balloon containing destructive gas is permitted. “No fireworks or explosives shall be sold bartered or given away on the streets, alleys or other public property. : “No fireworks shall be discharged near gasoline filling stations, motor vehicles; railroad trains, buildings containing inflammable materials or in or near schools, hospitals, theaters, hotels, churches, assembly halls or public meeting places. “No persons under the influence of intoxicated liquors shall be permitted to buy fireworks.”

HIEF KENNEDY pointed out that the regulations apply both to persons using and selling fireworks. Chief Lynch said: “The Fire Department had 16 runs due to fireworks fires on July 4, last year. We hope to cut it this year. The number of fires

in the city. has been 1302 since Jan. 1, lower by 450 alarms than for the same period last Year. The fire loss in 1937 is approximately the lowest for a similar period in the history of Indianapolis. We hope the July 4 record will be in keeping.” July 4, 1776, marked the formal beginning of the War of Independence, in which 4044 Americans were killed and 6004 wounded. In the 30 years from 1900 to 1930, celebrations of Independence Day caused 4290 deaths and 96,000 .injuries—all from fireworks. : Facts such as these have led in recent years to concerted action by states and cities to lessen the peril of the annual “Battle of July 4.” More than 500 cities have ordinances regulating fireworks, of which 385 prohibit sale or private use within

T i

corporate limits. But in many states municipal laws lack effectiveness because fireworks may be sold legally in outlying districts. Control is difficult in such circumstances. o » ”n EETING this problem, the New Jersey Legislature enacted on May 3 a bill covering the sale of all kinds of fireworks—including even the “harmless” sparkler—throughout the state. Under the new law, fireworks may be used only for public displays, and the applicant must have the approval of police and fire officials. . The new law resulted from a concerted drive. by Jersey cities, many of which already had enacted “antifireworks” ordinances. Detroit and other Michigan cities are backing similar legislation in that state. Municipal ordinances designed: to

halt promiscuous use of fireworks:

on July 4 and at other times, admittedly are only partially effective in controlling the annual toll of death and injury. They do, however, result in marked improvements, as evidenced by the following statistics from New Haven and Hartford, Conn., which are of comparable size. After July 4, 1930, the former rejected a proposed fireworks ordinance, while one was adopted by the latter, The totals include all fireworks casualties.

were killed (of whom 12 were under 15 years of age), and 7738 persons were injured (of whom 1760 were under 15) in 1935. Approximately 80 per cent of the accidents occurred on July 4, 11 per cent in the two

cent in the two weeks following. 8 2 a HE studies showed there is no such things as “harmless” fireworks. Some two-thirds of all accidents were caused. by common “crackers”; “sparklers” caused sev-

eral fatalities ‘and 90 injuries; “cher-:

ry” bombs caused 298 casualties, torpedoes 175, and cannon crackers 142. In an earlier study covering 1927, the same organization showed that fireworks caused the following types of accidents: 54 persons were burned to death from ignited clothing, of whom 52 were under 5 years of age; 21 children died from eating firecrackers; 20 children were burned to death by “sparklers”; 32 persons were shot by “unloaded” guns or stray bullets; 30 persons lost one or both’ eyes; 300 persons suffered other eye injuries; 1900 persons were otherwise injured. : All these statistics are based on incomplete data, gleaned . largely from newspaper reports. . : Some experts believe that progress is being made in ‘controlling

BRADY GANG STILL IN STATE, IS HINT

On Lookout.

That the Alfred Brady gang still is believed to be in Indiana was indicated today in warnings sent to almost 600 State bankers by the State Police Department. Bankers were warned to watch for gang members who might visit their institutions in preparation for holdups. : Bankers were urged to post pictures of the gang prominently and call State Police barracks if men answering descriptions of the gang appeared in their town.

manufacture, and most of the im‘ported “crackers” come from Japan. The foreign “crackers” usually are the product of cheap labor and such inexpensively dangerous materials as ‘flash” powder and paper fuses that often break off short. Those who have studied the subject believe that these fireworks account for more than their share of the annual casualties on Independence Day.
