BROOKLYN WAR on AUTOIsTS.
POLICE Begin Crusade Against Fast Driving
Most Offenders From Manhattan.

Many complaints have been made to the
police regarding the reckless manner in
which automobiiists ride through the
streets OF Brooklyn. and Deputy Police
Commissioner Farrell has decided to make
a crusade upon the speedy ones. More
bicycle cops are to be placed on Bedford
avenue and on the Ocean Parkway, with
instructions to arrest any automobile
driver who exceeds the speed limit,
1T Ia becoming unbearable on Bed
ford avenue and the Ocean Parkway
Deputy COMMISSIONS Farrell said yesterday
we have decided to take steps to prevent
automobilists from racing machines through
the streets like locomotives, Indeed, these
machines are more dangerous to life and
limb than locomotives. Persons may see
q locomotive, but the Automobiles come
along like streak from the most unex-
pectsd places and the drivers never give
warning by blowing their horns. II Ia
dangerous for grown-up people or children
to cross the streets
Persons coming from Manhattan are
the rankest violators; they seem to think
that Brooklyn is a country district and
Bedford avenue a village road. They are
not only driving pedestrians of the ave
nues, but men and women who go out in
carriage for pleasure driving They have
practically destroyed the Ocean Parkway
as a place for pleasure driving. We pro-
pose to put a curb on reckless automobile
driving and all violators will be arrested

street, on the charge Of having in their pos
session about SO 900 stolen bricks. They
also locked up Thomas Burns Of 43s East

John P. Kane Company Of 2s7 Fourth avenue,
notified the police few days ago that he
was unable to account for about forty

The GOODNESS between them became
accumulated when Feitu was commissioned
by the French Society to design a bronze

Aucaigne on the train for Valhalla, where
both have summer residences.
Feitu says that he noticed Aucaigne in
the train with two women fiends. but did
not speak to him. After the train left
North White Plains, he continues, Aucaigne

Waterbury of New York, who in Shamokin
on Thursday evening broke his own record
by playing piano continuously for twenty
six hours and fifteen minutes, announced
to-day that he will shortly make trial
at pounding the keys for thirty hours with

that Waterbury cannot do this, and much
money is being wagered on the result OF
the test.

wears no shirt and has his wrists firmly
bandaged. His favorite air Is Flower
Song which he plays when the strain be-
comes severe. He says it never fails to
soothe and encourage him.
