DECIDE TO CONTINUE POLICY ON SPEEDING AS BEST FOR CITY
Decision to continue the enforce
ment of the state law against speeding within the city limits, was the
outcome of a meeting of the city pojlice commissioners, motorcycle offic
ers, and representatives of local newsI papers, held m the city court room Saturday morning.
The meeting was called by the commissioners in order to consider reports i that trade was being driven away from

March 2. 1919. was a Sunday. ExPresident Wilson was then in Washington on the brief visit he made to American from the peace conference.
He had announced, with implacable
firmness, that he was going to Insist
that the League of Nations should be I
made an integral part of the treaty or peace, that he woujd not listen to the protests that had been made in America, and that, on the contrary, he would see to it that the league and the treaty should be so thoroughly bound together that no human power should separate them.Get Forceful Letter On this Sunday morning Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut, as was his occasional custom, visited his office in the senate office building to look over his mail. There happened to be among his letters one from a man whom he did not know a man whose name is entirely lost to the history in which he had an obscure but initially vitalizing part. All that is now remembered by those who read the letter at the time is that it came from a man whose
letterhead Indicated that he was in thej
iron and steel business in New ork. The letter was of the sort that public men frequently receive from strangers. It was intelligent and forceful. It pointed out that if President Wilson were permitted to go on in his course without formal protest, and that if no formal record of opposition were made on the part of the senate, the time would go by forever when
anything could be done to forestall what Wilson was doing in Paris. Brandegee Consults Lodge Senator Brandegee was very much impressed by the letter. He mulled it over for some time, and then put it in his pocket and walked over to the home of Senator Lodge, who, as the leading Republican member of the committee on foreign affairs, was the most obvious person to consult.
Senator Brandegee showed the let-
that drivers of motor cars observe due care. We do not want cars smashed up, neither do we want to arrest peo
ple. We are merely enforcing the law for the good of the public and we intend to go on doing that precisely as
we have in the past."
Stand Behind Officers. James Martin, James Frye and .Wil
liam Dill, members of the board of police commissioners, Paul Beckett, Wayne county prosecutor, motorcycle officers I. C. Wright and J. W. Hennigar, Desk Sergeant George Staubach and Chief of Police Wenger and representatives of local newspapers attended the meeting. Police Commlioner William Dill stood squarely behind the motorcycle officers in their arrests made up to
the present time. The controversy in the meeting centered about the reports
that Richmond trade was being lost through the policy of the local police in enforcing the state regulations. That such was not the case was proven by figures made up from the police docket, showing arrests for the past month. Of a total of 77 arrests for violations of state motor laws, 56 of the
drivers arrested were local people,
and only 21 were out of town motor
ists. This argument was used to show
that the police were not discrimin
ating against out of town drivers as
had been the report.
Of the 56 drivers arrested for speed
ing, 16 were boys under the legal nge for driving as fixed by the state law
All motorists arrested were let off
with the minimum fine of $1 and costs or a total of $11.
Warn Many Drivers That Richmond police are ienient with first offenders was proven by figures showing that 100 people had been warned by officers. Not a man had been arrested by the police on speeding charges unless he had been going over 25 miles per hour, according to Mayor Zimmerman, who was among those present after the start of the hearing. The fines for speeders are distributed In accordance with the state law as follows: $1 to the school fund, $5 to the city, and $5 to the prosecuting attorney. Many complaints had been made by motorists that they were not going at excessive speeds when hailed by the officer. This matter was also explained when the statement was made that officers did not always arrest vio
lators at the instant they were exceed'

commissioners considered Saturday, the building of a small institution. Many advocates of the hospital were present and insisted that the county was morally obligated to proceed with the erection of a tuberculosis hospital.
Mueller Speaks. John Mueller, local architect, who
has presented the county with hos
pital plans, addressed the commissioners. "You do not want to spend money that will not do good. You can build any size hospital you think best but other counties have found that small
hospitals are expensive because of the higher cost per bed. "One hundred thousand dollars will give you a 40-bed institution. Extension can be cared foe latev. One restriction is that the building shall be of a permanent character. Counties

pliance with the budget law which was enacted a few months ago. The bill will be introduced probably early in December soon after the. regular session of congress begins.
A series of conferences have been , held between the house committee oni
appropriations and Director Dawes of the budget bureau, a3 a result of which the work of the appropriations committee.will be reorganized to facilitate the consideration of the - budget measure. The act establishing a budget sys

Today 10 members of hi3 staff were dismissed including the chief , gardener, whose place has been taken by William himself.

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct 15. President Harding today assumed active leadership in the government'3 effort to settle differences between the railroads and their employes, and designated as the best available agencies to avert serious labor complications the public group of the railroad labor board and the membership of the interstate commerce commission. The president brought together the three public representatives on the wage board and the full membership of the commission in a meeting to consider not only the threatened nation-wide strike, but the whole question of a re-adjustment of railroad rates and wages. The three wage board members. Chairman Barton G. Wallace, W.
Hanger and Ben W. Hooper, came to Washington at the president's request and went with him to the offices of the interstate commerce commission, where all the members of the commission were awaiting. The president remained in conference for 15 minutes and then returned to the white house, where a statement was issued declaring his move was part of a general realignment of the railroad situation. Consider Adjustment "The purpose of the meeting," said the white house statement, "was a broad consideration of the possibility of an early adjustment of railroad rates and wages, in the expectation that it wouid contribute to the industrial revival." No specific mention of the threatened strike was made in the stattment, although it was indicated that

The statement issued at the white house outlined the president's belief that the public group of the wage board and the members of the commission could do most for the public welfare if they worked in co-operation. It also emphasized the opinion held in administration quarters, that a readjustment of the whole rail situation would be of the greatest possible aid toward a general industrial rehabilitation.
ENGLISH PAPERS BACK
FUND TO ESTABLISH CLOSER TIES WITH U.S.
(By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 15. Discussions of
the relations subsisting between the United States and Great Britain filied much space in today's papers. Aside from references to the probable visit of Prime Minister Lloyd George to Washington and arrangements for Monday's ceremony in Westminster Abbey, there was printed a long appeal from prominent persons interested in the Sulgrave institution, asking the public immediately to raise $50,000. This institution has been working to bring about closer relations between
America and Great Britain and sponsored the work of restoring the ancestoral home of George Washington, which was recently rededicated. The sum asked for by the Institu
tion is desired as "a prelude to Amer-
movement toward a better understand
ing." Commenting upon the appeal, the London Times remarked: "Though the moment may seem inopportune for an attempt to raise money the importance of the object of the appeal forbids the withholding of support for the great work the institution is doing a work worthy of the fullest support which the patriotic munificence of both countries can give."
