He has aided In the solving of murder mysteries and other crimes In various parts of the state, including the famous Schwartz case, in which a Berkeley chemist perpe-aill a murder hoax at his factory In Walnut Creek. When the dismembered body of Bessie Ferguson, Oakland nurse, was found on the El Cerrito waterfront, Captain Lee aided Edward O.

Ho is at present at work on a second "Criminal Investigation."

SAFETY DRIVE OPENS BERKELEY, July fl. Seeking another safety record for Berke ley, the Berkeley Traffic Safety commission today embarked on campaign to keep the second half of the year ns free from automo bile accidents as the first half, which showed a 27 per cent reduc- tlonn In fatalities over 1931. The commission pointed partlcu larly to the value of its safety edu cation program for children. No children of elementary school oge or under 15 years, were killed In automobile collisions In the first six months of the year, thus establishing a two year period In which no children of the age group have met Willi ft fatal accident. There nro some 11,000 children under 15 In Berkeley, Figures compiled by the snfely Hhmv three less deaths or twenty-seven per cent less than 19.11; fifty-nine less accidents or 17 per cent less thon 19.11.

The five fnliil accidents recorded for this year shows three of them to have been pedestrians killed by automobiles; one death resulting from a collision of two motor vehicles and one resulting from a collision between an Automobile and a street car. "We call on the people ot Berkeley to continue In their support of our safety progrftm," stated O. C. Attlelwecd, president of tho Traffic Commission. "Berkeley has been a leader In accident.

-prevention for the post several years and can point with pride -at the two successive years of reduction in automobile fatalities. "For the past two years Berkeley has led the other five cities of her class In the Htate of California In her accident rate. We closed last year with a reduction in fatalities despite an Increase In both the State and Nation." The Junior Traffic Police; the playground accident prevention campaign of Police Department Safety club; the Playground Safety Corps and the Berkeley Traffic School were all cited by Attle-tweed as having a direct bearing on the record as made this year. The efficient enforcement program of the Police Department and the handling of cases by Jddge Oliver Youngs and Assistant District Attorney Marcus Hardin were lauded by President Attletweed In his report.
