Man Tells How He Was Kept From

Two complainants, one of whom de-
clared that he had only appeared to
break the monotony for the board, ap-
peared before the Ticket Scalping Com
mission at City Hall this afternoon, and
the board ended its sessions.
Edward Schetz of 5O3 East Sd street
Chester, had a double grievance. He
said he stood in line at Gimbel's for more
hours than he could count and he was
always in the 25th position, even aftet
the ticket sale started.
Patrolman James Reach of the reserve
corps, was the object of the second
grievance. He and Schetz were former
fellow townsmen and friends. Schetz de-
clared the bluecoat had a fat roll of bills
and every time they saw each other
Keach drew out the money and fin
gered It,
Schetz admitted that he tried to buy
better place in line, but Reach refused
to take it, Before rushing out to get

he did not have his picture taken, in

a grievance.

a-MILES-AN-H FOR AUTOS
AT CORNERS, PROPOSED RULE
Ordinance introduced In Councils
Follows Sulzberger Criticism.

A drastic revision Of the traffic regula-
tlcns pertaining to automobiles is con-
tanned in the ordinance introduced in
Councils this afternoon by John 7, Con-
nelly, chairman of the Finance Commit
tee. This action comes a few days after
Judge SulZberger in an address 10 the
Grand Jury. charged Councils with delib-
crate neglect in failing to provide ade-
uuate regulations Of automobiles and held
that body responsible for many accidents.
Automobiles will be required tp slow
down to eight miles an hour a all street
intersections within the bui.t-up sections
Of the city should the new measures be
passed. The present regulation provides
for a speed not exceeding 20 miles an
hour. No provision is made for street
intersections.
"A fine of s25 for each violation Is pro
vided in the ordinance. Auto trucks and
motorcycles are specifically named with
automobiles in the measure. II is pro-
vided that the owner of the vehicle pay
the fine If he is riding in il at the time
Of a violation. If not, the driver must
pay.
The ordinance provides that II shall he
the duty Of the Department OF Public
Safety 10 make such details NJ policemen
10 detect offenders as may be necessary.
The charge of Judge SulzberEer to the
Grand Jury that probably inspired the
ordinance was one OF the most bitter ar
raignments Of Councils heard I'm years.
He pointed out that the Mayor is pow
erless to do anything without the help
of Councils. He declared that that body
had killed legislation 10 cut down the
speed Of automobiles at street corners.
but had passed another ordinance 10 stop
trolley cars, the peoples autos" at all
intersections.
