available for the maneuver camps:

sympathy aroused by the fact that
nearly 10000 poor emigrants, after
having sold their little all to come to
this land of promise" were turned

perfect a practical way of finding out
in advance whether those who desire
to come will be allowed to enter or
not.

Push Buttons ON Trolley Cars
Will Be in Operation Feb. |
No More Need Passengers Rant and Rave at Being Car
ried Past Their Streets

Thees little buttons are placed be-
tween each window of the car. All
that is necessary when a passenger
wants to alight is to press this button.
A bell or buzzer sounds in the front
OF the car and the motorman stops
at the destination desired.
There have been many complaints
from passengers, particularly women
passengers, that they have been un-
able to attract the conductors atten-
ton and are carried by the street to
which they want to go.
In many other cities the push but
tons are used with the best of results.
The only objection offered here has
been the fear that they will be mis-
used.

The provision for the clusters will
be included in the budget of the De-
partment of Public Safety and the
cost, 1t is figured, will be pretty nearly
made up, if not entirely so, by doing
away with the overhead arcs at these
points. The five-globe clusters have
proven so popular in the commercial
district that merchants and other
business men have asked for the adop-
ton of the new system.
While these four points have been
practically agreed upon, it is possible
that others may he chosen, too. and
with this idea in mind Commissioner
Bowman will make another tour Of
