AUTO REGULATIONS
ADEQUATE, SAYS WEST
Commissioner Shows That Arrests
Have Been Frequent and Favors
Full Penalties for Violations.

Commissioner West answers recent
criticism of the automobile regulations
by declaring them adequate. and sug-
costing that the Police Court exercise
Its full jurisdiction and authority in the
matter of imposing fines for violations.
Many citizens have opposed the regu-
lations as being inadequate, arguing
that the owners OF autos deliberately
drive their machines beyord speed limit.
preferring to pay a fine, rather than 90
slow. The Commissioner says:
with the view of learning the man
ner in which the regulations have been
executed by the Police Force. and ad-
ministered by the Police Court I OBJ
tained from the Major and Superinten-
dent OF Police a complete list of all ar
rests for violations of the automobile
regulations since they vert into effect
The information. now at hand. shows
that in the period named the police
made hfty-three arrests. of which forty
were for fast running, a record which
demonstrates that the police have at

CHIEF CLERK BURCH
ENTERS A DENIAL
Cotton Crop Estimates Not
Given in Advance.
IT'S HELD TO BE IMPOSSIBLE
Each Clerk Has His Own Part of the
Work to Do-Eve1y Pre-
caution Taken.

Col. S. r Burch, chief clerk of the
Agricultural Department. denied yester-
day that there was any truth in the ru-
mors that the results of the depart
ment's estimates on the cotton crop
were given to favored spectators in
advance for the purpose of influencing
the market. Colonel Burch said:
1T is impossible for anybody to give
out the Governments information for
the benefit Of SPECTATORS. No person
or combination of persons could get hold
Of the information without taking into
his confidence the entire staff of clerks
engaged in the computations. Each
clerk has his own work TO do. and has
no chance to see that Of his fellow
clerks
The figures of the Different subordf-
mates are turned over to Chief Statis-
tician Holmes. and he makes the final
computations, stating what the DEPART
ment estimates as the total crop. Even
Mr.. Holmes would have no opportunity
TO misapply this information. as il is
given TO the public within an hour after
he has finished with the figures. If he
were TO hold up the computations in
order to give them to favored brokers
the fact would soon become known
around the office.
We have taken every possible pre-
caution to make the figures secret. and
do not see that there is any way in
which they could leak from the Office.
l attribute the trouble to the accuracy
with which private statisticians are
able to compute the crop.
There are several firms with thou
sands OF correspondents figuring on the
crop The correspondents of these pri-
vate individuals are in many cases as
accurate and as able as ours. and the
consequence is they come pretty close
10 the departments estimates.
These private estimates are especial
~ valuable If the market gets the inn
preston that they are those of the
Agricultural Department. and we be-
ieve that their compilers have put them
forth with the statement that they
were the official figures. BY doing this
the market has been influenced. and
when the department statement comes
so near the predictions of the enter
pTising brokers IL is Immediately as
sumed that there was a leak IN this Of
fee. which is not true
