AUTHORITY OVER THE STREETS
OF TRAFFIC UNDER
CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
Bill Conferring Power on the Com
missioners Prepared by Corpo-
ration Counsel Thomas.

Having as It's object the giving o.
power to the Commissioners to suspend
traffic on certain streets during parades
to secure public order or public safety.
the draft of a bill has been prepared
by Corporation Counsel Thomas, and
Commissioner West has moved before
the District board that Congress be
asked to enact the bill
At recent public celebrations in the
National Capital the need for such a
law was strongly emphasized. The in
ability of the Commissioners to order
the suspension of traffic during the
time of parades made 1t impossible for
the police to preserve public order in a
way that would have added to the gen
erai public. enjoyment Of the fete.
Provisions of Proposed Law.
The proposed law provides,
That the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict of Columbia be and they are hereby
authorized to regulate. govern, control
or prohibit parades, PROFESSIONS and the
like in the streets, avenues and other
places under their supervision, and may
in their discretion from time to time, as
occasion may require, regulate or sus-
pend, in whole or in part. traffic of what
ever character or kind upon or over any
street, avenue or highway, or part or
parts thereof, during such reasonable
PERIODS of time and by such means as
they may determine to be necessary to
safety, or the protection of life or prop
erty.''

erty, were again brought to light early
this morning in the return to her home
of Frice Jennie Lopez of 3O5 East 39th
street, who was taken away by an un-
known man on September Z. It would
be hard to find a family in more stringent
financial straits than that of the kid
naped child. But. notwithstanding this,
the girl was stolen and ransom of
$4,000 demanded. 1t was the fathers
utter inability to pay this sum, or even
small part of it. that probably led to the
sending home of the child.
Yesterday while Lopez was standing be-
hind the counter of his fruit stand a man
suddenly came In and asked the father
whether or not he wanted the child back
Lopez answered that he would give all he
had in the world for her safe return, but
that he did not have a cent. He offered
his furniture and his business. The
stranger said nothing and went out.
And then this is what happened: At
II 30 o'clock last night policeman,
while on his post in 37th street near ST.
Gabriels Park, noticed ragged little
girl wandering along. About her head
was wrapped towel. She was crying
The child was the Lopez girl
All that the child could remember was
that she had been taken to the country
and to house where man had left her

Tho Adirondack Summer Resort Business
Alone Amounts to Millions.


Alone Amounts to Millions.
UTICA, May i.-.Commissione whipple
said q few days ago that the forests OF
tho State arc Of more value than its canals,
A recent report OF the Forest, Fish ana
Game Commission gives hint OF the
value Of the summer resort business
alone. The business done each year by
the hotels and boarding houses In the
region contributes largely to the devel-
opment and prosperity OF northern New
York. and 1t fairly approaches in mag
nitude to that OF the great industries
which are dependent on the forest product
OF the Adirondaoks. Thousands OF people
are employed In the business. whils the
surrounding towns and cities profit to
a considerable extent because OF the
goods they sell.
The commissions report shows that
Adirondack hotels in Clinton county
accommodate s.15s persons; Essex. 7,7is;
Franklin. 1920; Fulton. 40; Hamilton.
3se5; Herkimer. 2,415; Lewis $40; Oneida.
$50; st. Lawrence. 1928; Warren. 5000
or q total OF %, ,602 persons. The above
figures do not include the private camps
and sanitariums. The average length
Of time spent in the Adlrondacks by each
visitor Is about two weeks; hence 1t Is
figured that In those days about 200, 900
people sought recreation and health IN
that region. This estimate was proved
to be about right by the reports OF the
railroads-the Central and the Delaware
and Hudson-which allowed that 225.O0O
passengers were carried, during the sum-
mer season.
1t was estimated that more than 1000
600 were invested In hotels and boarding
houses and about $1,000 600 In private
camps and cottages. The total wages
paid to 1s,s07 guides, clerks, servants.
cooks. etc.. were 500. $50; cash paid for
