90F ACCIDENTS

" WASHIN GTON, D.
,April 1 o. -
.Mlsuse or closed cars and untamil- ’
larity with the rules or safety for the
new "closed car era" are declared to
be an unrecognized cause of many
’ automobile accidents, according to a
bulletin just issued by the American
Automobile Association.
In the opinion of A. A. A. offic-
ials, accidents will decrease as soon
"as the motoring public learns to
«operate closed cars more safely and
at the same time revise its ideas of
caution to fit the new conditions.
Coming at a time when the auto
industry is preparing to meet an
unprecedented Spring demand for
closed ‘cars. which are becoming
more and more popular, the A. A.
A. bulletin is expected to be the
subject or considerable thought and
discussion among safety advocates
who are said to have overlooked the
significance“ the public change-
over from the open car to that of
5 the inclosed type.
“Alleading cause of the high
lutomoblle accident rate," the A. A.
A. paper states, "is the iailurc of the
average driver to recognize the new
type of caution necessary )vith the
new type of motoring.
“Accidents will be on the decrease
as soon as the public learns to oper-
ate closed cars more safely. At
present hundreds of thousands of
drivers are misusing their closed
cars and ignoring the new rules of
safety that go with the new type of.
motoring. As a matter of fact, they
do not appreciate the fact that the
new rules are necessary.
"They have gone suddenly from
their open models to their closed
cars without appreciating the new
type ol.’ danger that is always asso-
ciated with anything one is not fa-
miliar with. They feel that what
they have learned With regard to
safety in its connection with opcn
car driving will suffice for their new
type of motoring They allow this in—
norance to “in for them the repu-
tation of being caxelnss
"Visibility in closed cars is actu-
ally better than in curtamcd open
cars, but the closed car's shortcom-
ings are or a different kind. The
problem is for each driver to discov-
or this difference and act accord-
ingly.
“By taking undue hbrrtir‘s pith
the advantages of the closed car
-much or its inherent safety has been
nullified. Drivers have .'"I’L that be-
cause they were shielded against the
elements they were immune from
danger. Thus we hmc found thous-
ands of motorists \‘t-nturing forth in
storms that would not take so great
a toll of human life if motordom
were still on an open our basis.
“Motorists haw,- taltcn great libcr-
ties “ith the speed which closed
cars make possible by mason of their
extra weight and tIlL‘il‘ ability to
shield agaimt the wind. Many per-
sons are driving 1:11- faster than thcy
imagine and are thus unprepared for
the danger which unarmlfly accom—
pany ono's ignorance of speed. The
A. A. A. agrees with engineers that
highway speeds will be materially
higher within a few )‘crirs. but such
increased speed cannot be safe until
drivers are prepared to handle it.
3 "The landslide to closed cars is in
full swing, but accidents will not be
materially lessened until the aver-
age motorist becomes familiar with
his new surroundings."
With a, View to familiarizing the
motorist with those changing condi-
tions and to enlphusizte the point
that it is ignorance more than carc—
lessness that occasion. the present
high rate of accidutts and fatalities.
the A. A. A. outlines the following
suggestions for the (noragv drlxer

chiet of counsel for Chapman, and
the federal government for the pos-
session ot the money taken from the»
famous prisoner to.lowing his ar-
rest at Muscle. Ind.. in January.
From Chapman the police at
Muncie took $4, 563.9! in cash.
$3,000 in Liberty bonds and jewel-
ry valued at 8600. Chapman assign-
ed this money to his chief counsel.
but the government declined to re-
linquish possession of it and during
the progress of the trial papers were
served on Chapman and his counsel
in furtherance of the government's
claims. The contrary actions form
the basis or a legal controversy, the
government .maintaining that any
money found in Chapman's posses-
sion was clearly not his property.
while Grochl will contend that the
iederai authorities must establish
proof that the cash seized in Mun-
cie had been part of the loot taken
from the government in order to on-
title the national government to
claim it. ‘ '
Just where the cash came from to
finance the legal tight waged in
court to save the life or the bandit
and which is still being waged in
the appeal to be made to the higher
court. is a question that is interest-
ing many. Chapman had to his cred-
it in the federal penitentiary at At-
lanta. (3.11., at the time of his escape
in 1923. but $250. But the legal hot.
11:: that has been carried on in his
behalf and which will be carried on
to the end is a costly proposition and
one would not be carried on with p
{cw hundred dollars. It is true. some
of the lawyers engaged in Chap-
man’s defense are understood to
have received no money as yet andl
haVe paid their expenses from thclr
own purse. .but it is generally ex-
pected there will be a reimburse-
nmnt. With some left over for fees.
The lawyers refuse to discuss the fi—
nancial end or the arrangement “ith
Chupman, and Chapman himself
professes to know no more of fi-
nanccs than the public'is already
acquainted with. the funds at Nun-
cie and Atlanta.
