DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1931 Form Safety Division in Institute of Government i Officials of the newly formed Street and Highway Safety Division of ?he Institute of Government are pictured above. Reading from test to right, they are: Governor J. C. B. Ehring haus, chairman of ihe steering com Chapel Hill, Aug. 21.—Judge W. A. Devin today announced the formation oi a Street and Safety Highway Divi sion of the Institute of Government and outlined a far-reaching program looking toward the reduction of the staggering toll in life and property taken by automobile accidents in North Carolina each year. “The findings and recommendations of the Safety Division will be drawn up at a meeting of our officers with the governor and will be laid before the officers and citizens of the whole State at the 1934 session of the in stitute, to be held in Chapel Hill, Sep tember 13 and 14,’’ Judge Davis said. Governor Ehringhaus has accepted an invitation to serve as chairman of the steering committee. Judge Devin is also chairman of the organization committee of the institute, which is comprised of upwards of 65 groups of public officials and private citizens in Iftcfhih CommauctmciU®) fcVA&a <~>£)r EifIDIRMA QfIENDDIRIICtfeS xffy READ THIS FIRST: DonaM Reeves, young instructor is found shot to death in his office on the campus of Center City uni versity. The janitor who discovered the body summons Officer Callaghan. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY J CHAPTER 2 COMPLETING his survey, Cal laghan stepped around the body to the open windows, closing and lock ing them. He paused with his hand Ait the knoli of a door near Reeves’ desk. “What about this doe' * “It opens to the washroom,” Dan Answered, raising his eyes from the body. “It’s always locked. Nobody’s ■ot a key.” His manner was calmer itow as if he had been influenced by Callagha n’s self-possession. The patrolman strode to the door through which they had entered. “Got the key to this?” Dan nodded. “Lock it then and show me where there’s a ’phone.” Dan did as ordered and led him toward a small office at the front. The room, when Dan had unlocked the door, was disclosed to be that of A secretary, with neat bare desk and Slecase. The officer picked up the telephone And called Central Station. "Detective bureau,” he ordered. “Gimme the Inspector.” He spoke With a certain amount of satisfaction. It wasn’t every day a cop got to re port a dead man on the university beat. “Inspector Lee? This is Callaghan •t the university. A perfessor’s been killed at the English House. . . . Yeah, 462 University Row. I ain’t sure it's murder, of course—there’s a gun laying near the body. But he sure don’t look like he meant to shoot himself. . . . Yeah, the janitor just found the body and told me.” Dan bristled., He had never been chummy with “the campus cop”, as the students called him, and it would he a distant day before he forgave Callaghan for calling him a janitor. “O. K., inspector,” Callaghan an swered after a moment’s listening, and hung up the receiver. “The inspector says to keep the door locked and not to let nobody go tl». He’ll be right out. Better give me that key,” he added. . Dan shook his head stubbornly. “That key’s the only one I got and I got to clean the rest of the offices.” “No. you don’t.” Callaghan re plied. “What do you want to do, go around destroying a lot of clues? Just for that, you'd better give me the keys to all the offices.” “There’s only one. It opens them all. I got to empty the wastebas kets, anyway.” “Only one, eh?” Callaghan ignored Dan’s last sentence. "So a guy with a key to any office could get in any other one?” “Say, listen.” Dan demanded with some loftiness in his manner. “Are you trying to say that one of this department—the English department —killed Reeves? Because you’re crazy If you are. You don’t, know the door was even locked and if it was, somebody could of got in on the fire escape, couldn’t they?” Callaghan laughed. “Come on, give me the key.

Eichhorn, city clerk of Greensboro. Judge Devin stresses the point that the new safety division was intended to supplement and correlate rather **A perfetsor’s been killed— anybody killed him? Maybe he shot himself. Though like l told the in spector, a guy that looks that scared don't look as if he'd done it himself. Anyway, the prints on the gun will show that.” Dan looked startled. “You hadn’t thought of that, huh? Well, it might’ve happened that way. What was this guy Reeves like, any way? Any reason you know of for him shooting himself?” Dan walked over and picked up the discarded mop and broom. “I sup pose I can rnop the hall floor, any way.” "Well,” Callaghan hesitated. “Oh, I guess so,” magnanimously, waving his hand. “Go ahead. It don’t show any footprints anyhow. What about Reeves?” Dan went deliberately to the wash room, there was the sound of swiftly running water and when he returned he carried a full scrubbing pail in his hands. Picking up his mop, he set conscientiously to work near the secretary’s office. Between slaps of the mop, he growled. "Reeves would never do anybody the favor of shootin’ him self.” “So you didn’t like him, huh?” “He was an old grouch. Always yelling at everybody.” He grinned suddenly for the first time that morning. “He sure scared the girls to death, though, always yellin’ at them. They all hated to get into his classes. Good for them it was, too. Always taking better minds than theirs off their work. ’ Dan had a deep and unreasoning dislike for the co-eds of the university which even extended to Marilla Edwards, the ozily woman on the English faculty, who hadn't been a co-ed for many years. "How long had the perfessor been here?” asked Callaghan stepping out of the path of the big mop as it swished its way to tlie murdered man’s door. “He wasn’t a perfessor, explained Dan painstakingly but scornfully as an educated ..mind, might chide a stupid one. "He was only an instruc tor. Like—like you a s,f n t a captain but only a cop. Bee ' “* of£e re<i Highway Patrol; 'Oscar F. Adkins, president of the Sheriffs Association; J. G.

Our program will be drawn up in the light of their experience”. With regard to the various laws that several organizations are draw ing up for licensing drivers and regu lating traffic, Judge evin made it clear that it was not the intention of the Safety Dvision to serve as sponsor. “Our sole purpose,” he said, “is to supplement and correlate the work of cur cities, counties, and private ganizations, and to see that all suen proposals with me are aired out be fore the different groups so that the State and its citizens can get the the explanation with relish. “Say, what do you mean?" de- I manded the officer. “Well, you ain’t a captain, art you?” asked Dan reasonably. “No, but I will be some day.” “Sure and he would have been a perfessor some day. too.” Dan an swered, “if .” He paused. This exchange with Callaghan had made him forget what ft»y behind that door. Now he remembered and began mopping feverishly as if he were anxious to get on down the hall and away from it. r He had reached the end and was turning into the washroom with the mop and pail of dirty water when Callaghan’s next question came. ‘Was he married?” “Yeah. She was nice. too. Too nice for the likes of him,” called back Dan as he emptied the pail. The rush of water into the pail from the faucet almost drowned the policeman’s reply. "Can’t hear you,” yelled Dan. "Wait’ll I’m through.” The water rushed on for a minute or two, then stopped. Callaghan heard Dan swishing the mop around and squeezing it out. In an instant he reappeared in the hall, mop and pail in one hand. "What'd you say?” “I said maybe she done it.” Dan looked disgusted. "She’s the only one that never would of done it. She was crazy about him,” he declared vigorously. He collected the broom and dustcloth, putting the broom In the pail with the wet mop. and hanging the dustcloth across the handle. Then he looked about him and sighed. “This’ll be the first time they ever got here and found the place in a mess. Wait till Wilson sees it He’ll tell you what’s what, interfering with ” A siren sounded down the street, interrupting him. ’’lt’s the inspector," yelled Callag han, leaving his post and hurrying down to the front door. Dan set his pail in a t -rner of the hall and ran down after him.

Professor Tucker has already prepar ed the tentative draft of a guidebook for traffic officers. A series of stuc.-js is now under way in the different traffic regulations of the various cities, looking toward the standardiza tion of local traffic control insofar as it is practical and feasb»e. Another series of studies will be mde in the various ways traffic cases are handled by the different cities, county and State courts. * The judicoal officers and prosecut ing officers divisions of the institute of wiiich Judge evin and Clawson Williams are the heads, are cooperat ing in the latter. The plan is to col lect statistics and make a monthly checkup on the disposition of traffic cases throughout the State. The need out of which the Safety Division of the Institute of Govern ment grew v/as illustrated by Judge Devin with a few graphic figure-.. “W?e are killing from 800 to 900 a year on the public highways of North Carolina an average of 70 to 75 a month. We are injuring 6,000 a yeai an avezage of 500 a month. The di rect property loss runs into hundreds of thousands, and if the economic loss of time away from work <sf the injured people is counted, it runs into millions of dollars, Judge Devin said.
