pointed today to the rapid recovery of
Rev. Clarence V. T, Richeson, accused
of the murder of Avis Linnell, and VINO
so mutilated himself in his cell at the

sons bedside day and night to pre-
vent the prisoner making further ef-
fort to injure himself.

TRAFFIC UP
TO POLICE,
is CLAIM
Police Board This Afternoon De-
cided TO Rescind New
Order.

After being referred to the Board
of Works by the Police Board, the
complaining Team Owners Association
was told this afternoon by the board
that it had nothing to do with the new
traffic regulations at Broad and Mar
lIet streets.
THE Board of Works has no police
power" 1t was stated.
Messrs. Price and Hartman, who ap-
peared as counsel for the team own
ers. insisted upon threshing the mat
ter out as long as the police board
had suggested that the regulation was
the result of a recommendation of the
Board of Works.
James r. Nugent, city counsel stated
that the police had power to make such
a regulation, althouhg the team owners
think that the traffic rule will not
stand a court test.
The team owners objected to the dis
elimination made between them and
the trolley company.
The Board of Works, however, de-
clined to mix in the affair and nc
satisfaction or relief, as yet has been
obtained by the team owners.
Late this afternoon the Police Board,
in session, decided to rescind the new
order.

A stone was used to break the thick
plate glass of the window in the jew
elry store Six gentlemen's watches
and six ladies' watches, all gold. were
taken.
The popularity of the robbery was
the daring manner in which 1t was evil
