SUGGESTS NEW FORM
/. FOR ISLE OF SAFETY
Writer Proposes Safeguard at
18th Street and New York
Avenue Be Triangular.
To the Editor of The Ssr;

To the Editor 81 The Stsr
/ wish to enter my protest against the
so-called isle of safety ut the intersection
of 18th street and New York avenue with
q view to providing protection for pedcs-
TRANS crossing at that point, we'll as
for those boarding and alighting from the
street cars.
/ admit there is need for an isle of
safety" at this place in question. but do
and shape which has been placed there.
The idea Of an isle of safety is good es
pecially in view OF tho fact that pedes-
trian was killed al this intersection few
years ago and that many narrow escapes
daily occur there but why not adopt a
smaller ono and triangular, in prolonga-
ton of the curblincs, the logical shape
for it.
For several years the police department
has been engaged in regulating traffic in
the National Capital One of the hardest
problems which it has had to solve was
the movement around circles.
Now that this has been solved. and
pedestrians and drivers of vehicles are
properly educated the department Is
once more confronted with a circle prob
a triangular isle of safety at the in
tersection of 18th and Fl streets and New
York avenue need not necessarily he
permanent. A temporary one could be
provided similar to those in other cities,
forming the isle by means of ropes sup
ported on movable posts with large
round bases.

ing a large delegation from the Noun
tain state Thomas II. Brown, national
democratic committeeman, headed the
committee. They discussed with Secre
tary Tumulty, who received them, the
general situation.
Among the questions of patronage of
concern to Vermont is that of the APP
pointment of a judge to fill a vacancy

Vermont, Connecticut and New York.
Justice Stafford of the Supreme Court of

YOUTH GETS POULTRY
BY FAKE PHONE CALLS
Colored Boy, About Is, VIC
timizeS a Number of Deal
erS in Clever Manner.

NictimiZinE a number of poultry deal
ers by means of fake telephone calls
and purloined letter heads or cards
stolen from several Washington res
taurant proprietors. an unidentified col
DID, according to complaints made at
police headquarters. has been doing a
rushing business with frying chickens
for several days past.
The colored boys plan Of operation,
which, the police say, would do credit
to a swindler much older than the boy
is said to be, is to call up poultry deal
ers telling them some lunchroom or
restaurant needs several chickens. the
supply on hand having been exhausted.
The poultry dealer is informed that a
messenger will call for the goods with
in a few minutes, and to have the order
ready.
Bow Would Show Card.
A little later the boy would call at
the stand or store, present a card or
letter head from the place that is sup
posed to have called up and get the
chickens. The dealer. when he tries
to collect the bill learns the proprietor
never gave the order
The police, who instituted a search
for the boy today, believe that most OF
the chickens obtained by means of the
fake telephone messages and stolen
stationery are sold by the boy, who
probably asks q low price for the fowls
and therefore has little trouble in dis
posing of them. 1t is the theory of
the police that the boy has an older
confederate who probably planned the
scheme.

Means Less Confusion.

Traffic could be handled with ease
and with less confusion than at present.
Traffic is hard to handle at its best, and
the simpler the traffic conditions and
regulations the easier it is to handle and
the better the results. \ circle at this
point is as much out of place as would
be a circle on New York avenue near
18th street. where passengers board the
Chevy Chase. Baltimore and Annapolis
and other cars and where there is also
great need of an isle of SAFETY
Let us have the isle of safety of the
movable type. triangular III shape; re-
frain from making any furtner arrests
until the matter has been definitely de-
cided upon. Simplify traffic conditions,
not complicate them. i submit herewith
a drawing on the same scale as the one
which appeared in The Star last Ihurs-
dav. showing a triangular isle of safety
drawn in prolongation of the curb lines
at this point. HOWARD 3 Fish

Results in Other Cities.

In New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Detroit Cleveland and indianapolis
isles of this character will be found in
use and are giving splendid results. In
some of the cities these isles are used
only during rush hours. after which they
are removed. And one of the greatest
uses for this type of isle is to provide
protection for street car passengers. With
"a triangular isle the patrons of the New
York avenue street car line could easily
be taken care of and at the same time
permit vehicular traffic to proceed along
it's natural lines without being inter-
rupted.
With a triangular isle of safety traf-
fic could proceed north and south in
front of the New Masonic Temple over a
forty-foot street, which is the same Width
of 18th street at other points on either
side, while under the present arrange
ment the width of the street at this point
has been reduced to twenty-five feet
New York avenue could MAINTAIN its
ninety-foot width and H street its thirty
five-foot width
