TURNED DOWN BY COL. COSBY
ADVERSE REPORT ON COMMITS
SIoNERS MOTOR RULES.
Difficult to Enforce Regulation Re-
quiring "Mufflers'' on Vehicles.
He Says.

Police regulations recently promulgated
by the District Commissioners for the
government Of motor vehicles in streets
avenues and roads in the District. will
not apply to such vehicles when in the
public parks and reservations. These
parks are under the jurisdiction of the
chief of engineers of the army, excep,
in the case of Potomac Park, which is
under the direct Jurisdiction Of the Sec
rotary Of War.
4 few days ago the District Commits
sioners sent a copy of the regulations
designed to prohibit the use of noisy OF
ill-smelling motor vehicles in the Dis
trio. to the chief Of engineers of the
army with the request that they be made
to apply, also. TO the public parks and
reservations Their letter was referred
TO Col. Cosby, the engineer officer in
direct charge of public buildings and
grounds. His report was adverse to the
request. He expressed his belief that il
would be difficult to enforce that portion
Of the Commissioners regulations reauir-
ing the use or ''mufflers.' on the ground
that its execution would require consid-
cradle technical knowledge of motor We
hicles on the part of the park and
metropolitan police He pointed out, also,
that the requirement in the Commission
ers regulations, that an automobile shall
close down its motor when the vehicle
is not In motion, would practically pro-
hibit automobiles from participating in
the band concerts in Potomac Park.
Col. Cosby called attention to the regu.
latioE on this subject recently adopted
by the chief Of engineers for the public
parks and reservations. and expressed
the belief that it is sufficient for the
purposes for which it is prescribed. That
regulation reads as follows:
1T is forbidden to run motor vehicle
that emits excessive, unusual or offensive
quantities of gas or smoke or disagree
able doors or that makes an unnecessary
or unusual amount of noise.
Col. Abbot, acting chief Of engineers,
approved the report of Col. Cosby and
informed the District Commissioners that
the regulation quoted by the latter was
thought to be sufficient for it's purpose
SO far as the public parks and reserva-
tions of the District are concerned.

ted that he had failed to pay his three

ordered when Mrs. Van Sse was granted
divorce. Last Christmas, he said he
returned to Cleveland on a visit and
went to see his children, but his divorced
wife and her relatives refused him permits
sion to see them. Part of the court
order. he said, gave him such permission
