STREET TRAFFIC SQUADS
DUE TO ONE MANS LABOR.
William Phelps Emo Credited With
New Works Achievements.

To William Phelps Emo is owing the
street traffic control system which has
SO often attracted the attention of vis-
itors to New York. But few years
since blocks and jams in the busy
hours were Of daily occurrence on the
principal streets of the city. 1t re-
quired not alone minutes, but frequent
" hours to disentangle the masses of
wagons, carts and carriages, even
street cars, by the police and permit

One of the fayorite 'stunts" of hui
morous writer's in the newspapers was
a description Of the picturesque oaths,
habits and skirmishes Of the drivers
and coachmen on these occasions. AS
far as pedestrians We're concerned, it
was frequently life and death strug-
gle for them to pass from curb to curb,
and it became recognized duty Of po-
llcemen to act as escorts for women
and children on the street crossings.
Mr.. Emo, a New Yorker by birth, Of
independent means and a lover Of
horses, with personal experience Of
the dangers of the streets, was attract
ed to the question Of improving condi-
lions and eleven years ago began
systematic study of the problem. He
visited London, Paris and other large
cities, comforting with the police and
other city officials, made diagrams and
drawings and gradually evolved what
he believed was practical working
system Of traffic control. Then he be-
gan systematic educational campaign
with the authorities Of New York.
Step by step he gradually won over to
his views the various officials having
control Of the streets.
There being neither honor nor reward
for either the individual or commits

among the models upon which other
cities are looking as examples for eff

The city authorities Of London and
Paris, the latter city especially, have
asked Mr.. Eno's aid in solving their
| traffic problems, and he is now in the
latter city trying to help them bring
order out of chaos, for the streets of
Paris have always been of all cities
the most eongested and dangerous.

THEODORE DER CROSSE, Ell?
Foreign Steamship Companies May
Capture American Names.


Capture American Names.
At luncheon in New York a day or
two ago some men Of the shipping
world were discussing the subject Of
steamship nomenclature, and it was
generally conceded that something
must be done abroad to prevent new
steamships from acquiring the names
Of prominent American characters, cit
les and politicians.
With the Martha Washington, the
George Washington, the President
Grant, the President Lincoln, the
United States, the Pennsylvania and
the Chicago, all owned by foreign COM
panies, it was said that there was no
limit to the American names that
might be thrust upon the proposed
steamships of the various foreign
lines running to this port.
1t was suggested that the Hamburg
American line might call it's new 49,
600 ton liner the Theodore der Crosse;
the next creation of the Red Star line
might be the Hughesland; the White
Star the Loebic, the Cunard the Taft
onia, the Holland-America the Cannon
dam, the French line the La Toilette,
the Scandinayian-Ame line the
Hellig Harmon, the Italian line the
Re di Gaynor, the Anchor line the
Griscomalia, and last, but not least,
the American line if it ever builds a
new steamship-the Oyster Bay.

which she had received, had drawn it

Speak Kindly.

Did you ever realize what a. very
good thing to speak we'll of your enc
mics and rivals? From utilitarian,
not a moral, standpoint. When you
say kind thing about a man whom
the listener knows you have reason
to dislike, you may incidentally do
him some harm, but do yourself in
finitely more. Bring it home to
yourself. When you hear man
speak well of his rival don't you feel
glow of admiration for the man
all proportion to your feelings for the
man he eulogizes? In the same way,
speaking i'll of an enemy is apt to
hurt you more than it does him. It
does not matter whether you are
right or not Nobody loves a mud
singer, whether the object at which
he filings the mud deserves to be mud
died or not.

people took the body of O'Neill, who
was expiring, from the officers, car

Aiken Wants the Seaboard.

Aiken, April 14.-Aiken is going
to make an effort to get the Seaboard
railway to come here. At meeting
of city council tonight the matter
was Informally discussed. and the
fact that Springfield, Barnwell and
Orangeburg are alive to the advan'
tages of having the Seaboard to pass
through this city were discussed by
the gentlemen of the council.
The matter terminated in council
requesting the mayor to take up the
matter, and invite a representative
of the Seaboard Air Line company te
come to Aiken and look over the
field. It has been learned that by
coming by Aiken, a route can be
secured from this city to Augusta
with about a 1 per cent. grade, ano
engineers here state that an easy
route could be effected at compare
lively small cost.
AS is well known, Aiken has but
one railway system, the Southern
though it has two roads. The advan
tages of competition are we'll know1
to Aiken, and if the Seaboard will
but consider the proposition of ex
tending its railway from Augusta
through Aiken city and county, or
to Springfield, through Orangebur4
county to Orangeburg city, it viii
meet with great assurance of sup
port, as the citizens all along this
proposed route will give all the en-
couragement in their power, and be
sides this is one Of the most fertile
sections in the State, as well al
densely populated.
