There are probably more arrests Of
Automobiles charged with exceeding the
speed limit within the confines OF Queens
than in any other borough in greater New
York Some time ago Magistrate Fitch.
in the Jamaica police court collected In
one morning more than 500 i'm fines. and
owing to the many accidents due 10 reck-
less driving residents Of Queens are IL
tally interested in the enforcement Of the
laws against speeding.
Coupled with the report that a flaw In
the Calan law has rendered it aon-cf-
fective in furnishing speedors comes the
rumor in Queens that there is talk among
chauffeurs of forming combination and
seeking to recover the $500 or more they
have paid in fines i'm the courts OF that
borough under the provisions Of that law.
Just what truth there Is in this report
is not known, but II is the determination
OF all the magistrates In Queens still TO
seek some means of preventing reckless
driving in that borough. and Police
Magistrate James J. Conway says that,
despite the inadequacy Of the Callan law.
there still remains city ordinance which
provides both fine and imprisonment for
reckless driving. IN al INTERVIEW vi the
subject Magistrate Conway said:
while the Callan law is undoubtedly
inadequate. 1t should not be forgotten
that the city ordinance which regulates
street traffic provides for a fine or i'm
prisOnment OF conviction OF reckless
driving / suggest that the attention Of
the public be called TO this ordinance. I'm
order that there may be no misunder-
standing as to the powers Of the court 10
infiict punishment. IL would be most UNI
fortunate for all boroughs, and particu-
larly the Borough Of Queens. IL reckless
drivers should get the idea that they can
race their cars through the streets OF the
city with impunity.'
From what can be learned, all the police
MAGISTRATES i'm Queens are unanimous i'm
melting out drastic punishment TO auto
nobilsts who turn the thoroughfares OF
Queens into speedways.
When Police Magistrate Fitch was
asked what action he would take In view
of the decisions against the Eallan law.
he simply referred 10 his collection Of
more than 800 in fines in one morning
from speeders.

Mr. Sullivan was ono Of Governor VIII

Martin Wade and a number OF other OF
his friends mention him as the Secretary
of the Interior in the Wilson Cabinet.
Mr.. sullivan. however. proved TO be one
of the most enthusiastic Bryan boosters
that newspaper men in Governor Wilson's
party have yet encountered.
"Of course. Mr. Bryan should be in the
Cabinet" he said. in answer 10 CUES

some good reason was given for keeping

Needs Intelligent Treatment.

steamship which can be foreseen' ana

subways under both rivers the passenger
problem OF the city. IN its connection with

the city to take the same comprehensNe
and intelligent grasp on the freight proo-

fashion, and while ] have not made so
careful study Of the situation as 10 De
able TO form an opinion as TO whether
the Commissioner or the Board Of Esti-
mate is most nearly right In regard 10
the railroad treatment along the North
River. I have no doubt that the dliier-
ences Of opinion will be determined In the
near future. The years slip away so
easily that the city ought not 10 delay ac-
ton day longer than is unavoidable es-
pecialiy when, as / judge, the fina! de-
termination OF the pier line awaits the
adoption OF definite plan by the city.
II wish to the Commissioner and 10 the
Board of Estimate happy solution OF all
their problems in the new year and am
confident that the solution, when It Is
reached. will be a happy one for all.
Charles p Sumner, general agent oil
the Cunard Line, expressed his complete
confidence in the work which Comiris-
sioner Tomklns was doing for the Port
OF New York and Mr.. Bush said he De
lieved the city was on the verge OF oeu-
mite action. There had been three years
of talk. he remarked. and only one year
was left i'm which to carry out the pom
cies OF this administration. He agreed IN

Philadelphia, Dec 29.-Self-supporting

The commission declares that 80 many

Need of Clear Policy.

You ask me what, I'm my opinion, arc
the most important questions, at this mo-
ment, which relate to the waterfront of
the city? In my judgment. they include
the adoption OF we'll defined policy IN
regard TO improvements, the building OF
piers long enough to accommodate the
largest ships now building or to be laid
down In the near future; the most eff
clent and cheapest method which can be
devised Of handling what goes IN and out
from this waterfront: the connection Of
waterfront districts with others to which
they are o-related-binding together. for
example. by marginal railway the wa
terfront OF Brooklyn from the old bridge
TO Bay Ridge. 30 as to furnish. through
the connecting railroad and the proposed
Wards Island Bridge, direct rail com
munication for the Brooklyn shore with
New England.
Open piers all along the waterfront at
proper intervals are needed to accommo-
date the miscellaneous commerce of the
port and city and cheaper the cost OF its
delivery by reducing the length OF the
carriage haul. and there is also need of
expanding in all parts or the city for APP
propriate improvements such amounts as
are necessary from the funds released by
the operations OF the waterfront Itself
from the constitutional debt limit.
Seth Low. president Of the National
Civic Federation, said:
II think that Commissioner Tomkins
is absolutely right in the emphasis he
lays on the importance OF comprehen-
slve plan and prompt action on the part
OF the city. With its unrivalled harbor
New York has become the greatest port
In the country. but the Commissioner is
clearly right in saying that unless the
people will take farsighted action to de-
velop the capabilities OF the harbor from
the point of view OF modern commerce
all that nature has done will not avail

missioner Tomkins's prophecy of a bright
future for New York as port, published

There can be no question that the

not be locked at from purely municipal
point OF view. The greater part of the
national imports pass through this port.
