MUST ENFORCE LAW
MAYOR WRITES POLICE CHIEF
 ABOUT AUTOMOBILES.
-Policeme. Given Positfve Instructions to Arrest All Drivers of Cars Running Faster Than Eight
 Miles Per Hour.

In response to many complaints, Mayor .Teague has instructed Chief or Police Taylor to get after the motor ists who exceed the city speed limit and to kNep after them until he abates the nuisance. In his letter to the Chief. Mayor Teague stated plainly that he expects the police department to enforce the ordinance, and closed his communication by saying it must be done.
 Chief Taylor yesterday met both the night and day sections of patrolmen and told them that when they saw a person in an automobile to arrest them if they were going faster than eight miles an hour, and that ifS the men on the force now could not make such arrests he would get men who could. MT. Taylor said yesterday that ai- though accidents in the city from motor cars had seldom been reported, still the motorists were now going a' a steadily increasing rate of speeu' and the danger to children, infirm per sons and the public In general was III creased to such an extent that the | nuisance must be abated at any cost The number of cars in the city has increased greatly of late. and one can hardly look any direction on any oi the streets without seeing an auto- | mobile.
 The chief looks upon the cyclometei question more favorably than he did g | few days ago. and the probability is the bicycle men will soon have tneii machines equipped with these lnstru,
 nents. When they are brought into use. some of the men will be detailed for bicycle work in plain clothes. ano in this way 1t Is believed the "scorch' lers'' will soon be brought to realiza' tion of the danger they place pedes' | trians in.
 Judge Baber said after the trial o, thef fourteen motorists last week tna' as soon as the men are proViueo WI. an Instrument for recording the speed oy the cars going too fast, he will be in a position to place a few hnes that will make it extremely unpleas' ant for a motorist to be proven gulity
