CITIES FIGHTING
STREET GAR BILL
Pollard Tells O'Flaherty IIc j:
Totally Wrong in His
Position.
ECHO OF ROW ABOARD CAR
Necessity OF Giving Conductors
Police Powers Is Ably
Presented.

city Attorney Henry L. Pollard.
appearing before the House Committee
on Roads yesterday morning, frankly
told u. c. O'Flaherty that he was dis.
timothy wrong in his position-wrong In
his refusal to vacute II street car re.
Gently when ordered to do SO by the
conductor; wrong in his argument
against the exercise of police powers
by conductors and motorIncn. ant
wrong in his advocacy of the Throck-
morton bill. Mr. PoIlard's REMARKS
made visible impression.
An impassioncd speech was made h.:
Mr. O'Flaherty. The bill prohibited
street car men from acting as police
officers at all in cities OF more than
$4,000 people and OF at any time
enforcing the rules of the company
Mr.. rhrockmorton said he would elm
mate the $4,000 feature when It was
said by witnesses that 1t would nuilify
tho Jim Grow" law In many sections
DO Not Assume Power.
y. y. Guigon, representing the Nir-
GINA Railway and Power Company
eaid that leaving this section out left
ture desires to enact law declaring
that the moon Is not made of green
cheese or that the sun rises In this
cast he said. ''it may do so, and ]
shall not object. But inasmuch as no
conductor now tries to act as police
officer in enforcing the rules of n COM
pany, nor was that attempted in Mr.
O'Flaherty's case. nor Is there any such
law. don't SEQ the necessity for this
enactment"
Mr.. Pollard said that Mr.. O'Flaherty
was disordcrly i'll refusing to vacatc
the car when ordered to do so, and
that such conduct was likely to start
n panic In a place where women and
children arc often crowded The con-
ductor. he said. exercised his police
power only when Mr.. O'Flaherty be-
came disorderly. and not in enforcing
the company's rules.
Mayor Richardson. Police Justice
Crutchhcld. Chief of Police Werner and
others appeared against tho bill Chiei
kizer. of Norfolk. made speech
against II, and there were bushels of
letters and kilograms from city Off
Gals and circuit judges throughout the
State protesting against 1t. The bill
went over until tomorrow.
