Baker "By Request" Fatal Spring Fever Of itself spring fever takes no lives. By inducing motorists and pedestrians to relax winter caution it takes maDy, In New York the week after winter's departure the automobile death rate shot upward sharply. Safety experts were moved to conclude that "bad weather actually reduces the rate by compiling caution." T)on't put aside your winter caution. f'or people still are dying from automobiles. Sixty-two have been killed this year in Maryland.

Last year 522 were killed in the State, in the nation. The National Safety Council is trying to reduce the last five years' death rate by 33 per cent, during the next five years. Success will mean a saving of more than 38,000 lives. But it will require year round caution. What Board Recommends A special commission named by the Governor to study the revision of Maryland traffic laws today advocated: Fitness tests for licensed operators every ten years.

Right of way for the first motorist to reach an intersec-tion. A thirty-mile speed limit on through highways in residential areas. Minimum age of 18 for license applications, except in special cases. Compulsory registration of a motorist's change of address within thirty days. Regulations requiring pedestrians on roadways to face the traffic and to cross at intersections.

Amos W. W. Woodcock today approved the acceptance of commer cial food orders for the Tangier Island relief expedition on which Quartermaster Sergt. Wilbert V.

Hunter, of the State police, lost his life. The food the relief party endeavored to sled across the bay ice in a severe snow storm last February 7 represented or ders by island groceries on Crisfield wholesale houses. "To that rather shows good judg ment," said Colonel Woodcock, as adviser to Major Enoch B. Garey, State police commander, who organized and led thi relief party. Before the special board appointed by Gov.

Harry Nice to inquire into Hunter's death, Colonel Woodcock summed up the evidence in the case from Major Garey's viewpoint. To Report To Governor The meeting was held in the office of Milton A. Reckord, the board chairman, in the Fifth Regiment Armory. At the close of Colonel Woodcock's summation the board went into executive session to consider what recommendations it will make to Governor Nice. It indicated that submission of the recommendations may be expected in the next few days.

Reading from the evidence the board had heard at previous sittings, Colonel Woodcock quoted one Tangier Lslander who testified that "we want food in our stores, so that our people can buy it." Other evidence, continued Colonel Woodcock, was that certain agents on the island had been authorized to open grocery accounts and contract bills Bp to a specified sum on behalf of islanders who had exhausted their personal credit. The assurance had been given, said Colonel Woodcock, that such bills would be footed by the Red Cross. Indorses Store Plan "When you put food in stores," the colonel told the board, "you make it possible for all the people to be sup plied. It is the natural and accepted method of distribution. "I think the judgment of the island ers, concurred in by Major Garey, was correct The plan was to put supplies in the island stores, from where they could supply a universal need," Another point Colonel Woodcock made was that the exact cause of Hunter's death never has been determined.

"Five members of the relief party fell through the ice, but only Hunter died," said the colonel. "Whether his death was due to the fact that he was overweight, or to the abundance of the energy he expended or whether it was due to some unrevealed physical defect no one will ever know." Cites Lack Of Overcoat Col. Woodcock commented that at the time he fell through the ice, Hunter was without an overcoat, hav ing given his to a member of the party he thought needed it more than he. At the beginning of the open meet ing General Reckord inquired whether or not Major Garey intended to ad dress the board personally. The major and Colonel Woodcock retired from Continued On Page 29, Column Draws Up Plan To Revise Laws On Autos And Pedestrians' Conduct A requirement that all drivers of motor vehicles take an examination every ten years to prove they are capable of driving is one of the provisions of the act prepared by the Commission on Revision of the Motor Vehicle Laws, John E.

Raine, chairman. The commission was appointed by Gov. Harry W. Nice late in January, 1935, following a suggestion made by President Roosevelt that the States revise their motor vehicle laws to bring about as much uniformity throughout the country as was practicable. The conclusions of the com mission have been embodied in an act which will be introduced in the Legislature if the rule limiting legis lation at the special session to relief measures is modified.

Present Law Cited A provision in the present law which says that when the Motor Vehicle Commissioner revokes license the revoking is stayed by an appeal to court is changed.

Annapolis, March 11 A bill propos ing to legalize and license handbook betting on the races in Baltimore under the supervision of a special commission was offered today in the House of Delegates. The estimated revenue of $1,250,000 to $1,500,000 would be dedicated to unempleyment relief. The bill was offered by Delegate Walter J.

The designation "by request" is a term used by legislators when they do not want to bear the responsibility for a measure. Tell Where He Got It Delegate Baker, answering questions, said the bill was handed to him by the Maryland Alcoholic Dispensors' Union. He said the representative of the union who asked hi mto introduce the measure was "Bob Price, who runs a place in my district." The "place," Baker admitted, is a saloon.

Delegate Milon Tolle (Dem Baltimore county) presented a bill to provide for the appropriation from any tinexpected balance in the general funds to the Stale Treasury for the payment of salaries and expenses incurred by the Maryland Milk Control Commission.

Fine, was held for grand jury action in $5,000 bail on a lottery charge. The magistrate impose- the unusu ally high bail when he became dissat isfied with the answers made by How rd, who is colored, to his questions. Fine asked Howard to name the man for whom he was "writing numbers." Howard, according to Fine, denied writing numbers for anybody.

"I'll put your bail at $5,000," said Fine. "And you can lie in jail until your boss digs it up for you." Howard was the second colored man arrested on lottery charges since the police received word that "numbers writers" were carrying on their activity on street corners in Northwest Baltimore. Using Motive Power For Road Repairs Frederick, March 11 (IP) The State Roads Commission today prepared to use power-driven equipment in the repair of winter damage to Frederick county roads. Visiting the County Commissioners here, Dr. Homer E.

Tabler, commission chairman, said that motor equip ment operated by one man could do as much as five men with picks and ahovels. The repair work, he said, will be done at a lower cost per mile. Ferret Captured Wandering Along West North Avenue Add another to the list of strange animal life found the streets of Baltimore. It is a ferret Said ferret was captured yesterday by Samuel Rothchild while gingerly picking his way along the asphalt in the 900 block West North avenue, and wrote a new page in the history of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals here as the first ferret ever to come under its protection. An opossum was picked up by a police patrolman while wandering near Calvert and Lanvale streets a few days ago.

The ferret, however, may be claimed if described and identified by its owner. It has no culinary value, and unless it does find an owner will be "put to sleep," according to plans of the Society. I TRAFFIC GROUP ASKS FOR PARKING METERS Recommends Devices To Time Cars, Wrecking Of Hanover, Part Of Belair Markets Trial of a meter device for measuring the time automobiles are parked on the street was recomrrjended in a report made to Mayor Howard W. Jackson today by the Mayor's traffic committee, Preston D. Callum, chairman.

Other recommendations were: That owners of stalls surrounding Lexington Market be required to locate them under the roof of the market That the same be required at Belair Market and a part of the Belair Market buildings be torn down and used for parking space or other purpose. Would Raze Hanover Market That Hanover Market be torn dawn and used for other than market purposes. The committee recommended that nothing further be done about the ef forts to synchronize traffic lights until the city acts on previous recommendations of the Traffic Committee to the effect that street cars be eliminated from certain downtown streets. Mr. Callum explained that the park ing device is a mechanism by which the collection of fees for parking in spaces on the streets designated for that purpose is made easy.

He ex plains that the motorist drives into a space marked for parking, turns a handle and the device begins to check on the time his machine remains in the spot. When the machine is taken away the charge for the parking is dropped into a slot Successful Elsewhere The device has been used with success, according to Mr. Callum, in Ok lahoma, in Dallas, Atlanta and other places. A trial of it in Baltimore can be accomplished, says Mr. Callum, with out cost to the city.

It is recommended that it be given a thorough trial. The recommendation as to the re moval of the stalls which are out in the streets surrounding the Lexington Market has been made in the past by other bodies, including the last grand jury and the Grand Jurors' Associa tion. Hanover Stalls Vacant Conditions on the streets surround ing Belair Market show similarities with the conditions of the streets surrounding Lexington Market, it was said. The Hanover street is declared to have outlived its usefulness as a market It is pointed out that of 176 stalls there 159 are vacant, The committee suggests that if this market were torn down the space might produce revenue for the city as rented parking space. Or, it is suggested, the site might be used for a small city park.

The storm, described by the Weather Bureau as a typical northeaster, was moving up the Atlantic Coast from Florida. From time to time gusts gave the rain unusual force, making the streets miserable for pedestrians, reducing visibility, flooding gutters, choking sewers and forcing motorists to drive with caution. Rained All Night Setting in lightly yesterday after noon, the rain continued during the night It settled down to a steady downpour about daylight, and had produced approximately half an inch of precipitation by the time the Weather Bureau took its forenoon observations.

Temperatures remained at a mod erately high level. From a maximum of 63 degrees yesterday afternoon, they dropped to minimums of 50 degrees in the suburbs and 51 degrees in the downtown section at 3 o'clock this morning. Storm Gathers Intensity As the storm moved northeastward along the coast.it gathered intensity. Storm warnings, already displayed as far north as Atlantic City, including the Chesapeake Bay, were extended to Block Island. Winds of gale force were expected along the coast today.

The rain is predicted to continue through tonight, probably ending tomorrow morning, with fair weather setting in tomorrow afternoon. Some what lower temperatures are expected tonight with minimums of 40 to 45 degrees. Today's brisk easterly winds are expected to back to westerly and diminish late tonight Conditions Complicated R. Weeks, meteorologist and section director of the Baltimore Weather Bureau, said conditions caused by the advance of the storm from Florida had been complicated to some extent by an area of low pressure over the Great Lakes region. This had not exactly aggravated the as far as the Baltimore area was concerned, he said, but it did create some uncertainty as to exactly when the rain would cease.

Clearing skies' would see a return of normal March weather here with seasonal temperatures, he said. Highway Caves In At Belle Vista Ave. Sinks Foot At Intersection Of White; 2-Foot Indentation Appears In Joppa Road The highway at the intersection of White and Belle Vista avenues in the northwestern section of the city caved in to approximately one foot in depth, residents of the section reported today, and a two-foot indentation in the Joppa road between Brookland-ville and Riderwood appeared shortly before noon on the spot where county road workers two weeks ago poured twenty-five tons of hard rock into a similar cave-in. Suburban residents said the crevice in the street was possibly due to a broken water main, since workers had been filling in at the scene for a week. Others explained that a spring was known to run through the locality.

Traffic was diverted for several blocks. Heads Marine Office Here Major Adolph Miller today took over his duties as head of the United States Marine Recruiting Office here.

Cobourn, the Cecil county Democrat who yesterday was revealed to have been an investigator for the Republican State Survey Commission, today declared on the floor of the State Senate that criticism of him for that employment was unjust.

Ever since the revelation was made in a report filed by the investigating commission, Senator Cobourn has been referred to by his colleagues as "the G-man." A similar designation has been applied for some time to Delegate Leon Abramson, Baltimore city Democrat, Who has been retained as a special investigator for the chairman of the Republican State Roads Commission. Explains To Friends Rising to a point of personal privilege during today's Senator Cobourn said: "Due to the large amount of publicity given to my engagement by the State Survey Commission, I feel that some explanation is due my friends in the Senate. "I was engaged by the State Survey Commission to do special work in which the commission was then engaged. It was work of a special character for a limited time, the duration of which was uncertain when I was engaged. I did my work, I am informed by the commission that I did it well, and I did it to the best of my ability, "Neglected Practice" "My engagement terminated when the special work was concluded.

About forty passengers remained on the car while firemen extinguished a slight blaze caused by the insulation burning off a small wire beneath the floor. Hundreds of trolley passengers were blocked and delayed early today when tire broke out in the basement of a building at 29 West North avenue and forced fifteen persons, three of them young boys, to dress hurriedly and leave their apartments.

Street cars were blocked In all direc tions from North and Maryland avenueswest as far as McMechen street, east as far as Barclay street, south as far as Falls road and north as far as Twenty-third street. 0 Trolleys Blocked At one time, it was estimated, nearly seventy trolleys were at a virtual standstill, including cars on the 10, 25, 13, 17, 291 and 11 lines. Emergency crews from the Baltimore Transit Company placed "jumpers" across the hre hose, but it was some time before traffic moved smoothly again, Automobile traffic was also delayed. but to a lesser extent Motorists found other downtown routes without much difficulty. Flames 'n Cellar The fire broke out in the cellar of a building devoted partly to the office and display rooms of the J.

S. Reed Piano company and partly to apart ments. In the cellar at the time1 was Wil liam Waibel, a piano regulator, whose attention was drawn toward the center of the basement by a "crackling noise." Near the ceiling, below a number of fuse boxes, he saw what looked like a "ball of fire." Alarm Sounded Waibel called to Henry Wolf, an other employe, and then ran to Mary land avenue and Lafayette, where he sounded an alarm. Both men left the building, as did a colored porter. A second alarm was sounded when firemen arrived.

Meanwhile Patrolman Edward Wilson, of the Central district, ran into the building and called to eight per sons in the apartments. They were already awake. Apartmenta Vacated Those who left their quarters at 29 West North avenue are Mrs. Carmelina Pezzella, 27; her husband, Angelo Pez-zclla; her son, Michael, 6, and a guest, Mrs. Chester Grigsby, who had just arrived to visit Mrs.

Pczziella: Mrs. Agnes Moran and her two sons, Greer. 16, and Arthur, 12, and Mrs. Elizabeth Akers. Smoke from the blaze seeped into the apartments at 33 West North avenue and forced out four others- Mrs.
